All the EU nations put together is almost the same size as the continental US. I don't know if they are either having an intelligence problem or not working together to track down on these terrorist groups. The US is as much a target for terrorism as the EU, but it doesn't seem to happen as often as in Europe. That's what puzzles me.o_O
There's also the fact a lot more Muslims live in the EU than in the US, and European societies haven't assimilated their Muslim immigrants as well as America has.

In 2011 there was a lot of admiration in European media and in government pronouncements from several European countries for the courageous terrorists who helped NATO destroy Libya and then went to Syria to repeat that performance. The second was not successful and official attitude changed when Cameron didn't succeed in winning approval from the UK parliament for bombing Syria. In that time many young Muslims received the opinion that terrorism was good.

I was thinking what to say, recalled the outrageous EU idea to fine the EU countries not accepting Migrants (I posted about it in
Europe Refugee Crisis
thread: Oct 16, 2016), as this month the EU tried again!! (in short, recently Poland and Hungary accepted zero (0) Migrants, the Czech Rep. twelve (12), and from what I figured Slovakia threatened to sue the EU over this); I hope Migrants won't come here from Manchester, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Moscow or whenever else

And here I was, thinking it would be crass to bring up politics so soon after this tragedy...

Yes, all good points.

1. Europe by nature of geography is much much closer than the US (not to mention land access) so naturally immigrants and refugess from north africa, mid east etc would more likely go there than the US.

2. Disparate policies and immigration standards. Unlike the US, EU consist of 28 member states with varying degress of governments, status, etc. In spite of many standardization it's obviously not as cohesive as a single entity (US).

3. Assimilation and indoctrination. Most Muslim and Arab immigrants assimilate fairly well into US culture, society etc. Part of that is because most of these immigrants (compared to those in Europe) are already fairly educated, well adjusted people when they come.

4. US immigration takes in a significantly lower number and when they do it's trickle in and not en-mass (again partly due to point 1). Logic would suggest that taking in 10 fairly educated individuals spanned over time would allow them to integrate into society much easier and efficient than taking in 100 at the same time and dumping them all into one place.

I believe these fundemental reasons are WHY you have so many more disenfranchised Muslim/Arabs in Europe than in the US.

I live in St.L. We have the LARGEST Muslim Bosnian congregation in the world outside of Bosnia. I can tell you first hand they are outstanding citizens and for the most part have integrated 100% into the American society.

It adds: "Types of attacks have included suicide bombing and small-arms fire, targeting public and crowded places.

"The threat from Islamist extremism remains high, though the Indonesian authorities continue to disrupt attack planning, including arresting alleged terrorists reportedly in the advanced stages of preparation."

East Jakarta suicide bombers linked to ISIS: Indonesia police

JAKARTA - The two suspects who killed three policemen at a bus terminal in East Jakarta on Wednesday (May 24) night in a suicide-bombing had ties to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the police said on Thursday (May 25).

Police spokesmen told a briefing the militants, who were killed in the twin blasts, had links to ISIS, and the bombs they used were low-grade explosives similar to the type used in a February attack in Bandung which was also linked to ISIS.

The first bomb was detonated outside a public toilet late on Wednesday, and the second near a bus stop some 10 metres away, police spokesman Inspector-General Setyo told reporters.


Police found an invoice dated May 22 from a store in Padalarang, West Java, for the purchase of a pressure cooker at the site, he said, as well as aluminum plates, nails, ball bearings, cable-switcher, and other bomb-making materials.


Insp-Gen Setyo said the attack is similar to the Bandung one, which was launched by a lone militant whom authorities suspected of having links to a radical network sympathetic to ISIS.

Earlier on Thursday a police source had told The Straits Times the Jakarta attackers were also linked to extremists in Poso, Central Sulawesi.


The source identified the first suspect as Solihin, an administrative staff at the Darul Anshor, an Islamic boarding school in Poso, and the other as Ichwan Nurul Salam, a 34-year-old man from Bandung, West Java.

Police are still verifying the personal information of the alleged attackers, the source added.

President Joko Widodo condemned the attack on Thursday.

"This is execrable. Ojek (motorcycle taxi) driver fell victim, public minivan driver, store sellers, as well as policemen," Mr Joko told reporters in his hometown in Central Java, referring to the three slain police officers and 11 others injured, the presidential palace said in a statement.

The number of injured was previously given as 10.

While the police believe the suspects had ties to extremists in Central Sulawesi, counter-terrorism investigators are trying to establish if they were also linked to the remnants of the East Indonesia Mujahideen (MIT) militant group which operates out of Poso.

The MIT is behind several terror attacks in Indonesia since 2012, including skirmishes with security forces during which police officers and people in Central Sulawesi were killed.

MIT leader Santoso, also known as Abu Wardah, and another MIT combatant, were killed in the fire-fight last year. Santoso and his men from MIT had pledged allegiance to Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Three Indonesian policemen were killed and five other officers were injured after the two suspects allegedly set off what was believed to be a pressure cooker bomb near a bus terminal in Kampung Melayu, in East Jakarta, at about 9pm local time on Wednesday.

It appeared that the bombing followed a similar pattern of attack by domestic militants targeting local police officers in Indonesia.

The policemen had assembled to escort a scheduled parade organised by a community group in the neighbourhood when the explosion was heard, said the police.

It also came just three days before the Muslim fasting month begins on Saturday.

On July 5 last year, just days before fasting month was to end, a suicide bomber on a motorcycle blew himself up after he was stopped by officers from entering the local police headquarters in Solo city.

The bomber had used low-grade explosives in the homemade bomb, which like most improvised explosive devices (IEDs), contained ball-bearings and screws, and was trying to attack the policemen as they reported for their shift.

Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim-majority country, has long struggled with Islamic militancy. Hundreds of radicals from the South-east Asian state have flocked to Syria to fight with ISIS, sparking fears that weakened extremist outfits could get a new lease of life.
