    Lol it gets better. I remember an article where in one school (Dunno if Sweden, it might actually have been Germany) girls who weren't dating "minorities" were pulled aside and examined in order to see if they were racially motivated.

    Picking up on a point raised early ISIS are not identical to Al Qaeda, they are produced in Mosques that are preaching the Wahhabi sermons. The same sermons that Al Qaeda used. The rhetoric is the same. Sewing division amongst communities. The years of warfare have made them harsher and harsher and they are still are spreading their message across the world. Europeans heading to the Muslim World to engage in Jihad. This is exactly what Osama Bin Laden wanted. The leadership has scattered.

    A solution to this is turn off the funding tap.

    Ban the construction of Wahabbi backed Saudi mosques in Europe. Close those that are open now and demolish them.

    The second step is to turn our backs on Saudi Arabia.

    Stop buying their Oil. Stop selling them weapons. Place travel bans on their Royal Family. Ban them from investing in the western stock markets/property markets.

    Turn Saudi into a Pariah state.

    Don't see it happening mind...

    what you are referring to is the strategy of both AL Qaeda and latterly IS, to use the radicalisation of young muslim europeans as a weapon against Europe.

    IN that regards IS and Al Qaeda was very different, AL Qaeda fundamentally believed the west to be the central problem in the Middle East. ( the great satan and all that ) It was not particularly concerned with the Sunni Shia divide ( upto a point).

    IS actually has little internet interest in the West, IT merely wants to be left alone to build its Caliphate,( and destroy the Shias) a process the west is involved in seriously denying it so.

    as a result , IS is striking at Europe more in retaliation to its involvement against IS, then a fundemental relief that the west must be destroyed.

    And as IS is being cornered and broken up by a combination of arab powers, the west and russia, it is intensify its actions in the West as it acts like a cornered rat.

    of course what radical muslims clerics are telling gullible young disenfranchised 2nd generation muslims , is anyones guess , IS care not

    I am just afraid the situation might end up even worse then.
    Best way is to defeat isis where they are,get Syria back on their feet again and send back all the refugees to build up their country again.
    Then the immigration to Europe will end too.

    Because it can't. At least from an American point of view. As long as they sell their oil exclusively in dollars, they'll be kept there. Oil will have to run out first :(

    IS as a conquerer of territory is essentially defeated or in the process of being defeated

    Unfortunately its way too simplistic to suggest that the terrorist actions can be reduced or eliminated by sending recent immigrants back.

    The issue is that the EU has 19 million or so legal Muslims , many 2nd generation European citizens and that is providing fodder for radicalisation

    The immigrants are actually not the main problem or source of terrorism

    Difference between a refugee or asylum seeker.
    Most refugees are only here on a temporary basis.
    No refugees are not the problem,the problem is that asylumseekers and terrorists are using it as an excuse to get to Europe.

    you keep failing to address my point

    Sending syrian immigrants home , will in no way lesson the ability of IS and others to radicalise European Muslims , who are typically European citizens . all it will do is make the xenophobics feel better

    Haven't read the thread, but perhaps someone could give me a quick answer.

    I had heard for a few days that an Irish citizen was in a critical condition, confirmed in many websites.

    Then someone was telling me that he was supposedly ok.

    Confused? How do you go from critically ill to ok?

    IS will not stop building their Caliphate in Syria and Iraq. They intend to reconquer the Arab world including Jerusalem, Mecca & Medina. You make a big mistake in believing ISIS are not interested in the whole Arab world. Then when will it end, Andalusia the Balkans who knows even as far as Paris, London and New York all teaming with Islamic followers.

    No thats true,but seemingly the more muslims the worse it gets.
    France and Germany have the biggest muslim populations in Europe.
    And my point is,to get even more into Europe will not make the situation any better,thats more food for radical islamists.
    And yes i agree with closing down mosques supported by terrorists,and also send back radical imams.
    But to provoke the Saudis could escalate the situation even worse.

    while I love your " IS to take over the world " biblical stuff , the reality on the ground is that IS as a cohesive force capable of taking and holding territory is finished. It was never going to succeed, against the might of armies that were ranged against it

    The issue now is that IS will splinter and sunder and decend into a revenge group against the west

    The failed state of Iraq and Irans intentions in it , will keep the Sunnis on a fearful existence and this will continue to provide a breeding ground for Sunni extremists as will the money flowing from Saudi A.

    while the IS conflict in Syria and Iraw will come to an end , I fear that the remnants of IS will become more anti -west in nature as revenge sets in . This could mean an escalation in terror attempts

    there is enormous evidence that Saudi Arabia is funding and encouraging Sunni extremism , not withstanding that it sees itself in a proxy war with ****e Iran anyway. There is evidence that it is implicated in 9.11 and other atrocities

    The US is of course famously blinded by the doctrine of the enemy of my enemy is my friend , and forgets that that " friend " may also be your enemy too.

    Saudi Arabia is the elephant in the room when it comes to the problem of Sunni extremism. By right, Saudi Arabia should be a combination of Spain and Norway: a rich progressive, democratic country with an educated and progressive government and people with a massive tourist industry. Instead, it is backward, corrupt, unequal and above all fascist. Saudi could be the role model for the Middle East in a good way but is actually the opposite. Other countries in the region have the excuse of war and estranged relationships with the world. Saudi Arabia have none of these excuses and is more repressive than any other country in the region apart from terrorist controlled parts of Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan and North Africa.

    Saudi Arabia of course funds a lot of terrorism in the Middle East. This is ignored by everyone: the US, Europe, even Israel. They all have decided to blame Iran instead for what Saudi Arabia funds. Saudi Arabia = world's number one sponsor of terrorism but also as it stands the world's number one oil supplier. They are holding all the aces and they know the world needs them more than they need the rest of the world. You notice too every event of the recent Middle East history benefited Saudi:

    Iran Iraq war neutralised Saudi's two main oil rivals. Afghanistan proved a handy country to infiltrate and turn this Persian country into Saudi Arabia without oil. The Iraq v America wars totally destroyed Iraq, Saudi's main Arab oil rival. 9/11 of course only added to this because Bush was going to blame Saddam anyway. America's anti-Iran stance conveniently shifted the blame for what Saudi was up to. Khatami's and Ahmadinejad's attempts to reach out to Bush to improve relations were 100% ignored and that suited Saudi. Syria being in a mess and North Africa too only furthered Saudi's position as the only Arab regional power.

    Saudi's desires to eliminate Persian (Iran, Afghanistan) culture and to make sure other rising Arab powers were cut down seems to be working out well other than the fact that Iran is moving in a positive direction. Of course Iran is more of a friend to America and the West than Saudi Arabia. The problem is they have not recognised this and have scuppered many opportunities to heal relations with Iran mainly because of Saudi Arabia. With Iran's oil and gas industry becoming more and more modern, perhaps Saudi Arabia's day as the main oil power will end. The sooner this happens the better.

    The Non-Proliferation Treaty was designed to diminish the stockpiles of Nuclear weapons in use. Given recent actions Nations can easily make the argument that Nuclear and Chemical Weapons are needed as a deterrence from an aggressor.
