Following the Paris attacks, does EU counter-terrorism strategy need to change? After the September 11th attacks, European support for the “War on Terror” was high. Large majorities in Britain, France and Germany initially supported the US-led War on Terror, and it was not until the 2003 invasion of Iraq that that support began to evaporate. Even in the post-Bush era, a 2012 German Marshall Fund poll found that 71% of EU respondents approved of US President Obama’s efforts to fight international terrorism.
Experts have long been warning that the EU cannot solely rely on tightening border controls to prevent terror attacks on European soil. Today, in the wake of the 13 November 2015 attacks on Paris that left 129 dead and many wounded, is it time for EU countries to take a more pro-active approach to countering terrorism outside of Europe’s borders?
We had a comment sent in by Natan, arguing that Europe should do more to support the Arab world’s transition towards democracy, and should be much more active in the fight against terrorism.
To get a response, we spoke to Gilles de Kerchove, the EU’s Counter-Terrorism Coordinator. What would he say to Natan?
I fully share Natan’s view. And that is exactly what the EU Foreign Affairs Council agreed on 9th February 2015, when they decided to be much more engaged in our direct vicinity, i.e. all the countries around the Mediterranean, from Morocco to Turkey.
If you read the conclusions from the meeting, you will see that they are very ambitious and refer to the need for engagement at the highest level, including political engagement, engagement with civil society, and a lot more in terms of capacity building, to help all these countries to beef up their response, because we’re facing the same threat.
If you take the risk of returning jihadists from Syria and Iraq, it is not only a challenge for the EU Member States, but equally for Morocco, Tunisia and other countries. For example, Tunisia already has 3,000 citizens fighting alongside Jabhat Al-Nusra and Daesh… So, I fully endorse what Natan suggests, and that is what will happen.
To get another perspective, we also spoke to Bodil Valero, a Swedish Green MEP and member of the European Parliament Subcommittee on Security and Defence. How would she respond to Natan’s comment?
Of course, we should be working to counter terrorist groups, but we should also try to prevent the root causes of terrorism. In fact, that’s the approach we should be adopting for all EU external affairs; I think we have to do more to prevent problems instead of creating them.
This means, for example, offering greater help to other countries in terms of poverty reduction, and working to fight oppression and uphold civil liberties and human rights internationally.
How can Europe be more active role in the struggle against terrorism? Let us know your thoughts and comments in the form below, and we’ll take them to policymakers and experts for their reactions!

Yes.
against “big business” terrorism supported by rogue governments and corruptive relationships? off course! But that will never happen…
and I have to ask myself if many of these so called terrorism attacks are nothing more than black ops to justify higher control systems on the sleeping populations?
Not denying that some individuals are criminals, but like we saw in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Angola, etc … today a terrorist tomorrow president!
Pointless question really, simple answer… yes….in fact the whole world needs to be more active in the fight against terrorism
As for the comments about “supporting the Arab world’s transition to democracy”, it’s the misguided belief that the Arab world needs democracy that causes more problems than anything. Yes, quite a few people in certain Arab countries would like democracy but there is also a hell of a lot for whom the whole concept of democracy is alien to them and their culture.
The fact the west appears to be trying to impose its values on the Arab world is the biggest recruitment incentive for terrorists you will ever get
Exactly!
yes
Terrorists criminals and extremists, of all origins, must learn that if they make belligerent and fanatical claims upon the tolerance of free societies, they will meet the limits of that tolerance.
The question is – how do we do that?
ahhh ;) naughty question! More active yes, however anti terrorism politics should be reviewed. Violence against violence it’s not really the answer. Because violence was the cause of this mess in the first place. Wish you all a good day
Indeed
Terrorism Europe helps create , when you endlessly bomb/invade countries, it creates hate, no brainer, stay out of the wars and their will be no problems, its quite simple.
No. Aggression only escalates violence and legitimizes anti-western rhetoric. Containment is enough.
