I've a couple of Turkish friends and the stories they tell are really quite alarming.

Orlando-Kabul-Instanbul-Dhaka. Terrorism is steadily working its way towards being a daily occurrence.

Gunmen have stormed a popular cafe in the diplomatic area of the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, taking a number of hostages, officials say.
Several foreigners are among those being held by eight or nine armed men in the city's Gulshan district, they add.

A police officer has been killed and at least five others injured in a gun battle, a spokesman said.

So-called Islamic State has said it carried out the attack.

Update on the attack in Dhaka

It ends with 20 of the hostages being killed. Another grim day.

I certainly wouldn't want to be the one arrested, especially over there.

The recent bombings in Baghdad, that killed so many people recently has brought to light that the Iraqi security forces are still using fake bomb detectors at checkpoints. They were sold to them by a British con man who is in prison for 10 years. It has been proven by British authorities that they don't detect anything, but the Iraqis still use them because they have nothing to take its place!!!!! Abadi has claimed they work between 20 to 50 percent of the time, depending how much training the operator has,lol Just how stupid is that government!

It's just the overall mentality in these countries, or in this area of the world.
It is, you could say, a different world over there.

Another way of looking at it: If you have no means of detecting bombs other than watching people blow up, then whatever you do, do not tell the terrorists the coast is clear. Desperate times need desperate nonesense, nonsense is better than no sense at all, anything that can cast any doubt into the minds of future suicide bombers. If one suicide bomber bails out because of that then that counts as a victory. Small victory but big victories are in the realm of fairytales for them, unfortunately.

Good point.

Surprised that no-one has brought up the Medina attack. It's a good thing that the bomber was stopped before he made it inside the Prophets mosque because if that had been attacked then things would have been even worse.
But yes, all these attacks on Muslims during the holy month of Ramadan, not good, and goes to show that while we think we have it bad from Islamic extremism, it's the Muslims themselves that have it far far worse.

Potential incident occuring in Nice, France. A lorry has ploughed through a crowd celebrating Bastille Day, reports of many casualties.

Reports of 60 dead, it looks a real mess there.

Sadly, I suspect the gloating will commence soon.

Tragic day.

Still, rather secondary to the events at hand, but another sad consequence of the times we live in.

EDIT: And frankly, I don't have the energy to go through the same old arguments back and forth, so I'll just leave for a few days until it's out of everyones system.
