A french reporter who escaped from Bataclan says that attackers weren't masked and just started firing for 10-15 minutes.

How?? This is ISIS. So yeah you can figure out how they justify it.

I think one did, claimed he was from Syria and ISIS.

You reap what you sow. There financial support to these terrorists won't be forgotten. ISIS just didn't pop out of nowhere. The media will make out this incident more important than the almost daily massacres that occur in Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and the Beirut bombings that just occurred yesterday.

My heart goes out for the innocent no matter where they are terrorized. But there blood is not more worthy or valuable then our women, children and families. Don't misunderstand my last sentence. What I'm trying to say in some minds people think some human beings from the west think there lives are more precious or of more value than human beings in the Middle East.

When a terrorist attack happened yesterday which took the lives of about 50 people with hundreds injured in Beirut where was all the shock and outrage from the media and governments? Now that it happens in somewhere in the Europe like Paris its treated different right? And both bombings were done by the same people.

At the end of the day terrorism has no religion and knows no boundaries.
Probably because France is a 1st world country, thus it feels 'close to home' and we can relate to it more, hence it's more shocking. But yeah I guess I get what you mean.

Even if they did let a few bastards in, while horrible and unfortunate, you would rather 999,000 innocent men, women and children be left to suffer and starve on the streets like stray cats because their homes are being torn to pieces by decisions way out of their control? I fail to see how that would solve anything.
