Let in tens of thousands of "refuges," almost all of whom are young Arab/muslim males and you expect something different?

Most likely it's the ones the refugees are running from.

Most likely it's the ones the refugees are running from. Women and children first doesn't seem to be a major part of their culture. Also, until there is some reliable way to determine which ones are true refuges and which are ticking time bombs, wouldn't it be prudent to halt the overwhelming immigration?Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Halt the immigration? Prudent??? But but but that would be racist!!!! That wouldn't be politically correct!!! No no no we must let more of them in. We must pretend these are truly refugees and give up everything for them and pretend it's just a tiny minority of .... well somebody else I guess... that's doing the bombing. And the raping too that's going on all over Europe. We must give up our own living spaces for them.

God doesn't look so great today, does he? I wasn't going to mention it, but it's because Europe has rejected God that Islam is flooding in. Being invaded by enemies is one of the judgments of a nation that God spells out in Deuteronomy and Leviticus. (Economic collapse is another -- Greece?) There's no point in mentioning it because it will only get more scorn and derision and cause for judgment coming from people here. Even Coyote who at least sees the reality of the situation won't accept this as the cause of it because it's all just a tribal delusion according to him. But I can just about guarantee you that if Europeans in significant numbers turned back to the God of the Reformation the judgment would abate. If that doesn't happen you can count on more attacks. But at least a few people are willing to admit that Muslims are not a good thing for Europe. That's a start. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

It's the same god Faith - the God of Abraham.

Allah is NOT the same God Tangle. He has nothing in common with the God of Abraham. He's one of Satan's inventions.
Religion? When people say that are they thinking at all of the atheist state-caused murders of the last century? However, Satan DOES do this sort of thing. Sometimes in the guise of a religion, sometimes in the guise of an atheist state. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

Satan .... ffs, gods, imaginary agents. Childish bollocks.
PEOPLE do these things; superstitious people deluded by fanatical religious belief. Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien.

Well, there you have it, the very attitude that is going to keep the attacks coming. Sigh.

Are you suggesting that Christian nations are safe from Islamic terrorism?
And, with regard to the judgement coming, isn't this judgement something you would welcome? If not soon when would you prefer it to happen given that you presumably consider it an inevibility?

Are you suggesting that Christian nations are safe from Islamic terrorism? There aren't any Christian nations any more, but if there were, genuinely Christian nations I mean, nations that committed their safety into God's hands, nations whose leaders prayed and obeyed God's commandments as used to be the case with many European nations and the US as well, preferably the leaders but a large number of citizens might suffice, yes, they'd be safe from terrorism and God's judgment in other forms.
And, with regard to the judgement coming, isn't this judgement something you would welcome? If not soon when would you prefer it to happen given that you presumably consider it an inevibility? I don't want judgment to happen at all, judgment kills people and makes life miserable. Edited by Faith, : No reason given.

At least 127 people were murdered last night in terrorist attacks at Paris cafes and restaurants, France's national stadium, and a crowed concert hall. Eight terrorists are known to have died at this time, seven by suicide bombs and one shot and killed by Paris police. The Islamic State has claimed responsibility.
How do we make this stop? Is this like 1940, when it became apparent that peaceful measures had failed and that putting the dictator back in his box would be a formidable challenge? Are we again a year or two late in keeping local troubles from blossoming into a major threat to world peace and stability? --Percy

The period you hark back to of true Christian nations seems to be the same period where these true Christian nations were busy fighting and slaughtering each other.
Faith writes: judgement kills people and makes life miserable So is this judgement avoidable or will it inevitably occur sooner or later?
