The question is why did the Europeans let this islamic terrorist network establish itself in their countries? I can only come to the conclusion that the powers that be wanted it there. With Europe plunged into fear and chaos, will they then be able to seize control of the government and the economy?

The war between Islam and the West has begun. The major battles are still in the future. It will last for 100 years. Who will be the victor?

Blame desire for cheap Muslim labor. Especially Turkish. Add to this an insane multi culturalism that wants to dilute and ruin any "white" nation including our own. Yes Virginia, the US is still basically a white European nation. Also the Euros are becoming godless enough to cede their nations to Muslims with their high birthrates.

One man, a scourge on his own people, did recognize and attempt to reign in radical islam. Look what happened to Milosevic. The irony of his ongoing tribunal trial goes unmentioned (but widely noted.)

Never attribute a suicidal action by a leftist to planning when simple stupidity and willful blindness work as an explanation.

They didn't want to know about the threat. So they didn't.
