Actually the muslim countries are not support and condolences, but celebrating another victory toward instituting the World Caliphate. No sarcasm intended ...

Wow, more teddy bears, flowers, light shows and signs. That should really put the fear in those islamics. Yep, the western world is really really mad this time. Joke.

I'm sure that that's what they said they were doing, but I'm sure they just played their recording of "My Country, 'tis of thee" ...

The folks in charge of empty symbolic gestures are sure getting lots of practice these days.
To: C19fan
Symbolic gestures have lost most of their meaning these days, particularly when we move from one terrorist atrocity to another.
The muslim problem WILL NEVER be solved by liberal policies and politically correct approaches.

LOL. Wow, impressive not.

And I’m sure there’s YUGE mountains of muslims protesting the attack all over W Europe.

I thought much the same thing...
unless they announced it, the people who know the tune as My country would think it was that instead...
Why isn’t the White House in some type of Union Jack light up ???
To: C19fan
Meanwhile, fat Muslim wives in burkhas went outside offering sweets to their children and their husband's other wives’ children...
Wahhabi men had a camel race, and Imams celebrated by sodomizing some new boys...
Just another post-terrorist victory over the Kaffir to celebrate in the Islamic world.

At Yankee Stadium, 'God Save the Queen' was played along with 'The Star-Spangled Banner' before New York hosted the Kansas City Royals. Did they get Enrico Pallazzo to sing it?

I am sure this is a great comfort for those who lost a small loved one ripped to pieces by ball bearings and nails.

Today is Teary Solidarity Day in the UK. Flowers, candles, and teddy bears are accumulating in their appointed places. Photos of slain children are being displayed on television and in the newspapers, and weepy citizens are lamenting their tragic loss. New hashtags proliferate on social media. And politicians recycle their tired clichés about standing together and not letting the terrorists divide us and etc blah yak. And things continue the same, in Britain and throughout the Multicultural West.
Thanks for Zakeet for the above!

So glad we are stepping up our game! Hashtags, teddy bears, and piles of flowers just weren’t getting the job done.
Can’t tell you how glad I am the world is taking this problem seriously.
Now, remember, we should all be on the lookout and report any “backlash” against moslems.

Did the UN mandate that every member nation create a “Department of Empty Symbolic Gestures”?
