My understanding is that Denmark has very loose laws regarding immigration and welfare, it basically hands out free money to anyone who comes. And also, my understanding is that the far-right groups that are now having power in the government AREN'T Pro-taking-better-efforts-for-assimilation, just Anti-Islam and Pro-Raicsm. Since 44% of terrorist attacks in the US from 1980-2006 were Latinos (Mexican) does that mean that Latinos are bad people and can't live in a more developed country? Because we either don't help them assimilate or give them too many freedoms. I'm not saying you act or think like this, but this is basically the people who you are siding with.

Found an article about the percentage of terrorist attacks in Europe relating to Islam (not necessarily a continuation of our discourse with Lysabild, which, really, has nothing left to add).

I knew that already, having spent a fair bit of time reading about the various minor cultures often forgotten. Like the Basques, Aragonese, Catalonians, Frisians, the difference between the Lombards and the Sicilians, Occitanians and so on.

People have a bad habit of thinking France, Spain, England, Italy and so on are homogenized people. Spain was made through the gradual unification of 4 kingdoms. Leon, Castille, Aragon and Navarra and then there was Granada and the muslim Andalucians. France was not much different, just duchies instead of kingdoms.

Anyway, I'm ranting, fact is Europe is filled with suppresed minorities who wish for their own nation or more autonomy.

Terror is feared in Denmark mostly because of the millions of threats the Cartoons caused, not because it has proved to be a numerous thing to happen in the EU. Personally I've never feared terror as much as walking down Blågaardsplads(Locally famous ghetto) in the night.

And by reading the comments section, I'm reminded that America by no means has the monopoly on online idiocy.

Yeah, that squares pretty well with the numbers I remember when I was looking at the Global Terrorism Database a few years back in grad school. Outside of the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent, religion in general is rarely the motive force in terrorism.

All news outlets have comment sections filled with idiots. Who else would turn to the comment section of news websites to voice their opinion on a regular basis?
