Terrorist plot against 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.

We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

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.
