My heart goes out to the innocent men, women and children of Iraq and Syria that are being burnt alive by constant bombing for months by america and its allies( incl. france). Violence begets violence and if the west terrorises other countries then it must expect that terror to blowback into their very own streets....

Roybash I want u to watch other side of the story I can show u stuff that people do than u'lle see second side of da story. Watch something called the arrivals u and who so eva reads this post. Its brainwashing and disguisting what they try to do there and its pretty obvious to which group came out with this. I'm not defending anyone but as a great man said give one person or group of people too much power and they'lle hang us and themselves unknowingly and without being to even stop us and themselves.

@kameshang, you asked the question what am I doing about the situation in RSA?
I was very actively involved in the Reservists as a senior rank, was the branch commander of a unit, I worked far more than the minimum hours required, often working close to 200 hours a month. Far more than necessary.

What am I doing now, certainly no longer with the reservists now, I have my own farm to look after now and the residents of the farm to keep safe. Yes before you ask, we have been victims of crime and we are still here fortunately.

Yes I do have sympathy for those injured and killed, do I feel sorry for France, NO. I have stated my reasons for that.

Savanna, yes I have seen and attended to bomb blast victim, I was one of the first on the scene at Magoos bomb blast on the Durban beach front, seen the injuries and the deaths. Not a nice site, you are far to young to even know what RSA went through with the bombings and mayhem that was caused.

France has now gone and bombed Syria now, are you sure that all those killed and injured are ISIS people? Do you feel sorry for those that are injured and killed?

We could go on and on about this and at the end of the day, nothing will change what has happened and guess what, what ever is said here will never change anything that will happen in the future.

As long as the ROOT CAUSES of this conflict are not addressed, these outrages will continue to be perpetrated.

And the ROOT CAUSES will never be discussed in the western media.
Weapons of Mass Deception are used to brainwash us.

A lot of Kak happened in the world this weekend, it disturbs me that Paris seems to hog the headlines and none of the other incidents received little or no coverage. Too many people died and too few received the worlds attention as they should have. Still in shock that the worlds monuments lit up in French colors while Lebanon, Kenya and Iraq all who also suffered at the hands of these pigs were ignored. A very clear message in terms of where the bread is buttered was sent this weekend and it's enough to shake your core...

Not true, not true at all. Yes, they maybe didn't receive the same headlines but there also a reason for that, media saturation in those areas and the relentless cycle of violence have created a media dead spot. Bombs going off in Lebanon is not new, sorry to say, Hezbollah have gotten themselves right in the middle of the Syria mess so it was pretty much expected. The UN has been in Naqoura for how many years ? So say there was no international response simply isn't true.
Lebanon has been told for years it needs to disarm the Palestinians camps, disarm Hezbollah. It never did that. Getting into the IS conflict was always going to bring this result yet they followed the will of Iran and now the people sit with the consequences.

Same for Kenya. Same for Iraq, the world was informed very clearly when IS started their reign of savagery and the media was ignored and the warning ignored because no-one wanted to be condemned for entering Iraq again. Politicians all over the world carefully polled their constituents and were clearly told "no"... Not again.

Africa and the Arab world all stated clearly they wanted no western involvement in their countries and the west complied for the most part, barring the usual spy games.
Take SA's handling of Darfur and the ICC for example... We have giving them impunity for genocide so no one is surprised any more when they behave with said impunity.

You want to talk about skewed reactions, Israel in the UN. It is the only country to have a permanent session dedicated to it in the HR council. In the last 10 years over 90% of resolutions are focused solely on Israel, last year the ratio was 27 to 4, those 4 included China, North Korea, Myanmar, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Yemen and the rest of the worst violators in history compared to 27 directly aimed at Israel. Countries that are violators know that they can get away with anything as long as they can focus on Israel because the world simply follows the misdirection. Same as the US, they get called out the world over for getting involved but then nobody mentions all the Russian made equipment being used by terrorists the world over such as the incredibly complex BUK missile system used to down the Malaysian airliner, that could only have been operated by the Russians, yet there is no outcry.

France is a country that has always supported freedom movements, having played host to Arafat for how long. It has a large immigrant population from the Middle East and has been very tolerant of them. They have done nothing to warrant this attack compared with a majority of the west, this is one of the reasons for the outcry. There is no active conflict in the country, no saturation, this is one of the reasons for the outcry. France has been taking as many of the Syrian refugees as it could and it was some these refugees who did this, this one of the biggest reasons for the outcry.
The backlash for this coming in Europe, it has to. The far-right are going to whip up such an anti-immigrant sentiment that it will shock everyone.

Aye, to be sure Deamonza.
Good man!

There is no root cause. Not in the way I think you mean. Maybe my view is skewed by years of living in these conflict zones.
What there is, is a political bastardisation of a religion... There is corruption in the Islamic system that allows an Imam to use his religion to corrupt the youth with impunity.
The practice of taqqiya is rife and well practiced unfortunately. In my own travels I have heard the term Dar el harb (spelling?) used to describe the non Muslim world far too many times, the meaning of this as I understand it is the "house of war". I have been called an infidel to many times to count, yet I would never consider calling a person of Islamic faith anything but their name or nationality. I.e.... that tall Iraqi chap or whatever his name is if I know it. Whereas I was almost always referred to as that tattooed infidel.

Until Islamic fundamentalists learn to recognize as us all as equals there will never be peace. I for one, can never submit as they would have me.

Who am I to contradict the worthy Mr Deamonza ?
By my troth no!
I won't .

The root cause is the brainwashing and promotion of intolerance through the Wahhabi/Salafi education system promulgated in the Madrassas financed by the oil revenues generated by Saudi Arabia. They should be encouraged to promote religious tolerance based on the "laka dinak wa li dini" principle.
