31. Muslims don't see Germany as an easy target
Shep ,   Memphis, TN - USA   (03.23.12)
Thommy: Let's wake up and smell the coffee my friend. If only 1% of the 50 million Muslims in the EU are Muslim extremists who sympathize with using terrorism as a tool, that's 500,000 people you have to watch over your shoulder. If only 10% of that 1% actually are motivated to act or collaborate with actual terrorists, that's 5,000 ticking bombs on your hands. As for Germany, the Muslims fear the well trained and efficient German military. The Munich massacre was a black eye for Germany and they have upped their game to the highest standards. Muslims look for easy targets starting with a lazy country like France that allows them total freedom to act.
32. #26
Ram ,   London   (03.23.12)
Well...it appears that all is OK in the EU, according to you; just a "minor problem". I guess we should all be happy then. Radical Islam spreading throughout the EU is just a figment of our imagination.
33. @ nr 29 i dont
thommy ,   germany   (03.23.12)
i didnt forget munich but 1 its long ago 2 they werent german muslims they were palestinians
34. growing....
Eisenfeld ,   Vincennes   (03.23.12)
Terrorist as anything grows when the conditions facilitate this. In Europe the authorities let for many years to develop a demonization of Israel and the jews so the acting out like this are not a surprise.The governements are also to blame for this happening.
35. It's not so Black and White.....
Froike ,   NY NY   (03.23.12)
To quote an overused cliche, "All Muslims are not Terrorists, but these days, all Terrorists happen to be Muslims". As a Jew that has many close Muslim friends, I try to be as objective as possible. Finatical Islam gives the average Muslim a bad name. However, the demographics of Islam are frightening: In the US, we estimate that there are ten million Muslims. If only one percent of them are radicals, that's an entire army division! Unfortunately, I believe Civil War with Islamic Radicals is inevitable on every continent. The question is not if, but when!
36. "Europeans horrified to contend with homegrown terrorists"
William ,   Israel   (03.23.12)
What - instead of supporting them in other lands against populations they don't like? Surprise, surprise. It's called poetic justice, just like what's happening in the Middle East now but the intellectuals in Europe call that "Arab Spring" because it sounds airy and fun, like the annual festival in Glastonbury.
37. 11-The audit continues.
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.23.12)
38. Not only would be terrorists
Pieter Helenius ,   Amsterdam   (03.23.12)
are Europe´s problem, but mainly the disgusting `Gutmensch`, which is tearing down our societies. They are the ones giving the oppurtunity and supporting to maintain a medieaval culture in modernized western societies. It´s them who give credits to the people with awkward theocratic ideas. As long as people are voting for "labour" (what a laugh) and/or "Green" parties Europe will decline and diminish in an eruption of 3rd world violance and backwardness. As soon as the revolution comes, these ones are the first to go after! After all, treason is the worst crime for societies based on trust.
39. By the way
Ram ,   London   (03.23.12)
I just got back from Dubai. Interestingly, only a tiny percentage of the arab women I saw had their faces covered. A few covered their heads and most didn't. Is it not strange that more muslim women cover up in the EU than they do in an arab country?
40. @nr 31 and nr 33
thommy ,   germany   (03.23.12)
yeah 5000 ticking bombs and 49 million more or less good citizens u see what i mean? and as for germany our military is not allowed to do police work so the extremists dont care about the army also the german police has way less tools that are allowed then in the rest of europe its working better in germany because the muslims have jobs nr 33 yeah its not as big a problem as said in the article there are a lot of extremists but also a lot of good muslims
41. Muslim demohraphic is a global threat, not just an european!
Balthazar   (03.23.12)
42. Incorrect, misleading title
Tom ,   USA   (03.23.12)
Nightmare is what people abhor and don't want get into. The Islamisation of Europe is welcomed by the Leftist leaders, most of them with Marxist/Communist background like EU Pres. Barroso (Maoist) or C. Ashton the Jew basher. The German Socialist leader calls Israel an "apartheid" nation but they purged anybody critical of Islam in Germany (Sarrazin). There is an active persecution going on against anybody who protests the ongoing Leftist Islamisation: Brigitte Bardot (Fr.), Oriana Fallaci (It. RIP), E. Sabaditsch (Austria) all were persecuted for their words. So this not "Nightmare" - but the will of the EU voters who voluntarily forsook their national culture and embraced Islam. Sing now the song: "Don't cry me for Europa"...(freely after "Evita")
43. #26. thommy: remember Erich Honecker
Tom ,   USA   (03.23.12)
Are you a revisionist of History? The Communists killed more Germans than the rightists but they "did it for the good reason" - am I right? How about the brutal murder of a German girl by a Turk few weeks ago? How about the many "honor killing" in Germany by the Islamists? How about a number of German Jihadist in Afg.stan, and the arrested Syrian just yesterday (source: Der Spiegel). The Hamburg cell? (9/11 N.Y.C.) Just because German police is sophisticated and prevents terror it doesn't mean that your co-religionists don't plan. Effendi, you are way off....
