By Mal Fletcher, published 16/11/2015The best responses to attacks like these might be renewed vigilance without terror, social tolerance without moral blindness and wariness without paranoia.

Interesting comments here! I am writing from the middle of Western Europe. People are waking up to what Popper said: Tolerance leads to intolerance.
As one well known German newspaper commentator said today: We are weak, we know that and prefer our heads in the sand. The mood will change here very quickly. First those ready to fight for themselves will be called nazis. But defending oneself against the most brutal ideology on earth has nothing to do with being left or right politically. Things will change very quickly. Posted by renysol, Tuesday, 17 November 2015 8:55:50 AM

"Just as well I'm taking my medication" - YEBIGA
There is no proof of that in your previous two posts. I just returned from an extended trip overseas. The newspapers I had access to almost daily carried an article that revealed the average person on the street in Europe (from the left or right) is not happy about a million Muslims spreading themselves throughout Europe. The governments of most European countries have reversed their open borders policies and those that haven't are facing serious backlash from the general populace.

There has already been a turnaround in sympathy in Europe.
I suggest you watch the video linked below. Note the rave by the "immigrant" on the train on the way to Germany. It is at 09:40 on the video. http://tinyurl.com/q44bt4b If the German & French people rise up in revolt it will turn into a civil war on a greater scale than Syria. I just do not understand why politicians are so stupid. Is the brainwashing of political correctness been that effective ? Posted by Bazz, Tuesday, 17 November 2015 10:25:38 AM
