“On behalf of the American people, I condemn in the strongest terms what appears to be a horrific terrorist attack in Nice, France, which killed and wounded dozens of innocent civilians,” President Barack Obama said.
Question: did Franklin Delano Roosevelt, on behalf of the American people, condemn in the strongest terms every German and Japanese strike during World War II? Did he add that the U.S. administration was in touch with Hawaiian or Polish or French or Midway etc. officials and was ready to offer any assistance in the investigation?
The answer is no, because there was no need to offer such condemnations. The world was at war, and the world knew it was at war. The fact was obvious, as was which side each combatant was on. Nor was there any need for an investigation after each battle. Everyone knew what was going on, and why.
The reason why Obama offers these condemnations now after each jihad massacre is because he treats each as if it were an isolated incident, not as if it were one more battle in a long war. And he offers help in an investigation for the same reason: if U.S. officials do end up helping the French with an investigation of this latest jihad massacre, they will like come back with a characteristically Obamoid conclusion: they’re unable to determine the motive of the perpetrator.
In reality, there is no need for an investigation, because the jihadi’s motive is obvious. There needs to be an admission that we are in a full-scale war — not just lip-service as Cazeneuve offers below, but a genuine acknowledgment, followed by a genuine war footing, and an end to the weepy memorials, empty condemnations, and po-faced get-nowhere investigations. This is not crime. This is war.
“At Least 80 Dead In Terrorist Attack After Truck Plows Into Crowd Celebrating Bastille Day In France,” CBSNewYork/AP, July 14, 2016:
NICE, France (CBSNewYork/AP) — At least 80 people were killed, and dozens of others injured, in a terrorist attack after a truck loaded with weapons and hand grenades plowed into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, France.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said 80 are dead in the attack, and 18 are critically injured. CBS News reported more than 50 were injured.
“We are in a war with terrorists who want to strike us at any price and in a very violent way,” Cazeneuve said.
French President François Hollande said some children were among the victims in the terrorist attack.
“This terrorist attack is once again a very violent act, an absolutely violent act, and it’s quite clear we must do everything to fight against the scourge of terrorism,” Hollande said.
Hollande stated that France’s state of emergency has been extended by three months as he will call a defense council meeting Friday that brings together defense, interior and other key ministers. He listed several measures to bolster security in France after two waves of attacks last year that killed 147 people.
Besides continuation of the state of emergency and the Sentinel operation with 10,000 soldiers on patrol, he said he was calling up “operational reserves,” those who have served in the past and will be brought in to help police, particularly at French borders.
The truck’s driver drove on to the sidewalk and plowed for more than a mile through a crowd of revelers who’d gathered to watch fireworks in the French resort city.
“It’s a scene of horror,” Eric Ciotti, head of the French department in which Nice is located, told France Info radio.
Nice prosecutor Jean-Michel Pretre described a horrific scene, with bodies strewn about along the roadway.
Sylvie Toffin, a press officer with the local prefecture, said the truck “hit several people on a long trip” down the sidewalk near Nice’s Palais de la Mediterranee, a building which fronts the beach.
Toffin confirmed the incident was deliberate.
“It’s an attack,” she said.
Ciotti said on BFM TV that police killed the driver “apparently after an exchange of gunfire.” It is not known if the driver had any accomplices….
CBS2’s Valerie Castro reported French officials found a cache of firearms and grenades inside the truck.
The White House condemned the tragic attack in a statement.
“On behalf of the American people, I condemn in the strongest terms what appears to be a horrific terrorist attack in Nice, France, which killed and wounded dozens of innocent civilians,” President Barack Obama said.
Obama added that the U.S. administration is in touch with French officials and ready to offer any assistance in the investigation….

Charles says
From TROP.com: “No other religion has to attach “phobia” on the end of its name in order to bully others into silence – lest they be accused of harboring irrational fear for suggesting that Islam is different. Yet, all other religions combined do not account for even a fraction of terrorism in the name of their god that Islam produces each day. No other religion is so demanding of respect while doing so little to earn it.”

YBD, if the now Obama-made useless CIA or FBI were to become involved in French investigations, be assured that they would simply muddy the water to avert attention from what and whom is really guilty of this barbarous attack in Nice, namely Islam and Muslim savagery.
This bastard president is simply facilitating Islam and protecting Muslim savages from being detected before they commit the terrorist acts they do. President Obama is on the side of Islam and even once stated that if there was ever a showdown between Islam and the West he would side with the Muslims. And this disgusting man is allowed to get away with claiming that he is a Christian. Who but a retard still believes this empty claim?

