You obviously made your choice in what you are going to believe. You cite a reference and choose to believe it while fabricating fantasy about how other people's sources cant be trusted. You choose to ignore the numerous sources now reporting what happened and can not acknowledge that perhaps not everyone heard/saw the same thing. If it doesn't fit your personal view it simply cant be real. I leave you to your fabricated world. I prefer to live in the real one, even with atrocious acts of savagery like this...
I am flipping through the channels and I am disturbed by the number of people I see telling the world to be careful not to blame all of islam for the acts of a few extremists, "IF" that is who did this. That bothers me. No one starts out on the far side of extreme and tones it down to the level of an extremist. Every extremist passed through the stage of moderate on the way to becoming extreme. Today's moderate could be tomorrow's suicide bomber. When is it ok to err on the side of caution?
Ah, I see now what your agenda is in all of this.
Please, point out the part where I fabricated fantasy?
Do you also persecute christians because of the actions of a few? How do you feel about the crusades? Or the Bosnian genocide that occurred during the 90's?
You accuse me of ignoring "facts" because they do not fit my "personal agenda". Yet you say you are disturbed by the number of people who are smart enough not to let their views on religion be tarnished by the extremist minority. Do you hate all religions equally, or is it just Islam you have a problem with?
Edit - I actually did acknowledge that not everyone would have heard or seen the same thing. This is evident in my statement that different people react different ways to high-stress situations.
Yet you accuse me of being the one who only sees what I want to see?
People freak out in intense situations and some completely lose their **** altogether. They imagine things that didn't even happen. This is common knowledge, I don't even know why I have to explain this. So I'm going to side with the guy who's been reporting news since 2009, and has probably been trained not to freak out in these situations.

Ok, so homegrown terrorism, yet, the first second the assassin gets he lets it be known he's Syrian ISIS.
Let's all just rationalize the irrational.
The west spends half a decade and billions if not trillions in Syria in a proxy war to oust Assad. The west never intended to stabilize Syria, on the contrary, what was happening is as it should. Which also gives the west context for the boogeyman ISIS. Russia uses the West's propaganda machine against them and uses the context of ISIS as an excuse to assist Assad.
Naturally the west is angered. The downing of a Russian passenger plane was no accident, nor was the death of Putin's confidant in DC. Bad Russia!
Now how does the west get back in the game. I mean after all, are we going to walk away from trillions in spent booty and give a very strategic location to Russia unabated? No, of course not.
But, here's the rub. The western populace sees Russia in the right so what can the west do? Simp,e, change the way they look at it. Make it personal.
This personal enough?
Pages of reading says yes.

www.france24.com... cker-paris-concert-hall-shouted-allahu-akbar-fired-crowd-witness
I know what I heard and I found other news articles that repeated it. I believe there is an effort to hide that particular part of the reporting now.
Now one article says they shouted, "...slogans condemning France's role in Syria" but does not elaborate on what was actually said. Shouting slogans condemning France's role in Syria seems like a lot of work to do while gunning down hundreds of innocent victims.
There have been numerous threads and quotes here at ATS already about news agencies not reporting the whole story on violence by islamist's, especially the recent rash of immigrants in Europe. I don't think we are getting the whole story here.
Why are you staying so silent all of a sudden?
Come back and engage in healthy debate.

So you do not want to end ISIS? I am regardless of everything else.
One of the biggest flaws with conspiracy theorists is their tendancy to try and link ideas with loose affiliations not based on fact but rather opinions and gut feelings. Such are usually manipulated emotions the theorists cant even peecieve. If you think that somehow you found the secret way of avoiding social programming just becsuse you entertain crazy ideas then you are mistaken.
The west doesnt need excuses

Am I the subject of discussion?
I could say the same to you. Without people saying things with no logical thought behind them the chaos would not be nearly as useful.

They used kalashnikovs because for Europe the closest black market for weapons are former soviet countries.
And it is an established fact by now that this happened because France bombed Isis.
I really don't know why anyone could blame this on russia? Or why you call this false flag?
Both religions of peace, right? All I'm saying is, persecute all religions equally, or piss off. Because none of them are blameless. Except maybe buddhism.

Well the g20 meeting is now and of course this will have consequences!
But since moskow already promised they will help France, i still can't see how this fits your cold war story?
