Facebook is also doing something to show solidarity with Paris, you can filter your profile pic with the colors of the French Flag...a few of my family and friends have done it.... I didnt because my profile pic is my 5 grandsons and just didnt want to use their pic. http://time.com/4113171/paris-attacks-facebook-filter-french-flag-profile-picture/
These refugees are the Trojan house of the Arab countries. Most all these refugees are aged 16 -40 all in good health. US,England France, and all these countries that only know wars on people who were very happy where they were. They have destroyed all the infrastructure in their countries, destroy their homes and they should thank us. In a away they are the cause for any problem they have. They only say that all these terrorists are from Syria when in fact after Russia went in there over one million refugees went back. This is another BS trying to make Syria the boggy man. It seems the all the politicians and there UN counter part choke on the word peace they can not seem to say it or work towards it. They all come up with we have a strategy and it will work this time,BS. Get out of sticking there noises in every countries business. Most of these countries were peaceful until they were attacked.
I am very sad with what happened in Paris. Yes, we have to unite but that Facebook filter for the color of France's flag is plain commercialism. With millions of Facebook users changing their profile, think of how much money Facebook would earn in terms of website hits that are being paid by their commercial sponsors. What we need is a concrete action so that terrorists would stop their barbaric acts. Maybe we can form an army - some nations can donate money for weaponry, some can donate people for soldiers. But changing your Facebook profile with the symbol of France does nothing concrete. It is just a craze. Pardon me for the negative comment about the Facebook profile. It just doesn't suit my taste buds.
I found the facebook solidarity with France click to change your profile picture to have France's flag over your picture. I joined the solidarity movement via facebook and am proud of it. Come on down to your facebook to see about the solidarity for France. I'm going to check out your link too. Thanks so much for telling me.
To me it just shows sympathy, people do all sorts of things to their profiles on facebook...this was just another one that individuals could do. It doesnt cost me anything. I know if it was the US and not Paris, I would get a good feeling by seeing people in other countries filter their profiles with the colors of the US flag.
I feel awful for the people of France, I really do. These savages need to be stopped! I also wonder about the bleeding-heart liberalism that allows so many muslims to infiltrate all these countries, including our own! Sorry for going on a political rant, but Obama and his ilk would fling our borders wide open, and let the same kind of radicals into America! I agree with Martin to a point. We have stuck our national nose into places where it didn't belong for decades. We need to cut ties with Arab countries, drill our own oil and let them go back to the Middle Ages where they were seemingly happy. The only business we have in the Middle East is with Israel.
Hmm. Canada weeps with Paris. Solidarite, egalite, fraternite, liberte. ISIS must be stopped. That said, let us remember that the majority of their victims are other Muslims. Remember Beirut? Canada is committed to taking 25,000 Syrian refugees by year's end. We are a multicultural nation, currently with ten Muslim members of parliament. Sadly, we had an act of hatred toward a mosque in Ontario over the weekend. 80k damage incurred, as of Monday morning, crowd funding had raised 40k to aid in repairs. Salut, les Canadiens! This is my Canada, not giving in to the rising tide of Islamophobia sweeping much of America and parts of Europe. By all means carefully vet all Refugees before offering asylum, but in the name of whatever you hold holy, do not forfeit your Humanity in the name of national security. Then the terrorists will have won.
That is the problem with the terrorists. They are invoking their religion in their dastardly acts. Innocent Muslims are affected since the terrorists are being labeled jihadists and only Muslims are jihadists. In all honesty, there is now a scare here that points to the Muslims (with their head coverings) may be the terrorists. Maybe the innocent Muslims should condemn those terrorists so they (the terrorists) will be isolated. It is just too bad that religion is being dragged in the issue. Let's always remember that evil acts are done by men and not by their religion.
All the Canadian Muslim leaders of all denominations, have come out in condemnation of ISIS and in solidarity with Paris. Fundamentally, ISIL are perverting Islam in order to promote their true ideology, one of conquest and power. This is an old story, perpetuated for eons by many from a variety of religions.
How can making millions/billions of enemies all around the world and having the government frisking you at the airport, opening your borders allowing anyone in making you safe. The whole thing is set up to cause wars. Soon as any terrorist attack happens they say without prof.Syrian. There is thousands/millions of people coming from other countries like Libya.
I don't think we should stand around though pointing fingers at individuals who could be innocent of any wrong doing. In doing this we lose our own humanity and start becoming paranoid. There is zero proof and I do mean zero that any refugee is involved in any of these activities. In fact, your worse enemy can be in your own back yard. There are now reports surfacing the a few of the terrorist who executed these attacks in Paris were actually a few of their own citizens. Look at the Oklahoma City bombing and the Boston Marathon Bombing both of which happened in the United States. Yes these were carried out by domestic terrorist. The thing is we can't classify a group of people of a religion or race as terrorist because the same thing is happening in our own back yards unfortunately. Instead of pointing blame and wanting to judge people who could be innocent why don't we ban together. Right now what Paris needs is our prayers, and our unity against a common foe, not people jumping to conclusions and pointing blame where it may not even belong.
I have a good friend who is an American muslim, and she is honest about why her religion cannot assimilate with Western, particularly American culture. There is this little thing called Sharia law that is in NO way compatible with the U.S. Constitution. If people come here, they need to be able to assimilate. I don't think practicing muslims can do that. I'm sorry that their own countries have become uninhabitable because of an oppressive religion, and also the fact that the citizenry is probably unarmed. Maybe it's time for them to reclaim their own countries.
Actually, just because a terrorist lives in the US or in Paris doesn't mean that he's not an Isis terrorist. Quite the contrary. It proves they set up house to have a place to organize and store their weapons before the dirty deed. No? What about that syrian passport to greece that was near one of the terrorists in Paris? What about the 9/11 terrorists who lived in Florida and earned their pilot's license there until their plan reached it's maturity before the attack? And, what about all the evidence found that the Boston Bombers were connected to Al-qaeda? What about the Oklahoma bomber's evidence of connection with an Indo-Iranian gang? In February 2004, the FBI announced it would review its investigation after learning that agents in the investigation of the Midwest Bank Robbers (an alleged Aryan-oriented gang) had turned up explosive caps of the same type that were used to trigger the Oklahoma City bomb. There were also sightings from several residents, a real estate agent, and a retired army NCO of 2 trucks near McVeighs home with surly aggressive men inside who scared off the army NCO with aggressive attitudes. Agents expressed surprise that bombing investigators had not been provided information from the Midwest Bank Robbers investigation. Some witnesses claimed to have seen a second suspect, and there was a search for a "John Doe #2", but none was ever found. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh
At least one of the attackers in France was a recent immigrant. It is also quite likely, although the media wouldn't be inclined to tell us if that was the case, that others had also immigrated to France before, becoming French citizens. We've had incidents here where the perpetrators were described by the media, and many of our politicians, as "homegrown terrorists" when, in reality, that had immigrated here and become citizens. The Boston bombers, for example. Islamic terrorists are quite capable of long range planning, so I'd like to have a government willing to look out for our interests long range, as well.
