@camlok,

Apparently, not visiting this thread can result in blind folk posting who can’t see patterns in the world.
Below is a list of links to posts containing Terrorist Attacks, just in Europe, and just since 2015 that I have posted in this thread. Those 3 years links outnumber the previous 12 years significantly. This is undeniable proof that the threat is growing.
If you care to look through countries counter terrorism finance records, you will also find significant increases in funding, in response to that growing threat.
Having said that, I'm glad that you are against crazy ideas. I guess then, you that you would also find crazy certain ideas contained in Islamic Theolgoy (this is a thread about such) particularly:
- supremacist ideology (Qurans: mulsims are winners, all others are losers, over and over. Denigration of all others. Calls to Jihad. Theology abodes of War & Islam.)
- extremely violent ideology (any read through Quran shows a litany of such)
- denigration of all other groups (Quran calling them pigs, dogs, monkeys, worst of creatures, corrupt, liars etc over and over)
Certainly I would take your allegation of 'crazy idea' to not be hypocritical if you have issues with such ideological ugliness.

Yep, and I’ve also criticised American foreign policy and invasions, though that is a different thread. Many other Western countries have also engaged in similar, including Britain and Australia.
This isn’t a ‘who’s worse’ competition.
Should you choose to reply, please address the specific statement you objected to of whether or not the threat is growing.

As a reminder, that is only in Europe. And there is a clear increase in escalation of the threat, as compared to the previous decade, which previous decade experience more Islamist Terrorism than the decade before that.
That threat is growing.
