Interesting. In the "Russia/NATO" thread, you have questioned the motives "NATO minions" and "European oligarchs" many times, but yet I can't find a single instance of you doubting/questioning Putin's motives or actions at all. Is there a reason for that?

For the record:

Terrorism was invented by Jews.

Terrorism remains today a tool of certain Jews (see here too).

These quotes are posted purely for informational purposes, not to fuel any anti-semitic fires.

Bottom line:

Terrorism is not new to Palestine.

Not sure how this is relevant in any way to the subject. Could you please clarify?

I happily grant that there's scant immediate relevance, and am willing to delete the post on that ground, if it seems to be on that basis alone entirely appropriate. But in light of the more-often-than-not zionist agenda of the previous poster, I think some documented context of the origin of terrorism was appropriate to a discussion in which s/he wants to assume the role of defining terms.

In what way have terrorists changed our behaviour?

Thanks to them we now have arduous airport security and the state is listening to our phone calls and reading our emails.

But the terrorsists didn't do that. Our governments did that. The terrorsists were just a useful bogeyman to blame.

Terrorists created a general mood where people get into Panic out of nothing. Where a love for security leads to restrictions on freedom and liberty. Where tolerance gets reduced

That's all slowly changing, however. The French prosecutor apparently charged el-Khazzani with attempted murder, possession of weapons, and conspiracy — all as "terrorism" charges. Exactly with whom he conspired hasn't been revealed. Exactly which terrorist organization's agenda he was seeking to advance hasn't been revealed.

And if these details never materialize the prosecutor will have laid down one more precedent in which "terrorism" can be charged by such a loose use of the word that it will become applicable to a much larger range of people whom the state dislikes — not unlike how Poroshenko branded as "terrorists" his own countrymen seeking self-determination in the wake of the 2014 coup in Kiev.

My hunch is that in the same way ruling classes have rendered the voicing of disapproval into punishable "hate speech," they will render whatever category of persons they (dis)like into "terrorists" so they can be punished more severely than had they not been so branded. The meaning of the word will have become redefined for political purposes.

And the media will always report it as the work of "officials" so the masses will be inclined to acquiesce.

Yep! I knew it! Dam' it, they, they're the source of all evils.
You would have thought Auschwitz and Birkenau have cured some of these.....sentiments.

Whatever..

I know, you've been to Israel and met wonderful people!
We've seen all of these, Texaner.

Please tell us what you are drinking? I would like some

1.Tourism is one Exemple - the attacks in tunisia had a big impact on a major industry.
2.Freedom of expression: there will be no Muslim version of "life of brian"
3. Last but not least, soviet Terror helped to install communist governments in central europe after ww2. Anne Applebaum's "Iron curtain" is an excellent Source.

Being charged with a crime is not the same as being found guilty of a crime; precedents are only set by results. Anyway France legal system is based on Code Napoleon which isn't a precedent based system.
Article 5 of the Code Napoléon proscribes the use of precedents by judges

Lorena1 you're a troll

Probably not relevant here but not sure where would be! The latest news from Birmingham university could be interesting,
Seems they found fragments of an even older Koran bound into a 7th century Koran in the Cadbury library (yes the choccie man). Carbon dating showed they are from the time of the Prophet (or even earlier).

If true, could blow a big hole in the belief that the Koran has been handed down unchanged (and initially verbally) direct from the Prophet

One of the men who foiled the attack on the French train, Airman Spencer Stone is now in stable condition after being stabbed in Sacramento yesterday .. http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2015/...cal-condition/

Looks like he has a very interesting life

At least "has" not "had"

Courageous guy who appears to have chronic hero syndrome.

From what I've read it looks like he was on a night out with friends when he noticed a woman being punched by (what news sources assume it was) her boyfriend outside a club.

News sources say there is a camera footage showing the men who stabbed him, as well as the victim getting into a car with the men. The attackers haven’t been found yet.

He underwent surgery and is expected to make full recovery.

Hoping he gets well very soon. It's very remarkable of him to single-handedly interfere to save that woman. He sounds like a very fine young man, but I hope next time he witnesses (domestic) violence, he calls the police instead of putting his life at risk again.

... and then stands twiddling his thumbs for half an hour while he waits for them to arrive?

we have to appreciate and love Switzerland! the USA is a jungle! soldiers have a higher chance of dying at home driving on USA roads than in a foreign war zone!

but that's what the USA is all about. Its all an experiment. Research (involving people)
I am sure some of you know how many drugs like heroin was developed and tested...
