Why Europe has a bigger terror problem than the U.S.
CNN ^ | Thu March 24, 2016 | Ryan Browne

Tuesday's bombings in Brussels left at least 31 people dead and 300 wounded. They are the latest additions to an increasingly long list of casualties from attacks across the breadth of Europe. Paris, Ankara and Istanbul have all been similarly targeted in the past five months.

But the United States has yet to see such a sophisticated ISIS attack, with trained fighters and direction from the organization's leadership.

It's not that it couldn't happen here, but military, law enforcement and other security-focused officials agree that it's much less likely. As Secretary of Defense Ash Carter told CNN's Carol Costello on Wednesday, "We don't have them (terrorists) here in the United States in anything like the numbers they do in Europe."

The Atlantic Ocean plays a big part.....

The muzzies can walk to Europe from Turdistan or just take a short boat trip across the Mediterranean.

Well, no one is doing anything to keep it that way, so we'll catch up to Europe soon enough.

at least Mexico is Catholic!
I’d rather have a Mexico problem than a Muslim problem.
Period.

“Not biting the hand that feeds them” is more likely.

Obama is working on that as fast as he can. He will do everything possible to import tens of thousands of Islamists before the end of his term and anything else he can to weaken the US; even more than he has already done.

Another thing, Europe has a lack of security apparatus to take on ISIS Terrorists in Europe. The only competent Europeans are probably the Brits with their M16. If I’m British, I would probably vote to withdraw from EU and close the borders.

NO, just illegals killing young women at the Embarcadero in the middle of the afternoon, killing many people in drunken car crashes, and generally raising the crime level and lowering the education level of every place they infest. Remember that a lot of Muslims came to Europe "to do the jobs Europeans wouldn't do". Sound familiar?

Stunning article.

The discipline of most reporters is amazing, and their adherence to an unspoken rule is something almost to be admired.

This article breaks that rule, and thus releases information otherwise forbidden the reader.

It uses the word Muslim.

Savor this article, there few, very few, like it.

More Moslems. Fewer armed citizens.
And we have a sneaky, underhanded surveillance system. Half the Jihadis find themselves doing business with the FBI when they try to acquire arms and explosives.

Edward Snowden is a traitor. Big Brother is looking for Johnny Mohammed. Big Brother doesn’t care that I’m watching stupid cat videos on YouTube.

“American Muslim communities are more integrated...”

What BS!

It should be “Americans have lower percent of population than Europe, though the DemocRATS are working hard to change that...”
