I guess ISIS forgot to read a quote made by Rudyard Kipling regarding the French military:

~ "Their business is war, and they do their business."

Now they have to reap what they had sowed for the past two years.

G'day Mate

Sad day indeed, I am offering my condolence to all the victim, dead or wounded, their family and the people in France. Although I do not generally comment on topic outside military related topic, I just want to say to those people who blame France for the tragic incident that.

We live in a civil community, if a thief or burglar got into your house and steal your thing, it's within all the right to fight the burglar. But blaming French for this is like a French broke into your house in Melbourne and you retaliated by going all the way to France and kill that burglar's wife, parents and children. That is not a proper response no matter how one see it.

Anyone can blame France for what they do in the Middle East or Africa, that does not excuse the fact that what IS did here is not justified. As we do not live in a barbaric world.

That's very true.

There is NEVER any excuse for terrorism against innocent civilians. Since the innocent civilians had NOTHING to do with foreign policy decisions.

Every group on Earth has grievances, the Tutsis in Rwanda were almost exterminated, the Chinese were butchered by the Japanese, and we're talking about numbers in the millions. But that does NOT mean I should strap on a suicide vest and blow myself up in some random city like London/Paris/Toyko, because those innocent civilians had nothing to do with it.

Recently I read about how Japanese faced persecution in countries like Brazil but that didn't mean Japanese went around with suicide bombing, committing crimes against ethnic majority or playing victim card but they endured that period of time and continued their hard work. Look where Japanese are in today's Brazil and also look where Japan and Brazil are in terms economic might, influence, standards of living etc. It holds testimony to the notion that hard work can turn around reality. The same echoes with Chinese in the USA, Indians in Africa etc. These communities faced heavy persecution at early stages of their existence and they didn't have leftists or human rights advocates to speak in favour of them unlike in the modern world. But think about what would have happened if such communities found faith in violence and victim complexity? Even today they will have the same miserable conditions. Violence and heavy victim complexity will only isolate a particular community even further.

Multiple anti-terrorism raids have taken place across France tonight.

At least 3 people have been arrested in Toulouse, and weapons possibly seized.

Further arrests have been made in Grenoble.

A building in Jeumont has been searched, as well in the Paris suburb of Bobigny.

I appeal to all of mankind , don't consider these ISIS dogs as humans belonging to any religion .
Let's join hands together to stop them &their masters who ever they are , & protest against them ?

The defeatist idiots here are morons, France went into foreign nation to kill Sunni Muslims and declared war on ISIS. ISIS hit back, it's not our problem, it's decision French made which they are responsible for. It's very simple equation= Don't send your army to country thousands of kms away without expecting repercussion.

That applies both ways, and so the killing goes on and on and on. Note that all wanted persons resided in Molenbeek Belgium and/or were born there.

I guess ISIS forgot to read a quote made by Rudyard Kipling regarding the French military:

~ "Their business is war, and they do their business."

Now they have to reap what they had sowed for the past two years.

Someone posted this nice comment on the NYT,and it's worth the reading i think.

I wont lie, having grown up in France during my childhood, i must confess French people have the best way of living life of any country i have been to in the world(maybe only the Italians come close) and they have a very good taste of quality as well: be it food, drnink, perfume, dressing, decorations etc, as i often say: le savoir-vivre français est un chef-d’œuvre. So Its only normal that islamic radicals/extremists have a totally different view from the French of how life should be (just wonder why so many of them flee their country and still choose to immigrate and enjoy their life in France though.lol )

I must confess even we british can indeed learn alot from our french brothers in this field.

Turkey warned France over Paris attacker: Turkish official

Turkey warned France almost a year ago over a suspected Islamic State (IS) militant who blew himself up in the bloody Paris attacks but the French authorities did not respond, a senior Turkish official said on Monday (Nov 16).

Turkish police "notified their French counterparts twice - in December 2014 and June 2015" about Omar Ismail Mostefai, the official told AFP, asking not to be named. "We did, however, not hear back from France on the matter," added the official.

Identified by his finger, which was found among the rubble of the Bataclan concert hall, the 29-year-old Mostefai was one of three attackers, all wearing suicide vests, at the venue where 89 people were killed in the bloodiest scene of the carnage.

Born on November 21 1985, in the poor Paris suburb of Courcouronnes, Mostefai's criminal record shows eight convictions for petty crimes between 2004 and 2010, but no jail time. The Turkish official confirmed that Mostefai entered Turkey from the northwestern province of Edirne that borders EU members Greece and Bulgaria in 2013.

