Why the fuck does someone as vanilla as Taylor Swift seem to upset extremists so much? She seems so generic and inoffensive that people would have a hard time being angry with her. Swift is so inoffensive pretty much everyone likes her, which offended them lol
In this case, I think it was more about the crowds being massive.
Possibly also because many of them would be underage.
She is a face for modern femininity, not saying that that is her goal, but a lot of women do admire her.
So if you don’t think she’s a good role model for women, and you’re a complete lunatic, attacking her events to oppress women’s feeling of empowerment does check out.
This particular attack probably had nothing to do with any of this, but she could probably be described as offensive from the economic equality standpoint, because she is a billionaire, from the environmental justice standpoint, because she is a frequent private-jet user, and from the music scene standpoint, because she seemingly intentionally pushes out other female artists from billboard spots by re-releasing albums in specific locations/time periods during which her peers are releasing their albums.
Austrian authorities are reported to have received information about the Swift concert threat from U.S. intelligence, as Austrian law does not allow the monitoring of instant messaging apps, which the suspects had used to communicate.
Ugh
They better keep him in solitary for his own protection. I wouldn't trust any prison to not be full of angry Swifties.
More like to protect them all those angry Austrian Swifties who got their concert canceled.
That's what I'm saying. Helmut the Cannibal is going to eat his face for trying to kill the lady with the voice of an angel and refusing to Shake It Off.
For one thing, I doubt Austria would take kindly to Iraq doing inside their country what Israel does inside nearby countries and take extraterritorial military action. Especially when Austria was one of the nations that didn't want an invasion of Iraq and formally protested it.
Sure. How would that have done anything about this bombing plot? Or are you suggesting that Iraq should have killed this 18-year-old when he was still a minor? Because killing children intentionally is a war crime.
No but at that age they could have flipped him and give up others to take down. No needing to kill them or anything but just kind of put a dent in ISIS or get in one their plots and stop or warn people before they happen.

This doesn't make any sense and feel like a manufacture attempt to prepare north america and europe for another war against Muslims
For ISIS Jihad means ignoring Israel to attack Iranian parades, Russian venues and Taylor Swift concerts.