Europe is the accomplice of global terrorism because its support for the US&UK “war on terror” policy. The subversive war through terror, based on diversions, mediatic intoxication and mass manipulation, that is the accurate definition of terrorism, and that is what the Axe London-Washington-Bruxelles is doing. Can add Tel Aviv to that, because the western governments are using the Israel-Palestinian issues in order to justify their invasions in the Middle East.
9/11 had nothing to do with islamic terrorism. Lets not forget that, shall we?
Before coming to any conclusions ask yourself a few very alarming questions. We are told by very bright and well informed people that we are being taken for fools in order to back our various governments in promoting unrest and the chaos they need in order to keep this rotten show on the road.
Dig deep and don’t take the ranting of propaganda shoved on us by the truck load. Just ask yourself who is gaining what and why? Have an open mind.

Who is worthy of your trust?
EU is responsible of terroristmm… where the weapons are coming from? where the petrol is going?… stop sending weapons to ISIS trhough Qatar and Arabia Saud!. Jose Maria Aznar, and George Bush are now in the bussines of weapons!… so please, stop the hipocresy
This is USA problem , they start it because the petrol , let them finished if you cannot stop them !!!!
@Dimitris Stamiris
The USA is self-sufficient in energy and has been for decades. Thus your point is erroneous.
Yes when we can udentify who the terrorista are…
USA and Europe are the instigators and preservers of terrorism !
Yes. ..the European citizens we have to be more active against the terrorists. And the only terrorist is the state…burn a politician every day. Is better the result than to eat an apple, for our health…
Yes….let’s defeat Israel
EU is pretty active in terrorism
It is urgent that Europe realises that has been accomplice with those that are promoting several forms of terrorism and thus instilling hatred and revenge feelings.
Europe must realize that an increasing number of europeans are fed up with their politicians and with their lack of solidarity towards the week.
We are more afraid of our supposed allies than with those you insist in calling our enemies.
Wake up Europe.
YES!
Yes, within our borders, which should be extremely secured. Let other states deal with their own problems.
Yes !
Yes
Nope
Yes!
Nope. That’s too late and I’ll advised. Europe should be more involved with rooting out the CAUSES of terrorism. Generally, unhappy people have more reasons to rebel that happy people. Addressing unfairness and inequality world wide would go a long way in resolving terror, eg the Palestinian case being a good example of where more effort is needed. Once that is done, we’ll only be left with the odd depressive kind.
The less resistance the stronger they get
Yes
Let the USA extinct the fire which they started, Europe should not get involved.
I have yet to see anti-terrorist measures. All I see are “anti-terrorism laws” that allow governments to control and oppress their citizens by fear and threat which is – you guessed it – terrorism.
Yes for short
That should be a NATO task and not an EU task
Yes,certainly !
Yes, of course! Terrorism is a global threat, and deserves a European answer.
Still too many euro trolls paid to make euro propaganda. Please stop! Euro EU are total fail!!
ainda perguntam!?
A guerra no soluo para crise econmica…
YES!
Arghhh …..remain vigilant, prepared, cooperate, but do not become a US Askari!
Sorry, but why not “be more active in” accountability/progress updates by tracking the 10 policy areas under the “Juncker Agenda”- so proudly announced in Strasbourg, 22 October 2014- “THIS TIME IT’S DIFFERENT”- really? A gentle reminder to stay focused: http://ec.europa.eu/priorities/docs/pg_en.pdf
Priority No 1. “A New Boost for Jobs, Growth and Investment”
JCJ: “This is why I am proposing an ambitious investment programme. By February 2015, I would like to have put forward this ambitious package for growth, investment, competitiveness and jobs- to mobilise up to € 300 billion in additional public and private investment in the real economy over the next three years.” What happened Mr. JCJ?
https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/2015/02/16/juncker-plan-315bn-investment-eu-trouble-nobel-scientists-criticise/
……lowest priority:
& No 9. “A Stronger Global Actor”: – trade policy, development aid, participation in international financial institutions (troika?) and neighborhood policy- & an invitation to those who WISH to engage in joint EU missions in crisis zones if needed…….”
YES, The Powers of Nightmares, I think all European politicians should go to Middle East fighting ISIS, maybe them, will learn a good lesson before supporting some policies..
yes, waste them till they are there, in Iraq/Syria
Yes! We need an european acting military force to respond to challenges like ISIS.
