So lets have the chest thumping 'rightists' have their war with the right-wing Islamic conservative nuts on their own island. That is ultimately the end game here right? They can even scream their religion (even though technically I guess they both pray to the same tribal Middle Eastern god) is better than the other brand of religion to their hearts content before offing one another. They can kill each other off and leave the rest of civilization out of it.

There you go, left extremist trying to deflect from the issue at hand.

Not to mention that radical Islam is not a political ideology.  It's not left or right.  They want to kill all who are different from them.  It's about chaos, not government.  The fact that he puts Conservatives in the same category as them is quite telling.  And misguided.

Seriously both the rightist and leftist solution are dumbs. 

Right solution is war, which is how this happened in the first place, if it wasn't for the right's greed and wanting to control and police every little fun state on the planet, maybe non of this would have happened. Left solution is that everyone is special snowflake, and that screening should not happen to people coming into the country, because everyone is a snowflake. 

Both sides hold blame, don't act rightous.

Pretty sure it's leftist governments that have intervened in Syria and caused the recent mess.

Horrific attack and it only goes to show how Europe needs to work better with Islamic nations to counter terrorism. And ANYONE should be as horrified by this as they are by the guy who shot policemen in the US recently, but it seems some people only want to do something when a muslim commits a terrorist act (if that is the case here).

Maybe because this is a world problem as opposed to a US problem.

War with what? What is there is even left in the Middle East to bomb? Iraq has already been bombed back into the stone age, so has Syria. 

And fine, lets have war, so shouldn't all these right wing tough guys be the first to volunteer to go over there and fight? 

There's a word for people who adovocate for war but are too scared to actually do the fighting -- it's called a chickenhawk. 

Pretty sure right wing parties are about defending their own borders as opposed to going to war in other countries.

No, the conservative right in Europe wants the West to stay out of the Middle East as much as possible.

Yes.  It's because they don't like dictators, even if said dictator had no plans to harm us.  Of course, many of those countries were the ones who helped those dictators into power in the first place.  And sadly it seems a dictator was necessary to keep the extremist preoccupied.  Now that the dictators are taken out of power, the rebels (many of which became ISIS or other such groups) are free to conquer land and plot terrorist acts against others, including the countries who may have helped take out the dictators they were warring with.

Just shows that despite this belief that we're so sophisticated, mankind is still mentally in it's infancy.  Still beliving in the ideas we thought up thousands of years ago to explain everything because we couldn't understand how the universe actually works.

Maybe billions believe in a "sky daddy," but billions aren't extremist.

Either way, I'm curious to see when the world gets serious about eliminating terrorism.

And I guess I won't be going to France anytime soon.

I wouldn't cancel my plans just cause of this attack. The chances of you dying in one are very low. In fact, you could probably get a good discount now on a holiday to France or an even better deal  would be a trip to Turkey. 

Eh, I'm still polishing my French, I can't wait till next year. Hopefully things get better.

And the problem is not only the chances of dying on such attacks... I know they are low. But a traumatized population + a police on alert + my last name being arabic = recipe for a tragedy. I won't risk it anytime soon.
