Not for nothing but... COME ON! "Civilized societies"? The very same societies that decided to bomb Middle Eastern countries back to the Bronze Age because of oil are now calling themselves "civilized"?
It delusion/lunacy at its best.
I have no love for terrorism, but we, as a nation, have to face reality and take ownership of some of the blame for people in those very same countries we have been bombing (on and off) for the past 20 years becoming radicalized beyond belief.
They certainly didn't pop up from out of nowhere. We helped create the monster.
I totally agree with you, the west (primarily US/UK) has meddled in the affairs of the middle east for decades, to the point that people there cant remember what normality looks like.
That meddling is the
cause of the problem
Terrorist acts are a
symptom of that problem. There is a deep seated hatred toward the west amongst some muslims and people in the middle east.
With that said, having Terrorist acts occur on our doorstep, in Europe, with the frequency that they do, is not only a symptom of this meddling but also due to the EU's open door policy in immigration.
If we had strict immigration policies, secure borders across europe, there would be significantly less terrorist events occurring on our doorstep, regardless of whether the west was meddling in the middle eat or not. Uncontrolled mass immigration is a cause of these terrorist events happening here, because it allows both existing terrorists to move freely into countries and it allows large populations of people who have a higher propensity to be radicalized to grow within western countries. If there were no muslims in France, the chances of these events happening would be much reduced.
Labour opened the flood gates in the UK, and we have already experienced our terrorist events on our doorstep.
Labour along with the Lib-Dems can be strung up by the balls as well!
