Paris - terrorist attack

[Flashheart]

All religion is pretty cunty tbf, Islam certainly wins first prize though.

While Islam at present certainly appears to be the most dangerous, I find he bible to be worse than the Quran. Especially the Old Testament. Thankfully though, due to various reasons, Christians tend not to be quite so fundamental and are more prone to cherry-picking. Otherwise we'd have Xtians killing people for picking up sticks on a Sunday, among other things.

Lets face it gentlemen and ladies...

The World is in a right shambles at present and for the life of me I can't see a working solution to get it sorted.

Except for one and that's more damming than any one can imagine.

Whilst I'd go along with you on Old Testament law being harsh (by our modern-day standards), you obviously have no idea what a Christian is. A Christian is a follower of Christ.

I've not said any different, have I?

If all religion was banned then it would solve this problem, just like if football was banned there would be no hooliganism.

Of course not

Apparently an 'ambulance' has been found outside Hanover stadium full of explosives.

Match has been called off and stadium evacuated so seems genuine....

[Flashheart]

Worrying thing is that if it's a copy-cat of the Paris attack, there will almost certainly be more attacks planned in Hannover/Germany tonight..... there's a rather large game going on in London as well.

Just bought tickets for Man U v PSV next Wednesday. Wasn't really worried about it. Now the Hanover thing has seeds of doubt in my mind.

Tell me I'm being irrational FH.

That said, I suppose anything could happen anywhere if the terrorists have the means. We've already seen restaurants and theatres hit.

I'm going to the ATP Tennis at the O2 on Friday and I'd be lying if I said it hadn't crossed my mind.

An atrocity has only just happened. Everyone is hyper vigilant, there's mass security everywhere.

Hyper vigilance = more false positives! more scares.

People who commit these organised acts on a mass scale are many things but they aren't stupid. Why would they do it at the precise time everyone is expecting them to?

[Batch]

Thanks Ells Though in this case the Hanover threat looks genuine.

I guess all sporting events will be on high alert now, which is no bad thing.

[Flashheart]

They may not be stupid, be they are nuts. Nuts enough to die for their nutty cause, even. These nut-jobs may well see imposing terror as a success regardless of the number of casualties. They'll be 'Alluhu-akbharing' just at a game getting called off.

"apparently"
Any official conformation?

[Abrahammer]

This one clearly isn't a scare, seems very genuine
