Re: Ugh - tragedy/attack? just happened in Nice, France - Lemon Drop - 07-15-2016 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jul/15/bastille-day-truck-driver-was-known-to-police-reports-say More about the driver. He lived a very secular and personally troubled, violent and anti-social life in France. "not very religious" according to people who knew him May have more in common with Omar Mateen than with Al-Baghdadi.

No I usually look for them at PTA meetings. There's an assumption that these guys are religious fanatics and quite often they are not. The full narrative doesn't apply.

They are looking for results and are smart enough to know who to motivate.

They are looking for results and are smart enough to know who to motivate. I think that ISIS could be largely neutralized and attacks like this in France would continue. There is a unique political, cultural and social situation in that country that makes this type of terrorism likely to continue, unfortunately. Re: Ugh - tragedy/attack? just happened in Nice, France - Carnos Jax - 07-15-2016 I suspect as much Lemon. Going further, if we were to label every Christian in this country who commits violent crimes against homosexuals, (or anyone else that don't adhere to their set of beliefs), we'd be full of terrorists. |