Sure, Europe needs a one voice in the international affairs.
where were the mass destruction weapons in Irak ? nowhere, just like there was no link between Irak an 9/11 . all american wars, fals flag ops, agencies and NGOs funding “revolutions” worldwide and inside Europe, corrupted politicians preparing treaties such as TAFTA against their own people in EU, that’s the way you do it, propaganda and US led governments in UE . do you think people are stupid ? you act in the way you do .
Of course! Eu should have a role in counter terrorism activities in the Mediterranean area. First, we have to use our police intelligence to prevent the “foreign fighters” come back in Eu.
Second, we need to talk with moderate islamic states to improve their ability for fight ISIS.
Finally, we must work to reduce poverty in these countries.
Should Europe be more active in the fight against terrorism?
Absolutely yes. With Human Rights and Civil Liberties inside the Union unaffected.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1015170815182274&set=gm.721367554650536&type=1
Yes, especially against Isis.
We need safe world
:)
Noooooo! There s nothin t do! You can do nothin when brain is formated such!!
Europe is leam from your mistakes and the world have to be mobilized and the end to islamist groups that exist in the four comers of the world
Yes.
The human mind is beyong the items.
Yes !
No. Don’t escalade violence in our own house.
Yes but also Europe should stop hating those countries in the world that actually have the balls to fight terrorism as oppossed to just talking about it
I agree with Bodil Ceballos. We need to prevent terrorism. And we need to do in our schools. By a soft and gently pedagogy together. Where questions are asked in a standardised way. The pupils need to get modern coaching pedagogy now. Where they can progress during the school system. If we work together we can achieve miracles in the future. That is for sure.
By boycotting and ending diplomacy with Israel
Killing them all that’s it
.
The primary role of elected politicians is the protection of the people who elected them and to claim having to show a piece of paper at border controls is such an inconvenience is merely pandering to the federalist nightmare of a US of E while creating a dream for terrorists, drug dealer & criminals. Could someone please explain why those that would do us harm would take the risk of flying when all they have to do is drive across unguarded borders in Europe ?
The EU only works as a ‘economic marriage of convenience’ and the fact Schengen makes a few people feel like they live in a Brussels centric utopia is an irrelevance because until the peoples of the 28 countries are asked there can be no true political / social union, but the EU elite already know the answer so are avoiding asking the question, instead using treaties signed but never explained to bypass the wishes of the people.
The dismal turnout at national referendums (if they were held at all) to join the EU and the ever falling numbers of votes cast at MEP elections coupled with rising nationalism across Europe makes any claim that the peoples of Europe are loving either Schengen or the EU at best propaganda and at worst outright lies.
Fascism, Nazism, Communism & now Europeanism.
Different flags, different anthems but the same antidemocratic lust for power & control over the peoples of Europe, thank god we are leaving the EU.
Ivan: bye, bye!
Europe should never have supported the so-called ‘war on terror’.
By re-evaluating the whole thing and taking appropriate action where it is necessary, instead of following some other country’s definition of “war”, “terror” and the two together.
No, in stead of being involved in a war on terror, whatever it may be, Europa should better be a project for peace and solidarity.
How ?? Stop getting involved in these illega;l wars everywhere, from Libya to Syria to Ukraine, they all Western created (US/UK) Europe needs to stop getting involved in these needless bloodbaths, end of story.
Dialogue with all the parties involved
Easy – supply weapons for Ukraine :)
EU should make its own investigation on terrorism, independently from any country outside EU. The cooperation between EU countries can be improved. We have to know who stands behind the terrorists and provides them money, weapons, who teaches their soldiers, and who helps them promoting their ideas on the Internet and recruit more people. We should not accept in EU people from countries that support terrorism and should not visit such countries and even stop trading with such countries.
Provide knowledge n culture!!!
folloing United STATS..
stop financing terrorism and stop being US’s lapdog.
Stop killing Muslims!!!
Stop allowing them to immigrate in mass.
