[Nilgiri]

Beheading a Priest is killing someone who dedicated his entire life to only spread love and brotherhood.
RIP Jacques Hamel,86,priest for more than 50 years. I will be personally praying for him at the church this Sunday.

I have no words to say about this, just silent tears.

Oh great French nation, you must rise up together and decisively before it is too late!

SAINT-ETIENNE-DU-ROUVRAY, FRANCE: A priest was killed on Tuesday when men armed with knives seized hostages at a church near the northern French city of Rouen, a police source said.

Police said they killed two hostage-takers in the attack in the Normandy town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, 125 kilometres (77 miles) north of Paris.

A priest was killed and another hostage was “between life and death”, the interior ministry said.

The motivations for the hostage-taking were not yet clear, but the Paris prosecutor’s office said the case had been handed to anti-terrorism judges for investigation.

France truck attack was planned for months, with accomplices

The incident comes as France remains on high alert nearly two weeks after Tunisian Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel ploughed a truck into a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day in the French Riviera city of Nice, killing 84 people and injuring over 300.

French President Francois Hollande, who is from Rouen, and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve were on their way to the scene, their offices said.

Footage showed several emergency vehicles at the scene and the streets sealed off.

The Nice attack was the third major strike on France in 18 months and was claimed by the Islamic State group.

Two attacks in Germany claimed by the Islamic State group since then have also increased jitters in Europe.

After the attack in Nice, France extended a state of emergency giving police extra powers to carry out searches and place people under house arrest for another six months until January.

It was the fourth time the security measures have been extended since Islamic State extremists struck Paris in November, killing 130 people at restaurants, a concert hall and the national stadium.

The Nice massacre has triggered by a bitter political spat over alleged security failings, with the government accused of not doing enough to protect the population.

France expected to extend emergency laws after Nice

Prime Minster Manuel Valls had warned earlier in the week that the country will face more attacks as its struggles to handle extremists returning from fights in the Middle East and those radicalised at home by devouring propaganda on the internet.

France has been concerned about the threat against churches ever since a foiled plot against in the Paris suburb of Villejuif in April last year.

Sid Ahmed Ghlam, a 24-year-old Algerian IT student, was arrested in Paris on suspicion of killing a woman who was found shot dead in the passenger seat of her car, and of planning an attack on a church.

Prosecutors say they found documents about al Qaeda and IS at his home, and that he had been in touch with a suspected extremist in Syria about an attack on a church.

Wow..... what's wrong with these almost weekly isamic terrorist attacks in France?? seems French security services/intelligence need to review their policies, procedures etc.

It seems the guy was a "known" entity to French counter-terrorism intelligence.

Something in their system really needs fixing....and fast.

Anyway. It's understandable that some refugees who were let in will face cultural differences and feel alienated from the wider society due he vast difference in living conditions, culture. Way of life etc etc in fact everything here in the West is different from the way things are in Muslim countries in the middle East. So it's normal that some refugees will feel alienated and depressed to the point of committing such acts due to frustration .

Agree

Its like karma, west tried to put its finger into things it had no business over, and its now getting burnt 4 it.

Lol

What kind of nut job and sick people go stab a old priest to death, who has contributed more in charity to Muslims facing exile overseas or in general, than these sick people who committed this heinous crime.... RIP to the Priest, he should not be forgotten, and this should be a message to the French people that they need to change their approach in dealing with these people who are seemingly now committing a weekly attack in a country that has been historically(modern sense) stable.

The French authorities have to start being more brutal, just like the Arab police or Arab armies, and need to have suspicion of certain people, not necessarily profiling of whole community, but profiling of sections of community where people are known to be anti-education and somewhat radicalized, or even have their heads too deep in beliefs of God, and believe their lifestyle should be dictated by an old book, than they are not thinking normally and should be monitored.

Start implementing fear tactics immediately, in Palestine we do this, Hamas rounds up some Salafi's from time to time, interrogate them and instill constant fear in them, of those suspected or taking part in attacks against Hamas security forces or government buildings. You also have to be brutal, one time in Palestine, some of these nut jobs claimed Hamas is an apostate government(because they don't implement Sharia Law death penalties), and brought weapons and suicide bombers to the mosque. Initially, Hamas sent someone to talk them out of it, by means of mobile, once he came in to speak directly with them, on his way out, they shot him in the back and killed him. Afterwards everyone in there was a target, the whole place was shot up, and any of those caught captive, were summarily executed. No one tried anything stupid after that.

@Vergennes

What's going on mate? Are there that many radicals in France that are willing to attack people?

Well said. Huh.......but being a democracy that is not possible unfortunately. People (including some muslims) will cry foul if France ever did that . Other Muslim countries can do that with impunity though.

 

[hussain0216]

We should have picked our own cotton. Imagine an America without.......Oh well.

Or maybe you should not have stolen native American land and stayed in white Europe?

they did not come by force it was idiots in the west who let them in and now they are paying the price

Yep, results of 2 centuries of abusive colonialism and two world wars.

Recent foreign policy decisions resulting in destruction of countries led to incredible anger


All the terrorists killing today were all teenagers during the invasion of iraq, they saw the slaughter, murder, bombing, Abu Ghraib, justification and glorification in western media and became radicalized

Ask yourself why would they care about western civilians when the west dosent care about theirs

so they cross the sea cry in front of the media and when the stupid west take them in feed them and give them money they kill them and they target civilians no way any of this is right and btw this is not about colonialism these zombies attack everywhere they do from the middle east to the west

Isn't it funny how Indians and other bigots are going horny over this news not because they are concerned about French people or are concerned about innocent being killed by Terrorist. no not at all, if they were, they wouldn't have missed this news.


At least 19 people were killed and 26 injured in a stabbing spree

http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/25/world/japan-knife-attack-deaths/index.html

Since these people are killed by non, Muslim, propaganda defaming Muslim can't be achieved. Therefore, killing of two by wackos (not confirmed if Muslim or not, but giving orgasm to bigots) is way more important than the slaughter of 19 in Japan by non, Muslim.

July 22: Munich mall mass shooting - David Ali Sonboly, 18, shot dead nine people at a Munich shopping mall before turning the gun on himself, having spent a year planning the rampage.

BBC removed the name Ali from David sonboly, since no such name ever existed and the news is drooped because he isn't Muslim he is Jewish.

What angers me most ist that both islamist scum were known before. One was even locked with a electronic device yet nobody noticed he went to the church?

How is this possible?

There is something missing in between the "mind" (knowledge) and the "hands" (action) in French counter-terrorism process.

One may say its "heart".....because of the cancer from unfettered leftism that has permeated much of France over the years.

I hope France will inject sufficient amounts of chemo, radiation and surgery to get rid of this underlying menace that is the REAL problem. Terrorist proliferation and brazenness is simply one of the many symptoms from this disease.

America without blacks!! Caucasians will have no one left to hate So they will start cannibalising each other just like they did in Harlem.....

We'd always have the Mexicans............and of course Pakistanis'. What happened in Harlem ?

Or maybe you should not have stolen native American land and stayed in white Europe?...

My parents came to the U.S. (legal) in 1951. We didn't steal shit, Charlie. And maybe the muslims should have stayed in saudi arabia and not have spread through the world, killing along the way ? And how great if the Pakistanis stayed in Pakistan instead of coming to the U.S. and driving like idiots, cornering the Dunkin Donuts and gas pumping market ?

P.S. Killary is a career lying, corrupt crook. And a skank.

Listen I dont need stories of how Papa Jebadia and Ma Peggy Sue came from the old country legally (im sure they did), they came to land where the previous population were butchered and where they automatically had more rights than the negro.

The reality is simple, the old days are gone. Gone are the days when you could send mercenaries and armies around the world and steal and occupy innocent peoples lands, steal their resources, kill their people and only get benefits and sod the morality

The western nations with the Big pumba the USA leading the pack hadn't learnt this lesson until very recently that if you screw up a nation in one part of the world, it has consequences.

Countries like the U.S, UK, France have long had their noses 8n causing chaos across the world for their own benefit from supporting pliant dictators to waging illegal ill thought out wars.

The problem you have now is that you have caused chaos in places like iraq, syria, Libya and the consequences have been dire not just for the people of those countries but also your own.

The refugee crises, the increased radicalisation the revenge attacks

Its a cycle of violence that your own countries have contributed to but expect to avoid in your own countries

It dosent work like that

If innocent people can die in Iraq then they can die in france

P.S - you better hope Hillary gets to power, because Trump is a moron

...as my Pakistani friend types away from the safe confines of Britain. Some would say you're a hypocrite. And Killary, besides being one of the most corrupt figures in U.S. politics is no genius in her own right. Disaster as a Sec. of State. All politicans talk shit. They rarely deliver. But Killary isn't even putting good bullshits out there. At least Trump tells you what you want to hear.

 

[waz]

Stay on topic please folks. I'll delete off-topic posts from now.

 

[MarkusS]

if Hillary wins that is bad news for everyone btw who do you think behind the leaks ?


maybe too many targets watched it became beyond the capacity of the security

they should lock them up then.

You want him to leave evil colonial Britain and go back to Pakistan?Will never happen dude. He(like most hypocrites) will the stayin Britain and enjoy his life here while criticising how evil we are. That's what many Islamic sympathisers here do.
