1. That's good news.

2. hey adebelhamid

“…whosoever killeth a human being… it shall be as if he had killed all mankind, and whoso saveth the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind…” Koran 5:32

If the Allah you worship is the one who told Mohammed (pbuh) to write down those words, then I suspect you might be unpleasantly surprised. In the Muslim vision of hell, narrowness is supposedly a torment along with heat. Such narrowness is perfect for narrow minds.

10. That quote is from the Talmud

The Koran is quoting it from that text recounting what God told the Jewish people.

The next line in the Koran is:

The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides,

From the section Europe

The suspected ringleader of the Paris attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, has been identified as one of those killed in Tuesday's raid in the suburb of Saint Denis, the Paris prosecutor says.

His body was found riddled with bullets and shrapnel in the shattered apartment in the northern suburb.

The Belgian national, 28, was identified from his fingerprints.

5. It is good news, he tried to run and hide, it did not save him.

[Ilsa]

6. Ah! Another Syrian refugee... oh wait,

He wasn't a Syrian refugee. He was a European national.

I hope it's extra toasty in hell for him and his fellow thugs and murderers.

7. ISIS leaders sending young men to die while they hide.

I guess ISIS leadership has a lot in common with Western leaders.

8. I awoke this morning to giant headlines all over the news:

"MASTERMIND OF PARIS TERRORIST ATTACK DEAD"

Why are they giving him such 24/7 coverage? This is likely better than 72 virgins to some crazy terrorists.

Their photos and names should never be shown.

[rtracey]

11. the same reason

The same reason they cover Donald Trumps so much......to seize the moment, to hopefully scoop the story. Its all about communication.
I in past posts have stated, and again will state, to defeat ISIS, we must eliminate their communications, internet, video production capabilities. Once you have stopped the foundation of what htey recruit and spread their fear tactics, the better off we will be.

The world is better off without you or the wickedness you were plotting.

15. Belgium family of Abaaoud had hoped he had been killed much earlier than Paris attack...

16. I can't imagine trying to deal with the knowledge your own son was a murderer.

The torment for them would be devastating. Just awful.

20. Three dead in St-Denis raid, woman's body found

The Paris prosecutor has announced three people died during the Wednesday night raid on an apartment in St-Denis, where Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged ringleader of the Paris attacks, was killed.

The third person’s identity is not yet known.

A passport in the name of Hasna Aitboulahcen, the female suicide bomber in yesterday’s raid, was also found at the St-Denis property, the statement said.

[Update: There are conflicting reports about whether the body is a second woman, and we have very little detail about the identity of the third body]