Well observed. Just one trait, say for instance, Jesus was a man of peace with a 9yr old wife – all other things remain the same. This ONE blight on the landscape would blow holes in all he said and did, and the consequences for history, and us would be devastating. Just one ‘item’.

Islamophobia—> IslamoloathingShane says
All religions should be criticized as none of them is perfect, and Islam is the worst of all. Islam is the most violent, aggressive, misogynistic, and homophobic religion in the world today, but most liberals refuse to acknowledge that fact. France is getting what it deserves for bringing in millions of muslims from countries where Jihad and sharia law are popular. Most muslims just do not share our Western values.
Dave Flang says
The the Catholic inquisition killed millions of true Christians and others and people fled Europe to the colonies to escape. Now the pope wants to join with Islam and seeing their history it makes sense.
The Founding Fathers and what they said and believed.
The facts of history illustrate the this nation never intended to be “God neutral.” Public displays of worship and subservience to the God of creation have always been made matter-of-factly. There can be no greater example of this than casual and unapologetic declarations concerning God in the constitutions of every one of the fifty states!

MS Case says
Here we are again with more murder by Muslims…while watching Fox news just now. I see pundit Juan Williams, and he’s not the only one that does this, actually going against everything we should be doing to clean up the muslim/islsmic/sharia mess that Obama has allowed to happen. Yes he has allowed it to happen! America has in the past led when it comes to war…and yes this Is world war…whether one wants to admit it or not…..
I do believe that if we had a republican …maybe even a different drmocrat president we would not be in the condition we are in today regarding Islam and their global aspirations. One other problem is the MSM..they have a lot of blood on their hands also for not reporting actually what is happening world wide.
It is time for Obama to work hard on getting a REAL coalition together to destroy isIS and all terrorist groups that undermine the security if the whole world. Don’t even take nukes off the table….look isis is hiding in civilian situstions better know an as COLLATERAL DAMSGE. Well what about all the “innocents” both Muslim and non Muslims that isis has killed since their beginning and if you add in all the others killed including our military, by Islamic groups who want to rule the world…then that figure is enormous so why worry about collateral damsge those so called innocents are all but dead any way..If they try to run away isis will kill them and if they are forced to stay and be shields or fight with them then they will most likely be killed any way.
I would go so far as to say this…..IF one more person Is killed by these thugs on American soil then Obama should be impeached and imprisoned….He is supposed to protect us…somewhere in the oath he took says that.
Stopping political corrrectness, start Profiling..monitoring mosques,Giving our intelligence and Law enforcement arms the power they need and everything else that can be done to protect American citizens should be started immediately…REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN STARTED YESRS AGO…THIS IS WAR Congress should actually DECLARE WAR …….

This is a World War against fundamental Islam. A summary of “List of Islamic Terror: 2016” states: “During this time period, there were 1268 Islamic attacks in 50 countries, in which 11664 people were killed and 14087 injured.” This list does not include The Nice attack.

Cecilia Ellis says
“‘On behalf of the American people, I condemn in the strongest terms what appears to be a horrific terrorist attack in Nice, France, which killed and wounded dozens of innocent civilians,’ President Barack Obama said.”
A worthless, pathetic response from an equally inept President. Two Americans — a father and his 11-year-old son, from Texas — died because of a Muslim who saw fit to holler “Allahu Akbar” as he mowed down possibly some 200 people, killing 84 and injuring over a 100, 18 of which are fighting for their lives. Obama displays no iota of moral leadership against people — not an ideology — who kill for the sake of killing. We fought Nazis, not the ideology of Nazism. We are at war, and he needs to do his job. He is not on the American payroll to issue shallow condolences; he is payed to fight the war that the whole world knows is being fought against us. He could start by honestly naming the enemy, taking the destruction of ISIS seriously, targeting ISIS strongholds and oil fields — without first dropping leaflets–, and allowing law enforcement and intelligence agencies to do their jobs unfettered by political correctness. But he won’t, thus ensuring that he retains the title of the worst President in U. S. history.
mortimer says
Agree, Cecilia. ‘WORTHLESS’ to talk, talk! Especially those good-for-nothing Islamic countries that speak out against jihad-terror while they are surreptitiously funding it and doing ZILCH to fight it.
Someone in the West has to call the bluff of terror exporting Arab countries and cut off their aid.
Money talks. Muslims are not our friends. They are trying to destroy and Islamize the West.

