Oh sorry. I don't think there's any problem though. Things seem to be under control and it's unlikely to have affected the flights and stuff. Don't worry 
It's very practical, much more so than an outside force trying to create change. We've seen how well dropping random bombs works. We need upstanding muslims across the world to rise up and become passionate about spreading peace instead of delusional extremist rhetoric. It seems as though some of these folks are already at war, so they need to win the war. Instead, it appears that many moderate muslims are afraid to tackle extremism head-on. Add in the appeasement towards radical Islam from the west, and you have a total nightmare coming for us in the next 10 years.
Christianity had a reformation; so does Islam.
That was the other guy.
I don't think X hates America. In fact, I know he doesn't since he lives here. I like X, but he seemingly is really passionate about Islam. Other folks here and elsewhere that are apologists are certainly rooting for the deaths.
Like I said, it's mental illness. That whole retarded argument of "give them free stuff" to thwart their ideology when some are highly educated just goes to show how delusional some pundits are nowadays. But that's part of their overall propaganda to solve all world affairs -- you can essentially solve everything by giving out free handouts. They're complete 'tards who have no common sense whatsoever.

Hopefully we have it from the 28 pages. But even then, there's proof of massive trades of US Treasuries by Saudis before 9/11 10X against normal volume.

I don't know many people who don't. Obviously those freaks during the Bush era should be in jail. Now the Democrats are using what they did as a excuse to do the same, albeit not on the same scale as Iraq.

So he's French 
People should stop making excuses. ISIS kills and $#@!s all ethnicities. Well-educated people join them too. People who grew up in comforting countries. People should stop making excuses.

There are thousands of clerics around the globe standing up and fighting it. Now can we have upstanding American citizens around the world rise up and stop the drone attacks killing civilians around the world? Or get that idiot who took you to war, got hundreds of thousands killed, including your own and completely wreck an already fucked up region based on a lie? Or at the very least stop him from dancing at memorial services? Accountability has to work both ways. Thank you.

This guy just can't catch a break. It's funny and sad at the same time.

You understand how insubstantial and abstract your suggestion is? "Rise up", "become passionate", even upstanding "muslims", because which muslims are you talking about: people, scholars, or heads of governments? In Europe or in the middle-east? They are so many and so different, and what do you mean by rising up, like protesting?
Btw, it seems all that connects the Nice attacker to Islam is his name. He was not even practicing Islam, apparently a loner with a few petty criminal records with zero connection to any Islamic extremist group, and no extremist group has claimed responsibility either (although ISIS has praised him).

They called him a soldier but there is no evidence suggesting he was contacted/trained by them. In their statement there's no sign of claiming the attack by ISIS.

Slacktivism has its own cons though, especially for the matters in which people can indeed do something/make a change. In fact those who express sadness or anger on the internet are less likely to actually engage in behavior (donating time or money for example) that help the very cause they are talking about online, because they feel they have done their share. In many other horrific situations though there's not much we can do so changing profile pics to flags and lighting candles etc (although sometimes done only for self-presentational purposes) can be people's way of dealing with a tragedy, but no matter what one does, whether they change their profile picture to a flag or not, whether they send their prayers or not, whether they criticize too much or too little, people always have something bad to say about it.