"There is no record of him leaving the country," said the Turkish official. The official said that French authorities had only showed interest in Mostefai after the attacks.

"It was only after the Paris attacks that the Turkish authorities received an information request about Omar Ismail Mostefai from France."

He said that on October 10, 2014, Turkey received an information request regarding four terror suspects from the French authorities, but not for Mostefai even though he had been identified by Turkey as a potential terror suspect.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been affected by this horrendous act of terror. We send our heartfelt condolences to the victims’ families and pray that they find the strength to deal with this tragedy. The leaders from across the world have denounced the attack and asked for solidarity and unity against terrorism. The U.S. and Pakistan have also condemned the attack, and both nations fully understand the pain associated with losing innocent lives due to the acts of terror.

President Obama said: "Once again we've seen an outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians. This is an attack not just on Paris, it's an attack not just on the people of France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values that we share."

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said: “Pakistan stands firmly behind the people and Government of France in this hour and extends its support to bring the perpetrators to justice.”

4-5 arrests have been made today in Belgium. Apparently the district of Molenbeek is a major hotspot for jihadist activity.

....What all articles fail to mention is that there used to be a thriving Jewish commumnity in Molenbeek. There is now a huge Muslim population
.
In 2008, the Flemish magazine Dag Allemaal reported the 'youths' in Molenbeek shouted in the streets "The Jews are our worst enemies". Jews owned shops for many years along the Prado Street and Chaussée de Gand. But, with the exception of a furniture store, by 2008, they had all vanished. And nobody cared.

The author of the article was turned down when he tried to interview the former Molenbeek Jewish merchants. They feared reprisals. One, René (not his real name) agreed to speak on condition that no pictures were taken and that he could not be identified.
In 2008, René closed his hair salon at Chaussée de Gand. There were a string of violent incidents. It started with "dirty kike" and other anti-Semitic graffiti on the facade. The worst are the 'youths' between 12 and 20 years. They shout in the streets that Jews are their worst enemies.

The campaign of hatred and intimidation waged against René culminated in a raid. Six 'youths' stormed into the salon shouting "dirty kike", breaking his equipment and punching him on the face.

After they left, René called the police. An hour later the 'youths' came back to "punish" him and smashed all the mirrors. In 35 years of hard work René had build up a loyal client base, but understandably customers were frightened by the violence and stopped coming. René had no choice but to wind down the business.

To add insult to injury former Molenbeek mayor, Philippe Moureaux (Socialist francophone), complained in 2009, that Belgian Jews "deny Muslims right to diversity".(Note: "Diversity" in this sense means "multiculturalism".)

We know that the hate that begins with Jews never ends with Jews.

...Sound familiar? Muslim terrorists in training harass the Jews, and the authorities and police do nothing because, well, they are only Jews, and they sort of deserve it, because they own the media or because of "occupation" or they are socialists or they are capitalists or they complain too much when they are attacked or because they aren't nice enough to the people who are threatening them.

So the Jews finally leave, and the Muslim thugs need a new target for their hate - I'm sorry, they need a new creative outlet to direct their energies towards.

It always starts with the Jews. The people behind the assassination of Meir Kahane in 1990 were also involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, a link that could have saved lives had investigators had been more energetic in tracking down the leads.

So suddenly Molenbeek is in the headlines. If it would have been in the headlines in 2008 then perhaps the Paris attacks would not have been possible.

Those who believe that they are safe because the terrorists are only targeting Jews get reminded every once in a while that Jews are just the canary in the coal mine.

Here's one of the most honest articles I've seen out of Western media and it happens to be from Huffington Post which is quite a liberal website. Read the comments, it clearly shows the ugly face of what he addresses:

Never mind the recent Charleston shooting, where a white man killed nine black people in a predominantly black church. That was not "terrorism." That was just violence carried out by a "crazy white dude." This "crazy white dude" is not a terrorist. Because he is white. White people do not commit terrorism. Only brown people can do that. And brown Muslims at that.

Let us have an honest discussion for once. When people die in Paris, the media calls it "horrific." When hundreds of Syrians die on any given day, the media hardly flinches. Events in Syria do not get labeled "horrific." That is because Syrians dying is considered "normal," their deaths simply pass us by. No big deal.

So this goat faced coward has been named the mastermind behind the Paris attacks, the Belgian born Abdelhamid Abaaoud. He's in Syria, and hopefully meets the reaper soon.
