The idea of "the chosen" people is can hardly be stripped from the mentality of humans. If religion was destroyed for good, there will still be the "elite" syndrome where business men/ wealthy people/ politicians and all, love to feel important and all, build fancy halls and make lots of fancy parties "only for them to attend"; then sooner or later they become the new "chosen people".
If you meant religion, I think the chosen people phenomena has nothing to do with religion.

Quote:We're not in the Middles East either by the way, we're in Europe. This is an unprecedented attack, meaning an attack like it had never happened before. This was a Friday night, young people going for a night out, in a relatively peaceful and secure city.........you expect the same type of security you see in the middle east? I mean, seriously??
Paris is peaceful ?

That's a city with a moderate crime rate for starters. So yes; seriously. We're not speaking about "utopia", where people greet you with smiles and flowers at every corner. That's a country with an active underground, black markets for weapons.
Quote:Charlie Hebdo was a totally different incident, in terms of planning, scope and execution. Hebdo was specifically targeted because of a supposed slur on Islam. What happened on Friday night was a coordinated, multi-pronged attack on the civilian population, planned and orchestrated from the outside.
I have already said I agree with a lot of what you've said on the political situation, but the criticism of teh security measures on the ground are unfounded in my opinion.
We might again disagree, since ISIS claim responsibility for charlie & then again cracked the security around the magazine's office (which I see very ironic).

I agree, dictators supported by so many European countries.
Europe acheived its prosperty and freedom, through exporting its civil madness to the outside. No offense, but there's a very big chance that those attacks on france were planned by Europeans, or did you forget the parties that made profit until now from the incident ?
In comparison to the Middle East, Paris IS a veritable utopia you cretin, that is the very point. This was a comparison between Paris and the Middle East, one that you made when questioning the security measures. Fuck me pal, you are genuinely terrible at this.
European or not, this evil bastards were MUSLIM.
One point here, what do you think of the attacks themselves? Do you think they were justified? On Charlie Hebdo or the latest attack?
