“wishing death on others”

I don’t believe anybody on this message board is wishing harm to innocent people. Europeans have been hypocritical of the US policy on terror, but this doesn’t mean we hope they won’t live peaceful lives.

Europeans must come to grips with the problem, and stop Hollanders from killing one another because of religious differences. Immigrants should be able to cherish their traditions, but must adopt the culture of their host. If they are not willing to embrace their new home in their hearts, then they should move back to their homeland.

Hollanders, religious and secular, generally live by the golden rule; Radical Muslims view that cultural groove as a weakness to be exploited. There is no common ground, no place for compromise. They'd say, "Make us!" [leave].

They like the West. They're staying. They will not be persuaded otherwise. Wishful thinking and fervent hope will not alter what is to come.
