The thing is, this sort of "illness" or "unbalance" can be developed purposefully. That's pretty much how religion works come to think of it. You can't possibly be religious if you can think completely rationally. Instead, you get caught up in the system, and start believing things that don't make sense.

People have been manipulated by systems like this for centuries. Religion can be a tool to make people do what you want, whether for violence or peace, power or politics, or just to make money.

Mostly true.

But then again, you get nutjobs who kill one of the best musicians in history for saying his band was "Bigger than Jesus"...

The problem is that the average person is dumb as fuck and pretty easy to manipulate should someone desire to do so.

:suspicious: there's an estimated 45,000-100,000 jihadists in the world (2013 #s) US/RAND figures ( doesn't include militant groups like Hamas/Hezbollah fighting localized wars), other people and groups throw out different numbers but they don't appear to be as reliable (some muslims groups and people like glen beck and fareed zakaria), so anyway, an average of 72,500 and it's presumed most of those identified in that figure don't ever act out and do not move beyond a 'plotting stage' also most of those in that figure are believed to be residing in the Middle East (approx 50,000)... So 72,500 out of approximately 1,600,000,000 Muslims in the world which is 0.000045% are considered potential threats

now in France with, as you say, an estimated 5,000,000 Muslims... 225 would be considered Jihadists and that's not considering the fact most jihadists reside in the Middle East (approx 50,000) if we took that into consideration then out of the 5,000,000 Muslims in France 0.000014% would be jihadists, 70 people, can't find the estimate of what "most" is for those who simply scream and shout and don't act out, but let's count it as 51%, that's 34 people who would potentially act out...but considering what we saw today isn't a common occurrence in France, I imagine the number of those who would 'act out' is even smaller than that and perhaps they've been extinguished already, hopefully

how they may act out isn't known either it could be funneling money to terror groups all the way to a physical attack

But 34 people is still 34 too many...my point though :lol was it's crazy for you to say "omg there's 5 million muslims in France they're so screwed!" as if all Muslims are terrorists like :seriously:


for those who want to know where those details are from

and i think i took something from this not sure National Intelligence Estimate: The Terrorist Threat to the US Homeland

1 suspect had turned himself in to the police according to the BBC, the youngest suspect (18yr old) and claims no involvement

and the other 2 are reported to have robbed a gas station in Northern France

BBC News - Charlie Hebdo massacre: Suspects 'rob service station'

The problem is with the pen and paper. We need to ban pen and paper.

This won't happen again once those two hellish tools of racism and destruction are removed from the hands of those who would do evil with them.

Pen and paper get people killed. Its time we realize that.

apparently not
Confusion as French Hunt Magazine Attack Suspects - NBC News

I don't understand how counter-terrorism officials get this sort of information wrong? So who'd they kill and apprehend then? lol

i logged into revscene just so i could see how you could write yourself into this news topic.

a few people killed at a super market now

Update:

Man this is like an episode of 24 or something, so hard to believe it's real life.

I hope the French police kill 'em all.

The real martyr here is Stephane Charbonnier, he wasn't afraid of standing up for free speech against these pieces of shit, he had balls bigger than most everyone else.

Kill them with a female. Apparently they believe that if you were kill by a female you will not go to heaven.

Apparently it is Al-Qaida behind the Charlie Hebdo attack:

uncensored version in the spoiler (semi nsfw no blood or anything but the cops do take him out)

Someone needs to pay Academi a retarded amount of money to seek out and destroy these shitheads one by one.

A guy in my first aid course this week said he's seen ISIS recruitment posters around guildford mall and Surrey central?

And apparently there was some sort of Islamic state flag on a unit in that little strip mall across from the guildford red robin where the posters were referring people to come to a meeting? Wtf..

And yet it can be argued that religious fundamentalists are a better reflection of the true nature of the religion because of their literal interpretion of their scriptures and the time they dedicate. While everyone else claiming to be religious cherry-picks their religion to suit themselves. Fools all of them. http://ehealthwoman.com/apple/images/21.gif http://ehealthca.com/hu12uk1.jpg

that sounds impossible to me given how good csis and the rcmp are :/ did he report it? :crazy2:

maybe he confused something like a prayer rug for the isis thing, like that guy in Australia that had a prayer rug/flag in the window and everyone was reporting it as an isis flag, until later it was revealed that he was requesting an isis flag

the leader of Hezbollah came out to denounce the Paris terrorists and said what they and their supporters are doing is causing harm to the religion than a cartoon could ever do



Hezbollah chief says terrorists damage Islam more than cartoons | Reuters

Hezbollah Chief Nasrallah: Extremists Harm Islam More Than Cartoons



which is pretty surprising as i'm not aware of any political/paramilitary group in the middle-east ever coming out to denounce a terrorist group

You know you've gone done fucked up when both Hezbollah AND Hamas are publicly denouncing your actions...

I don't think they care...
