BBC News reports that French police have arrested a 24-year old Algerian man accused of plotting a terror attack against churches who called an ambulance after suffering self-inflicted gunshot wounds:
The man, a computer science student who had lived in France for several years, was detained on Sunday after he apparently shot himself by accident and called for an ambulance. Police followed a trail of blood leading to his vehicle, where they found notes "unambiguously demonstrating" he planned an imminent attack, according to [Minister of the Interior] Mr Cazeneuve. "Several war weapons, hand guns, ammunition, bullet-proof vests, and computer and telephone hardware" were discovered at his car and home, Mr Cazeneuve added.
No links between the man and other terror groups was found, although he was previously flagged by police after he expressed the desire to travel to Syria to fight with militants, a sentiments shared by hundreds of other French citizens already fighting with ISIS. The man has also been connected to the death of a woman found in her car near Paris, although no details have yet been released concerning his link to that case.

This should not be modded troll. There is a pattern when so many Muslims in western countries want Sharia law.
Here are some stats on support for Sharia law in western countries: http://chersonandmolschky.com/2014/04/07/support-sharia-law-world/ [chersonandmolschky.com]
So why was it modded troll if the pattern is not just significant, but documented and studied by many sources?

Because, um, it is a troll post? You see, if a post gets modded "troll", it is a troll post, whether it complies with sharia law or not. Even shooting itself in the leg will not make it stop being a troll post. But if the post gets modded up, then it is no longer a troll post. See that? The Mods have unfettered, unlimited and totally unaccountable power! They even had a TV show in the '70's, called "The Mod Squad".

It was modded troll because it's a troll post because it was modded troll? The hell good did your comment do?
Combination of tautology and a tight-loop circular logic gets you +2 xkcd points but -10 for logic.
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

And you want Christian law in Islamic countries.
What was your point again? That Muslims are evil because they don't follow your way of life?
You sound like a religious extremist.

Perhaps because the pattern you're discussing wasn't mentioned *at all* in the post you're commenting about? Great, there's a pattern, good for you...how's that related to the parent post screaming about how "progressives" would rather see "pretty ladies machine gunned to death" rather than "damaging our vibrant diversity"? That's probably why it got modded troll. It starts out alright, but it ends with pure unsubstantiated political flamebait.
