Another Attack In Paris, Louvre.

[Khandro]

Unless action is taken, everyone continues to be sitting targets. More votes for Marine le Pen?

'Unless action is taken'

What do you propose Khandro?

Sounds as if the threat in this case was quickly neutralised.

You can only try to prevent attacks with strong intelligence beforehand. Even then if it is a suicide bomber....

//Sounds as if the threat in this case was quickly neutralised.//
One soldier has serious head injuries. OK well he didn't (as yet) die, so that's taken care of.
I propose that any attack on innocent people in the name of 'allah' be countered with sanctions, such as the closure of a main mosque for 6 months, any futher attacks during that period and the mosque would be demolished.
It is encumbent on the main body of Muslims to stop being mealy-mouthed and put a stop to it. Violence is being fuelled by hate preachers, the State must have a say in who can hold office, not foreign countries.

Is that the best you can come up with? Seriously?

Still, thanks for answering.

Even Trump hasn't come up with that one ;-)

Not a very 'intelligent' idea. If I was a French security bod mosques would be one of the obvious places to do surveillance. Lose them and you cause a huge problem. A nice example of politics and practical security considerations colliding

See my thread on Finsbury Park.

One mosque that is working well for the community by all accounts?

[Khandro]

//One mosque that is working well for the community by all accounts?//

Yes, because it was closed down and they got the message.

[anotheoldgit]

Perhaps France should take a leaf out of Trump's 'sensible book of ideas' and stop importing people from certain countries?

[youngmafbog]

Probably best to close the borders first.

Khandro, I agree those of the Muslim faith need to unite and expel the extremists, if they wont they they have to be persuaded.

I would have thought the intelligence bodds get most info from intercepting communications.

Khandro //Yes, because it (Finsbury Park) was closed down and they got the message.//

And if it hadn't you would think the problem would be resolved by razing it to the ground?

> One soldier has serious head injuries. OK well he didn't (as yet) die, so that's taken care of.

The article you've linked to says "One soldier sustained a slight head injury"

[Khandro]

The Louvre is now closed to the public.

Letz uz hop zat ze Madonna with the big boobies iz safe?

Obviously suppressing an entire section of the population in retaliation for an attack has no ominous overtones at all and would always be effective...

Do you even think about what you say?

/such as the closure of a main mosque for 6 months, any futher attacks during that period and the mosque would be demolished// Kh

well yes the Germans did that in the thirties innit
krystallnacht and all that - so that may be where Kh got the idea from

// Letz uz hop zat ze Madonna with ze big boobies iz safe? //

mais oui ! I was thinking along the same lines
Following protests the Mona Lisa has been renamed Mona Lott ( thx to Its That Man Again) - especially to people locked inside the Loo
and
and people locked inside the Loo have texted that the Mona Lisa is looking more like Edvard Munch's The Scream and she isnt looking very Joconde at all today

yes please dont say - I know I am a sad donkey

[Peter Pedant]

// Do you even think about what you say?//

save it Jim ( hi Jim!) - he aint worf it

[Khandro]

//The article you've linked to says "One soldier sustained a slight head injury"//
Of course, it wasn't the spokesperson who was attacked, you may call me cissy if you like, but any attack to my head with a machette, I would call "serious".

[Peter Pedant]

yeah one of the tourists locked in the Loo has txted

Mona Lisa in the Loo ? my God she looks as tho she is going to the Loo as well !

sorry trying to take this seriously

[Ellipsis]

You've translated "a slight head injury" to "serious head injuries ... didn't (as yet) die" - why bother?
