The only places with terrorist attacks are France, Germany and Belgium, wich are the countries people from outside think about when they think of Europe, what a coincidence(or not). The rest of Europe is not really having troubles with that right now.

Well,

but at least for Germany it's rather not a big issue in comparision to France and Belgium. So far, Germany had only minor attacks with no deaths except that one in 2011 and that one in munich 1972.

It's obviously more likely to die in an accident.

Actually, it's not even worth mentioning, but the media makes a huge deal of it.

The only terror which is being done in the countries is not by the terrorists, but by the media itself.

According to the list, there were just as many terrorist incidents in 2016 as in the last 40 years in Germany. Terrorism is terrorism, just because someone did not manage to kill anyone does not make it less severe. What if that guy in Ansbach was successful and managed to kill dozens of people, is it now worth mentioning because there is a body count?

I'm not trying to be abrasive or suggest everyone should hide in a bunker in fear of a terrorist attack but we shouldn't internalize these things as normal.
