Car bombing were the original signature by al queda in Iraq
Box cutters,suicide vests,suicide boats, and suicide trucks,and suicide planes were AQ's 'Signature'.
9-11,USS Cole,Embassy bombings,The First World Trade Center Attack to name a few.
The 1983 Beirut barracks bombings were terrorist attacks that occurred on October 23, 1983, in Beirut, Lebanon, during the Lebanese Civil War when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon (MNF)—killing 241 U.S. and 58 French servicemen, six civilians, and the two suicide bombers. An obscure group calling itself 'Islamic Jihad' claimed responsibility for the bombings and that the bombings were aimed to get the MNF out of Lebanon.[

Concrete barriers will need to be brought in and set up before outside celebrations, going forward. Maybe in all countries, now that this one guy has planted a seed in the minds of radicals and nut-jobs everywhere.
Like the K-Rail barriers around DC and military base approaches now? I think they also have concrete baffles around arena venues too.

Well if you really want to get technical here.
The 1983 Beirut barracks bombings were terrorist attacks that occurred on October 23, 1983, in Beirut, Lebanon, during the Lebanese Civil War when two truck bombs struck separate buildings housing United States and French military forces—members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon (MNF)—killing 241 U.S. and 58 French servicemen, six civilians, and the two suicide bombers.

Can we even take a moment to absorb what's happened before we have to defend ourselves from each other? I guess not.
Stop it! Just fking stop it already. It has nothing to do with being PC or too sensitive or being afraid to hurt anyone's feelings. We are not going back to those days, what is hard to understand about this? We are not going back to internment camps and genocide. Why? Because we know it's wrong.
It was wrong to lock up Japanese citizens... just in case. It was wrong for Hitler to lock up and gas the Jewish. You all look at Muslims, don't correct me to Islam either you are not fooling anyone, like Nazi Germany looked at Jews. This is the unsaid "do what it takes"... beating around the bush does not protect you from whatever it is you think you are hiding it from.
And if that is the road you want to walk, you are as much the enemy as the radical Islamists, the radical terrorist whatever because you aren't interested in protecting freedom, you are only interested in protecting a world that is only free for you. You make me absolutely sick.
