Nightmare the lonely wolves of jihad

We did a research among greek newspapers and we found a article about the lonely wolves of Jihad and that none of them had given a sign of being capable of doing something like these attacks.After we found the article we translated in Εnglish. Here is the article:


Very ... lonely to be discovered, but also ... too dangerous to continue to walk free.After the bloodshed in France, The lonely wolfs jihadists cause terror across Europe, as many countries are afraid respectively blows.After the bloodshed in France, the lonely wolfs jihadists spread terror across Europe, as many countries are afraid respective strikes.
Unnoticed by the time they hit and unknown until they become subject, these are the lonely wolves in the face of whom the threat of a new Islamic terrorism finds expression . With  main tool the Internet, terrorism has now spread beyond the traditional core of militants and labeled. Anyone could potentially be a lonely wolf, as long as the want it.

The 23 year old Mohammed Merach was a lonely wolf and killed seven people in southern France in 2012. The Tsarnaef brothers were lonely wolves and painted the Boston Marathon red in April 2013 leaving three people dead and hundreds injured. "Above suspicion" were both men who murdered a British soldier Lee Rigmpi in May 2013 in London.'Harmless' was the 29 year old who killed four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in May 2014. Lonely were the perpetrators of the attacks in Ottawa (October 2014) and Sydney (December 2014) with a total of three people dead. "Isolated" was the depopulated core Kouasi-Koulimpali that sowed death in Paris about ten days ago.
20 year old was arrested accused of machinating to attack the Capitol. Those who know him talked about a young man without  friends

The perpetrators of all these attacks have one thing in common: none of them was seen as a major threat by the authorities, and that he really was not a big threat ... until done. Some of them even had past rather contrary to the teachings of Islam, as they had no rapper, drug users, petty and more ... at all Muslim.
Here are some of the photos the were taken while we were doing the project:

Spotting the differences

The main difference between the two articles is that the one supports Sir Sam Hughes and the other opposes to him. Even from the headline one can spot the difference. The headline of the first article talks about "stepping down" while the headline of the second article uses the phrase "fired". Likewise the two articles describe the story. The one in favour of Sir Sam Hughes uses a lot of adjectives and phrases with positive connotation and the other includes a lot of negative comments.
The reason of all these is that the writer of the first article is English and the writer of the second article is French. So they have diffrent political views and this affects their writing.

Two different views for the same subject

So here is the first piece of text entitled "Sir Sam Steps Down" as it was published in Toronto Times in November 1916:

Toronto Times
November 1916

SIR SAM STEPS DOWN!

Sad news was announced in Ottawa today. Sir Sam Hughes is no longer the minister of Militia. The prime minister, bending to howls of criticism from Quebec, has dismissed this able, competent minister. Hughes has done more for the war effort than any other Canadian. He has recruited thousands of volunteers and raised thousands of dollars.

Canada entered the war with only 3000 in the armed forces. By the end of 1915, thanks to Sir Sam's tireless energy and inspired leadership, more than 200,000 of our noble sons have taken their places on the battlefield.


Without Sir Sam's efforts, how will Canada maintain its contribution to the war cause? Many English Canadians are angered by the reluctance of French Canadians to volunteer for overseas service. English Canadians are willing to
defend the British Empire. The Empire that has done so much for Canada.
Sir Sam Hughes, through the force of his personality, has persuaded reluctant industrialists to invest heavily in the production of much needed war materials. We should be thankful that, through the contracts negotiated by the minister,
tons of vital munitions are making their way to our soldiers at the front.

 And here is the second text about the same event as it was published in Montreal Matin in November 1916.

Montreal Matin
November 1916

HUGHES FIRED FROM CABINET


At long last, Prime Minister Borden has done the honourable thing! He has thrown Sir Sam Hughes, his incompetent minister of Militia, out of the Cabinet. Now, Hughes will be unable to do any more damage to Canadian unity. Hughes, more than any other person, has divided and torn this country apart with his policies.

Hughes has managed to antagonize everyone in Quebec. Those French Canadians who have volunteered for the English war have been insulted. The recruitment posters, training and instruction manuals are in English only. More importantly, promotions have only been given to the English-speaking officers. How can Hughes and other Canadians expect French Canadians to join in the war effort when they are treated so poorly?

As Minister of Militia, Hughes has disgraced the nation by rewarding his friends and cronies with munitions contracts. These shady deals have allowed his friends to make millions at the taxpayer's expense. Why should we spill one more drop of precious French-Canadian blood in Europe. Canada only wants Quebec in Confederation when we are willing to sacrifice for the British Empire. Britain started this war. Let Britain finish it!