The U.S. should get out of Europe and let them take the financial burden of military expenditures.
stop leting teens join ISIS would be a good start
Nope. Lets mind our business. We have many things to solve.
The Middle East is in a similar situation to Europe during the religious wars. There are war lords, clans, regional conflicts which have in part been triggered by the invasion of Iraq and other interventions.
We can help those that understand what is going on: Turkey, the Sunni that are revolted by ISIS, the Kurds. But only help on an issue by issue basis.
We’ve helped groups fighting Assad only to find our supplied weapons ending up with jihadis. We help the Kurds in the north of Iraq, but if we arm them very well – then we may start a civil war in Turkey.
Europe needs to distance itself from America – which has only a short term, simplistic, self-centred, nieve viewpoint. Give our corporations your oil and we will give you McDonalds.
We won’t get democracy in the area for generations. You need stability and the rule of law, before democracy can thrive.
Sadly dramatic attempts at easy solutions often make the situation far, far worse.
europe now is not free, it was supposed to be much more advanced in technology and science, but not, furthermore, some aliens prepare to start devastating war on europe land, the problem is that this evil controls the governments …
la disoccupazione altissima , si privatizza tutto ai danni dei popoli piu’ terrorrismo della UE !?
Very serious and very very big problem. All the unfailed the NOTHINGS OF EUROPE want to destroy us. Control of immigration..This..passion must stop. THEY MAKE Planes and very dangerous psychopathetik.people HATE EUROPEANS.Bevcause they are racist and barbarians..who failed here who was NOTHING and so destroyed the others land home lifes killing if they find a gun. The power of crazes
Kudos to what have been done.We can do more.
Propose a model of life that europeans would agree to adopt, and non-europeans would agree to respect (at least the non-fondamentalists). Put human in the center of it.
just open euro-guantanamo somewhere
… Do they want to?
The war is not solution but crime!..
The EU is blind for its own failures and now has a whole army of extremists in its own population. Before meddling in other countries, the EU itself will have to address this threat in our midst.
…fighting against neo-libaralism, is the best way.
Europe took the wrong posistion. Become more of an intermediar instead of choosing sides.
Increasing democracy, rule of law and human rights
Eliminate ISLAM…
It was always time for that. this free-riding on the NATO alliance is inexcusable
Of course
I think that terrorism INSIDE the EU borders is more important than the one that is outside.
.
As long as the idiotic Schengen agreement is in force all ‘countering terrorism’ measures taken by European countries both inside & outside the EU is meaningless..
Fortunately we have security services keeping watch on both.
of course not europe can not let involved in any wat outside.eu must must protect business eu countries outisde
No, if you wanna go outside of EU borders combating “terrorism” (fake enemies) send your sons..
Blowback is unintended consequences of a covert operation that are suffered by the aggressor. To the civilians suffering the blowback of covert operations, the effect typically manifests itself as ?random? acts of political violence without a discernible, direct cause; because the public?in whose name the intelligence agency acted?are unaware of the effected secret attacks that provoked revenge (counter-attack) against them
The Power of Nightmares, subtitled The Rise of the Politics of Fear, is a BBC documentary film series, written and produced by Adam Curtis. Its three one-hour parts consist mostly of a montage of archive footage with Curtis’s narration. The series was first broadcast in the United Kingdom in late 2004 and has subsequently been broadcast in multiple countries and shown in several film festivals, including the 2005 Cannes Film Festival.

What happens in sovereign nations outside the EU is of no concern to the EU.
Remember, one person’s ‘freedom fighter’ is another person’s ‘terrorist’…
And how can you be discussing intervening in sovereign states internal affairs when you are even afraid to condemn Israel’s genocidal war against palistine…. but then your founder was a fan of genocide apparently.
NO!
Mind your own borders. We have plenty of terrorists within european borders.
The war “on terror” is a hoax, what Europe needs to do, is stop getting involved in these US led genocidal illegal wars wether from Iraq to Ukraine, war is an endless cycle of death, Europe wouldnt be facing the threats it is today if it hadnt involved itself in the wars based on nothing but lies and greed.
