Paris Shootings and Explosions

[iluvtodd]

If the Islamic State is responsible for this, it shows how pitiful and low they are. Attacking innocent people to somehow fulfill their cause of establishing a world full terror. Absolutely disgusting. Repulsive and repugnant.

:agree: Absolutely horrific. ISIS must be totally wiped out!

Prayers & condolences for the families of the victims and France.

Can't believe they cancelled it! should have continued not letting the audience in!

Peace. I did provide the correct translation to the verse in reply a few pages back.

Here it is again: (2:190) "Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed Allah does not like transgressors." It is about self defense but not to fight for the sake of injustice.

Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.
But perhaps you give all of it 190 - 193

And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
And if they cease, then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Fight them until there is no [more] fitnah and [until] worship is [acknowledged to be] for Allah . But if they cease, then there is to be no aggression except against the oppressors.
**************
YUP, and the injustice is explained in Bukhari and others as everything which is bad for Muslims. After all what is Quran without the explanation and what is Islam without hadiths. Right?

See my edit above: as of four minutes ago at least one of the ladies thinks they will skate.

There is nothing on the official ISU pages yet either.

 

[tulosai]

Sounds like she's making ready to compete - if it is cancelled, clearly no-one has told her.

Unfortunately this is possible.

I will say there is still conflicting information out there. The most recent tweet from the ISU still says it is going ahead, but since that was published there has been other information that's come to light indicating that may have changed. I suppose best to wait to hear from the ISU again.

Either way we'll know for sure in an hour...

Interesting, because I have Brooklee Han in my Twitter feed and she only just favourited a tweet that said it was going ahead with a minute's silence.

I really hope it's not cancelled. We must not cower before evil. If the event was safe, then let it go on. Not to mention it opens a massive can of worms regarding the Grand Prix Final. It simply would not be fair to go on results of SP, or to wipe the GP completely.

EDIT:

This from Brooklee four minutes ago:

Huh. I wish we could just get a clear answer once and for all

GPF Barcelona just tweeted: Le trophée Bompard annulé sur décision des autorités. Suspendido el Trofeo Eric Bompard de patinaje pic.twitter.com/kdAj9KsKMF


TEB has been cancelled due to the decision of the authorities.

Just read on Euronews that all sports competitions in Paris region are suspended

 

[Mista Ekko]

Denis twitted again that the resolution will be announced soon, So i guess that makes his former twit irrelevant

 

[tulosai]

And the ISU Speaks

French authorities decided to cancel competition at #GPBordeaux #TEB15 today. ISU & FFSG acknowledge the decision.

 

[LisaM]

Are there any rules/regulations regarding cancellation of an event? What happens to the results?

 

[Lester]

Yes, now it's official

 

[karne]

So, they just let evil win...

What will they do about the GPF? They CANNOT use the SP result. It would not be fair at all.

 

[Reynnou]

We are outside the rink and the organizers (rink security and manegement) just told us that it's canceled

 

[Mista Ekko]

Well since the GPF in Marseille is over A YEAR from now, I don't understand why you think it should be moved. As if they won't do anything about the security. USA, UK, etc etc have all upped their security since their respective attacks, I think it's ignorant to assume France won't do the same.

It's been a year since Charlie Hebdo,
Still ignorant?

It hasn't been a year if you want to be exact, but I mean, considering 9/11 and yknow, Boston still happened...

 

[koatcue]

Russia cancelled the flights to France and from France, as I've heard..

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Guys, there has been a dedicated thread about the TEB being cancelled for nearly an hour.

http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?57280

I have already requested that all the comments in this thread that are specifically about the cancellation be moved over to the dedicated thread.

But, it would make life a lot simpler for whichever of the Mods is doing the move if the conversation did not continue on here as well for much longer.

Since there is to be no competition today, I am going to decamp to .

My wish upon the stars tonight is that when I wake up, Paris is safe for all its inhabitants, and there is no news of further attack. Goodnight.
