I give my regards as well. I have some friends over there. :/

i'm sorry man, i hope they are ok

The only thing that will stop these attacks is making the savages committing them scared to do so, make the reaction so devastating that they fear us. Unfortunately, in our "modern, civilized" state, I am afraid that most have lost the ability to stomach such an action.

Its such a touchy thing because these people aren't afraid to die for what they believe in. Most know they won't come back after the attack. what many countries need to do is to shame such actions, don't pigeon cuddle saying "We don't hate all of you" While there are still people dieing in the hospital. They need to register those in their country and integrate them in to their culture and if they don't, kick them out.

But instead we have people with tall gates and unrepresentative individuals governing how Europe should be run and how people should think. (I applaud Poland for not giving in to the black mail)

I apparently live far enough away that I never heard the explosion...

but I live around 5-10 miles away from what happened

it was a pop concert of all things....mostly kids and teenagers

A good way to spread terror is to target those who would be affected by it the most

it annoys me greatly...this isn't the first time we've been hit by terror bombings

Pretty much this, THIS

I've been trying to explain over and over, time and time again. Islam is a ideology that runs counter to the core values of what it means to be liberal. The part that stokes my ire is first when Hebdo was attacked in France (And the idiots that open for, I'm for Free Speech but,). Then the shoot out later in Paris (Whom apparently has no "culture" by what their leader said), then the attack with the Truck in Nice, The Pulse Night Club Shooting (Oh the morons that say The GUN did it, not ISLAM!) , The Cologne rapes (Clearly it's the MEN not the misogynist tenants they have been programmed with and left no incentive to assimilate to the culture.).

Mass Immigration leads to this, Yet they will try to focus on the Trump Russia narrative to a point they wouldn't care for the death of children. Can't blame it on guns, can't blame it on anything. Oh there will be those that will try to obfuscate and make it seem like this is some right wing terrorist posing as a muslim. It doesn't take a scientist, to simply state the obvious, our Core tenants in the West runs counter to the Islamist. They believe in martyrism and in it, I don't think Islamphobia should be disingenuous when the fear can be made rational easily when one sees the writing on the wall.

Buh NOT ALL MUSLIMS, is what they will say in some form of trying to be apologists. The obvious reaction, to them I say, NO SHIT!, I speak about an ideology that is with the most hateful, evil scumbags in it that values killing oneself as a means to make it to some holy ground in the most literal of interpretations, and there are actual sympathizers to this view point. THAT. IS. HORRIFYING.

I personally believe it stems from a weak culture. We've had mass migration before like Ireland to America and such but that was easier to integrate in to due to similar values. Islam has very different thoughts then we do on how they should live. And yes it is a violent one but we don't prop up our values enough to counter their culture. We are(were at this point) being taught to hate other people, hate our religion, hate our values as a nation and society to the point that some people feel we should rewrite our history and not for the better. There is even a school in California where a students wanted to remove the American flag because they feel it creates fear and oppression.

On the flip side, the Muslim faith is extremely strong in their culture. The only thing they question about themselves is if they are faithful enough to their religion. A region that hasn't changed since it was first created. That if you try to leave you will be killed and if you have done great sin (Such as drinking and lust) the only way to absolve your self is to kill non believers.

Its why i believe multiculturalism is pushed so hard now with the idea being "Why would we want to bring people in to our western culture if we hate ourselves" And because of that, this toxic ideology thrives in muslim communities with no need to change for anything. A culture divided is a vulnerable culture

Self flagellating morons that think we stole this from the Indians, when it was the Indians that would do the same had they had the same advancements as the west. If they merely understood or dug deeper they would certainly know that lets say we give back the land to the Sioux, would they give it back to the tribes they took from them?

This anti-west sentiments is getting me annoyed because the people levy this criticism did nothing nor even took time to learn about the system or history of it. The left has this habit of trying to make we who are born with some original sin, or we have something due based on how we were born. Then trying to correct these inequities based on some arbitrary statistic, I digress from this appalling take on equality of outcomes versus equal opportunity as that could be reserved for another tirade.

The reason the left doesn't do jack all, is because for this fear of being a bigot, however the irony is they wouldn't hesitate if it's a Christian, but they reserve themselves or find a debate on one of their pet issues (or shove it in). When it comes in the form of Allahu Akbar, They tell me back. We couldn't do anything to prevent it.

That is where I say bullshit. Controlling people coming into the nation, actually not being afraid to call them out for their barbarism, and protecting the apostates to their faith are all things that could be used to slowly take the teeth from them.

The pattern is clear, they will self ghettoize themselves and stick to their own demographic and will not assimilate to the country, They are taking advantage of our extended hand and their looking to play a long game, they are looking to stand a caliphate in the western world and in the end turn it into a theocracy much like what the Christians did in the Right back in the 90s. If they left can't see this, their fucking blind.