Once we eliminate these hoax Westphalian borders…..things will look a lot different. The EU needs an all-inclusive, unified defense force, not 28 wasteful, completely useless military structures within the Union.
The main problem with European union is.. that it does not function as a Union.
EU must take the next step, and unite, not only economically, but in terms of laws and social structure.
we were quite pro-active creating it, why not now?
Yes, but to be careful what terrorism is defined as. Make sure the illegal arms sail market is no longer existings!! These arms ends into terrorists hands in a cheaper way…
No, keep inside borders, everything else is interfering with sovereignty of other countries…
Yes if, and only if, it doesn’t interfere with the sovereignty of other nations!
Yes, it is !
Absolutely not
Need to be more active under is borders against criminality first
Yes, start from Ukraine.
DNR and LPR are shelling civilian buildings with GRAD’s.
Would you appreciate ‘outside our border countries’ to be ‘pro-active’ in the EU ?
No – that is a national state issue. The handling of Ukraine and the not so stable consensus does not either give the EU too much credibility.
By the EU yes,not by the individual states.
No action outside a nation’s borders is legitimate, as it violates a country’s souvereignity. Would we like other nations operating on ours? So what makes us good, and them bad, to justify that we intervene?
A new toolbox in European prevention network of European cities against radicalization is necessary extremism this treaten global stability and the only way to put an end to fundamentalism and the creation of jobs Europe has unemployment at historic level
Is it legal to be active in countering terrorism outside ure borders? Pay attention to the terrorism inside EU
YES
No, Not against the Russian Federation and its allies especially …unless you want to see Berlin Covered in Nuclear Ashes.
Europe has been not pro-active for quite a long time for a common political purpose. Europe ehhh ? European Union! Not member states.
No
We have enough financial terrorism within our borders.
Proactive?…sounds like a medecine
Asking the question is so stupid ! Why europe is always late to step into the train ?
Vague question.
Yes, or more clearly, to be more cooperated and active
Yes. Boycott aparthied terrorist Israel. #bds
No, because if we fight against terrorism outside EU, terrorism will fight against us inside EU (GB, Spain, France etc)
YES.
YES
Marie-Pierre Vedrenne, la question que j’avais pos aux dputs !!!
sure
The greek turkish borders are the most important to stop terrorists
we are the terrorist…
please compare the number of death that causes OTAN and other organizations…
Yes to solve the problem with IS we need to send 1000 ground solider for every single person how go to IS from us.
We can’t be more proactive, we all play CS ^^
s se lhe solicitarem ajuda!
Of course… Hit them outside, and you mustn’t do it inside latter…
Lets think?
Where are muslims not happy?
there not happy in Iraq, Gaza,Egypt,Iran,Morocco,Syria,Lebanon,Pakistan, Yemen ect…
So where are they happy?
there happy in Australia,Wales,England,Scotland,France,Spain,Germany,Canada,USA,Norway,Holland,Denmark ect…
BASICALLY they are happy in ALL countries that aren’t muslim
who do they blame?
Not their leadership
Not isam
Not themselves
They blame the countries they ARE happy in!
then they come over to the ‘happy’ countries and try change us to be like the countries they aren’t happy in!
And lets be honest there is tones of evidence to go with this!
I agree 100% Ffion, well said. They try change us for the worst reasons…
.
Ending Schengen and restricting their entry into Europe would be a start.
http://newobserveronline.com/isis-terrorist-arrested-in-stuttgart-refugee-center-boxes-of-fake-syrian-passports-intercepted/
Yes, of course!
Europe should turn back to its people and take moreresponsibility for their lifes. Europe should not allow extremism from Arab migrants!
Which terrorism? The one that they had created? Sure.
Yes they should.And after they do that they should deal with themselves as they are extremists.In Europe we have are own extremists and they are called EU ”we know everything and you should obey”.
Of course
Well, if they HAD, then europe would probably not be getting overrun with hundred of thousands of refugees.
European countries such as Germany France and Holland should stop selling weapons to terrorists . That would help
Not financing and supplying them would be enough…
Yes, we should create safe havens inside Syria and Iraq. Boots on the ground.
