True but when is the next one coming. The last one didn't make a big enough splash. How will Canadians react when there are dozens of bodies, perhaps family members among them, and dozens more torn to shreds with lifelong injuries.Small, it happened one month after Abu Mohammed made his plea back in 2014.
A Canadian jihadist named Martin Couture-Rouleau waited in his CAR near a Tim's until
two Canadian Armed Forces officers stepped out of a Service Canada office and drove his CAR over them, killing one.
Couture-Rouleau had been yearning for martyrdom for months. As he sped off, he called 911 to make sure everyone knew he was “acting in the name of Allah.”

Too bad they didn't finish him off. Hope they try again. I'll never forget how Gaddafi shut up when Reagan dropped an egg on his home/camp.Iraq says ISIS leader Abu Mohammed al-Adnani wounded in airstrike

Well now it appears there might be: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...ruck-driver-who-killed-84-named-as-loner-fre/There isn't any evidence linking him to ISIS yet either
The French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said the attacker "appears to have become radicalised very quickly" as one neighbour of his estranged wife added: "Mohamed only started visiting a mosque in April."
Investigators examining Bouhlel’s phone records found evidence that he was in contact with known Islamic radicals.
However, an intelligence source cautioned: “That could just be a coincidence, given the neighbourhood where he lived. Everyone knows everyone there
"Known Islamic Radicals".Well now it appears there might be: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...ruck-driver-who-killed-84-named-as-loner-fre/
Guess the authorities have to wait until those known radicals commit a crime. Is it a crime to support terrorist causes or groups? (Like a hate crime)
Not yet I dont think.Guess the authorities have to wait until those known radicals commit a crime. Is it a crime to support terrorist causes or groups? (Like a hate crime)
But thats what I've been saying all along.
If you support radical muslims like ISIS or any other fucked up group, you automatically get 20+ years in jail.
If you think thats harsh, then tell me what kind of rational "person" would support babies getting run over in strollers in Nice, France??!! I hate to be graphic, but apparently the driver deliberately tried to run over babies in their baby carriages!!
I find it somewhat amazing, that when a Christian German who spent much time in the US kills 150 people by crashing his plane into the French alps, that is considered mental instability. When a Tunesian born man drives his truck into people, the cry goes out from all the trolls, that all muslims must be put on watch lists.
THE BASTILLE DAY FROM HELL

The French have a saying, ‘un malheur n’arrive jamais seul.’ That translates into ‘when it rains, it pours.’ This week, the heavens opened and poured on the nation’s national fete, Bastille Day.
The day began with highly embarrassing revelations by a French satirical newspaper that the unpopular president, Francois Hollande, had a staff hairdresser making $11,000 a month at a time of national austerity. This was a genuine ‘let them eat cake’ moment.
That same evening, a frightful attack occurred in Nice. A demented 31-year old man of Tunisian origin, Mohammed Bouhel, who had just lost his job and then his family through divorce, turned his truck into a mass murder weapon.
Bouhel sent his large truck down Nice’s famed seaside Promenade des Anglais, mowing down people celebrating Bastille Day. As of this writing, 86 victims died and scores are gravely injured, including many children. France reeled in horror.
With exquisite bad timing, President Hollande had just that day ended the state of emergency that was imposed after the November 2015 Paris massacre. He quickly reimposed it for another three months and brought France to near war footing by summoning military, police and security service reserves.
All that evening, so-called ‘terrorism’ experts had been droning on about how the attack was almost certainly ‘terrorism’ and the work of the Islamic State. In the US, the odious Newt Gingrich, who has been financed by ultra-Zionist casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, actually demanded that all Muslims, including US citizens, be tested by the authorities. If they admit to believing in the basic tenets of Islamic law known as Sharia, they must be deported asserted Gingrich, who is better known for abandoning his dying wife than as an expert on Islamic law.
A chorus of other uninformed Republicans raised their voices, including Fox News which called for a ‘world war’ against Muslims and urged the US to invade Syria. Republican anti-Muslim hysteria will be sure to rise in coming days. Donald Trump beat the war drums and growled that the US must take action. He just named ultra-conservative Indiana governor Mike Pence as his running mate who is notoriously anti-abortion and anti-Muslim.
But after all the bombast and hot air, it turned out that the crime in Nice was the product of a domestic crisis and one man’s suicidal impulses, rather like the three pilots who dove their aircraft into the ocean.
But one must ask, why has France been so often a target of attacks, both by Islamic Jihad and lone wolf gunmen? The answer is complex.
First, France has Europe’s largest Muslim population, over 5 million people, the legacy of France’s long colonial rule over large parts of Africa, Syria and Lebanon. Many are of North African origin, like the truck driver in Nice. They are mostly third class citizens, living in poverty and suffering sharp discrimination.
The jobless rate among young Muslims is around 50%. They live in bleak housing projects like many Americans of African origin, with no future except for drugs and other petty crimes. In short, a potentially explosive underclass that is neither French nor traditionally ‘old country’ Muslim but a rootless urban class of delinquents and petty hoodlums
Second, France has been getting ever more deeply involved militarily and politically in its former colonies. French military forces are fighting in Iraq and Syria, and in Libya, where they helped overthrow and kill Muammar Khadaffi. France has 2,500 troops battling rebels in Mali, and more troops in Central African Republic, Chad, Djibouti and Nigeria. French intelligence is active all over these regions and, notably, Lebanon.
In 1992, France worked with right-wing Algerian generals to overthrow and crush the newly elected democratic Islamist government in Algiers. This act triggered the bloody Algerian civil war that caused hundreds of thousands of deaths in an orgy of killing and torture.
The Algerian rebels, known as the GIA, were eventually crushed with French help, but not before they spread into Europe and influenced the younger generation of violent rebels, the Islamic State.
France’s government is in a mini-war with various militant groups who adopt the language of Islam but have little to do with traditional Islam. All these factors combined in one truck driver last Thursday night in Nice.

