JJ...it is debateable if any free society like ours in Britain can prevent any terrorist attack like Paris. Its not a very pleasant thought but if they want to commit attacks like this, they can and they will.
Yes
Sadly I doubt its possible to have enough security to prevent such an attack JJ.
IT would have been easier for the security services before Snowdon/Guardian set us back. I see one of the terrorists last night was registered as a Refugee from Syria in Lesbos in October. How do we know how many terrorist suspects are flooding over into Europe along with genuine Refugees?

The short answer is that we don't .

Couldn't we detain the suspicious looking one's until after Christmas?
anyone carrying a Guardian is obviously suspect (as a lot of ABers have pointed out from time to time). It's probably the Isis equivalent of a secret handshake.
Eeek! I bought a Guardian in town today!
God I hope so but doubt it. It may be wishful thinking or very naive but I do think the UK security forces might have handled what happened in France with less casualties s an outcome.
Tilly, it might be wise to cover your face with a burk.... no, on second thoughts, don't, just put the paper down and back away slowly with your hands in the air.
I had my hood up, jno. No one saw me.
phew. You could always have told the security forces you were only buying it for the crossword, but that would just have prompted them to look for suspicious anagrams.

Christmas 2065. Although we don't have the security to prevent any random unplanned attack, we do have the means to raze Mecca or wherever. Perhaps a demonstration is required.
1ac would have stumped 'em.
Unfortunately, as Mikey suggests, it is impossible to prevent such atrocities.

What annoys me though is that the threat from Islamic extremists has been evident for some time. Yet STILL Europe allows tens of thousands of Muslims to enter the EU week after week to be allowed unfettered access to all areas. It may be true (though nobody knows for sure) that the vast majority of Muslims allegedly fleeing to safety are not terrorists. However, as these events have shown, some of them are. The terrorists must be laughing all the way to heaven at Europe’s utter stupidity. Yes many of those involved in terrorism have been in Europe for some time. But that’s no reason to increase the threat by allowing still more in.

I notice that M. Hollande was quickly “whisked away to safety” from his seat in the VIP Box at the Stade de France. Around 130 (and counting) others across Paris were not so lucky. No doubt had this happened in Germany Frau Merkel (who foolishly announced that Germany would welcome allcomers during the summer) would be similarly treated. These politicians need to understand that Europe is under invasion. Not exclusively by terrorists I accept, but the effect is profound and events like this make people wonder just what their politicians are playing at.

The root of all this is European nations (together with the US) interfering in countries that should not be their concern, trying to impose “democracy” on those nations when they clearly are not equipped to deal with it. They should mind their own business. Having said that, I’m not entirely sure that events such as this would not have happened even if Iraq, Libya, Egypt, Syria and all the other hell holes in the Middle East had not been subject to the West’s interference.

The terrorists will not ultimately win (if indeed they know what their objectives are). But they will inflict enormous damage in the meantime. I am a little tired of hearing about how “peace loving” most Muslims are. Many of them may be, but a significant number are not and when you know that Grizzly Bears may bite you (even though some of them may be as harmless as Yogi Bear and Boo-Boo) you don’t allow more Grizzly Bears into your lounge.

// its an invasion from a 5th century mindset//
Aided and abetted by a left wing liberal 5th column.
Rubbish Togo. Being left wing doesn't mean that you support these atrocities.

Cameron himself said that he wants to bring in more refugees and he is hardly left wing is he ?
They arrested someone in Germany as part of a traffic spot check. The boot of the car was full of weapons etc. They now believe they were destined to support the Paris attack.

It is logistically easier to move weapons around mainland Europe because of the open borders. It gives a wider base to procure and move these items unchallenged.

The UK is only saved by the fact we are an island and port of entries have security.