I’m sorry but while the American Administration is in the hands of certain type of people, it will NEVER react diffetently.

Well said Cecilia- but you are missing something. ISIS is just one manifestation of the

Europe has brought in muslims by the carload under the guise of ‘refugees’. Twerps have gathered in their thousands with crazy cardboard posters saying ‘refugees welcome’ little knowing or wanting to admit they were welcoming deadly terrorists into their midst.
Where there is islam there is death, destruction and the aim for domination. Islam is a death cult.
Europe is a basket case none wanting to admit they were wrong to bring islam into their countries, their own distorted pride being more important than their own citizens.
There is much talk of security, of vetting those who enter Europe. The only security that is needed is no entry to people from muslim countries and no muslims from anywhere.
Mike says
Yes, to counter these atrocities there will be vetting for people wanting to enter Europe or the UK. No doubt the European Union will come down hard down on visa applications from Bhutanese, New Zealanders and Laotions.
What we are witnessing is the theater of the absurd – candlelight vigils, meaningless hashtags, gays marching down the street affirming their support of Muslims, “refugees welcome, racists are not” placards.
There will probably be a show of Muslim solidarity in Nice tomorrow, while anyone who dares express concern will be branded a Nazi racist.
Mark Swan says
Lizzy I agree—Good Comment
Mike I am sure you’re right

And believe me , there will be Imams on TV asking for new rights or privileges: new mosques , money for arabic lessons etc… Each time there is an islamist attack , the next day Imams ask for something….and most of the time get it because they are victims. French does not include them . In fact , Islam ask msulims to set apart,not to be friend of non-muslims, just prtend at most.

Many Muslims believe that there are four different and conflicting gospels in the bible. There is only one gospel. The gospel of John is this only gospel (of the gospels) in its utmost potency – I believe.
Kepha says
The Gospel is the Good News about the coming of God’s promised Messiah Jesus. Hence, the four books about the life and teaching of Jesus Christ (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) are called the “gospels” in the plural. Read the New Testament seriously and you will see how these mesh with Paul’s definition of “the gospel” in I Cor 15.

Here is what all countries should do to these type of perps :
– Catch them, sentence them to death
– If they are shot dead during the terror event it saves the trial
– All dead terrorists should be dissected, autopsied, to “find out” why their brains went so off track
– Then cremate the remains ( denying family the body, and ability to give a “proper” burial
– any remaining ashes to be flushed Into the sewer
Declare martial law and shut down mosques/church/synagogue/etc. the terrorist attends

Maybe the best place to kill terrorist when not already dead would be the PLACE DE LA CONCORDE in Paris where Marie-Antoinette was beheaded.

She was a devout Christian, who emphasized charity and good works in her life, as confirmed by her generosity and courtesy to all social classes. She was trying to raise her children to follow in the same path, and was an early advocate of animal rescue, saving hundreds of cats from slaughter at the hands of a lunatic upper crust Frenchman…..

Felipe III de España, tuvo que expulsar a los “moriscos” (musulmanes), que habían quedado en España tras el fin de la Reconquista. El motivo principal fue los contactos que estos mantenían con turcos y piratas berberiscos, que atacaban pueblos de la costa. saquenado,matando y esclavizando a los habitantes de estos pueblos. Esto mismo está pasando en Occidente, asi que con el tiempo se llegará a esta terrible pero necesaria solución. Nuestras ciudades está llenas de jihadistas e imanes que predican la Guerra Santa. En España estan concentrado en Cataluña, aunque tambien los hay en muchas grandes y pequeñas ciudades. ¡¡¡ Despierta Occidente y vuelve a tus orígenes cristianos !!!
Philip III of Spain, had to expel the “Moriscos” (Muslims), who remained in Spain after the end of the Reconquista. The main reason was that they maintained contacts with Turkish and Barbary pirates, who attacked villages along the coast. saquenado, killing and enslaving the inhabitants of these villages. This is the same happening in the West, so that eventually will be reached this terrible but necessary solution. Our cities are full of jihadists and imams preaching Holy War. In Spain are concentrated in Catalonia, although there are also many large and small cities. ‘Awake West and your Christian origins back !!!

