3. Really, we can ponder this all we want, but in the end it

be their....end.
4. There is nothing to fear in EU
Harri ,   EU   (04.01.16)
We are fighting a global war against ISIS, and in global war there is always some casualties. Paris and Brussels were obvious targets and although many attacks were foiled, it was only a matter of time when some terrorists would succeed. Off course there is much to improve, but what ever we do there will be more casualties before this war is over. We should also remember that there will die about 100 people every day in traffic accidents in EU. There have died about 300 000 in Syria alone in this war and there was more European casualties by Al Qaida attacks during Afhganistan and Iraq wars. Life will go on in EU and those terror attacks will have no effect to the lives of the European people. Some security measures will be made, but it will not change the everyday life. We are not made of sugar in EU.
5. Get Jews and Nukes out of Europe
Eric R. ,   USA   (04.02.16)
Then let the two groups of Nazis - native European type (which is to say, most of Europe) and the Islamist type - fight each other for 50,000 years.
6. Here's what Europe can do to end Muslim terror
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (04.02.16)
Support Israel!! These woes Europe is feeling are a direct result of eons of anti semitism. Europe had two evils prior, being ruled by either church or state.... Now, she's being attacked by her former Nazi allies, the palestinians.G-d has a divine sense of justice. BUILD MORE !!

9. #4:You read as: "What's wrong with EU-thinking in a nutshell
(04.02.16)
You're at war with ISIS?! Poor dumbo... You're at war with ISLAM, or rather Islam is at war with your sorry ass! (and the rest of infidels) So you'll die in car accident or Muslim bombing: it's all the same to you? Just matter of statistics?! Good luck to you, you won't need it, since even luck has to befall someone with brains enough to utilize it.
10. #4. Islamists are taking over cowardly E.U.
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.02.16)
#4. Your post represents the cowardice and blindness of official E.U. "thinking". The reality is that Islamists are taking over the E.U. demographically, culturally and in every respect. Europe could still save itself. But that would require guts and unwavering morals. Which the E.U. doesn't have.
11. #9 Why are you so upset?
Harri ,   EU   (04.02.16)
If Israel can manage about 50% Muslim population, why should we be worried of 2% Muslim population in EU? To be honest, we don't have any more problems with Muslims than we have with any other minorities. There has been terrorism in Europe for centuries. During cold war with communist states, there were mostly communist terror groups, during wars with Muslim states there is some Muslim terror groups. When there is war, there is always terror, as you perfectly know. Anyway, we don't have any problems with Muslims. Most of the European Muslims understand why we are at war with ISIS. In EU we have true freedom of religion, so we don't have as difficult problems as Israel has with minority religions. You have made your own Muslim terrorism problem by treating Muslims as second class citizens if they have citizenship at all. Don't try to export your problems to EU. We don't like stupid ideologies no matter if they come from ISIS or from Israel.
12. #4 - 1984 is already here
Avi L.   (04.03.16)
Mass immigration of non assimilated people, mass unemployment, right wing populist parties, emergency laws restricting basic rights, widespread social unrest ... nothing to fear? EU already has near dictatorship laws embedded in the 2005 european constitution. Wait for the european people to understand what these laws and the transatlantic trade agreements mean. There will be a reason to worry.
