I know a small number of people like the ongoing threads, but they are not at all friendly for getting to pointed areas of discussion, or specific discussions that may interest someone more than the rest of the talk. This is a discussion board, and there's no reason that discussions can't be started on similar topics in separate threads. I don't get why people are sensitive about this

[OMG!WTF!]

I was going to mention it in that thread when if first happened but the thread title mentions ISIS and I was pretty sure someone would suggest it was presumptuous to assume this was ISIS. You've got to let the we don't have that information yet crowd win that one.

That film on the news last night of the bomber detonating himself after having been shot, just crazy.

Pretty crazy week for terrorist activity. Turkey airport attack, Bangladesh attack on Friday, Baghdad on Sunday and Saudi Arabia today.
