Explosions and Shootings Rock Paris! · 12:26am Nov 14th, 2015
One of the shootings was at a popular concert venue, and witnesses claim that up to 60 hostages are being held inside!
It is speculated that these attacks were corodinated and carried out by the Islamic State Insurgency, also known as ISIS or ISIL, though it has yet to be officially confirmed! Earlier this day, the U.S. and U.K. said they had launched an airstrike against ISIS militant "Jihadi John", but they still do not know if he was killed or not!
In the wake of the growing possibilty that ISIS is responsible for bringing down a Russian Airlines flight in Egypt, the war on terror has now turned ugly, and ISIS appears to be stepping up its attacks outside the Middle East!
As of now, France has shut down its borders, and it is believed that all the attackers have died! Major cities around the world are stepping up security in response to the attacks, and the search goes on for the accomplices!
Please keep the people of Paris, and all of France in your thoughts tonight! And if you or someone you know has a loved one in Paris, I pray that they are safe!
Ugh. Fucking Isis. Nuke those assholes.
3540717 Nuking ISIS would be a bad idea. They are not a soverign nation, or even in control of one. They are a terrorist group that has spread to several parts of the Middle East. Considering the fact that even our airstrikes have been having trouble with civillian casuilites, the use of nuclear weapons would be counterproductive. It would turn several Middle East countries into craters, killing who knows how many innocent people, and if ISIS does survive, they would be able to draw support from survivors that would be fearful of the U.S.
We must not act hasty and rash, like ISIS wants. We cannot respond with acts that will only serve to strengthen their cause, and kill innocent civillians. For now, all we can do is try to stick to what works, though I fear that we may have face facts and put boots on the ground in order to truly crush ISIS. And even then, terrorist groups will still have a foothold for as long as there is instability and a lack of tolerance for the three different religions that live in the Middle East countries. Something that will take decades, if not centuries to achieve.
