Complete Title
Do you think ISIS gives two pins for your pathetic hashtags, prayers and candles? Stop waiting to be slaughtered and demand our leaders DO something!
Evil mowed us down in a monster truck. And we tweeted like lethargic birds between Egyptian cotton sheets.
Celebrities rushed to social media with their message 'not again', designers comforted with a patriotic graphic, tea candles were lit and instagrammed. There will be a vigil in a public square. Again.
A hashtag is born #PrayForNice, exploding into a thousand others as people want to #PrayFor France or #PrayForHumanity, failing to acknowledge the horrible truth that this attack was done in some spurious god's name. You want to pray for Nice? You think religion will help solve this?
Religion and its bonkers side-shoots are the problem.
Politicians tell us to stand united. The Prime Minister of France has said he will not allow the country to be destabilised. President Hollande reminds us terrorism will not be tolerated.
Well big news: France IS destabilised - in a perpetual state of Emergency. We do not stand united. We are divided, we are ripped apart. And yet we tolerate it every time.

I am not Nice.
I’m sick of that stupid saying.
Je suis (most recent muslim target)
She’s blaming all religon
Author is a clueless useful idiot.
No thinks IS would care about prayers.
Yes - ISIS does care. It entertains them and makes them smile
[ Do you think ISIS gives two pins for your pathetic hashtags, prayers and candles? ]
That particular part is correct. Terrorists laugh at meaningless symbolism.
How about praying for A Horribly Painful Death For Islamic Terrorists?
I thought it was a good opinion piece. I don’t think it was an attack on all religions.
We need more voices like hers.
She is completly right for the first part but wrong making the confusion between all religions .
That’s the big problem linked to a lack of education in large part of the western world . This is also the case for religious education . Many “journalists” have no clue on that issue
If leftists only thought for one moment what their Muslim buddies who they continually support think of them. It’s not flattering. They neither respect or fear liberals. Islamists can best be nicely described as thinking of them like Stalin’s useful idiots. Weak submissives also fit their opinion of libs and in the most perverse way. Islamists know they can attack them almost anytime they want so they can be patient for a little while. Leftist support doesn’t buy them one ounce of goodwill with the Islamists, but they’ll use it for now.
The french should skip the crying and instead, RIOT in the streets against the government until every last muslim is deported!

The DUH moment has arrived ... at least for a minority.
#bring back the neutron bomb
#7.62x51
#.45acp
except remove the hash tags
what’s a pin?
Hey, what the deal with “hashtag” anyway? You NEVER hear the recorded voice telling you to “press the pound sign, number sign or hashtag to return to the main menu”.
I think she is taking religion off the table. Simply so it is not a reason to not react. Actually Islam is a form of government that also serves as a religion.
A thin piece of metal with a sharp point at one end and a round head at the other, used especially for fastening pieces of cloth.
A hashtag is a type of label or metadata tag used on social network and microblogging services which makes it easier for users to find messages with a specific theme or content.
Ah yes the old “displays of emotion don’t accomplish anything” display of emotion. ISIS doesn’t two pins about your pathetic ranting about hashtags, prayers and candles either. Face it, the fact is most of us can’t actually do anything that matters in these situations, but the human mind has an urge to do something, which is where all these displays (including the hollow rants against the displays) come from.
I know that. It’s a kind usurper of a term. An exclamation point is an exclamation point and a question mark is a question mark. I don’t know of any other terms for those two, but I have used the term “splat” when referring to an asterisk.