Bodil, Gilles and Natan thoughts should be blended into an action aimed at, first defend EU extended borders with a military strategy to terminate the threat of the terrorists, and then, once such threat is no more, diplomatic and cultural actions should be taken to bring a locally understood form of democracy to those countryes.
Europe should break up with D.C. and develop it’s very own policy, based on peace efforts, education, financial unity and a democratic European legislation
Right now, we should cooperate with Russia against ISIS and end all the penalties as s reward. It’s better this way than letting uncle Sam to create humanitarian disasters and migration issues
No! We need more terror risk at home.
No terrorism neither in EU neither in Middle East and or NA
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2532528/
Yes, it should, but ue only knows talk and talk…
Yes it’s a must
First deal with the European problems, protect your own schengen borders! Otherwise what is the point of the European border if you let any former terrorists walking into Schengen without showing passports or ID?! Because that is the reality at the moment..
Yes!
Yes, as we all know to get a fake Syrian passport is not difficult. So, iT means that many non-Syrians can come to Europe
Europta tiene que ir construyendo una identidad propia , sin esta premisa nuncas llegara a ser los EEUU de Europa.
Yes!
this is so simple to answer = Y E S
Sim. Yes. Oui. Si.
Yes of course. Europe should start by stopping all support of imperalistic manoeuvres abroad and ending arms trade.
Don’ t be hipocrytes!
But europe DOES have a ver active role in international terrorism. The EU and NATO has been instrumental in creating the condiyion for the development and blossoming of international terrorism.
I did not know Europe was acting against terrorism.i thought Europe was the main sponsor of terrorism with no borders.free immigration and a lot of sympathy for islam
First clean Europe from Islam – one big step against Terorism
At the moment Europe is unconscious and failing totally to be active in the fight against terrorism. Accepting refugees that tend to have violent behaviour and are known to have tendencies towards terrorism and infiltration of islam, is the proof of how uncouncious is Europe.
We don t know who created terror and why.
But we know for sure WE DON T WANT IT HERE, IN EUROPE.
Well, should it? :-)
YES, but not with weapons and soldiers: with negotiations and diplomats, and if necessary with economic boycotts!
YES! Max Berre said it right about the EU being more active so that the refugee crisis wouldn’t be happening right now!
We need a common European government in the image of Switzerland’s!
For sure we want to be alble to move freely within our countries.
Yes it is insane that banks have to work under these conditions!
Terrorism in our Country? That’s what we should be asking, real questions that matter to us as citizens… God Bless the USA! Heads Up (Y) FBI – Federal Bureau of Investigation Director confirms terrorism investigations in all 50 states, encourages public to speak up! Director Comey says ISIL is changing the game with an aggressive social media campaign.
https://www.facebook.com/FBI
https://tips.fbi.gov/
https://www.fbi.gov/
http://www.justice.gov/actioncenter/report-crime (Y)
“It’s a message that goes to troubled souls any where in the United States. As a result we have investigations in every state in the Union that focuses on trying to understand who is consuming that poison,” said Comey.
Comey says if this is the new norm he’ll have to reconsider the resources it takes for surveillance.
He also says it creates a conflict between public safety and internet privacy.
“Those values are increasingly in conflict when lawful court orders in criminal investigations encounter unbreakable encryption and we need to figure out a way as a people how to accommodate both of those values,” said Comey.
That’s part of the conversation he is having across the country.
He’s also telling the public we play a role.
He says if you see something, say something. No matter how insignificant it may seem.
“When you have a strange feeling about somebody just tell one of us. We’ll check it out, no harm done, or maybe tremendous harm averted,” said Comey.
If you do have a tip on possible terrorism you can contact your local police department or sheriff’s office and they will get that information to the right people.
Yet another prong in the propaganda battle to see if the people of the eu will stomach european army. NO!
Stop bombing the middle-east?
Ban Islam aut from Europe
stop exporting weapons outside the EU
Stop being imperialists
Deport the illegals.
Change leadership, close Schengen for ever and make a partnership with Russia. Close mosques that preach hate, deport all the Muslims who are violet. Make a meeting of all the faiths in Europe and make a declaration that no violence or killing will ever be perpetrated in the name of any faith & god. Cut the finding of these bastards. A lot can be done, but you wouldn’t – Merkel should resign that’s the first step.
