          I didn't mean just Paris, I meant all the other countries such as Lebanon, Iraq and Palestine. Which all happened in the last 48 hours.. so no need to be a tool and ask me to define constantly.

      It won't stop, the Western world declared war in Islamic countries. What may seem terrifying to us, its a normal day back in Iraq.

      We can the good old USA for breeding terroists.

        Well actually the opposite happened. Islam declared war on the West (and the rest of the world) the moment it was fabricated by Muhummad. Islamofascists will not stop until everyone has been forced to convert to the "religion of peace" and a global caliphate established. Westerners have had to repel Muslim aggression before, repeatedly, during the Middle Ages. Look up Reconquista, for instance.

        Caliphate: Imagine ISIS on a global scale.

        • Its well rumored that ISIS is funded by Western and Gulf states, isn't it interesting that France suddenly knows where to drop bombs? Why not do it before the attacks?

        • Weird… I notify people that food is halal and get banned, your comment though! People are liking it! Go figure!

    Thoughts and prayers to the people of France.

  • Since 'hangouts' in mentioned in the title, people will probably come here that use it… Is there an app that is common to both 'i' and android?

      It's on iOS too. Link is in the description.

      • LOL. Thanks - I completely missed that, because i thought apple had their own version… facetime, is it - because it was mentioned in another recent thread on which phone OS to go with.

    My heart goes out to all of those who have family & friends in France at the moment. Thankfully it seems, my own relatives are safe and sound.

    • I don't think the situations are comparable in any way.

        Some people try to achieve a goal by killing innocent people. No matter what the goal is, they are terrorists. Don't you see? There are no cries of desperation, they are all terrorists.

        • Why did you link to that CNN article then that tries to re-define something that the Chinese called a terrorist act and that fits your description?

        • @team teri:
          Here is the logic:
          IS killed 129 innocent people in Paris and it is defined as terrorism. This is well known and widely broadcasted all over the world.
          156 innocent people were killed in urumqi in 2009 and 29 innocent people were killed in Kunming in 2014. All these are defined as "cry of desperation". Very rare people know about what happened.

          All of these are the same: Some people try to achieve a goal by killing innocent people. They are all terrorism. All of these fit my description.
