| #14 Yes this is a bad thing in a civil society at peace. But we are not at peace. The "ruling elites" of Europe don't understand that. They have no clue. Unlike muslims the folk who did this did it to an empty school. It's a message to the ruling elites and the islamic comunity. Act or we will. Spot on, SPoD. Too few realize that our world is no longer at peace. The random and well-distributed (except for Israel) nature of terrorist attacks imbues most people with a relative sense of security. Few seem to realize that Islamist domination is a blanket concept that intends to cover the entire earth. We are, indeed, in a new World War. Again, too few realize it. The "ruling elites" of Europe are so enchanted with nuanced negotiations that they cannot see how even the least delay serves whatever expedient ends of those who more efficiently pursue the demise of less aggressive opponents. Your "empty school" comparison caught all other attributions up short. No children were targeted, merely their location (for future reference). Islamists continue to disregard how their psychotic violence focuses retribution upon all and sundry Muslims. When will Islam's followers realize this? "Act or we will." All of us can only hope. Europe can either slide into another genocide or come to the stark realization that productive capitalistic democracy trumps royalism and socialistic structures. Please excuse me while I play an entire uninterrupted concerto upon my "Femtoviolin of Sympathy™." |

| #13 Tony, it's not fair to give hints. |

| #12 AC, that's been my take on events since 9/11. The West is very very good at killing, and the Islamists really ought to look at the number of Europeans who were killed by *other* Europeans just 60 years ago. |

| #11 Naw, don't be such a pessimist AC, probably won't last more than 30 years or so. |

| #10 lex, I now live in the US because my wife is American (we lived in the UK until last year). There will be more coming this way. A new immigration policy is needed. As for violence against Moslems in Europe -- it wil take a few more years and a terrorist war worse than what Israel suffered before some European majorities react. |

| #9 A friend of mine in the Netherlands left me with that impression AC. It won't be Dutch blood. They have been putting up with alot of disruption to their society for a long time caused by these people and their own political elites. The backlash may be on it's way. |

| #8 I am distinctly uneasy about this event. I think that European tolerance, civility, and suicidal multi-cultism are a relatively fragile veneer and the limits are within sight. Not even the power of the mass media and elitist indoctrination can fully suppress a thousand centuries of tradition and habit. When the multi-cult gloves come off, don't be surprised if there is nothing to replace them but the Crusader's mailed fist and the Cro-Magnon club. Blood could run in the streets of Europe again, as it has so many times in the past. |

| #7 Perhaps we Americans can attract yet another wave of hardworking European strivers fleeing hatred and civil war? I once again extend my offer of a transatlantic people swap: instant EU citizenship and permanent exile from the US for Hollywood and slacker idiotarians in exchange for instant US citizenship for well-educated, hardworking EU strivers. |

| #6 What AzCat said. Neither the Euro elites nor the public grasps the basic insight at the core of US pluralism: if you want people to live together in harmony, then get the state out of the way. Specifically, step #1 is to liberalize your economy so that you attract strivers, not resenters, from abroad. And step #2 is, when the strivers come to your country-- be they mennonites or mormons or catholics or hasidim or chaldeans or sikhs or shi'a-- respect them enough to leave them alone to build their businesses and educate their kids and raise their families in peace. Gonna be a very rough road for all sides in Europe, methinks. |

| #5 Interesting how quickly the peaceful tolerant Europeans turn. One murdered politician and they're bombing schools, meanwhile there have been how many domestic bombings by the warlike redneck Americans in response to 9/11? |

| #4 Talk to me when the headless, bullet-ridden corpses of muslims start popping up, and then I might be able to muster the sympathy to tut-tut. |

| #3 Expect the Moslems to seethe, rage, and claim it's worse than the Beslan attack. And that it justifies Beslan. Notice how anything ends up justifying their murderous ways? |

| #2 Blew the door off at 3:30 a.m. Yeah, I'd say that's just a message. |

| #1 Yea? So? Yes this is a bad thing in a civil society at peace. But we are not at peace. The "ruling elites" of Europe don't understand that. They have no clue. Unlike muslims the folk who did this did it to an empty school. It's a message to the ruling elites and the islamic comunity. Act or we will. The amount of crime percieved to be caused by these Moroccan's is pretty high and the government and police are notorious for doing nothing about. Instead of arresting the moroccan street gangs they build them "youth centers." The police see their job as enforcing traffic laws in The Kingdom and can't even be bothered to take crime repotrs according to my Dutch friend. |
