Regarding potential terrorism death in Europe, two to four decades ago was a very dangerous time here.
Be it Ireland, Spain or Germany - the 70s, 80s and 90s had a way higher death toll from terror in any given year.
We had the RAF in Germany, ETA in Spain, IRA in Ireland/Britain and so on. Not to talk about Securitate in Romania and so on.
So statistically speaking we non the less have to fear less then our parents had to fear.
I am not saying, that we should just ignore it. No - on the contrary - but first we shouldn't give in to the media crazed panic and throw our freedoms in front of this Angst-Train.
We should identify the problems, look for valid solutions and then fight the causes, not the symptoms. In my eyes having our nations (living in Germany) export war and terror into the world, then take in the refugees without helping them cope with what they went through is a recipe for disaster.
We should take in refugees, as this is just basic humanity calling, but we also have the obligation to help these people with more then "just" shelter.
We also have the obligation to elect leaders wo are not trying every day to set the world on fire. Maybe in the long run this would help a "little bit" as well.
And yes - one might call me a naive idealist.