Whatever happened to “NOTHING TO DO WITH ISLAM”, scumbags Obama, Hollande et al??
Until western apologists are removed from power we just have to expect more and more of this.
And I’m sure we are all sick to death of it. Our gutless leaders need to tell the truth- Islam is at war
with us… NOT “extremists”, NOT “terrorists” but ISLAM.
Mosques must be closed, demolished and their inhabitants scattered. Islam must be given notice-
for every act of terror, they will lose a mosque. There will be NO praying in public places and those
do so in protest will be shot. There will be NO sharia. NO halal taxes. NO mercy for the Religion of Peace. If all else fails then obliterate Saudi’s ‘Holy Places’.
dumbledoresarmy says
You suggest that, “Islam must be given notice-
for every act of terror, they will lose a mosque.”
Not a bad idea. Because Islam is *all about* turf, seizure of turf, control of this-worldly turf, when it comes down to it. Read Patrick Sookhdeo’s magisterial tome “Faith, Power and Territory” and then his shorter book “Islam in Britain”; the first one gives you the way Islam goes about taking control, in general, whereas the second is a real-time real-life **case study** of the process, documented. Patrick is an ex-Muslim. The other two books on the topic are *also* by an ex-Muslim, ‘Sam Solomon’ (nom de plume): “The Mosque and Its Role in Society” and “Al Hijra: The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration”. Loads of references from the Islamic texts and their held-to-be-most-authoritative interpreters.
Islam worships Thanatos, oh yes. But at the same time, paradoxically, they are *all about* Power, Power, Power, which means they are also about seizing and holding this-worldly turf. One astute 19th century analyst said of Islam’s core ‘theology’ that it was “a pantheism of Force”. (Which is probably why so many Nazis, after the fall of the Third Reich, scuttled off to the Dar al Islam and warbled the Shahada; it wasn’t so difficult, they were just changing gears from one form of glorified thuggery to another).
which is why I agree with you re shutting down mosques (indeed, I would argue, *destroying*; unless they were in originally-infidel heritage premises that could be restored to non-Islamic function) in the west (or, for that matter, it would be something for the Indians and the Israelis to consider) every time there is a jihad terror attack on western – or Indian, or Israeli – soil. If, every time they attack here, they *LOSE* territory, it would give them pause.
Jura says
Because this attack was not committed by guns, it means European
#guncontrol is a lucid success.

Jura, the truck was not the only weapon used here. The Jihadist also opened fire on the crowd, and the truck was full of armaments.
But I take your point–anything can be used as a weapon, and “gun control” hardly renders these Jihadists toothless.
vcragain says
To all those who are really angry at Obama & others who keep wondering why the person did this ‘terrible act’ – you need to realize the position they are in – they actually cannot say ‘we are at war’ – or – we will BE at war. I am sure that will come before very long, but the very act of acknowledging this as war turns the situation into a completely different scenario and requires public discussion & determination of how to deal with an ENEMY.. That will immediately make ALL Muslims into enemies, which will cause a terrible blowback from the nuts in our midst ! – THAT is why the talk is so careful & they downplay the situation – because they know that some people will immediately be out on the streets brandishing their guns – that is why we need to be fearful in the US – because we HAVE so many of those NUTS !!!!! I also fear we are about to put Trump into the White House because of this ! Hope you are ready for your money to pay for the new gold-plated ceilings in his White House ! Tacky is the word for him ! Watch him install all his kids into important slots – ‘we’ is how his son describes their push for power ! NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David A says
You appear confused, but certain of what Trump will do. Are you going to vote for Hillary. I think stealing a couple of hundred thousand dollars worth of furniture from the White House is tacky. And that is not speculation without merit, a it happened.
Regarding your theory that we cannot tell the truth because wackos will go nuts. It is illogical. First off they are apparently not so wacko as you think, as currently Muslims are persecuted far less then Jews, and these “nuts” KNOW we are in war now with the last empire religion of antiquity. They do not need the O to tell them. Truthfully they are far more likely to go “off the rails” by actions such as the O takes, leaving rational nuts feeling desperate for a reasonable response to unmitigated murder and violence.
There was a recent point by point plan published at this web site on how to combat Islamic terror. I agree whole heartedly with every point outlined. If it was enacted the “nuts” you fear would be far less likely to take armed response outside of the framework of legal war.
TH says
If the powers that be, the elites, realized what the Qur’an orders Muslims to do, then they should start monitoring mosques, and closing them down. IN fact, some 75% of them in North America teach jihad. It is an essential part of Islam. There should be a ban on all mosque building, especially that financed by Saudi Arabia. The Qur’an should be declared a book which incites terrorism, not banned. Muslims who wish to live in peace and renounce jihad should be allowed to live in peace, but there is also the possibility that they become pious or devout, which means that they start to take the religion or the cult seriously. Once that happens, then there is danger on the horizon. From the National Security point of view, NATO should be reengineered, and made ready to fight jihad not Russia. The West needs to agree with Russia on this are they are in it also. Of course, the jihadis know that once they try to do anything in Russia, there will be no mercy from Putin. Force, that is the only thing they understand.
dumbledoresarmy says
To repurpose NATO, first of all, kick *Turkey* OUT.
And iInvite Israel to join, and to share their valuable experience. They have two people – Mordechai Kedar and Raphael Israeli – who have made a detailed study of Islam and jihad.
Those two scholars, deeply versed in Islam – and they know Arabic – could brief *every* NATO general and head of state and defence minister.
Baucent says
What they can do is declare war on ISIS. West friendly muslims (like the King of Jordan) wouldn’t have a problem with that. No, the Obama administration’s reluctance to do just that is more about Obama’s world view, than NUTS on the streets.

