New terror attack france many dead

Well, it isn't that incredible.

If that is hard to believe then take Brevik instead.

Yep but some are, until we all admit there are a mixture of factors with many valid points on both sides we can never solve this crisis!

In a terrible way Breivik's manifesto about Europe's problems with Islamic extremism will continue to uphold the supposed 'justification' of his actions.

"The time for dialogue is over. We gave peace a chance. The time for armed resistance has come."*

I fear such retaliatory attacks are likely to occur in the near future. A civil war is brewing.

I still think staining all migrants with the same brush is wrong and feeds feelings of xenophobia.

This crisis is directly as a result of Western inaction in Syria.

If the West had done what was correct, which was to intervene in Syria and remove Assad 5 years ago, then there wouldn't be a migrant crisis and the terrorism threat wouldn't be as great.

The greatest criticism (and for some, justification for the war on the west) of the west is the Iraq war and all of its consequences. If people complain so much about us trying to intervene (for what COULD have been a legitimate threat), it's unsurprising that we don't act when they need us.

You obviously aren't listening, no surprise as you can't admit they are part of the problem. I never said all, you are very infuriating, like talking to a brick wall.

Fox News are still insisting that there is some kind of hostage situation somewhere.

Who said "all migrants"?

Apologies for that, haven't meant to come across as though I can't see both sides to this debate

Link doesn't work for me.

They should have never intervened in Iraq. It was obviously based on a load of nonsense.

However, Syria is clearly in need of intervention.

People have the audacity to complain about the situation in Libya, but Libya would be just as bad as Syria with more migrants streaming across the sea if it was not for Western intervention.

The key is that people need to be ready for intervention. The situation needs to be bad enough. That time came and passed a long time ago for Syria. That wasn't the case in Iraq.

We have such a good track record of removing dictators and instilling stability in the middle east, don't we? That really is an over-simplification of what was a very complicated situation in Syria. Removing Assad would have arguably caused greater levels of turmoil in the region, not the opposite.

And hindsight is a beautiful thing

I always hate social media's response to these things.

'Pray for *insert country here* '

doesn't change anything :/ mind you i havent got a better plan.

Tbh im just overly cyncical, sad event but although i feel evil saying it can guarantee in a few weeks people will have moved on and then another one will happen and nothing will change.

I personally think blaming migrants for terrorism (in this instance) is giving exactly what those who may have perpetrated the attacks want - which is division.
