The Manchester massacre underscores complaints from counterterrorism analysts that Europe has fallen into denial about the threat of Islamic terrorism.
For instance, London Mayor Sadiq Khan is on record as saying terrorism is part and parcel of urban life.
Furthermore, London police said in March that they could not assign a motive to a vehicle attack in which a Muslim British citizen followed the Islamic State tactical playbook by driving an SUV over pedestrians on crowded Westminster Bridge.
After the Brussels airport/subway bomb attacks in March 2016, U.S. officials said the Belgian capital was behind the times in basic intelligence-sharing.
Europe has become home to thousands of migrants from Islamic State-infested Syria and other Muslim-majority countries. Social media messaging indicates that the terrorist group has nurtured its leaders right under the noses of European intelligence agencies. Steven Stalinsky, who directs the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), estimates that thousands of Islamic State supporters are in Europe. He bases the estimate on the large number of social media conversations.

The perp profile is well known. Perps must not be hindered in any way, in fact they must be actively imported. Then a surveillance grid will be installed “for security” - which 9 times out of ten fails with repeated mass deaths.
Citizens are collateral damage, nations a nuisance. The global surveillance control state must be built. Terrorism provides the excuse.
change comes when you remove the despicable politicians who are protecting the savages that prey on your family
Amazing isn’t it?
Weak and stupid, why not colonize Europe?
It’s there for the taking.
LOL, yes...
I’m suspecting the Saudis have paid off a bunch of European politicians to facilitate the Muslim invasion.
These are the same people who find abortion normal.
Should have been the headline: “UK Intelligence Services fail miserably again”. After spending billions of pounds on intelligence services, the services could not discover a bomb network plot right under their noses but could spy on Trump in the US and have its current and former queer, freak, pervert, traitor and incompetent “intelligence experts” fabricate fake dossiers.
What is so perplexing about politicians being bought and paid for by islamic money just look at Capitol Hill.
Being a mother or a father, however, means that you have a very real stake in the future of the country you lead. Europe's most important leaders leave no children behind.
Europe's most important leaders are all childless: German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and the French presidential hopeful Emmanuel Macron. The list continues with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, Luxembourg's Prime Minister Xavier Bettel and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
As Europe's leaders have no children, they seem have no reason to worry about the future of their continent. German philosopher Rüdiger Safranski wrote:
"for the childless, thinking in terms of the generations to come loses relevance. Therefore, they behave more and more as if they were the last and see themselves as standing at the end of the chain".

Terrorism is the result of ignoring the reality of islam and inviting in murderous hordes in the name of cultural fairness. Socialism is attractive until is comes to sacrificing your own children and your own family for the greater good.
Racial guilt is a mighty weapon.
If you look dispassionately at the record (and I know it's difficult to be dispassionate when something like this happens), the UK security forces have had far more successes than failures in dealing with Muslim terrorism over the last decade. In that period there have been three 'successful' terrorist attacks (ie resulting in fatalities): the Lee Rigby killing, the Westminster Bridge attack earlier this year, and now this. Manchester was the first such attack anywhere in the UK outside London.
Meanwhile, in the last 3 years alone, there have been over 90 convictions for conspiracy to commit acts of terrorism - in other words potential attacks which were foiled by security before they could happen.
That's not a bad record in the circumstances.
"Part and parcel of living in a great global city is youve got to be prepared for these things, youve got to be vigilant, youve got to support the police doing an incredibly hard job...The terrorists are evolving their tactics and we have got to evolve our response to them all the time. I am afraid the consequences of a terror attack are very, very scary. They want to kill. They want to maim and terrify. It is my job to try to make sure that we are as safe as we can be.
The omission of the subsequent sentences in the way his remarks are usually reported not only changes completely the sense of what he was saying, it's also a classic example of media spin. It's not just the liberal media who are adept at this.
Yep - echoes of Obama telling us we should be prepared to accept some wonton killings as a “part of life”....
