On the day after the attacks, the media narrative was one of a confused and deranged man snapping and committing heinous acts of murder against his fellow citizens. They left out the part that he’s from Tunisia or the fact that he did this in the name of his God, on behalf of the most violent religion in the history of mankind. There were numerous stories about how bad of a muslim he was. By golly, he ate pork, had homosexual proclivities, and drank a lot of booze. Therefore, he couldn’t possibly be a soldier of ISIS.
Prosecutor Francois Molins said the five suspects currently in custody face preliminary terrorism charges for their alleged roles in helping the 31-year-old in the July 14 attack in the southern French city.
Molins’ office, which oversees terrorism investigations, opened a judicial inquiry Thursday into a battery of charges for the suspects, including complicity to murder and possessing weapons tied to a terrorist enterprise.
The suspects are four men two Franco-Tunisians, a Tunisian and an Albanian and one woman of dual French-Albanian nationality.
“Investigations have not only confirmed the premeditated nature of the attack, but allowed us to establish that (Bouhlel) had support and accomplices in the preparation and execution of his criminal act.”
Examination of the terrorist’s mobile phone showed he had taken pictures at a Bastille Day fireworks display in Nice last year, as well as on a concert on the Promenade des Anglais on July 17, 2015.
On April 4, another Tunisian, Chokri C, 37, had sent Bouhlel a Facebook message reading: “Load the truck with 2,000 tonnes of iron… release the brakes my friend and I will watch.”
Hours after the attack, the same man filmed the bloody scene on the promenade.
There’s the truth. This was a well thought out plan, something that was discussed and strategized for more than a year, by agents of ISIS. Anything to suggest otherwise is a bald faced lie.

The single most deadly invention man ever created was religion.
and dumbest
+1. But it was meant to control the barbarians, right? Little did they know that control mechanism would be corrupted to produce dangerous ideologies. The root of all this is the evil of man.
+2. The evil of man is the root.

You can’t be too harsh on religion: it’s just an excuse used by @ssholes. Haters gonna hate, and religious haters are going to say, “God told me to.” Been happening for centuries, and today there are even violent, murdering **Buddhist** today.
BTN, my greatest regret in life was waiting till my 30s to investigate the Christian claim. Of course, freedom of conscious and freedom of thought are fundamental to Christianity; you could never force or coerce someone to be a Christian. Islam is so different, it is a fundamental tenant of Islam to force conversion by threat of death. I am not sure we should lump all religions together.
t.c.,
Europeans DID force people to convert by the threat of death when they were colonizing in past 500 years. Heck even Protestants and Catholics (both Christian) were killing each other over religion.
However, religion is a personal view, and so other than a few very basic tenets, there’s not much you can tell about a person’s beliefs and morals just by knowing what their religion is.
As an example, I’ve had Muslim friends and they’ve never tried to convert me at all, much less threaten me. It was a total non-issue, just as it was with my Christian,Jewish, and Atheist friends.
That said, besides being illegal, banning ALL muslims (or even simply alienating them) is a stupid strategy, as we need moderate Muslims to keep the psycho ones in check.
BTN, that is a very eloquent response. I am not aware of any Protestants forcibly converting people, and it would be close to the ultimate hubris is this happened. As to whether both Protestants and Catholics are both Christian is a very contested issue that I won’t pretend to offer an opinion on.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with limiting Muslim immigration. The ideology of Islam is one of conquest, deception, and violence. It is very brutal in it’s treatment of woman and of non-Muslims. It’s comes with Sharia law, which is a built in political system that is completely at odds with our constitutional system of democratic government. Muslims are actively engaged in murdering people of all races in all parts of the world in order to spread the the faith. They have been killing our fellow Americans, in the US, all year.
I respectfully disagree and personally think that Christianity could not be more different.
