If they wanted to be busted why would they wear balaclavas? What are the odds ALL of them forgot their IDs?
IIRC the majority of the 9/11 terrorists was identified via IDs and other personal belongings left behind in the rental cars they parked at Boston International Airport on the morning of the attacks.It reminds me of how after the real 9/11 they found the terrorists passports in the rubble that somehow survived the explosion THEN one of them came forward and was ALIVE and could prove he was no was in another country. The official report was left unaltered. The same report that doesnt even mention "building 7", which collapsed, like the main 2, at free-fall speed and wasn't even hit by a plane.
Well, according to all the (including eye/listening witness) reports that I have read, they actually DID yell 'Allahu akbar' repeatedly so I'm really curious where this wild rumor is coming from that they only spoke in French?What would it prove? If you're really that hardcore islamic you speak in arabic! You talk to god in his language! These are acts you do for GOD, not for the french public.
I'm not sure what you're on about with the "asking names" thing? What credible source is there for that?Because you get more points with god for taking out more infidels. Why let any live? Why waste time asking peoples names when you could just kill them all and escape sooner. Why not martyr yourself with a suicide bomb, even. It's just too orderly. If they were dumb enough to ALL leave their ID cards in the get away car I doubt they'd go to the effort of working out who lives and dies.
Yep. It makes a mess if the projectile exits the body. It does not every time. From the angle shown here, it looks like the perp shot the cop in the back of the skull or into the neck from above. Once the projectile hits bone structure, it is anyone's guess what will happen next as the projectile is usually diverted or splits up into shrapnel within the body.Well, this video I just found shows the raw footage I saw earlier with some comments that I agree with.

I'm sure you can find some other videos of people being shot in the head if you need to see what it really does. It makes a bloody mess.
Look, I'm (sometimes) all for conspiracy theories and asking valid questions but in this case, I really don't see any red flags or false flags or whatever.What are you speechless about? Did you read Ron Pauls article? (he ran for president in USA)
Islam is a big problem. It is useless to deny it. It is a big problem as believers in Islam or those who are loosely connected to it, what they call cultural muslims or those who have relatives(living or deceased a long time) keep being involving in situations that expose society for what it is.Excellent advice, indeed do read the quran (not just bits and pieces taken out of context in similar way bits and pieces can be extracted from the bible or torah) or appropriate translation.
This has nothing to do with Islam, and everything to do with the corrupt culture/governments in the countries these idiots come, or get their teachings from. Saudi Arabia…
He it is who hath sent down to thee "the Book." Some of its signs are of themselves perspicuous; these are the basis of the Book and others are figurative. But they whose hearts are given to err, follow its figures, craving discord, craving an interpretation; yet none knoweth its interpretation but God…
The great irony, the Qur'an is actually more progressive than the bible, especially in the way it deals with women!
You really want to go there? Christianity has as much -if not more- blood on its hands as Islam. Read the so called "Old Testament" (a term disrespectful of Judaism). The commands to rape, pillage, and commit genocide go on forever.
Islam and the Koran allows for interpretations in very much the same way as Christianity & the Bible. It was due to this that Bagdad could become such an important center of learning during the earlier parts of the middle ages, and it was due to this that Iran, before the CIA coup was at the same level as most western countries. And is also due to this that people can commit such heinous crimes as IS (and to quote an imam who was talking about IS on local news "If Mohammed was re-born today, he would have been executed for heresy by IS").@Charlemagne
This isn't about who committed the greater atrocities in history, but whether Islam can become like other religions.
My primary argument against that is Islam does not permit figurative interpretation — that is what everyone keeps hoping Muslims will do, but both the Koran and Muhammad clearly warned against it — and there is no higher authority in Islam than those two sources.
What I am is an historian (in the literal sense) who's actually -to some extant- studied the history, culture, as well as the religious and academic text of the peoples under discussion. In other words, unlike you, I actually know what I'm talking about. And yes, the Qur'an does indeed have a book entitled "Women", which prescribes much more respectful, and humane treatment than the other Abrahamic religions. Do a majority of Muslim countries follow these dictates? Hell no, quite the opposite.
The very harsh treatment of women that we see in several Islamic countries today comes from the re-interpretation of the Koran by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab.
And yes, the Qur'an does indeed have a book entitled "Women", which prescribes much more respectful, and humane treatment than the other Abrahamic religions.
Do a majority of Muslim countries follow these dictates? Hell no, quite the opposite.
As for defending Islam, might I suggest that you actually attend one of those universities you find so threatening? Your reading comprehension is severely lacking. I'll type it slowly, I AM AN ATHEIST. With the possible exception of Buddhism, which is more philosophy than religion, you wont catch me defending the tenets of any superstition. As far as I'm concerned, all three Abrahamic religions are backward and savage. All three have a tremendous amount of blood on their hands, both past and present.
No one ranting against the gheys, or women being treated as equals, quote the "new" testament.
Who do you think created the modern boundaries of these countries, purposely putting opposing groups against one another in order to insure instability? Who do you think invaded Iraq under false pretenses, all the while vomiting out religious platitudes and willfully ignoring the people who actually study the region, and told them -correctly it turns out- exactly what would happen if the did so? Who do you think paid the ransoms of idiots who willingly went into unstable war zones and got themselves captured, effectively funding groups like IS.. whatever the hell they're called? The governments who paid these ransoms are complicit in the deaths of thousands of innocents in the region. Men, women, and children, killed with guns and ammunition they paid for.
What message does this send to the people of the region? One of our lives is worth a thousand of yours? An ass backwards approach in the endeavor to win over hearts and minds.
Our governments have been trashing, and destabilizing the region for decades, all for our own means and ends, and not the betterment of its people. Yes, we did have a rather large hand in creating the environment that allowed this madness to take root, and we have a responsibility to help find a solution. If not for their sake, then for our own. The only one displaying complete and absolute ignorance of what goes on in the world, and more importantly, what caused it, is you.
Speaking of history, it was in part due to people bringing home ideas from the holy land after the crusades that women started to get a say in Europe..
Yes it is all our fault. We deserve to receive millions of muslim immigrants, give them homes and welfare cheques, tolerate them raping women with miniskirts and murdering cartoonists who draw mohammed(praise be upon him). Allahu akbar. Shariah law can't come soon enough.
Regardless, you win, I'm done. No point in my continuing the attempt to join the argument you're having with your straw friend. When you and your friend come up with an idea of how we can effectively fight the extremist, give me ring. If nothing else, it should be good for the luls.
Going back to topic, and not much familiar with history, but why do france have many north african immigrants (e.g. algerians)?
