Sky News ^ | 31 December 2015 | staff

Authorities in Paris have scaled back the city's New Year's Eve celebrations over heightened terror fears after Brussels cancelled its festivities.

The usual fireworks display in the French capital has been scrapped and replaced by a five-minute video performance at the Arc de Triomphe just before midnight...

First Brussels, now Paris. Can the open-borders crowd in Europe possibly believe that this is only temporary?

They are giving the heroes of Obama exactly what they want, making the “infidels” to live in fear.

Hate that they are doing it but can see the sense in it - a fireworks display provides perfect cover to delay recognition of an attack and causing additional mayhem if one does occur.

Step one - deplete the enemy by making them pay so dearly that they reconsider, even if for their families' sake.

Step two - repeat step one until the People can trust their government to do its best to protect them from the bad guys....

If every man and woman were armed, no scaling back would be necessary.

That is the ONLY thing to do to Combat this threat. Believing the government can be everywhere to protect everyone is simply DELUSIONAL.

This is the War of Islam. Identify the coward politicians of Western Government and browbeat them into PC appeasement of refugees, tolerance, diversity and ‘fairness’.....

Then use their same openness against them with some terror act they can’t even describe publically as Islamic Terror.

Fear. Afraid. Scared. Wary. A whole plethora of words Islam is instilling in Western Government. It is the most effective tactic imaginable, actually. Their overall goal is to make the sheep so damned scared to even leave their homes for fear of offending some effing Muslim. From there it is all down hill.

There are claims of 7,900 ISIS fighters in Europe. That could make for a big nightmare. Their goal is to force Europe and the U.S. into a fight to trigger Armageddon.
1000 Paris-style attacks against the west would do it.

Last I heard, there was a billion plus ISIS sympathizer Muslims all over the world.

It sure does cost a LOT, in terms of changed lifestyles, security procedures, changed events - to maintain political correctness with Islam.

Any idea who or what might be behind the fears?

Has there been a rash of violence perpetrated by Dittoheads in France and Belgium?

Has Sarah Palin been preaching violence from her front porch?

Has the NRA issued a decree regarding the proper abuse and manhandling of sex slaves?

I mean, there must be SOME sort of common thread behind these threats.

That's a very good point. I wonder (seriously) if the 5-minute video replacement will be silent or not.

Well, the British government is seriously considering banning Donald Trump from the UK because of his "hateful" comments. So maybe Trump will be blamed for all this.

I was going to end with a /s, but on second thought, many libs probably will blame him.

The UK has banned radio talk show host Michael Savage from entering that country for years and that has paid huge dividends.

I mean, you almost never hear of a Savage listener beheading a British soldier on the street in broad daylight or going around in gangs beating up homosexuals or kidnapping and raping women.

Maybe Trump should buy The UK.

I wonder what the market value of a crumbling empire is these days.

The French and the Belgians are such “racists”. Don’t they know that moozlums are peaceful and just want to work hard? They only contribute to the idiocy of moozlamophobia through their discriminatory actions.
