That's how the cells work. Recce soft targets, have a comms infrastructure and weapons cache in place and ready to go at short notice.

The verses in the Koran are not the reason for radicalization.
Sleeper cells exist everywhere, and that's the scary thing. This is never going to stop.
RIP to those who perished in these barbaric attacks
It's a scary world we live in and changes need to happen sooner rather than later, though, i think it's too late for that.

And, from their point of view, attacks on Muslim countries.
Lets not also forget that these people kill other Muslims, for which there is certainly no justification in the Quran.
Safe assumption.
Out of interest is this an area you have worked in or have you just done a lot of research?

Jesus. Sit down for a nice meal and end up riddled with bulletholes. How cruel is life sometimes.

R.I.P.
I think France has similar issues to us as regards Islamic slums leading to radicalisation of youths. That and the much easier access to weaponary means these sorts of things can be expected to happen on a regular basis now over there.
Plus there will no doubt be hundreds of ISIS returning from Syria with the intention to wage war over here effectively.
That's what they want though isn't it?
Not that it's important, but apparently the concert is Eagles of Death Metal, so expect a lot of dead young people.
By blood or by gold - that's how Islam was spread.
Sounds like it's going to be a bad one, Mumbai attacks in 2008 demonstrated that a small independent cell is capable of doing a lot of damage in a relatively simple to plan attack with minimal resources. Can easily be planned in any heavily populated area with a lot of foot traffic and by the time the emergency services respond, even if minutes there will be significant casualties.
This is something that's been demonstrated in a number of lone shooter incidents in US and even here recently with Cumbria shootings which left 13 dead. Now bear in mind in the latter the perpetrator wasn't even shooting indiscriminately and killed himself so death count could have been much higher.
Unfortunately this also has a high chance of being an ISIS related/motivated attack with some early reports confirming this. With how long the conflict in places like Syria has been allowed to go on, there is now unfortunately a very big supply of well trained and experienced fighters who wish Europe and US harm. Small cell comprised of such men operating independently is capable of doing a lot of damage and difficult for security services to detect.
Thoughts are with France tonight but unfortunately this looks far from over with a hostage situation already developing.

Doesn't matter, if you stop letting "them" in they will still find a way.
