^^ That's true but plenty of world leaders, including the British PM have termed the recent attacks as Islamic terrorism.. that's not a deterrent to terrorists though.

Obama couldn't bing himself to say Islamic terrorism for the eight years he was in office (although he said that in 2016 election cycle)

And what's with the atheists, far leftists, criticizing, mocking other religions (I am okay with that) and not saying a word against Islam

Not only that they attack others who express their opinion against Islamist

Aren't liberals suppose to be for liberty, peace, social justice, freedom of speech, expression etc.

Liberals say they're in favor of critical thinking( mock the other side for being close minded) but don't like anyone challenging their comfort zone.

Because they dislike Christianity (in India - Hinduism) and Republican Party and muslims share the same view they think both of them are on the same page? Enemy's enemy is my friend?

By doing this they're also hindering the efforts of some Muslims to make a peaceful reformation in Islam.

Look I don't disagree that Liberals go soft on Islam. What I don't get, is most of these attacks are carried out by young men born or brought up in Europe in middle-class or upper-class families. Now most Liberals are pro-immigration and all that, but how do you stop terrorism when these terrorists are part of Western society and not even devoutly religious..

Your last point of peaceful reformation is very relevant, whenever Muslims try to criticise and bring about changes within their culture, they get threatened by insiders and dismissed as Islamophobic by outsiders. Sad!

That's scary and baffling... Second generation, children of refugee parents mostly constitute the new breed of terrorists in the West.

Bold - What do you think is the reason and what can be done?

I am glad you acknowledge there's a problem, most people don't.

This is what's wrong

Sweden Gives Returning ISIS Fighters New Identities to Help Them "Start Over"

Having posed with dead bodies and the like in Syria and Iraq life is just so darn hard for them now

Hundreds of Swedish residents who went to fight for the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria have now returned to Europe and the Swedish government has given several of them "protected identities" to keep locals from finding out who they are.

The vast majority of the returning jihadist fighters keep a very low profile once they get back to Sweden as many have committed terrorist offences while in the Middle East. 27-year-old Walad Ali Yousef is one returnee that the government has given a special status protecting his identity, normally given to people under serious threat

What? What's wrong with Sweden?

Already we hear about no-go zones in Sweden, France where non muslims cannot go freely

CNN's Wolf Blitzer Suggests Barcelona Attack Is A Copycat' of Charlottesville

😲 😲

Bcz they used the same killing device: A vehicle going at high speed into a group, a large group of pedestrians.

(Last weekend a car plowed into protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia killing 1 and injuring many...

And the perpetrator was not a Islamic terrorist, so the media is covering it non stop and even saying today's Barcelona's attack was inspired by it)

Really CNN? 😲

What about London, Nice, Stockholm and German terror attacks

where same technique was used - A vehicle going at high speed into a group, a large group of pedestrians... (There could be more)

ISIS claimed responsibility for all the attacks

July 14, 2016: Nice, France

Seventy-seven people were killed in Nice, France, when a truck drove through a crowd on Bastille Day.

Nov. 28, 2016: Ohio State

Abdul Razak Ali Artan, an Ohio State University student, ran his car into a group of students and slashed people with a butcher knife.

Dec. 19, 2016: Germany Christmas market

A large truck plowed through a Christmas market in central Berlin, which killed 12 and injured 48 others.

April 7, 2017: Stockholm truck attack

Five people were killed when a truck driven by a man drove into a pedestrian shopping street and department store in Sweden's capital city, wounding over a dozen others.

June 3, 2017: Van rabbing and stabbing in London

Seven people were killed and dozens were injured by three assailants who ploughed through pedestrians on London Bridge and stabbed revelers in Borough Market.

Barcelona attack was supposed to be bigger, targeting key monuments including the famous "Sagrada Familia Cathedral" designed by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi

Those plans, however, were thwarted when one of the cell's bomb factories 120 miles south of Barcelona burst into rubble Wednesday evening, leaving behind 120 gas canisters carrying butane and a volatile powder known as "Mother of Satan".

So they went ahead with Plan B, killing 14 people (age 3 to 80) and wounding 120 (victims were from three dozen countries)

The 12-person cell believed responsible for 14 deaths across Spain had originally planned to drive three explosive-packed vans into a number of tourist hot spots, including the cathedral.

Spain's King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia defiantly joined nearly 1,000 mourners Sunday at the stunning cathedral, as word spread that the house of worship had been the terrorists' initial target.

The centuries-old cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and one of the most visited attractions in Europe. Gaudi began construction on the minor basilica in 1882, but was unable to finish it before his death in 1926. It is expected to be completed by 2026.

One of the victims, 7 year old British-Australian national Julian Cadman. His family described him as energetic, funny and cheeky, always bringing a smile to their faces.

George wants to leave UK 'for twins' safety'

VIDEO 'Special Delivery' for George Clooney's twins. Instagram/casamigos

George Clooney's just become a dad for the first time, and it seems like those protective paternal instincts have well and truly kicked in!

According to reports in Life & Style, the 56-year-old star is considering moving across the world for the sake of his twins Ella and Alexander's safety.

George recently celebrated his first Father's Day. Source: Getty

"He doesn't feel like Amal and the twins are safe living in the UK.' an insider told the publication. "He's determined to move his family to LA, where he feels much more secure.

The outlet claims that it's the recent spate of terrorism-related incidents in London and Manchester that are making the actor uneasy about settling in his $17 million (AUD) mansion in Berkshire.

The actor and his wife Amal are proud first-time parents. Source: Getty

On top of that, his wife Amal, 39, is a human rights attorney who often works high-risk cases.

"As soon as Amal found out she was pregnant, he hired former Secret Service agents to assess all his properties and make recommendations for improvement, the source told Life & Style. "His mansion in Studio City was deemed the most secure, and it's within minutes of an LAPD station.

George is super protective of Amal and the kids. Source: Getty

After Amal's pregnancy was first announced, George told Paris Match magazine that the couple had become much more cautious when it came to her career as a laywer and his humanitarian trips.

"We decided to be much more responsible, to avoid the danger," he told the publication. "I won't go to South Sudan any more or the Congo, Amal will no longer go to Iraq and she'll avoid places where she knows she isn't welcome."

The star reportedly wants to wave goodbye to the UK. Source: Getty

And it seems that the babies' arrival has only heightened his need for security.

"He's waited so long for this family, Life & Style's source added.

"He'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe.
