Do Terrorists have enough money to travel, stay at hotels, if so, where do they get it? With Bin Laden, their money man and planner dead and gone, their prime source of money died with him.

"Should we be afraid of another terrorist attack?"

Are you serious? Do you watch the news?

Attacks are becoming so common that your question is like asking whether we should expect another snowstorm in Chicago at some point.

We should be prepared for other terrorist attacks. Not afraid. 1) because they want to terrorize us so let's not give it to them; 2) because chances are, we'll all die of something else.

"Should we be afraid of another Terrorist attack?"

No. If you let your fear of a future attack curb your life then they win. You constantly turn yourself into a victim repeatedly but by your own doing. You can't let their actions change you.

Although these events happen, they are heightened by the way information is being moved and people are so quick to jump on them. They get splashed all over social media sites because it draws in viewers and viewers equals ad revenue. Then on the flip side groups are quick to try and push their agendas through either the victims or the perpetrators.

I doubt we will ever be free from such things. With a global population of over 7.5 billion there are bound to be mentally ill people among us who will do things against others for what ever reason. This includes religious people attacking non-believers.

No matter what legislation we try to pass or laws we force upon people these things will occur because a person bent on causing someone else harm doesn't care what the laws are.

The only way to minimize these things is through proper education and it's on all levels. Parents raising their children with proper guidance and not indoctrinating them or ignoring them. People need to learn that not everyone is going to agree with you and their opinions might offend you but that doesn't give you the right to murder them because they don't believe the same thing you do.

The problem is mental illness and lack of education. So the solution is getting the treatment and education necessary to those people so they don't act out later in life.

It's just that I don't know who to trust, certainly not the CIA, who live and die with their terrorist buzzwords. Probably all the intelligence they have because all Arabs look alike. The only real distinction being Shia and Sunni Arabs in Iraq, Syria, and Iran who are also impossible to pin down.

That was when Bin Laden was alive. Now with no money source, radicals teeth are pulled, especially those from other side of the world.

There is a lot more money out there. OBL was only one person/source.

Just because Bin Laden was killed dosent mean a thing. Evil will always manifest itself and find a way to bring destruction. Have you watched that clip of all the hostages on there knees with the ISIS men without their faces covered standing behind them? These terrorist where men of all nationalities from Philipinos to English to Russian etc what I'm saying is terrorists are forming in a lot of countries including the very country you live in! They don't look like your traditional Arab man with a beard either, they look like people you walk by everyday on the street. Ok so do they need to travel?? What for?? They are already in the country? Remember thoughs 2 terrorist piloted that flew into the twin towers studied to be piolets in America so they didn't need to travel too far to cause destruction and take lives...

Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. With all this propaganda from them and us, how do you separate fact from fiction. What it all comes down to is politics, hawkish Republicans or peace seeking Democrats.

No I am right, have you not watched the news on what happened in Australia and the hostages? Have you not watched the news on what happend in England when that soilder was stabbed to death on the street by 2 extremists?? Have you not watched what happened in France when the three gunman went on a shooting rampage killing innocent people including people from the magazine company?? These are the facts and they did happen.. It's not propaganda it's reality and it's time to wake up and stop being naive. What you don't understand is there is a holy war going on and if it's wisdom you seek then I suggest you read the bible and get an understanding to why things are happening the way they are, it's all there in black and white. Get close to your creator because once you do there will be no room to fear anything.. Including this evil that is in our world..

Terrible things happen every day, even in the US, but that mean it's a trend or that we should hide under our beds, the the worst part of it is we can do nothing to stop it, only hope that everything will work out well in the end.

The take away is: only idiots are afraid of terrorism.

Being afraid of what can actually kill you is ok, but being afraid of a risk that is so small that it is negligible, that's for the fools.
