Terrierists holding hostages in a hotel. Reports are the terrierists were shouting "Allahu Akbar" when they attached. Now who would have expected that?

I think the news media are showing their biases. They never seem to report the terrorists who sing "Onward Christian Soldiers" while they're slaughtering people.

*yawn* If it were in 'Murika, it would have been called 'workplace violence.'

It it were not for all the attention given to white privilege in France this would be reported as "It's Friday in western Africa".

Two different TV nooze groups are playing the "jihadist olympics" meme - Al Qeda claiming responsibility in an attempt to show they have not been overshadowed by ISIS.  There are claims of struggles for territory to assert dominance between the two.

But not to worry - Al Qeda is "finished" and ISIS is just the JV.

stay safe.

We've heard this before:

Gunmen spoke in English and tested hostages' knowledge of the Koran before allowing Muslim hostages to leave

Seems to me if the U.S. is determined to allow all those so-called "refugees" into the country, the prospective entrants should be tested on their knowledge of the Bible. Maybe recite the Lord's Prayer and the 23rd Psalm. Simple, Sunday school stuff, not heavy theology. Maybe throw in something from the Torah, or at least one of the Old Testament prophets.

With respect, I disagree.  We may be a Christian nation but we are not a nation of Christians.

Far better they be made to read selections from the Constitution (in the language of their choice) and the criminal section of the United States Code and explain those passages.

All this after living in a FEMA camp surrounded by mines and machine gun towers for a minimum of 3 years while they all (from 2 years to 102 years old) attend something resembling a basic introduction to assimilation program.  No need to try to slip spies in there - the troublemakers will self identify, and sooner rather than later.  Eliminate the concentration camp stigma by calling it a full-immersion settlement house program for recent immigrants.

Eliminates the need for special passes or RFID chips,, too.

I always knew that the pansy-ass liberal social work pap I had to endure to get initials after my name would come in handy one day.

stay safe.

Okay, how about just asking potential immigrants what bacon tastes like?