Stop modern colonialism and exportation of Western democracy.
Once again form the christian Europe
I know it is simple . Cancel your church membership and stop financing religious organisations . Teach young people like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9zds4U3L4s&feature=youtu.com&t=1m25s
NO war and there will be no terrorist.
The way Europe goes I think it’s impossible to prevent any attack. Thanks to YOU, we are a flok of lambs at wolf’s hands.
Another attack is unpreventable. Sad truth.
Arm all the former soldiers.I want to carry my sidearm.
Read “Islam and the Future of Tolerance” by Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz and then ponder seriously and act on what the two have to say. They are a hopeful pair.
Read “Islam and the Future of Tolerance” by Sam Harris and Maajid Nawaz and then ponder seriously and act on what the two have to say.
Ban the European union then we can debate about terrorism
Who does not spit Koran directly into a concentration camp and ready.
Just stop inviting jihadists on European soil and kill the crazy bitch Merkel for what she did!
Just stop inviting jihadists on European soil and kill the crazy bitch Merkel for what she did!
Spread anti-terrorism propaganda based on the words by Thich Nhat Hanh:
“Man is not the enemy. Our enemy is hatred, anger, ignorance and fear.”
“Terrorists are human beings who are sick with the virus of terrorism. The virus you see is made of fear, hatred, and violence. You can be a doctor for a person with this illness.”
The roots of terrorism are not to be found in religious philosophies or unfamiliar cultures, but in misunderstanding, fear, anger, and hatred.
Deport all refugees!
Tax cars. Close city centres to car traffic. They kill and the will continue to kill far more than all the terrorists united.
Europe should stop turning a blind eye to Middle Eastern affairs, stop letting them be determined by USA (and Russia), be responsible and take charge. We have been passive bystanders for too many years.
It’s time now that International organizations , g20, UN , World Bank, IMF, IFC should start to coordinate their operations and act .. not only represents countries .. please take a look :
http://economicsandpolicy.blogspot.it/2013/03/what-europe-should-do.html
Since the early 1900s West has intervened in Middle East for its own benefits (Britain, France, later US). The “war against terror” is just an excuse for the west to increase their control on oil resources.
It was the American army in Iraq, not the Iraqi army in America, French troops in Syria, not Syrian in France, and we think we are the good guys?
During decades, UN-EU-USA have taken our taxes, turning workers-taxpayers into slaves, trying to convince arabs and africans to stop making wars and take responsibility to work and build their countries, without suceeding, instead, it has been even worse and worse since those people get more free energy and time to make more wars and children.
EU-USA-UN shouldn’t put the nose in other countries anymore, and they all should stop also giving any aid, send back all refugees and even their 2nd-3rd.-etc generations who are not satisfied in West.

Il faut pas être minimalist, et melanger l’Europe avec le USA. Interdir au fil d’Erdogan se vendre du petrol clandestin, et interdire l’impotration de drogue cardogan en Europe, oriduit en Turque, Irak et Syrie, etc… Les Etats européenne doit se relier un aux autres, sans fair perdre la confiance et augmentant la joye.
aucune intimidation aux citoyens européens pour coutume est admis.
EI / Daeshare totalitarism and fascists;
si les USA arrogants réfléchissaient au fait que c’est BUSH junior qui a provoqué ces horreurs au départ en attaquant l’Irak ? et dans le mensonge en plus ?! et en refusant d’écouter ce grand maître en diplomatie qu’était le pape Jean-Paul II ? Ce qui a destabilisé tout le Moyen-Orient ? un peu de courage messieurs les américains !!!!!! qui est le premier terroriste avec ses “frappes chirurgicales “?
Try to make peace!
Stop burning petrol. Saudi Arabia is the source of fundamentalism that generated Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram & ISIS.
Obviously ISIL has NO religion and nothing to do with it, but you cannot ignore the fact that religion stands at the core of radicalisation: young people follow ISIL because they genuinely believe in its “holy” goals.
