ISIS attacks in Paris - Are we safe anymore?

[p4nix]

The causes why people get terrorists are mainly known.

In your opinion, terrorism attacks are always everyone else's fault?

Nope! Of course, the main fault is the terrorists fault - but you don't get from one day to the other to killing people, do you?

Oftopic, but the friday after the shootings, someone was launching fireworks at 3:00AM

I seriously hope it was not in response to the shooting. SOmetimes, I lose faith in humanity and it's almost like if we already live in a dystopia where all hell can break loose and where people are just gone mad (just see Black Friday frenzy ).

Well, to tell more of the story, i had a buddy at school who planned to launch fireworks that friday / weekend, but when i asked him later about it he said he said that he "saw the news and was like "yea i better post pone this :3 "".

Also there is no effective way to fight terrorism (or homocide, for that matter) becouse you cant realy predict who has a gun and yea...
Also i probably have a higher risk of dieng from a crash tomorrow then i had of dieng in paris during the attack.

That's unless ISIS has more members than we think and actually decides to pull a First Fantasy II tomorrow where they basically murder the entire population of the United States and the rest of the world overnight, then get hit by nukes by survivors

But that is unlikely for now.

Depends. Wasn't there some derivatives from Christianity that advocated discrimination against certain groups of people, like Westboro Baptist Church?

That's actually a church, not a denomination, so they're very small and fringy. Over-publicized though. And I don't think there are any other christian groups that promote any sort of discrimination.

Not entirely true. Every religion has its radical groupings; some are just more prominent than others.
Some cursory research shows that there was a militant christian group fairly recently in the CAR, destroying every mosque it could get its hands on.
The LRA, over in Uganda, classifies itself as christian as well. The ones known for using child soldiers, massacres, widespread rape, among a host of other things.
Not to mention that it's not that long ago that there was major cross-denominational violence up in northern ireland.

So, yeah. You see intolerance and fanaticism everywhere, tbh.

Ugh, another mass shooting, this time in Orlando in a gay club. 53 dead and 53 injured. According to TVA news it's a terrorist attack and the killer might be an Islamic State follower. :/

[Jokeriske]

what about the terrorist attack in shanghai airport?

[Dream of Omnimaga]

I did not hear about it in the newa yet. Did it happen today too? That makes me not feel as safe around large crowds. Ideally when I attend a concert at a venue I first check around me if there is a good place where to hide or exit, in case I would need to. It could happen to us too in Quebec.

Its confirmed its IS' doing :/

At first I thought this was some anti LGBT extremist due to who were victim of it, but then I discovered it was ISIS. Also yesterday night I first read about a shooting in that bar and it seemed like only a few died. I was already shocked by the incident. But then I was at loss of words.

Also before people spits on the 2nd amendment (not that I am really pro-gun but guns don't kill people if owners use common sense), this is ISIS we are talking about here. Even if all firearms were illegal the terrorist group would have smuggled them through the border or using other means.

[JosJuice]

ISIS? I haven't heard anything about them being behind the attack in Orlando...

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Local news said the guy was very into Islamic State and was a fan of them.

Well, if he was only a fan of them and not sent by them, he probably bought his stuff himself so more regulation could have helped. Though with enough determination, he would probably have managed to get what he wanted anyway.
