Paris Shootings and Explosions

[Franklin99]

mmmm politics are complicated. And ISIS work in a way that the death of one becomes an instrument to recruite and get more followers.

It´s already confirm that it was an ISIS attack?

Nope!

I hope that they actually postpone the competition until Sunday and just cancel the Gala event instead. This way the organizers are given time to make the event safer, the athletes have a chance to process what is going on (I hope they make sports psychologists available for them to talk to), and for things to hopefully settle down.

found a couple of tweets claiming it is not canceled at least according to google translate.

Thank you, I'm away now for something work related but will return to Strasbourg, which is a small city and far from Paris, so I don't feel unsafe in any way. However, I can see tensions and problems in all of France because of the clash of cultures, views, class and yes race, not surprised it's come down to many disenfranchised French youths attracted to radicalism.

I wish more people understood that it's as much about feeling disenfranchised as it is about ideology, or maybe even more. I've heard some experts talk about how the reasons people join groups like ISIS are very similar to why they join gangs.

The first event of today doesn't start for another 5 hours, I think?

The ladies free skates will begin with a moment of silence for the victims.

that sounds about right. but as you pointed out practices would have started so i am not surprised a decision was made before the start.

I thought this tweet captured my sentiments perfectly, so I won't try to rephrase it.

And how do you know that these people who perpetrated the attack are not the refugees? Also majority of so called refugees are people from other countries not from Syria.

Thank you StitchMonkey. Are you referring to this:
Произвольная программа у женщин начнется с минуты молчания в памяти погибщих в результате теракта в Париже #ParisAttacks, #TEB15

per google translate:Free program for women will begin with a minute of silence in memory of the terrorist attack pogibschih in Paris #ParisAttacks, # TEB15

Has there been any actual announcement or tweet from the ISU or anyone in an official capacity with the event?

Maybe? All the links you are posting are from the same twitter account with 44 followers. Seems small to me. How do you know them, and where are they from?

Maybe we all should wait for official sources to tell if any group takes credit for the attack. We don´t win much casting blames.

I don't. I also don't speak Russian, so I though posting it hear to be dissected would be best. It is just all we have seen so far and may as well compile what we can since we don't seem to have much really specifically on TEB.

I know. Why so little info??

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.

Hmm, no. They do not want to establish "full world terror", they want to establish Caliphate. They also want to get more supporters by terrorizing the West and it seems to me that they are getting what they want. After all there was attack on Charlie Hebdo, there were attacks in USA (yup, some "lone wolf attacks" which were not a lone wolf attacks at all), attacks in Germany and so on and so forth. And the result?
West did nothing and more and more Muslims from Europe and USA and Canada and Australia went to fight for ISIS.

For awhile it made sense, but I thought we would hear *something* around the time practices started. Honestly even something like "we are proceeding with practices but have not made a final decision" would be nice, and not that difficult or burdensome. Who knows. I just hope whatever happens everyone is safe and the skaters get some kind of chance to safely skate a free skate.

According to @PiperGilles's tweet,rehearsals for FD will be held.

Yes, their agenda is to establish their own Caliphate by attacking everyone who doesn't agree with them, be it the West or other Muslims. I just heard in the local news that there is a group trying to gather other smaller terror cells in my region under IS and plan attacks in Southeast Asia.

Can you post a link to that tweet, please? I looked at Piper's twitter but couldn't find anything like that. Here it is:
