Ho-hum.Another day.Another Muslim Massacre.

If you really want to read some moronic gems check out this topic on the current events board. Trump, Clinton, Bush, Obama nobody could have prevented this. Another sad day in France.So if Donald Trump were president, he would have prevented this incident from occurring in France, because... he would have tortured somebody?
Exactly. They have lost the support of the moderate Muslims of the Middle East. Without funding and bodies, their cause will wither.While this is cold comfort to those in Nice, the fact is that ISIS is losing. Killing people is not their objective, it is a means to a larger dream, which is the restoration of the caliphate. However, they continue to lose territory in both Iraq and Syria, and their dream is getting dimmer by the day. Murder of infidels is pretty much all they have left.
As I mentioned, cold comfort.
Yeah I read earlier that they're becoming more desperate in these attacks the weaker they get. Expect more in their dying days.While this is cold comfort to those in Nice, the fact is that ISIS is losing.

Good point. I live about an hour from the largest population of Muslims in the country (Dearborn, MI) and this is not an issue anyone worries about or that has happened in this area.One of the biggest reasons why France is very vulnerable to home grown terrors like this is their long failure to assimilate their large number of North African immigrant population both socially and economically, their heavy handed policies and racial profiling towards Muslims in recent years in response to terror has actually driven more of their own citizens towards extreme ideologies and into the arms of groups like ISIS. This is a good real time lesson for us, we have done a much better job of assimilating our Muslim population and treated them with fairness (relatively) despite Islamic terrorism, that needs to continue because we need them on our side to effectively prevent and combat Islamic terrorism.
The statistics overwhelmingly support this... Average income for someone of Middle Eastern descent in France is a significant percentage lower than the average citizen's income. In the US, the average income for Middle Easterners is HIGHER than the average income for the general public.One of the biggest reasons why France is very vulnerable to home grown terrors like this is their long failure to assimilate their large number of North African immigrant population both socially and economically, their heavy handed policies and racial profiling towards Muslims in recent years in response to terror has actually driven more of their own citizens towards extreme ideologies and into the arms of groups like ISIS.

A great many Middle Easterners in the states become doctors, engineers or other professionals and lead fulfilling lives. It is a testament to our general disposition to tolerate and willingness to assimilate/accept people's from all backgrounds.
In France the immigrant population lives much more on the fringe of society, and is denied access professionally and culturally. This has been recognized as a problem going back for well over a decade. (There are even several mainstream French movies addressing it. La Haine is a great example and was from the 90s.) Their current issues with homegrown terror have been brewing for a very long time.

It's hard to fathom what would cause someone to do this to innocent people.

So Muslims are desperately pouring into a country that treats them as 2nd class citizens? And this makes them more susceptible to recruitment by jihadists? Tell us why no other population of poor people make similar choices? IMHO this is a poor misguided explanation. I think it's difficult for a post Christian American to understand the motivations of a religious Muslim. In my opinion some fraction of Muslims will always be susceptible to supporting jihad no matter what their life or economic circumstances.One of the biggest reasons why France is very vulnerable to home grown terrors like this is their long failure to assimilate their large number of North African immigrant population both socially and economically, their heavy handed policies and racial profiling towards Muslims in recent years in response to terror has actually driven more of their own citizens towards extreme ideologies and into the arms of groups like ISIS.

I wonder what type of response you would receive from your peaceful Muslim neighbors if you posted a picture mocking their false prophet Muhammed on your front lawn.

Thanks.
but isn't there a difference between a person from the Middle East who chooses to come here for work or education and thousands of migrants fleeing right now? Isn't it also a choice for the Muslim populations not to assimilate into the European culture? I think the problem is a lot more complex than people want to make it.The statistics overwhelmingly support this... Average income for someone of Middle Eastern descent in France is a significant percentage lower than the average citizen's income.

And this is the problem. These folks view these actions as defendable. In fact it is commendable to a plauralityof their faith.The truth is that there's no defense against something incomprehensible like this....driving a truck on an esplanade with no regard for human life? It's just unbelievable. Even al qaeda would have more pride than this common, banal butchery.
Ignore NewJerseyGuy. He's a lunatic who believes that Walt Disney was Satan made flesh who put secret codes in his movies.
Darkness hates the light, huh?
I bet you make your father proud.
However I am glad you are still bothered (convicted) by that video about Disney. That is a good sign.
Look, we are all born sinners, deserving of God's wrath. I recommend you repent of your beloved sins and put your faith in Jesus to save you from God's wrath and from an eternity in Hell while His offer is still on the table.
Thanks for reading.
Unfortunately this sort of thing is far from unbelievable (or unprecedented). And per this article you give AQ too much credit .The truth is that there's no defense against something incomprehensible like this....driving a truck on an esplanade with no regard for human life? It's just unbelievable. Even al qaeda would have more pride than this common, banal butchery.
Poverty and lack of education?
Certainly not ISLAM - the religion of peace.
I understand the point you're trying to make, but factually speaking, no they wouldn't.Even al qaeda would have more pride than this common, banal butchery.