vcragain,, your post reminds me of the old adage that if a woman admits her husband is unfaithful, society will require her to take steps to stop it or leave him. therefore, ignorance is bliss. Otherwise, she will “Lose face.” It is not fake reluctance on Obama’s part, it is refusal to reject his own religious obligations , i.e. to eliminate all religions which do not worship Allah, of which of course, there is only one: Islam. Personally, I see no reluctance. I see refusal to be faithful to his Oath of Office, mainly to “Defend…. from all enemies, foreign and domestic,” of which we now seem to have both, .due to his faith in Islam and his actions to protect it As long as he and his ilk are in control of this country, and do not be surprised if he declares Martial Law and cancels the upcoming election in order to remain in control, the betrayal will not end. .

I am sure that will come before very long, but the very act of acknowledging this as war turns the situation into a completely different scenario and requires public discussion & determination of how to deal with an ENEMY.. That will immediately make ALL Muslims into enemies, which will cause a terrible blowback from the nuts in our midst ! – THAT is why the talk is so careful & they downplay the situation – because they know that some people will immediately be out on the streets brandishing their guns – that is why we need to be fearful in the US – because we HAVE so many of those NUTS !!!!!

I am hardly an uncritical fan of Donald Trump, as I have noted here many times.
But the idea that nepotism and a (potential) tacky makeover of the White House is the real threat to us, and that escalating homicidal Jihad terror attacks are not. is just bizarre.

to VCRAgain, who sez – “I also fear we are about to put Trump into the White House because of this ! Hope you are ready for your money to pay for the new gold-plated ceilings in his White House ! Tacky is the word for him!”
You suggest that Trump has some history of doing things like this. “gold plated ceilings at taxpayers’ expense” sort of shenanigans. He does not.
I suppose you’ll be voting for Hillary, fearing gold plated ceilings as you do (agreed this is a very serious consideration in deciding whom to vote for. Very thoughtful, sensible…(sarc/OFF)
Unlike Trump, Hillary and her husband DO have a history. They actually attempted to steal the furniture when they vacated the WH, leaving it a shambles, hopefully for the last time.
more: “Watch him install all his kids into important slots – ‘we’ is how his son describes their push for power ! NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!” How would you have son Don Jr express his filial support for his father? “They”?? Thought you lefties were all about “we”.

