Description
I don't think the people conducting these attacks quite understand: on an individual level, for those directly caught up in the event, terrorism is as harrowing and tragic an experience as any other act of aggression, but collectively, no one here gives a sh*t. Why? Because Europe was the birthplace of Industrial Warfare. Random killings don’t achieve anything. Small minded fools with delusions of grandeur who think killing a few civilians and then dying themselves will somehow benefit their cause are just seen as an irritation.Take the 2005 bombings in London, for example. More people were pissed off because the Tube was shut down rather than because an act of terror had just happened in the capital.
Picking up a gun and shooting lots of unarmed people before you yourself are taken down doesn't make you special. Anyone can do it and at the end of it, you’re dead, so the problem has essentially solved itself. The infrastructure you’re blaming for all the evils in the world is still fully functional because it’s never military or industrial targets that are attacked. It’s not “warfare”, it’s just random violence, and that’s easy for a nation to shrug off.

I guess that makes sense, actually....

I am a French citizen myself and I am completely agreed with your analyse
I really, really don't care about this terrorist attack, but I am deeply annoyed about what might happen next, an anti-terrorism law that will probably restrict (again) our individual liberty

You once said, unless my memory's gone even more shit than usual, that we shouldn't worry, you weren't becoming a political cartoonist. And yet you have--and frankly, I think it's great. Your cartoons are substantially more insightful, and less hamfisted than many American political cartoonists. Much as I enjoy seeing Chloe and your Apsara Collection stuff (and I do, to the point of buying), I'm coming to like these every bit as much.

To complete the analogy, that French poodle should get some flea removal pronto, and remove every mangy flea from its body. It'll be far happier after that, and so will the people living with him.

I can't believe those terrorists killed over hundred people. God bless the victims and their families in Paris, France. Terrorists don't belong on this planet.

I like your intellectual response to this tragic event; terrorism has always been about the shock-factor placed upon the civilized world. Nonetheless, terrorists are truly horrific people to act so barbaric for their own personal agenda.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Exactly.
They killed a little over a hundred people and injured a few hundred more; tragic to those directly effected, but the smallest blip on the graph at the end of the day.
As for everyone else? Ooooooooo, congrats, you made it a fraction of a fraction more annoying for them to go about their business.
France's ability/willingness to do battle with you: Worse then unaffected - Strengthened!

I don't recall anything in the Quran mentioning Muhammad brandishing an assault rifle shooting unarmed civilians in cold blood. Maybe it's in the new version edited and published by ISIS.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Paris.

As offensive as that sounds, not that I'm offended mind you, that image is pretty f****ing metal.Just like Jesus powerbombing Satan.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
What I consider offensive is bastards like ISIS killing people because they think it's part of their religion.
Also your imagine sounds more awesome!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
If you think *that''s* offensive, keep in mind that the monster named Mohammed killed over a hundred people himself, and took a nine year old (among others) as a wife.
7th century Arabic pedophile warlord that came to power by begging for mercy from those he met before he had an army, and then murdering his way *to* power once he did amass said army. And of course, in the wake of his death, there was an immediate civil war over the power vacuum.
Islam has easily been the vilest of the three Abrahamic religions since day one, even if Christianity and Judaism aren't spotless.

You should take a look to the Talmud then, the most violent passage of the Koran are stories for children in comparison,
I dread to think what might have been the world if at that time the Jewish people had the same millitary power as the old Muslim empire, the world would have been very different.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dread? Can you imagine the innovation of Israelis all over the Middle East instead of one small splotch on the eastern Mediterranean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What innovations? Israel was most of its history a province under foreign control,
I see the influence and innovations made by the other great empire of the area (Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Macedonian...) but that all.
But I also know that at this time, the religious texts had an more "raw" interpretation, that why I say that if the Israeli people had the military power of the old Muslim empire at the old time, the world would have been very different, since in the Talmud, the thing is simple, if you're not Jewish, you're not human, you're a beast, a beast that may be stolen, killed, fooled, manipulated, if this serves the interests of the Israeli people, the Talmud allows this, even the Koran does not go that far.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean consider how many innovations modern-day Israel creates. Imagine instead of just one little splotch of land, it had all the Middle East to spread out in. That said, I don't think any Jew subscribes to that radical interpretation. Radical Muslims on the other hand? Hoo boy.

