These terrorists clearly didn't attack France because of Bush or the Iraq War. There must have been a Youtube video somewhere that angered them. I am just waiting for Obama or Kerry to point out which one caused it. Maybe even Hillary will tell us.
...but yeah...
This.
That's like, a distinction without a difference. Terrorists masquerading as refugees to move freely across borders has been the true concern all along, not whether or not they originally came from Syria.
I don't think anyone is confusing them. The concern all along is our inability to easily distinguish so care must be taken. Trying to frame it as racism is... expected (sadly).
A Facebook video being widely shared that supposedly shows Muslims in London celebrating in the aftermath of the Paris terror attacks is fake, it has been shown.
The video, entitled “Muslims Around The World Celebrate The Islamic Victory In Paris France”, claims to show a large group of Muslim men cheering and waving Pakistani flags outside Tooting Broadway station in south London, following Isis’ statement claiming responsibility for the attacks.
The voice of a newsreader can be heard over the cheering, describing scenes of Friday's violence in which 129 people were killed in a wave of attacks.
It has since been revealed that the footage actually shows British Pakistanis celebrating a cricket victory during the 20/20 games in 2009.
Some people certainly do, but most of the people I know understand how easy it is for ISIS to slip into the flood of legit refugees, and that's their concern. Also, when reports come out of how many of the refugees are men of 'fighting age' and hearing stories of how some to the refugees are behaving in the host countries (look at Sweden) isn't helping their cause.
Not that Bush isn't to blame for a lot of war in the ME, but my point is the blurred lines of Dem vs Rep.

Generation 2020 (the ones after Millennials born in 2000) have not known life without war in Afghanistan and most of the middle east, our former AND current Commander in Chief STILL has us there. Again, not seeing anything different.
Good point, now I don't see lines at all.I was born in 1980 and even I don't know what life is like without war in Afghanistan, though my perception of it has changed a lot since Rambo III.
So perhaps they shouldn't have been let in in the first place. Like the tsarnaev idiots.

...so you're saying what we need is rocket-tipped arrows, compound bows, and more aid to the Taliban?
I think two major reasons are that Jordan has been simultaneously less supportive of terrorists and less of a dick to the good people in Jordan.Video showing 'London Muslims celebrating terror attacks' is fake
Looks like someone is out to cause trouble via false reporting. Although it seems "reporting" in this case is passing around an older video on facebook and giving it a new label.
Whether it's originally based on ignorance or maliciousness, such communication of fake information can be quite damning to community relations which are already stretched thin in such times.
Which brings me to the King of Jordan condemning terror attacks. A nice gesture where we don't often see them. Here it is a GOOD thing that the Arab Spring did not destroy Jordan the way it has other nations. It means there are some sensible people leading militaries and countries who aren't out for pure genocide the way our "democratic" Libya and Syria have become.
If you're a BLM activist, this terrorism is akin to the "terrorism" at the University of Missouri. According to them anyways. They're so upset about it, they started the #FuckParis hashtag.
Stay classy, BLM. Stay classy.

IMO it's not right to call it racism as IMO it's a whole bunch of biases wrapped together.I don't think anyone is confusing them. The concern all along is our inability to easily distinguish so care must be taken. Trying to frame it as racism is... expected (sadly).

France is a pretty segregated country when it comes to Muslims. They also ban things like wearing a Burka in public. It doesnt surprise me these guys who carried out the attack are nationals.
The scary thing to me is the first reaction people in the states want to do is act more like France. And start excluding Muslims from society. That is exactly how to create the same problems France has had for years.
fyi, Personally, without some indication as to what the link is, I simply ignore them. I suspect that I'm not alone in this behaviour.
you are correct, you are not alone in that behaviour.
