If you are being attacked you have to ask why they are attacking you and inevitably you have to take some responsibility for the events because almost without exception, you are being attacked because the person who is attacking you sees you as their enemy.

Critical reflection of everything involved with terrorism as well as why that terrorism is happening.

The more we allow into the West the more terrorism their will be and that is on their heads not ours. We are making it too easy for them and we have to stop doing that. Too many are eaten up with hate - it seems to be a way of life for some.

It doesn't take foreigners to recruit, raise funds and train others. Many of the more robust extremists are Muslim converts who were born here. You say too many are eaten up with hate. I say a select few have been radialized to become fascist Islamists but I also say that those select few are a huge risk to us and that we need better solutions to seek out and apprehend them before they go on to commit their atrocities.

Are the French, Swedes, Germans holding hands with the USA - attacks there have increased - mainly due to their willingness to take so many refugees. Look at the thanks they get for that.

Yes, each one of those countries have been holding hands with the USA.

How do you suggest we do things differently - appease them, bow down to them, don't make them angry. These people thrive on fear - it's how they get their rocks off.

Why do you say such ridiculous things such as "bow down to them". I haven't suggested for a moment that we should appease them or bow down to them but I do believe we need different strategies because what we have done thus far just seems to fire these people up to commit more atrocities. We are dealing with people who are blinded by a cause. The word jihad has been hijacked and perverted to mean violent struggle wherever Muslims are undergoing difficulties, and turned into terrorism by fascistic Islamists like al-Qaeda, IS and others and whatever we do, these people are one step ahead of us.

Closing borders will make no difference because they are already here.
