How long do you think it will be before it happens in a mall or school here, not long I imagine. I know we have had shootings before but the majority that I remember have not been by religious terrorists.

I would say that it isn't a matter of if, but a matter of when.

Yes indeed. And that scares the living hell out of me. (Terrorists win again).  :mad:

^^  That includes Christianity as well.  Religion is fucking crazy regardless of the "book club" to which you belong. 

Absolutely! I've been saying that for years now. . .

I agree with this cartoon and I agree with your right to think whatever you want about religion.

Now they think they have the two men who killed the journalists cornered outside of Paris with a hostage. Another man has hostages in a Jewish grocery and wants the other two men released.

Gunfire and explosions have been heard at the print plant northeast of Paris where police have cornered two Paris massacre suspects holding hostage.  [/font]

Sky News reports the hostages have been freed from the marked in Paris. Reports also two subjects killed and hostage released outside of Paris. Simultaneous actions against both sites.

Excellent!  Love it when situations work out like that!

I am so glad the hostage was released!

I'm not so glad that the terrorists got what they wanted - to die as martyrs.