We ARE at war…. since islam declared war on us, 1400+ years ago. Your post is drivel and gibberish.
Jerry says
Undocumented mainly young adult male Islamic Jihaddi “refugees welcome”.
The Obamination in the Whitewash House offers to help France investigate
the attack in view of his personal previous experience in “investigating the Fort Hood
Massacre and pretending that it was simply “workplace violence”.
Tunisia is a predominantly Muslim country, yet, following only two Jihadi Terror
attacks they summarily closed down more than eighty mosques where Jihadi
terror was preached.
Since the beginning of this century there have been at least nineteen documented
Islamic Jihaddi attacks in France with hundreds of innocent victims dead and
many more injured.
Not one mosque preaching Islamic Jihaddi hatred iolence and murder was closed
Mark Swan says
Ironic Isn’t it Jerry—that is an intersting point about Tunisia
Rob says
At least Hollande said Islamic Terrorism in his speech. This is something Obama wouldn’t do.
Then again, Hollande has the spectre of Marine le Pen and the 2017 elections blowing up his shorts. He’s gotta look tough or le Pen will mow him down.
Obama is looking more and more like some aging lothario who realises his tired old wooing isn’t cutting it any more.
What he does though is double down with the autocue rhetoric in the hope of re- establishing his reputation.
What a sad pathetic figure he will represent by January.

Well , this will be cut off on the White House web site , as usual . There will be a 8 seconds cut .

Visiting the websites of Le Monde, Le Figaro and Liberation, one can see firsthand the delusional posture that pervades France vis-a-vis Islamic terrorism — the headlines inform us that three days of national mourning have been declared, and, that the previously declared “state of emergency” has been extended by three months.
What France needs is not three days of utterly worthless mourning, but, three days of action — sober and serious strategizing to deal with the Islamic threat within its borders, a threat that has been enabled by a disastrous and suicidal immigration policy.
As far as the state of emergency, the fact that it was scheduled to be lifted, prior to this attack, tells me that the powers-that-be there are naive beyond belief. France should be in a permanent state of emergency! The Charlie Hebdo massacre, the Bataclan Theater massacre, the attacks in Brussels, the Orlando nighclub massacre — these events haven’t been instructive enough to inform the politicians that Europe is now engaged in an existential struggle for its own survival? The naivete and delusion on display simply beggar belief. It’s staggering, the stupidity and lack of urgency at work.
Carmel says
Le Monde , Figaro and Liberation newspapers are subsidised between 25 % and 40 % by french (socialist ) government. You can rely on them for true speaking. They don’t sell copies so state support them. Can they criticise government which maintain them in life?

The warning signs were there for all the French to see years ago: remember the violent car-burning riots in the country’s Muslim neighbourhoods years ago? Every little perceived insult to a Muslim with Mohammed’s Narcisstic Personality Disorder seems to give them permission to go out and rob, kill, maim and destroy any person or thing representing the Kuffar Enemy.
Get ready for the narcissistic Muslim leadership to make a public statement about the proverbial “backlash” – which is frankly what Islam needs. The western world needs to treat Islam as it treats Nazism – make it illegal.
Jay Boo says
Islam is not even a religion.
Step 1: Should be to define Islam for the public in all its sordid ‘glory’
Step 2: Ban the seditious political ideology of Islam using Step 1 to justify
Step 3: Bulldoze every mosque
Step 4: Enforce Step 2 with prison and mass deportations if needed
Guy Jones says
This is what would happen in a country and a civilization that valued its survival and its defence. Alas, political correctness, theological/historical ignorance and multiculturalist moral relativism rule the day and shape domestic security policies.
R Cole says
If you think about the accusations of ‘Islamophobia’ or ‘anti-Islam ideology’ that flow in the wake of a heinous attack. While at the same time there is almost no examination or blame placed on the ‘Islamic ideology’ that inspires those who carry out such attack.
::
What could Obama say at this point. He is now laying the ground work for similar attacks on the US in years to come – with his Muslim led immigration policy. He is dotting Muslim communities – from the most volatile regions – across America.
In my opinion Hollande is failing his people. After the Charlie Hebdo attacks – the gave only lip service to the ‘Je suis Charlie’ because the real focus was on stopping ‘Islamophobia’ or stopping ‘Charlie’.
It is likely that European leaders have been following Obama’s lead on Islam – one based on a fantasy.
Obama might have been around Muslims but he was never made to practice it. His Islam is made up!!
Get Proactive
Most EU Muslims of North Africa origins have dual citizenship. If they are in any way engaged in so-called hate speech – where they are preaching intolerance against those who don’t follow Islam or advocating for Islamic sharia in place of French law – they should be stripped of their French or EU citizenship and returned home.
Every time there is an Islamic attack – we always feel confident that this is the last one and it never is. Europe needs to be far more proactive.
::
This was Bastille Day – the day France celebrated their freedom and this attack was aimed squarely at that!! Do the get rid of Bastille Day because it offends Islam? No we say we are free and we mean it.

