>In the debate regarding Islamic terrorism, in the West liberals tend to ascribe it to Well I am a Western liberal and I believe much more often we have blamed it on foreign policy, amongst other things. You go on to make offensive gross simplifications/generalisations i simply don't recognise in liberals I know. >Thank-you Merkel. If you don't know why Merkel is liberal when it comes to immigration then i don't think Hacker news is the place for you

In a comment below, you asked if the solution is to ban books, news stories. Are you suggesting banning comments is legitimate? Lots of liberals have blamed terrorism on poverty and lack of opportunities to integrate. I've been following this issue over the last 3 years, and that's what I have seen. I don't know how much you have been following the attacks, but in Europe there have been horrendous stories about rape, gang rape, terrorism from Muslim migrants. Since earlier you mentioned you were from Ireland, did you know about the gang rape of children in Rotherham? What about the sexual attack in Germany during New Year's a few years back? This stuff is getting very common these last few years. I'm ok with immigration and aiding vulnerable groups, but if it brings the kind of problems we are seeing, when would you say enough is enough? How many more stadiums, night clubs, street cafes, streets need to be attacked before people acknowledge that there is a problem? The attacks so far have been mitigated because there was security: if there was no security during the attack on the Stade de France, the casualties would have been much higher, for instance. I've lived in Europe and travelled freely, but the violence we are seeing are real facts I find concerning. I am not suggesting violence as a response, only to see the problems that exist, understand the causes. Lest you think this is only an Islamic terrorism issue, I also find the violence coercion in the history of Christianity to be problematic. But Christianity is right now not the cause of the violence we see. And if you have solutions, what are those? edit: why does this comment not show up? Is there a censorship thing here?
