Well it was Hollande that knee jerked within an hour of the attacks and closed the borders...
What sort of message does that send to the Average Jaques on the street?
Others were bound to blame refugees.
Not to disagree but I was under the impression they shut the borders to stop people escaping.
Obviously it didn't work and some stayed behind.
Militants may have spent as little as $7,500 on Paris attacks
Other costs of the operation remain murky. For example, one of the suicide bombers at the Stade de France may have travelled on a Syrian passport under the name Ahmad Al Mohammad along a well-worn path of refugees fleeing to Europe through Greek islands.
Estimates of the cost of such a trip from the Syria-Turkey border through Greece - also not included in the Reuters calculations - vary widely.
Pulling together information from bus companies, a ferry company, a travel agent, police and a source at a voluntary relief organisation operating on the island of Leros, the cost of travelling from Turkey to the Macedonian border could start at 1,200 euros. That would be the cheapest option, using the kind of dinghies that have resulted in scores of refugee deaths and would not include the cost of forged documents.
For a sea crossing on a safer boat, with forged documents provided, the cost would rise to around 5,000 euros.
($1 = 0.9394 euros)

None of the terrorism in France was caused by any Syrians.
It was caused by French and Belgian born terrorists, even the one with the Syrian Passport which was stolen from a dead Syrian soldier (who was fighting ISIS).
Terrorists yell ‘For Syria’ during slaughter at Paris rock concert
French station BFM-TV said that one of the gunmen at the theater also shouted: “It’s for Syria.”
And a woman in the audience, identified only as Yasmin, told BFM, “I saw two guys. The biggest one said: ‘What are you doing in Syria? You’re going to pay now.’ Then he opened fire.

It originated with Richard Jeni, a stand up comedian.
His bit was:
Religious war? Now you are just killing people over who has the better imaginary friend
And he kind of stole it, but not really, from a young George Carlin who referred to god as peoples invisible friend.

When he died in 2007 that quote started getting attributed to a lot of world leaders, both present and past. It was attributed to Yasser Arafat all over the web in 2009/2010.

That is what everybody want sir, a safe place and prospects for a future.
The refugees and immigrants are not different from us.
With your statement you seem to say, they are all extremists and out to harm us.

You need to read your own posts slower is the problem. Making up stories IS propaganda, especially if one of those stories is attempting to swing an election. (E.G. Dan Rather) The issue here is your hypocritical stance.

Thanks. Reports do keep coming in - still not clear if the passport was stolen or not though. Reuters says a bit at the end of this article.

I said it wasn't done by any Syrians, what you have posted does not dispute that.

Super interesting how you join the site, then come into threads and post so many times that you essentially take over a thread so anyone going to the end will only see an entire page of your opinions. Literally a whole page in some instances. I currently have3 different threads on 3 different topics in myats right now that all have you as the last 4+ posts on each thread, after entering with flammable opinions. Coincidence?
