The IRA were so small compared to this CLKD.

CLKD the current death toll from the Paris massacre is 129.
What the IRA did was awful but it wasn't at that scale.

And it's affecting the whole of Europe.

Not that I am defending the IRA, but they did give warnings and were quite clear who they were after (generally)
ISIS are coming after everyone that's not a Muslim.

Honeybun, IS have murdered Muslims too.  Many Muslims are horrified by what they are doing, and extremists will murder anyone who stands in their way, regardless of religion.  As someone said yesterday, "Terrorism has no religion".

They had no way of knowing which nationality or religion they were targeting on Friday night. Indiscriminate killing. I still can't quite get over the feelings of sadness.

Sorry yes they have killed other Muslims too but I still think that it's the non Muslims that are the true targets.
The Muslims that would be at a concert would not be true Muslims in their eyes perhaps.
Very sad situation.

I wonder how many have come in with the refugees....it makes my blood run cold to think this will probably happen again.

Hubby was saying one was a refugee. Scary thought, considering how many are crossing borders & being given emergency refugee accommodation. Using hotels to put them up.

Some Passports found on the bombers may have been stolen.  Also the French Police 'knew' of a couple, one was 'on bail' after being questioned regarding terrorism links.  This is the 3rd time that bombers have been 'known' so why not have a large ship in the Ocean, carry any suspects by helicopter, hover above and land them on board  :-\.  So that they are kept together …… same for the migrants, requisition cruise ships and keep them in a safe place - there will be food, water, electricity, entertainment; time to process people who really are in trouble and the opportunity to ship out those who aren't!

We were travelling at 10.55 and there was a piece of music (out of Africa I think  :-\) then 1 mins. silence. I wish we had guidance on what to do when travelling i.e. putting hazard lights on as it wasn't possible to pull over.

An atrocity is that, how ever many people involved.

In the middle of all this horror, something rather lovely cheered me up this afternoon: I was driving along the seafront, going to my afternoon's teaching.  It had been raining and although it had stopped for a bit, there were still heavy clouds around.   Then the sun came out and a rainbow began to be visible, over the water.  It got steadily brighter until it almost looked like a painting.  Both ends could be seen and they were reflecting brightly and beautifully on to the water.  Well, honestly, this really lifted my despondency and despair for a while and made me think, Hope.  Sounds silly, I know, but it made me look beyond last Friday's atrocities for the rest of the journey.

I also hope the match tonight goes ahead safely.  Armed police and SAS will be there so there's no more anybody can do.
