They are going to stop calling terrorist attacks for what they are. It's all going to be lone wolves with mental health issues who don't follow any faith.
Ths is true here in the US, UK, France and Germany. Those liberal policies that let in refugees, that intel sources warned harbored jihadis, will rub stink of those nations' leaders, therefore, they won't call it terrorism. Too late IMO, the public has made up their mind.Funkycoldribena said:

Not really. A broad-based desire to understand how and why the teen did what he did is a sign of a certain level of collective intelligence, and a sign that people care about the others that make up the community.
Your response on the other hand...

There is another school of thought, and probably one that's not popular in this forum but here goes;Germany has accepted several hundred thousand refugees from Syria. These people have fled from a region which was being repeatedly bombed by various different factions and chances are that many of them have seen family and friends killed under pretty brutal circumstances. It's going to cost the German people a lot of money and effort to cope with the influx of refugees and it's probably going to cost Angela Merkel votes. But for some reason she thought it was the right thing to do. It's not going to benefit her personally, in fact it's likely to cost her in political terms but despite this she still went ahead and did it. And it seems from the public demonstrations that a lot of Germans support her.
Personally i think the Germans should be proud of living in a country that opens its borders to refugees fleeing (by all accounts) a pretty brutal war and offers them hope of a better life, and real leadership is making decisions that you feel are right, even though they may not be popular.

Brexit, Le Pen, Trump - monumental shifts are taking place all over the western world whilst the left bury their heads and scream RACIST!
Be fair, Le Pen and Trump are very openly racist. Not all Brexit voters are racist. But all racists who voted, voted for Brexit.We live in a difficult time - ISIS want to destroy our way of life, whilst the far right are playing right into their hands.
Trump vs ISIS is a significant threat to our way of life.

He strikes me as a bit of a Dubya, start a war today and worry about it later!
& on a Germany thread, not the US one. But since you have started.So if you guys are sure Trump is a failure, are you betting on a Hillary win?