44. Thommy # 33 and 40
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.23.12)
It's true that there are nice Muslims but the fact that they belong to the religion of peace (sarcasm) they are afraid for their lives to speak out. As for their not being German Muslims it makes no difference. They can call themselves Martian Muslims but the bottom line is..... they are in fact Muslims.
45. why don't you talk about Israel's own home terrorists ?
CHAIM.S 54th st ,   brooklyn ny   (03.23.12)
Israel is the only country that over 15% of it's citizens are outright enemies of their own country,and pray five times a day for it's demise and destruction. Now this is a real problem, 25 yrs ago,there was a certain rabbi in the Knesset who tried to warn us of this danger,and for that he was thrown out
46. #6 Bertram, relax...We're also OK with the Queen
Ben-Africa   (03.23.12)
WEARING A BURKA.
47. @nr 43
thommy ,   germany   (03.23.12)
the commu nists killed more germans then the rightists? u mean the raf i guess if u summarize the killings of oktober fest bombing the killing series of turkish people and all the other rightist shit then its more then the lefitst killings but whatever the german police isnt that sophisticated the terrorists are stupid the hamburg cell? they lived in the usa too so what a german girl was killed? dont know about it and yeah the honor killings are a problem but still its only few killings
48. @nr 44
thommy ,   germany   (03.23.12)
there are radical christians and jews too there are american and german terrorists too the french first thought the killings wee nazi killings so.... there are lots of problems with the immigration but most muslims here obey the laws
49. #43#44 Situation in Germany is a bit different
1-2-3 ,   Ger-ma-ny   (03.23.12)
Radical Islam in Europe is mostly an Arabic/Pakistani movement, but only 15% of the Muslims in Germany are from these countries. Most Muslims living here are from Turkey and Bosnia (together 77%) and both countries are rather secular and modern. There is no place in Germany with a similar situation like in northern Paris, Malmö, etc.
50. Good article based on facts
StevieT ,   USA   (03.23.12)
We could argue about good Muslims vs. bad Muslims, but this article merely looks at Muslim attitudes and forecasts a troubling future for many European countries. Not the first piece of its kind, and certainly not nearly the last.
51. T in Tel Aviv
U. S. Exceptionalist   (03.23.12)
I think that it is much more likely that the article upsets your fantasy-based "Islam is a Religion of Peace" delusions. There is nothing in the article that is inaccurate or which news reports over the last 5 years has not proved to be true.
52. reading some of these comments
(03.23.12)
makes one assume that Jews are the biggest enemies of the people of Europe. Ynet constantly publishes a heap of intense Jewish hatred for all the nationalities and most religions in the world and then Jews complain about not being loved.
53. Corrupt and racist EU deserves fate!
(03.23.12)
Europe murdered 6 million Jews, terrorized the rest into leaving, and now they replaced productive, integrated and civilized Jews with hordes of genocidal Muslims, living off welfare paid by nerve Europeans, while devouring the society, heritage, religion and traditions of Europe. Europe deserves its fate: their blind hatred towards Jews left them easy prey to the new Muslim Conquest of Europe. Eurasia is a fait acompli, killed by its own corruption, racism, greed and laziness. I don't feel sorry for Europe!
54. #51.US Exceptionalist: It was Bush who said it
Tom ,   USA   (03.24.12)
"The Religion of peace" expression is used nowadays as a satirical or sarcastic description of Islam. Few people know that it was coined by former pres. Bush in the aftermath of 9/11. He wanted to prevent anti-Islamic retribution by the American people and at the same time he wanted to assuage the Islamic nations' fear of American hostility.
55. #53. QVOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM
Tom ,   USA   (03.24.12)
(Latin) " which has been demonstrated".
56. #11: And it was also a Muslim who foiled the plot
Canadian Dude ,   Canada   (03.24.12)
Nice of you to ignore the whole story out of convenience.
57. Israel needs to start paying Arabs to leave.
Chaim ,   Israel   (03.24.12)
Europe's Muslim nightmare is another example, like terrorism, of the Western World going the way of Israel. Israel had the first Muslim nightmare. Israel's Arab population is now nearly 20%. Most would prefer Israel become an Arab Muslim nation. Israel needs to start paying Arabs to leave. Than Europe, timidly at first, will follow suit. First Israel must save herself.
58. #5 you have no idea how lucky you are, but not for long...
(03.23.12)
Yep, what can I say, 99% of the Muslims make the 1% of the civilized ones look bad! Don't worry, at the rate they breed, and at the rate YOU breed, you'll either need to convert or live as a second rate citizen under Islamic rule. The outcome is inevitable for as long as useful fools like yourself refuse to see the reality for what it really is. Britannia is no more, pal. As many Muslim rioters around the Speaker Corner say: "the future of Britain is Islam", and it will, because instead of fighting for your home, you are busy throwing mud on ours.
59. #49 yeah, keep telling yourself that! Or pray. It's the same
(03.24.12)
60. Europe sowed the seed
martin ,   uk   (03.24.12)
now it's reaping the "benefits" of potential home grown terrorism. other countries will feel the full force of it, when the Muslims feel strong enough. in the meantime, they just keep demanding more and more and more the gates of vienna and battle at poitiers were a waste. it seems
