why does this happen almost exclusively in islam?
They are very extremist and backward terrorists, and the religion of Islam is innocent of them.yes, i am sure...it is so sad
i have never understood how you can be so attached to a religion that you kill for it.Many don't view the world as western civilization does. And ultimately, it's fine. The real problem is western countries welcoming them en masse when there is a clear cultural disconnect.

I remember when they were talking about it on the TV. I was 10. We didnโt know anything until the next morning when I switched on the TV. We experienced such a feeling of dread and insecurityโฆ The images and the screams of the peopleโฆ Petrifying.
When we came back to school after the week end, the teachers had cancelled all classes, and made a special lessons on France, rights and liberties, and the dangers of terrorism. It is clear these people "in the name" of our religion (that they tarnish), could commit such horrible crimes.
Thank God, nobody from my family got hurt, but I have thoughts for the families of the victims who died from this horrendous night. ๐๏ธ This is a duty of rememberance as well.
Thank you everybody who wrote and posted comments. I love this emoji that @Sabri_KC used: ๐๏ธ
I like it because it is a white pigeon or dove right. And that is the symbol of peace and the symbol of luck if for example you get married. And the people who died i hope that they have peace even if something very terrible happened.
So this is for all the victims of the Paris attacks and anywhere of terrorism in any country at any time:
