Title: Terrorist plot against Paris gay nightclubs thwarted

Terrorist plot against Paris gay nightclubs thwarted (http://www.washingtonblade.com/2017/09/13/terrorist-plot-paris-gay-nightclubs-thwarted/)
QuoteFrench authorities have thwarted a terrorist plot against gay nightclubs in Paris.
Interior Minister Gérard Collomb on Tuesday said during a hearing at the French National Assembly that authorities uncovered the plot on Aug. 22. BFM TV, a French television station, reported Collomb told lawmakers the plot targeted “Parisian nightclubs and gay establishments in particular.”
Collomb did not name the specific nightclubs that had been targeted. He told lawmakers that authorities have thwarted 12 terrorist plots in France since the beginning of the year.
“This is what Daesh wants: To divide the national community and ensure that in our country there are clashes among the French people,” said Collomb, referring to the so-called Islamic State as BFM TV reported. “This is a trap that we must not fall for.”
France has been under a state of emergency since a series of terrorist attacks at the Bataclan concert hall and other locations throughout Paris on Nov. 13, 2015, left more than 100 people dead.

Actually, it seems like "yes".  The more I learn, the less I like the Saudis...

I never considered the Saudis our friends.  The ruling family is very weird and religiously extreme.

They have to be. All their power derived from Allah.

No, all their power is derived from the monarchy and THAT comes from the beliefs of the subjects.  And the subjects believe in wassabi or something like that.  I won't even bother to look it up.

But it is the religion that gives them the ultimate power.
The fear of Allah which keeps the people down.

As all religions keep the local populace down.  So what?

Not to the extent that Islam does.
There is fear from the afterlife, and earthly punishment.
Muslims are policing each other.
Those who stray are punished (sometimes lethally) by family, peers, random people.

Christians do not do this kind of thing anymore.

Actually, not.  The religion least likely to control its own members  from violence is Islam.  Not that I think much of any of them, but Islam is nuttiest and more violent. 

It could be just because it is newer.  But it might also be the the place it thrives is crazier due to climate and geography.  Hard to tell.

It is because the founder was a deranged psychopath.

Well, OK.  But most religious movement creators are not exactly normal either.  At least there is some evidence Mohammed actually existed.  Which is more than can be said about Jesus, Buddha, or Diva.

Compare the teachings of Muhammad and the teaching of Jesus.
But to do that, one has to have some knowledge of Islam.
Something that American atheist won’t do.

They aren't all that difference and yes, I've read both books.

From your perspective, the books must seem very different.  From mine, they aren't.  It's not like one is "Dick, Jane, and Sally" and the other is 'Lord Of The Flies'.  They are both young adult semi-moronic fiction.

None of us needs to read these cult books to understand their cult books, its just a matter of fact. I've never read the bible, and apart from being forced to listen to stupid children's story interpretations of the bible in junior school (which omits the parts of certain stories that involve death, murder, rape, genocide and god being a colossal cunt), I've never found a reason to read it, since I know i won't achieve some higher level of human understanding from doing so.
The fact such cult books exist in the first place gives me all the understanding I need to know how easy clueless morons there are who follow such stories into adulthood as if their real.

Same goes for the quran, don't need to read it, its just another cult.

It is a very dangerous cult that will change everyone’s lives. For the worse.
A cult that kills indiscrimenately to achieve its goal.

A cult that has been doing it for fourteen centuries.

All that tells me about the nature of the human condition is people are easily lead. I would sooner look into a study into psychology on why this occurs then look into the made up shit in a cult book.

Don’t forget that this “cult” has the support, approval and protection, even cooperation of all our governments and institutions and we are inviting this cult into our countries in unlimited numbers.
(Our taxes pays for it.)

Those who dare to dissent, are dealt with.

Interesting that you called god a "cunt" rather than an "ass", LOL!

Length of time for a cult is not important.  Wiccans go back longer and I don't care about them either.

Unsupported beliefs define a cult no matter how long.

I should add to my studies into why there are people in the west who can't differentiate the people from the religion, as if its so ingrained in them just insulting the faith is taking a poke at the people who blindly follow said faith, and your a terrible person for doing so? That really requires some deeper psychological understanding.

Caring so little about the value of religion, they could all disappear tomorrow and I don't think it would make much difference.  The gains overcome whatever losses there are.
