In an unrelated note, it is annoying how the main victims of Islamist extremism does happen to be Muslims themselves, but it's only a huge issue that needs every Muslim to have to come out and say it is wrong when it occurs in a western nation and it is made out like it is only a problem for the people of Europe/USA.

You're right, BL. Many victims of ISIL are Muslim. And many are not. And many Western Muslims condemn atrocities and support the people suffering. And many Western non-Muslims do the same. It's unfair to suggest that people only make a noise about this stuff when it happens in Europe or the US. People of all colours and creeds have been sickened by ISIL's actions in the Middle East and have not been backward in voicing that.

And now the fight is being brought to the streets of European capitals and really, no one is safe. But there is still a general reluctance for Muslims to come forward and condemn what the terrorists do, let alone pass on intelligence that could be helpful to the security services.
