This all makes the method appealing for finding explosive devices,

A new image has surfaced online of the bomb, hidden in a soda can, that ISIS claims was responsible for downing a Russian airliner over Egypt late last month, killing more than 200 people.
The image, included in the latest issues of an ISIS magazine, shows a soda can and what explosives experts told ABC News are a blasting cap and an electric initiator. The ISIS magazine said the image showed “the IED [improvised explosive device] used to bring down the Russian airliner.” A U.S. Navy Marine Mammal Program dolphin named KDog, wearing a locating pinger, performed mine clearance work in the Persian Gulf during the Iraq War.

Hardly 'new', this was reported a month ago in the UK press:

A large force of Daesh fighters attack 3 different Kurdish positions north of Mosul, but are repulsed with help from US, British and French warplanes!

Would have loved to see the damage those jets did when catching those clowns out in the open!

Virginia schools shut in Islamic calligraphy row

Bit of a dumb move to use that particular piece of text to illustrate the point, there's plenty of Arabic words out there to use. Shame that it escalated to the point that they felt the need to close the schools though, but better safe than sorry given the climate of fear.

I have no problem if a school wants to offer Arabic language, history, arts course. Heck I would even be fine with Middle Eastern religious studies.

But the above calligraphy lesson was just stupid.

I do believe in God. But I also believe 'religion' needs to stay out of public schools.

Agreed, I think in all governments there should be a clear seperation of the church and state, including in education. Religion is a personal matter after all, "render unto Caesar" as the saying goes.

By all means study religion in school, but look at more than one, take a good look at the Qu'ran and the Bible as well as the Torah. That's what we did back when I was at school, and truth be told, I can only recall a handful of things from those lessons since I found them...a struggle to stay awake in most of the time.

If you're going to demand complete separation between church and state then I don't want the subject of religion being mentioned in class (at least K through 12) at all. This is because it can not be done without the teachers personal bias affecting the presentation one way or the other and it is not the job of the state to decide how religions are portrayed.

According to a Norwegian news paper who have their information from the Norwegian NSB=FBI

About 200-250 special trained Daesh people are in Europe and ready to do terror.

Don't know how reliable these information are.

Yeah it could be more or it could be less but i'd bet that there are at least some. Western borders (and I include my own countries borders) are far too porous to stop determined and well funded group from infiltrating people, weapons or anything else.

Or how about a representative from each religion is given a week or so with each class? That way they can all get their respective viewpoints across without governmental bias. A bit like a job market, but with religions.
Otherwise the only exposure they'll get to religions outside of their respective areas will be through the media and we all know what that's like.

By now, I am only surprised nothing happened in Germany yet.
But it is only a matter of time.
Scary thought.

I'm really surprised too, honestly I am. I'm also surprised we haven't had a major attack happen here in a decade.
Guess either they're not trying as hard as we're made to believe they are, or our security services are better than we think they are...or somewhere in the middle.
