I am on site, the cops told us to run in the opposite direction
FOX is now saying that at least 80 people are dead, and they are pointing out that a large number of the dead are kids that were out with their parents to watch a fire works show. May the driver rot in hell discovering that his virgins are virgin demons who want him.
May G-d avenge their blood.
May the Imams who filled the driver’s head with Wahhabist bullshit rot in the special extra-bad part of hell.
I’ve always thought it would be good to see a cruise missile go right through one of these Imams front windows just as he’s sitting down to dinner. It’s the Salafist Imams who are actually responsible for all this horror. The suicide bombers are merely useful idiots for these truly evil monsters…
No, Chris. Those who actually do the deed are more than useful idiots. They’re fully guilty.
NOTHING mitigates atrocity. “The Imam brainwashed -” – “Dzhokhar’s older brother had “undue influence” over “the boy” – “He didn’t take his lithium -”
Now, the imams you describe are also fully guilty. There’s plenty of blame to go around.
I’d add others: those who sponsor or fund, those who cover or choose to misdirect inquiry, those who avert their eyes.
We could come up with quite a list of accessories to murder – the MSM, Soros, the Saudi King, etc. – for all the good it would do.
Muslim learns the truth about no paradise
[There’s a 3-sec ad to skip]
this is a hoax.
oh. sob, sob.
Oh, too bad. I thought I was watching the best movie ever made.
But seriously, I’ve met Muslims who feel pretty much like that about Muhammad Abdullah’s little cult. That’s how I feel, to be honest. After all, they didn’t ask to be born Muslim and then threatened with execution if they dared to ask questions…
If I were a Muslim I would be embarrassed by the fact that I had been taken in by such an impossibly stupid pack of lies. Imagine believing a guy who comes up to you and says that he’s just talked to the Angel Gabriel and, apparently, he’s the most perfect being ever created so now you have to do everything he says, including handing over the money and the really hot babes. How dumb can you get? How embarrassing to fall for such obvious nonsense…
Waiting for the media scramble to praise Moslems for issuing a resounding slap on the wrist for this latest ‘lone wolf’ “nothing to do with Islam” atrocity.
Slaughtering infidels pleases Allah. So simple, yet seems so complicated for our ‘leaders.’
NIce Matin is saying that the name of the terrorist was Lahouaiej Bouhlel, last time was in Tunisia 4 years ago, was married and had 3 kids.
about 100 Muslims from Nice went to Syria.
At the moment Germany started to control car traffic on the border France/Germany
84 people are dead.
