[dream]

Worrying about Islamophobia when there are countless dead and even more taken hostage seems insanely distasteful to me.

 

[Machina]

CBS is reporting 100 hostages in the theater.

This is not good.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Just saw this, please tell me this isn't the scum ISIS's doing?

 

[Guy.brush]

God is so great, he apparently needs AK 47 bullets to convince infidels that he created the universe.

 

[Kathian]

Worrying about Islamophobia when there are countless dead and even more taken hostage seems insanely distasteful to me.

Agreed.

 

[Cyd0nia]

I'm going to have to disagree here.

What?

 

[GIANKRATOS]

This is insane

 

[Stinkles]

Oh goddamn it because it's perfectly safe for the people taken hostage and people who were shot dead?

He didn't say that. It's not a goddamned contest.

 

[SliChillax]

I'm not even in France and I feel like crying. I'm angry and feel hopeless at the same time. My visiting London next week with my girlfriend and I'm afraid these attacks will spread everywhere.

 

[Mecha]

If this is ISIS this might push us into another war

ISIS will claim responsibility, even if it wasn't them.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Sure, I don't disagree but it seems a little bit heartless for that to be some peoples first reaction.

First reaction for GAF, yes, but not first reaction.

When I found out I was shocked, my next thought was fuck this better not be radicals...

 

[outunderthestars]

Stay strong Paris. <3

 

[Walpurgis]

Anyone who opens fire on innocent people is not a Muslim no matter what they shout or think they are.

Yup. Breaking a pretty basic rule there but I don't want this to become one of those threads.

 

[Oersted]

Wondering if the bomb threat earlier today was a redherring or just a coincidence.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo has arrived in the street near the Bataclan Concert Hall

 

[Sun Bather]

Just saw this, please tell me this isn't the scum ISIS's doing?

No one knows and I don't think it's of importance right now.

 

[Machina]

God is so great, he apparently needs AK 47 bullets to convince infidels that he created the universe.

This goes beyond religion. This is a blood feud.

 

[Omiee]

God is so great, he apparently needs AK 47 bullets to convince infidels that he created the universe.

wauw really?

 

[Keyser Soze]

100 hostage in a theater will not end well I fear. The people involved with this do not want anything other than death and destruction.

 

[Head of Vengarl]

I feel sick. Those poor people... Absolutely senseless violence. My heart goes out to everyone in Paris.

 

[SkylineRKR]

Europe won't be the same after today

Its climate pretty much changed after the turn of the century. But we'll get over it, and something might happen again, somewhere. Its not like this is the first attack in Europe.

 

[Deosier]

This is insane

 

[ClosingADoor]

Just saw this, please tell me this isn't the scum ISIS's doing?

We don't know. If it is Muslim extremism, the chances are higher they are 'homegrown' terrorists. But we really don't know who has done this at the moment.

 

[M52B28]

If this is ISIS this might push us into another war

At this point, I'm surprised these countries are tolerating this.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

If this is ISIS this might push us into another war

[Tugatrix]

shooting on the bataclan police on the roofs near by shooting

 

[jamesmccloud]

Two suicide attacks strike my city yesterday and kills over 40 of my compatriots, women and children among them, it receives only a page worth of attention and the attack is labelled as an attack on a militant stronghold.

An attack by the same group on Paris attracts over 9 pages worth of following and condemnation.... Wonder what the reaction would be if Lebanese newspapers labelled the attack as an attack on a French military stronghold?

Regardless of my rant, the attacks on Beirut from yesterday and the vile justifications and gloating that followed are still fresh, my heartfelt condolences to the French people and not the government.

My thoughts as well, good post.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Jesus. This is terrible. Be safe Paris GAF. I hope the situation doesn't get any worse.

 

[valkillmore]

How the hell will we ever rid the earth of these fucks? How? How does it not just get worse? That's what's happened so far.

How do we stop it?

 

[Pterion]

Worrying about Islamophobia when there are countless dead and even more taken hostage seems insanely distasteful to me.

Priorities.

 

[G.ZZZ]

Yup. Breaking a pretty basic rule there but I don't want this to become one of those threads.

Jesus not a true scotman for fuck sake. Keep that shit out of there.

 

[Atrophis]

Just seen footage from the France v Germany match. Can clearly hear two explosions.

 

[the_sun_king]

Stay safe, ParisGAF.

My thoughts are with everyone directly affected in one way or another.

 

[Anfony O]

I'm going to have to disagree here.

These are the same people who killed 40 muslims
2 days earlier....

 

[Mael]

He didn't say that. It's not a goddamned contest.

You're goddamn right it isn't.

Worrying about Islamophobia when there are countless dead and even more taken hostage seems insanely distasteful to me.

Exactly.

 

[fierrotlepou]

How the hell will we ever rid the earth of these fucks? How? How does it not just get worse? That's what's happened so far.

How do we stop it?

It's only going to get worse. We're all fucked, man.

 

[Gurthang]

Go right ahead. These are extremists with a fucked up ideology. It's in no way in line with modern Islam.

Like it or not they consider themselves as true muslims and therefore we should also consider them as muslims.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Any indications of what group the attackers might be affiliated with yet?

 

[Angry Fork]

Is there no way to watch the periscope stream on PC? Is it only on phone's?

 

[anaron]

Worrying about Islamophobia when there are countless dead and even more taken hostage seems insanely distasteful to me.

It absolutely is.

Covering of the bodies near a restaurant

This shit is vile as fuck

Jesus.
A friend was dining out tonight and he's not answering his phone. Seeing this just turned my stomach even more.

 

[Pacbois]

In a bar somewhat near the bataclan. Everybody is locked in as a safety mesure. It's sort of creepy.

 

[finowns]

Anyone who opens fire on innocent people is not a Muslim no matter what they shout or think they are.

Even Muslims do bad things.

 

[SkylineRKR]

100 hostage in a theater will not end well I fear. The people involved with this do not want anything other than death and destruction.

Thats the scary thing. They don't want cash or anything. They value the afterlife. They are ready to die and take others with them.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Wondering if the bomb threat earlier today was a redherring or just a coincidence.

I would guess it was not connected, These type of attacks use the element of surprise to cause as much destruction as possible.

 

[Oersted]

Apparently 60 people now involved in the hostage situation.

 

[Lender]

100 hostages in theater. 35 dead. omfg

https://twitter.com/BuzzFeedNews/status/665291424712122368

Didn't they mix this is up with the total number of deaths instead of deaths in the theater?

 

[Spaced Harrier]

Anyone who opens fire on innocent people is not a Muslim no matter what they shout or think they are.

You don't get to decide that. Pure handwaving

You can watch on a PC but the one linked in this thread has ended.
