True but until the major Muslim countries and leading Muslim leaders start condemning these actions and take a lead role in destroy terrorism the ordinary person in the street will feel this way.

Read last night that the fire was a false report. Old photos and video.
Makes sense, that's why it wasn't reported earlier today.

Gatwick North terminal currently evacuated after nut job apparently pulls a gun. My missus (who is safe) was right there and has told me 'I can't stop shaking'.

Absolutely and for some reason our media seems happy to fuel the anti Muslim feeling.
In a statement published online, the jihadist group said the attacks were designed to show France it remained a "top target".
The group claims it studied the target locations and carried out the attack using "eight brothers wearing explosive belts and carrying assault rifles".

Why 'for some reason'... it's Muslims (extreme ones) who are doing these things so it's pretty obvious there will be negative sentiment towards them.

And fueling the far write.
An interesting article ,
Peter Neumann, Professor of Security Studies at King's College London, spoke to BBC Radio 4's Today programme about the effect of terror attacks on societies.
This is the attack everybody has been dreading for at least a couple of years. This is really important because it is the essence of terrorism, it is not only about people being killed it is about creating a political effect. What worries me the most is that we will see in France and other European countries a polarisation, with different extremists egging each other on. People on the far right trying to take advantage. It's about dividing societies. This was a big attack but even relatively small attacks are dangerous because of the political situation, because of the chain reaction they can cause.

Exactly IS cannot win as it is, they need to unite all Muslims to have a chance, what better way to do that than turning everyone else against them.
There has been a Holy War going on between Muslims and Christians for many centuries. Remember the Crusades? You would think we should have grown out of this by now, but we haven't. Whatever you thought about Saddam Hussain, at least he ran a largely secular country in Iraq, but this was destroyed by the so-called "War Against Terror" instigated by Bush and Blair. We are now reaping what these misguided politicians managed to sow! Personally, I don't think religion should be a justification for any war or act of terrorism. If people want to believe in any God or Idol, this should be a personal choice, and should not impinge on others of different beliefs. :angry:

Until the war between Muslim religions is sorted which make the ones between Muslim and Christian pretty small this is going to go on.
True, but think about the wars between Protestants and Catholics, both Christian religions, in our own country in the not too distant past! :mmm:

apparently there was a serious fire in the Calais Refugee camp last night, but it was caused by candles falling over and not by any "revenge motive"
it shows how things like Twitter can take mis information, spread it like wildfire (excuse the wording) and to many it then becomes fact.
This is dangerous.
Thoughts are with everyone affected by last nights horrors

Can't believe some of the crap you spout sometimes. Have you conveniently forgotten Saddam Hussein murdered between 5000 and 10000 Kurds with chemical weapons.
Not saying he was a particularly nice fellow, but several hundreds of thousands of people died as a direct or indirect result of the Iraq war!

Some did, but we have to be careful as some have said, these are terrorists first, the banner they fight under can change just as they have done in the past.

Maybe right now isn't the time for you to pursue a political agenda
So do you believe that the heinous attack on Paris was not part of a political agenda, spiced up with a bit of religious zealotry?
