At least three American students have been identified among 20 people killed during an ISIS attack on a cafe in Bangladesh yesterday.

Abinta Kabir, a student at Emory University who was from Miami, Florida, died when terrorists attacked the largely foreign crowd inside the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka last night.

Fellow Emory student Faraaz Hossain, who attended the college's business school, was also identified as being among the dead by a spokesman today. Tarushi Jain, 19, who studied at University of California Berkeley campus, was also killed.

1. Because they couldn't recite the Quran well enough. Disgusting.

[smirkymonkey]

2. So tragic. These young, beautiful girls cut down in the prime of their lives.

I believe they were American muslims. Apparently, not muslim enough for the attackers.

3. Daily fail-why do you show a pic of one of the victims with caption "this grinning ISIS terrorist ."

They put the female victim's pic as ISIS terrorist

4. absolutely awful

[scscholar]

26. And even worse, it will be ammunition for tRump (ntxt)

5. Maybe it's time to re-think the delayed response to terror strikes.

[truebrit71]

6. Because escalated violence in response to violence has worked so well in the past?

We've tried that. Perhaps we should try something else.

[NBachers]

7. What kind of placating, sensitive, and delayed response would you advocate for these murderers?

[truebrit71]

8. Not sure, but blowing them up doesn't appear to stop them.

Does it?

[NBachers]

10. Gathering outside a hostage situation while innocent people are murdered hasn't worked, has it?

[TeddyR]

18. Blowing up

These particular murderers would have helped. Unless you think the murder of these young girls was ok.

[truebrit71]

20. Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying..

[cherokeeprogressive]

14. I'm half waiting for someone to answer that by telling us we should learn passages from the Koran.nt

[yeoman6987]

11. And what do you have in mind?

I'd love to hear your ideas on successfully wiping out ISIS without fighting.

[yeoman6987]

12. Never mind my reply I read your idea down thread

It looks like ISIS will become a way of life since nobody knows what to do (I don't either short of bombing which is unpopular).

9. Where is the media?

I can't find any coverage. 24/7 e-mail gate.

13. religion run amok

They say that ISIS has perverted Islam.

They say that Westboro Baptist, among others, has perverted Christianity.

Other religions have their extremists too.

The problem is that violence and peace go hand-in-hand in their holy books. At least we are alive in a time after the Christians finally forsook the nastiest Biblical passages. Islam has a long ways to go on that score. We probably won't see much of a Muslim enlightenment until after we're dead and gone.

What a pity. All over an imaginary being.

16. The Enlightenment has been knocking on Islam's door for hundreds of years.

The problem is they quickly put their Voltaires and Newtons on the chopping block.

[Marr]

15. I'm sure someone will be along shortly to tell us how this is the west's fault.

Or that these are just a few more people 'perverting a religion of peace'.

[melman]

17. No need to wait

Someone already did that.

[TeddyR]

19. No, not the west's fault

I think we know where the blame lies.

[bdwker]

21. I know too...

Ive looked at the rules.

I had a post removed because I said "Is***** terrorism".

Can you or someone explain why its so controversial ?

[TeddyR]

23. I had a post removed as well

What is the rule for pointing out certain terrorist issues that lead to a post being deleted? Are these rules applied equally regardless of the group?

[RussBLib]

24. are you getting some kind of notice when a post of yours is removed?

I've been wondering. If they give a notice, I haven't had any removed.

[TeddyR]

25. Yep

An email and can't post anymore in the thread

[bdwker]

27. Thats what i'm asking you.

Is it allowed to say "is***** terrorism?
Can you say "radical ******* terrorists?
Is it allowed to say that certain cultures don't share values with liberal western culture?
Is it allowed to that a certain religion have followers that are responsible for these attacks?

I cant figure out what the rules are.

[Quantess]

28. It always helps to specify muslim extremists

to be clear that you aren't broadbrushing all muslims. Probably wise to also add a disclaimer, "not all muslims of course". If you forget to leave that part out, someone will undoubtedly overreact in knee-jerk fashion something like "SO YOU HATE ALL MUSLIMS, YOU ISLAMOPHOBE?!?!"

By clarifying "muslim extremists", and the "only a small percentage", you save yourself time by not having to tediously reassure the knee-jerkers that you are not broadbrushing a religion, and that no, of course you did NOT mean "all muslims".

22. So awful
