Na. A good lot of plot have been discovered and stopped. You can't, however, stop every one of them.

Wait until the UKIP becomes it... Back in the 2001, this was Wilders.

And this is him in 2015:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGy-CYhZczo

He's basically asking the Muslims to be deported, executed, etc.

Yes, in 2001, he was in another party (the VVD, a conservative-liberal party) that limited his ability to discriminate. But later, we saw his real face - when he established the new PVV - as a hate spreading man. Really, he is not to be trusted.


Well Muslims are not 40% of the U.K population (as I believe is the case with the Netherlands...I think). If it reached such "levels" maybe Farage would go for the jugular, but at the moment he lets off the odd bit of "its no sin to be patriotic yadadadada" but generally sticks to border control and Europe.

This massive of an attack isn't going to occur without some major repercussions. There will be ripple effects.

True, for whatever reason, the identitaires movements in France can choose to blow themselves up in the midst of fellow Français de souche. They might have taken a few wrong pills here and there and forgotten what their ideology stood for.

If you're willing to advance your agenda, whatever it may be, by engaging in terrorism, then I don't think it's too big a step from there to compromising some of your ideological principles.

They might have blown their way in with guns/grenades (or just used crowbars).

So that brings the death toll this year up to about 1612 deaths directly linked to Islamic Terrorism, well its about 9000 this decade alone (So statistically speaking you are a few hundred times more likely to die from Islamic Terrorism than a shark attack(and yet we cull sharks when they attack us, I mean seriously people sharks aren't the biggest threat out there))

Apparently hostages are being killed one by one according to someone trapped inside, obviously the captors know there is no way out of this without an extreme amount of prison or a bullet (http://www.theage.com.au/world/paris-sh ... kyvyc.html)

I don't really see that at all. Hollande has acted aggressive militarily. France and Switzerland both enacted laws aimed at culturally and religiously limiting Muslims. Tbh Muslims are better off in the US. We're use to brown people. Europe -not so much.

Trying to explore the idea from available poll data, France, despite these laws, does seem more accepting of Muslims and Islam than the United States, though not by much. On the other hand, the United States still seems more accepting than other major Western European nations. So, as a whole, Europe woul have to become more accepting of Muslims and Islam to be more like America.

I think an important point to say, though, is that being against some Muslim majority countries is not the same as being against Muslims or Islam itself. No more than being against Russia is being against the Orthodox Church.


Yah, exactly. There's this common myth that the US is anti-Islam. Sure Muslims aren't favored by most here, but the same can be said of Europe. And polls don't take into account micoaggressions.
