Liberté, égalité, fraternité

The world stands in solidarity with France and the hundred of innocent civilians who were thrown without warning to face the scythe of death swung by fanatical zealots of unsound mind.

Vive Le France
Purportedly by IS for the revenge on the attacks by France in Iraq and Syria,  this heinous crime speaks volumes on the culpability of the human mind to latch onto whatever offers hope and salvation when faced in the moment of despair.

It can be ascertain that these terrorist, whether from IS or some other group, are motivated persons acting in coordination from a well-thought plan that was hatched a long time ago. We are lucky that the damage was not much more.

However, who in the end will suffer from these needless actions? With Europeans countries all considering sealing their borders from the influx of countless immigrants. I am sure and these are tilted more towards favouring closing the borders.

It is justifiable. The European governments cannot be blamed for being selfish or cowed into closing their borders. One has to protect one's home first and then one can go on to protect the community with good faith. If the affairs of one's home is a mess, how can people trust you with their safety?

Hence, I believe that the innocent immigrants running away from war in their home will pay the ultimate price for the selfish actions of these terrorist who profess to defend the rights of their fellow citizens and countrymen. But who infact, in one fell swoop, fucked the lives of all the other potential asylum seekers.

Sealing their borders will ensure the influx of potential terrorists are stemmed and would allow the authorities to track and check previous immigrants who have entered their state. This is the first and most important step to take to be able to filter and detect and eventually to deter future acts of terrorism,

God knows how many terrorists have already infiltrated into Europe and beyond by posing as innocent, helpless immigrants.
