Athens (AFP) - Greek police on Saturday said at least one man with a possible connection to the Paris attacks had registered as a refugee with Greek authorities earlier this year.

French authorities had asked their Greek counterparts to check the fingerprints of one man who died in the attacks, with a Syrian passport found next to him, in addition to the fingerprints of another man.

There were efforts to establish whether both had registered in Greece, the main entry point into Europe for Syrian refugees.

The Greek minister for citizen protection, Nikos Toskas, said one of the men had been registered on the Greek island of Leros in October.

1. ISIS has been recruiting from all over the world. I would not be surprised to see

American citizens in attacks also. It will not be the first time an American citizen has been involved in terrorist attacks.

2. One out of hundreds of thousands? Millions?

That's a pretty damn low rate.

3. All it took is 7 or 8 to cause many deaths.

4. 1.6 Billion muslims on Earth.

It only took 19 of them to kill 2,977 people on 9/11. Doesn't take many bad apples to destroy the batch.

5. A few very bad people can cause many deaths regardless of what religion, race or ethnicity they are.

Liberals will not hold the actions of a few against the 99% of a group who are blameless.

6. I wasn't blaming all Muslims for 9/11.

I'm saying that there needs to be better screening to weed the bad element out of the good, so the people that want a better life can get one, without sacrificing the lives of the native population.

7. It would be naive to believe only a few terrorists came in with the refugees.

The people in France are living in terror from this attack. It happened because of one "cell" in Paris. Does anyone seriously believe there aren't more of these "cells"? Europeans are afraid - and they have good reason to be!
