"as more Muslims move into the west, you will see more radicalized as well."

I think that as more Muslims move into the west, barneystinson gets more radicalized.

Lol. Europe's Muslim population has increase from 4% to 6.5% since 1990. Compare Islamic terror between the two time spans in Europe please

Edit: Oops. My internet is trash.

The point of terrorism is to spread fear. The terrorists won't win if they kill every single one of us, they will win if we vote for extreme parties that will destabilise our countries.

Palou is right, we react in an exaggerated way to everything terrorism-related.
A few months ago, there was a school shooting in the south of France. Nobody was dead, but it was a pretty big deal, since people thought it was a terrorist attack. However, it turned out to be an ordinary fight, so everyone forgot about it.

In one year? Well of course it seems small first, but look to the next 30 years, 50 years, even more. What happens when Europe is 10% Muslim in 2050. 25% in 2100? Will they integrate, or will the trend continue?

The euro has hit a five month high, as the early polling figures from France reassure the financial markets.

The single currency jumped almost 2% when trading began in Asia, surging over $1.091. It also rallied 1.5% against the British pound to around 85p. Investors had been nervous that Emmanuel Macron might fail to reach the run-off, as he’s seen as the candidate best equipped to prevent Marine Le Pen winning the presidency.

These events are instigated by organizations like ISIS. The goal of these missions is to spread fear, and show might to gain new recruits. They want the attention. That's a fact.

Just a few stats: 30 000 children die of preventable diseases, each day. 

More people die from indirect smoking, each year, than all terrorist attacks since 2000. 100 000 kids (under 16) get sent to hospitals each year for lung infections caused by indirectly inhaling smoke.

Thousands of american children are raped each year. Not by strangers, or priests, but almost exclusively by their parents, close family or friends.

35 000 people die in car crashes in the US alone, each year. Worldwide, it's 1.25 million people.

And of course, cancer far outshines all these issues.

Are any of these less tragic for those involved? Of course not. Seeing someone close die hurts, no matter how that person died. But we don't hear about that on the news. Why should we hear about the 300 people a year (if it's particularly bad) that get shot by some fanatic?

Public fear will be around whether or not the media reports it. The Internet is here now, and people will be in fear if these events happen. Maybe we should look into the underlying reasons for radicalization, versus simply covering terrorism up. Too much immigration, not enough integration.

Even if there were 20% Muslims in Europe in 1990, there still wouldn't have been any terrorist attacks, since it wasn't a thing back then.

In the west, I think it was a monthly occurance 10 years ago. I think it's more like a weekly occurance nowadays or, at best every other week occurance. Of course, that's just counting the west (i.e. not ME, Africa, Asia, etc) and some attacks are way more devastating than others.
