    Wanna bet it was a bunch of nuns who were responsible?

    I'm always still in trouble again

        No, I'm betting on Buddhists...

            Various reports now have the death toll now at 50.

            A Police office tackled one of the suicide bombers right before he detonated his vest.

            A police officer tackled a suicide bomber to the ground at Istanbul's international airport before the attacker detonated his vest, almost certainly killing both of them, says a witness who was trying to flee.

            Turkish authorities confirmed at least 36 people were killed when three explosions hit Istanbul Ataturk Airport, a major transport hub in the region for international travellers, on Tuesday night, local time.

            Witnesses also reported hearing gunshots, while the city's governor said three suicide bombers carried out the attack.

                As bad as this is, I don't think ISIS will last much longer. Where "normal" terrorists aim their attacks at western countries, like America, ISIS aims their attacks at their own people, turning EVERYONE against them. They are beyond terrorists, they are insane street thugs destroying their own territories.

                  Actually, they are little different than other terrorists. Egypt has been dealing with (non-ISIS) terrorism in the Sinai peninsula, the Palestinians tried it against Jordan before Jordan kicked them out, and Sunni-Shiite terrorism was occurring in Iraq circa 2007, at least, and the Kurds have been using terrorism in Turkey for decades. That's just off the top of my head.

                    But ISIS is attacking everyone in every islamic country. They are completely insane bullies.

                      They're a bigger group, so they have more reach.

                        It's like the islamic zombie apocalypse. They keep killing everything in their path except those they turn to their cause. Hmmm, pretty much like Mohammad did when he started Islam. Maybe they are taking their cue from their Prophet's history.

                          What I don't get is why they don't attack more often, especially the west, if their attacks are just random attacks.

                            Sounds like early Islam after Mohammed's death. The "Wars of Apostasy" weren't pretty.
