LONDON: Since the terror attacks hit the United States on Sept. 11 six years ago, Europe has suffered far more than the United States from new attacks and reported plots.
There were the train bombings in Madrid three years ago that killed 191 people, the London transit attack two years ago that killed 52 commuters and a string of foiled plots. Then there were the arrests last week in a plot in Germany that the police said could have caused even worse carnage than in Madrid or London.
In response, Europeans for the most part are looking inward to explain why Islamic extremists have made the Continent a favored target, while the United States has been spared - despite its leadership and the anger it has stirred waging wars in two Muslim countries.
In that setting, questions about how minority populations of Muslims are integrated into the mainstream are coming to the fore, along with basic questions about Islam itself. Less attention is being focused on finger pointing at the United States, analysts say.
The German newspapers writing about the arrest of three men - two German citizens who converted to Islam and a Turkish resident of Germany - did not mention the Bush administration. Instead, the papers focused on the debate about tougher security measures and Islam itself.
The German mass circulation newspaper, Bild, wrote Friday: "There are no easy answers. But the 1.4 billion or so Muslims owe it to the rest of the world to at least try to give answers and find a remedy. A religion with bloody margins does not belong in a world that wants to and must move closer together."

By the sounds of it, their last words will be "Bush's fault!"
Kindly let me explain,
You deserved it, it was your fault. The temerity to send those obnoxious French egotists down to Jerusalem a couple of times and interrupt the prayers of devout peace loving Muslims, you cads.
What's more, you let the King of Poland strut around Vienna disarming Muslim boys of their ornamental scimitars.
Further, you Spaniards were arrogantly unfriendly to your Moorish guests, not to mention the French and Spanish failure to address the Jewish problem. You even went so far as to interfere with those that would. You failed to take your que from the solution to the Armenian problem.
Lately, you let your women run around in all states of undress, you draw cartoons, and you refuse to sleep with goats.
Is it any wonder you suffer the consequences?
as euro-peons line up to accept dhimmi-hood, to pay their ‘protection’ and dhimmi taxes... some of them finally begin to understand
Too little, too late.
Doesn't sound like they've learned anything, to me.

Pansy euro dumbasses.
instrospection is a good thing isn’t it?
Could it be because America is armed to the teeth, allowed by the Consitution and Europe does not?
Plus the Muslims that are living in this country have gotten the message for the last six years, “we are keeping our eyes on you”.
“The German mass circulation newspaper, Bild, wrote Friday: “There are no easy answers.

The Muslims need to clean their house out and get rid of this filth if it wants to be a part of the global community.