Yes–this was specifically an attack on French *freedom*.

Obama is trying to trick France.

This is way too complex that it needs investigation according to Hussein Obama. He must be thinking this was due to drunk driving. As a part of the investigation, he will be questioning why the authorities did not breathalyse the driver before shooting him.
Jerry says
Surely, following “Brexit”, sane French should demand “Fraxit”

irrevocably renounce all Jihaddi and genocidal Suras of the
Quran and Hadith.
LF says
The truck driver was killed by a woman.
No magic land for him full of virgins to molest.
Just an eternal lake of fire in another magic land.
He mustn’t of liked it here on earth with the tooth fairy, father Christmas and the magic women who miraculously conceive.
Why didn’t someone tell him about the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
In fact we should tell all would be jihadists about that pot of gold, they’re clearly that developmentally challenged they would believe us and spend the rest of their moronic existences searching for it. Maybe they could buy some virgins with the gold.
Wether extreme or moderate, relegion, isn’t for grown ups. It’s a nice spin to tell a child that granny has gone up into the sky or your pet hamster is in a special place with 72 little virgin hamsters waiting for him.
Eventually the penny has to drop, I’d say about the same time as the bombshell about santa being make believe is a good time.
Abolish Religious Education in High Schools.
There is no God!
Western Canadian says
Ah yes, another worthless low church atheist comes by, to spread his ignorance, bigotry and hatred…. That others do not believe as you do, is a credit to their good sense and superior minds… That you represent the only belief system that can compete with islam (RTC) for bloody hemorrhagic slaughter of those who believe differently, only adds to the absurdity of your post. isalm (RTC) has butchered over 280,000,000 ‘others’, averaging a paltry 20,000,000 per century. Atheism has managed to succeed in achieving the rate of butchery of 5 centuries of muslim butchery, in a single century. Now, you must really be proud of such a successful application of YOUR belief system, It must warm the cockles of what passes for your heart, to know that YOU and those like YOU, are so successful in eliminating the impediments to the global application of YOUR belief system. And you standing up and screaming, foam flecks spitting out at mach speed, that ‘there is no god’, is not an argument, merely an assertion, from an uncommonly ill informed and weak mind.

Alarmed Pig Farmer says
On the bright side, Prez Barack Hussein used the words “terrorist attack” to describe this particular Jihad mass murder operation. On a down note, fast rising news entertainment star Megyn Kelly revealed that her yoga instructor is a Moslima and asked a guest if there should be concern about blowback against Moderate Moslems (Unicorns), and superstar Bill O’Reilly called for Congress to officially declare war against ISIS. Not Islam, but ISIS, which he then noted was fast losing territory in the Levant, in reference to WaPo’s article this week.
We’re making progress. The question is in which direction. Whichever, we have a new normal. There’s a rhythm to it all now.

Luke says
I just had to watch a nauseating interview on Spanish TV, with Isabel Romero, president of the Islamic Junta of Spain, who said, with a straight face on national TV:
“Amongst all the religions, Islam is the most peaceful.” She mentioned how repugnant she found it when critics took verses of the koran “out of context”. She went on to say that Mohammed had condemned violence when he said “Kill one man and it will be like you killed the whole world”. She didn’t give that quote any context. Happily though, she reported that islamophobia is a very minor problem in Spain. Well, that’s a relief.

Proposals to minimize probability of death-by-jihad (based on historical events):
1) Avoid sporting events (Boston marathon, Paris soccer stadium bombings)
2) Avoid discotheques (Paris and,Florida disco massacres)
3) Avoid celebration of national holidays (Bastille day massacre)
4) Avoid holiday gatherings (San Bernardino Christmas party)
5) Freedom of speech is not protected (Paris Hebdo massacre, Plano Texas attack)
6) Heightened risk during Ramadan?
7) Avoid public transportation (numerous attacks on jets, buses, etc)
8) Avoid travel and crowds on anniversaries of prior jihad massacres.
This list is a work in progress, and Mr. Spencer is invited to add his learned comments.

