Stop it with the religious debate and name calling. Let's stick to reporting the facts of this ongoing horrific situation.

All I'm asking for. Thanks!

Nothing like being opportunistic about the misfortune of others to push an agenda by making trite comments.

it's always sad to see people selfishly attempt to push agendas in the wake of national tragedies.

luckily, most people are able to put whatever differences aside and come together to show a shred of empathy and human decency. the #porteouverte hashtag immediately blowing up on twitter is a great example from people at ground zero itself. a public offering of shelter to any strangers stranded in the city? seeing things like that happen so quickly after tragedy is what makes social media special and shows the inherent good in humanity.

Well I guess it is not an atheist organization...

Very sad. Sporting events being targeted now. Thoughts are with everyone in France.

Number of casualties has risen to 40 from what I understand.
And nobody knows what the hell is going at the Eagles of Death concert, they might be killing them off in there.

You really have to wonder how long Europeans are going to put up with this kind of stuff in their countries. lest we forget, Europeans are the most ruthless, most efficient mass killers in human history. If they decide enough is enough, God help the Muslims in those countries.

Is this the first time France has closed its boarders, like, ever?

From Jessica Reed:

"At the Bataclan, France Inter journalist Antoine Giniaux says there
might be around 60 hostages - a lot of explosions have been heard from
inside the building over the last 20 minutes. Passersby are still held
in the street by the police and have nowhere to go.”

Since the Algeria war, IMO.

Might be wrong though.

I agree. But your "must be the "religion of peace"" comment right from the jump doesn't help. No need to sit here and make snarky comments about Islam then condemn the bickering.

This is a terrible situation. Hollande closing the borders... wow.

Gotcha. I just didn't know if France has closed its boarders before.

Yup....

witness was telling cnn how the terrorists were so calm and nonchalant about it - just reloading in silence then executing again.

absolutely sickening.
