Current privacy laws in the EU also don't help with fighting terrorism. But the real reason why attacks mainly occur in Europe is because Europe is weak, unwilling to takw harsh measures againat terrorism and quite pathetic even. All the terrorists from Paris to London where known by the police some where even under investigation. Yet they could travel to Syria and back freely and Europe isn't changing a thing and hopes these attacks just stop for some reason. There is a reason why terrorism in the US is a lit rarer than in Europe.

Islamic terrorism is rarer in the US. Right wing terrorism is your problem at the moment, we've only had one notable instance of right wing terrorism last year when an mp was killed.

Also the UK has it's own privacy laws, we're very unique in that way from the other EU countries. Our government got caught spying on us, then made it legal to exonerate themselves. Putting the UK in with your Europe narrative doesn't really work that way. 

How is right wing terrorism the biggest problem in continental Europe. They don't kill nearly as many people as right wing terrorist, except for Breivik. In the US terrorism as a whole isn't much of an issue. Which is surprising since you can buy a gun anywhere. The extreme right is mostly a dog that barks but doesn't bite in Europe. Islamic terrorists however kill plenty of people. The way I see it America is way stronger in the security department than Europe. I would very much doubt this attack would have occurred in the US if they had the same intell as Great Britain.
