Did they move on from Kenya? A Westgate in Paris? Similar scale of sleuth.

Not sure about the specific group.  I have a nagging suspicion this may have something to do with the religion of peace.

7 out of 8 managed to detonate and kill themselves. Suicide bombers. Westgate they fled the scene. Paris in that respects smells pretty sinister. Someone proposed "sleeper cells" from Syria.

It is Isis France was bombing them in Syria. France is awash with Muslims from north Africa and west africa

A tragedy, which will probably lead to a further tragedy, France is lurching further to the extreme right. France has about 14% Muslim, or at least from largely Muslim countries, and the near certain crackdown is likely to lead to more alienation, which might lead to more terrorists in the long run.  I fear that France is going to make the same mistakes that United States made after 9-11, for which non-war supporters like me are still paying the consequences, one of which might be this very attack.

While the world is mourning France, they have forgotten Lebanon.

I wish the terrorist attacks in Lebanon got wall to wall coverage like the media is giving France.

Do you know what a right wing nut or what Yankees call "Wingnut" is? If not, go and read George W Bush 101.

A lot of kids don't understand why France or Westgate in Kenya attacks occurred.

A five year old will get scarred when they see another five year old kid getting rescued (due to terrorism, tribal clashes, or racism), etc . Here is a video of a father who had to explain to his son ....... a detailed message of what just happened in France

A father and his little son share the most heart-warming conversation during an interview at the scene of the Bataclan attacks. Here is definitely the right way to talk to children about senseless acts of terror and how love will always win, not violence.

Kids these days prefer the role of terrorists over Americans in video games. They fight better apparently. I've had this chat many a times with kids aged 7-12. They are thoroughly desensitized towards violence.