Avoid traffic jams
Avoid shopping
Avoid going to church or synagogue

Mark Berlinger says
Sudden Jihad Syndrome
is when a Muslim decides to take Islam very seriously.
Have you ever wondered why authorities pause and wait a few hours before releasing the names of terrorists when they know the name almost immediately? The wait allows half of the news audience to move on to something else.
David M says
Yes, and they won’t name him as a Muslim, even though everyone knows he is. They did go out of their way to say one of the first people he ran over was a Muslim woman though, as if to say that meant something. Here’s more about Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel here, I’m getting tired of the media in Australia saying his motive is not known.

Muslims have no trouble killing other Muslims.
If they are deemed lax Muslims–if, for instance, they were attending an Infidel celebration–then they are “Murtads” and deserve to die.
If they are devout Muslims accidentally killed, then they go directly to Paradise, and the Jihadist has done them a favor.
Either way, no problem for the Jihadist…

I’m sad to say it, but this just proved that a truck in the hands of a terrorist is as deadly, maybe more deadly than an AR15. It also destroys the argument you can terror proof a community by taking away guns. 84 dead, 100 injured, one delivery truck.

Very true. Muslims will *always* find a way to kill.
Moreover, this Jihadist *was* armed–he fired into the crowd. And the truck was filled with other weaponry.

Spencer makes an excellent point. The fact that Obama “condemns” this attack reveals a certain tone deafness. Imagine if a police chief made an announcement after a serial killer had killed an 80th victim: “I utterly condemn this killing.” It’s an utterly superfluous statement. Could there be any doubt that serial murder is to be condemned? It’s a bit as if Obama had been listening to a lunatic in the public square saying the moon is made of green cheese, and then Obama felt it necessary to go on tv and announce solemnly to all, “This statement is false.” I mean, is that really in question for the public?

ronyvo says
The Muslim-in-Chief offered help ‘investigating’ the who is responsible for this attack, which is one of ongoing attacks by MUSLIMS around the world. It is an obvious fact, which does not need any investigating. BHO’s intention is clear, at least to me, he intends to get the French authorities confused and link them away from ISLAM. He is the most dangerous individual in world’s history. That is not due to any intelligence, but for the mere fact, which is Americans put him in power of the most powerful country in the world. And he is taking full advantage of this position for the benefit of Islam and Muslims to satisfy his utter hate to our country.
Stuart says
If the cops wouldn’t have killed this combatant then they could have tortured him at length to extract as much info as they liked. Death is what these soldiers desire, sort of like the most devoted Japanese kamikaze pilot, just disgustingly more fanatical. But then the outcry if inhumane treatment from lothsome sympathizers.
If it’s war then shut the borders, and every identifier with this enemy combatant must be captured, placed into a barbed wire fence containment zone, and the enemy attacks within the country should stop. A declaration of WAR has to be made, and anyone protesting the containment of the enemy will be detained. It is war and a nation must act accordingly.
Rob Porter says
“In reality, there is no need for an investigation, because the jihadi’s motive is obvious. There needs to be an admission that we are in a full-scale war — not just lip-service as Cazeneuve offers below, but a genuine acknowledgment, followed by a genuine war footing, and an end to the weepy memorials, empty condemnations, and po-faced get-nowhere investigations. This is not crime. This is war.”
So well said, Robert.
Ray M says
If imam Obama is ready to offer any assistance in the investigation. Look out he is just going to hide the truth from the US and the rest of the world if the investigation uncovers anything to do with Islam, just like the twin towers report. It has only been 13 years that the report has been hidden from the world. Because it could make his boss’s in Saudi Arabia look bad. And for the Hildabeast she is just thankful for Islamic terrorist around the world. Because as the people are upset about and thinking of all the victims in France they are not thinking about her committing perjury. And if her emails was not such a big deal why would she lie about them over and over? Perjury under federal law may face up to five years in prison and fines.
I am so sick of hearing that Islam is peace loving. Give it up already, it is to late. That door closed a long time ago.
The only hope for USA and the rest of the world is Donald Trump.
Roxy says
Even with the genius of 0bama and his sharp team of experts helping investigate, I doubt we’ll ever know why this happened. One thing we do know, however, is that it had absolutely nothing, I mean NOTHING, to do with Islam.