Perhaps a sentence equivalent to committing a hate crime, or maybe treason or conspiracy to murder, depending on the extent of the evidence. They may have to change the law to distinguish a hate crime from acceptable personal opinion when it comes to supporting terrorist causes.Not yet I dont think.
But thats what I've been saying all along.
If you support radical muslims like ISIS or any other fucked up group, you automatically get 20+ years in jail.
If you think thats harsh, then tell me what kind of rational "person" would support babies getting run over in strollers in Nice, France??!! I hate to be graphic, but apparently the driver deliberately tried to run over babies in their baby carriages!!
You obviously are incapable of understanding what free speech means. It means you are free to post in your campaign against Muslims and feminists and I'm free to call you out on how idiotic your views are.again you display your hypocrisy. you claim to support free speech rights but you constantly attack me for opinions you don't like...
Are you fucking serious?And you have no evidence he was NOT a radical muslim who acted on his religious beliefs....
We also have no evidence that he wasn't NOT a radical Christian, NOT an agent of the Vatican, NOT part of the Illuminatti, and you have no evidence that he was NOT born on Mars.
Law depends on what you can prove, not on what idiocy you can't prove.
Not quite. They claimed he was inspired by their cause, not one of their members....
ISIS has claimed him as theirs. Whether thats true or not remains to be seen
Could be true or he could just be a fucked up angry guy.
Getting a disarmed or practice grenade isn't that hard.Okay. Guess that's good news but honestly, where do you acquire a grenade?
Are you a FUCKING IDIOT????!!!!!!Are you fucking serious?
We also have no evidence that he wasn't NOT a radical Christian, NOT an agent of the Vatican, NOT part of the Illuminatti, and you have no evidence that he was NOT born on Mars.
Law depends on what you can prove, not on what idiocy you can't prove
His name was Mohamed, he followed Islam, and he allegedly screamed "Allahu Akhbars" from his truck window as he mowed people down!!
What more evidence do you need, smartypants??!!
...With this kind of logic, the cops or a court of law can ask you to prove you're NOT a criminal.And you have no evidence he was NOT a radical muslim who acted on his religious beliefs...
No, because I'm not the one accused of mowing down 84+ men, women and kids...With this kind of logic, the cops or a court of law can ask you to prove you're NOT a criminal
The part that he is called Mohamed matters little, but the fact that friends and family are saying that he radicalized quickly and the French interior minister is saying so matters. Basketcase unfortunately is starting to sound like frankfooter, or maybe he's just hammered tonite. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Attacks by radicals like this are happening almost every few days.Are you a FUCKING IDIOT????!!!!!!
His name was Mohamed, he followed Islam, and he allegedly screamed "Allahu Akhbars" from his truck window as he mowed people down!!

"Minister Cazeneuve said that the father-of-three "seemed to have been radicalised very quickly from what his friends and family" have told police."

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/16/europe/france-attack-on-nice-isis/index.html
The bolded part is the part that is missing. Early reports were that he was completely nonreligious, drank, ate pork, did drugs. At least from those reports he's as Muslim as I am Christian.Are you a FUCKING IDIOT????!!!!!!
His name was Mohamed, he followed Islam, and he allegedly screamed "Allahu Akhbars" from his truck window as he mowed people down!!
What more evidence do you need, smartypants??!!
Things might change as they find out more about him but AK's desire to find him guilty of being ISIS because we have no evidence he wasn't is asinine.
Them's fightin' words....Basketcase unfortunately is starting to sound like frankfooter, ...
I don't dismiss the possibility of him being a radical Islamist but at least from early reports there wasn't any evidence to differentiate him from any other psycho-killer other than his name.
