Refraining from calling it "Islamic terrorism" thread smells too much like political correctness to me.
Things are what they are and so far I don't hear an awful lot about Buddhist terrorists blowing people to bits or cutting heads off...

We could also just name this thread "The religion of peace strikes again!" but I guess this is a can of worms and would rustle the jimmies of those who are too concerned that the poor Islam is just being 'abused' again... or 'misinterpreted'... like it always the case...

Meh. :shifty:

I completely agree, old friend.

They have no idea what peace is, and could care less about peace. They're only doing what they're told to do.... to take over the world in the name of Islam.

I say it's time to clean house.

Nice to see you checking in every once in a while Todd! :salute:

CCIP 11-14-15 12:44 AM

I for one see this more of a closet xenophobe coming-out thread. At least it's good to see some honesty and expand the ignore list :D

Onkel Neal 11-14-15 01:47 AM

Ahoy Todd!:up:

Betonov 11-14-15 04:46 AM

I don't think it's trying to be politically correct.
It's a great bandwith saver if any non-islamic terror attacks occur.

Oberon 11-14-15 06:42 AM

I did ask Neal to close this thread and start a new one up with a more Islamic focused base but he refused, and since topic starters can't rename their own threads you're all stuck with it I'm afraid.

I guess it might be worth noting that I started this thread yesterday morning, before all the **** went down in Paris but I don't think anyone will really care about that, if there's a chance to call me and the topic title PC then I guess that's all that matters. :yeah:

"The all purpose terrorism thread."

A newer, deeper low has been found.

No matter your timing, Oberon, your intention was the same: to ridicule those pointing out that Islamic scripture and Muhammad's deeds are what motivates Islamic terror attacks, and to minimise the role of Islam in the scope of global terrorism. Underhanded cynism at its best.

Right, Skybird.

The worst thing ever has finally happened and it's a THREAD TITLE.

Log off. Sign out.

Place was nicer without you.

You just can't help inventing motives, can you?

Just keep it shut.

Jimbuna 11-14-15 07:37 AM

Cool heads everyone if you'd all be so kind.

Tchocky 11-14-15 07:40 AM

Well jimbuna I'd like to but it's a long standing habit of Skybird's to use tragic events to poke people he doesn't like and invent motivations for others on this forum.

I've no intention of dropping myself in the brig again but I've even less inclination towards letting despicable posts just float by.

Jimbuna 11-14-15 08:02 AM

I've made the only appeal I'll be making on the matter. Leave the moderation to Neal and I because should anything necessitate remedial action, it will most probably be one of us who will carry it out.

All threads (including this one) are monitored to the best of our ability and remain subject to Subsim.com's editorial policies.

Rockstar 11-14-15 10:30 AM

Not to sound sarcastic, or insensitive. But are French security forces and intel gurus overwhelmed? Or are these so called no-go areas so isolated from the rest of French society. There is no way to penetrate and develop any good intel on the players and potential threats of massive coordinated attacks with automatic weapons and hand grenades?

Is it a possible reason why it hasnt this happenend in other European countries or the U.S.? Or is it just a matter of time before it does?

I suspect just a matter of time.

There's absolutely no way we can know that. We don't know all of what was stopped.

Obviously there were plotters arrested in Verviers recently with weapons and explosives. That could have been an event like yesterday - we don't know.

The "no-go" myth running around again. France has deep problems with assimilation and alienation, but the old story of hundreds of places where police fear to tread just isn't true.

Certainly it can't be easy for the French security services.

It has happened. In London, in Madrid, in Turkey just a month ago.

How quickly we forget.

Betonov 11-14-15 11:28 AM

Not overwhelmed, it's that the terror tactics have changed from large bombs going off and it's easy to get the authorities alerted to it when one buys a barrel of ammonium nitrate and owns no fields, now they're focusing on mass shootings and grenades, which can be aquired slowly, maybe one piece at a time or smugled component by component into the country.

And as Tchocky said, for this one attack maybe 10 were stopped, maybe this attack was planned for a later time in bigger extent but the intel was too close to busting them.

Buddahaid 11-14-15 11:34 AM

Ugh. I just woke up to the nice news out of Paris. Be strong France.

I don't think the people conducting these attacks quite understand: on an individual level, for those directly caught up in the event, terrorism is as harrowing and tragic an experience as any other act of aggression, but collectively, no one here gives a damn. Why? Because Europe was the birthplace of INDUSTRIAL WARFARE! Random killings don’t achieve anything. Small minded fools with delusions of grandeur who think killing a few civilians and then dying themselves will somehow benefit their cause are just seen as an irritation. Take the 2005 bombings in London, for example. More people were pissed off because the Tube was shut down rather than because an act of terror had just happened in the capital. Picking up a gun and shooting lots of unarmed people before you yourself are taken down doesn't make you special. Anyone can do it and at the end of it, you’re dead, so the problem has essentially solved itself. The infrastructure you’re blaming for all the evils in the world is still fully functional because it’s never military or industrial targets that are attacked. It’s not “warfare”, it’s just random violence, and that’s easy for a nation to shrug off.