The Talmud further encourages cunning and manipulation to achieve its purpose, rather than direct violence, in the US you have the AIPAC, in France we have the CRIF.
2 institutions that uses the power of money to influence our policy in Israel's interest and I have a big problem with that, I'm sure you know how to call a politician supporting a foreign country to the detriment of his own people ... a traitor.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are plenty of institutions that try and influence policy. Also, it's not a zero-sum game. In a lot of cases, what's good for Israel is good for France. God knows that your two nations need to cooperate more than ever now.

No, clearly no, Israel supports the destabilization of the region by providing a logistical and medical support to at least Al-Nosra (al-qaida) in Syria www.timesofisrael.com/un-israe…
report of the UN which only confirms the comments of sheikh nabeel naimm (a former member of al-qaida) made the last years and which already revealed the Israeli and American support for the destabilization of the region by using terrorist groups. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yLP9f…
Same for France,
we recently learned that our government has armed rebel groups in complete violation of the European embargo on Syria.
That is why I believe that ISIS is not the origin of evil, it is the symptom, the direct consequence of the foreign policy of Western governments.

Oh thank GOODNESS.
There are reasons why I love dA so much.....
Don't go to YouTube, all they do is talk crap about Muslims being terrorists.....It's not even offensive anymore, it's gotten to the point where the comments are just plain stupid.....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm just saying what's right. There are plenty of Christian groups in the US and out there that have a lot in common with ISIS; they're both a bunch of inbred fanatics whose ego and lack of brain-cells insults the religion they practice and believe strength is measured by how many bullets and bombs they have.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I totally agree. It's especially pathetic considering it usually had the effect of strengthening that countries resolve against the offending group. Did they think France would now think twice about sending air strikes to Syria? No, if anything France will now see dealing with Islamic State as a higher priority.
If you can't mount an attack large enough to do significant damage to your opponent's ability to fight you, then attacking anyway is just screwing yourself long term.

Follow by all it takes is getting some good old flea meds to take care of it. But ya.. I totally agree seriously most of them are delusional as fuck thinking they'll do for a greater cause and be welcomed by 70 something virgins.

I want to know something, when did France started to be the central target of these parasites that should be terminated? And why governements only send "Hope you get better soon" when they should be acting? They know who are doing all of this shit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
The real reason France is a target of ISIS is because they are a part of the coalition that is bombing Syria, which is where ISIS is based. Also, supposedly France killed a major ISIS leader during one of those attacks.

If they are bombing that area, they aren't doing a great job.

Hard to know what government is doing, really.

Yeah, I don't any information appearing about that, but they should use more powerful bombs or even form another alliance, this is WW2 all over again, this time, Russia should give it's soldiers (and by what usually happens at Russia's transit, they will be the most powerful thing ever), USA should give it's weapons and military vehicles (principally tanks, because none M1 Abrams are almost indestructible, some can be hit by missiles and won't even be scratched) and the rest of the European countries should give resources and other things, and UN should liberated the use of some weaponry banned by them (Didn't find a trustful or clear list, but you can some of them in Wikipedia).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Maybe, but it's not just weapons; half this war is purely psychological (hence the terror) and the rest is muddled with political interest.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If it's a psychological and political war, what are our weapons, because they have recruiting videos, if I am correct, that's why they can't just nuke all of them directly to hell, UN condemns the killing of civilians, the majority of the ISIS' soldiers and people are non-Mediterranean civilians that joined them because of those videos.

France is a breeding ground for terrorists because it hates it's own muslims unabashedly.

That's not a particularly bad idea. Every nation should start doing the same.

Oh, so that's why it was been turned into those pesky parasites main target.

Maybe because they have been abusive shits for several years now? You kind of start to hate a culture ..only religion in the world that says it is ok to lie to the unbeliever and that it says is wise to kill the unbeliever by the way... When they are being largely a bunch of anti-Whatever-country-they-are-in and refuse to become part of it but fight against it.

It still stands that Islam is the only major religion (not counting small tribal obscure ones) that at its core says that anyone not their religion is lesser than them and deserves to be lied to, cheated and swindled.
The ONLY one. Everyone else if they paid attention to their damn books would realized they are suppose to treat each other kindly, Islam? nope.

I'm sure somewhere in the bible you can find something like that, too.

Actually no. The New Law, the one Christ gave when he was on the earth did away with all old laws and replaced them with "love thy neighbor as thyself" and other things such as helping those in need, not mistreating fellow children of God for skin, Race, or Creed and that Charity and Service are some of the highest acts that can be done to any in need.
