Regardless of how you count it - France is not "safer than any other country," and the irrefutable fact is that terrorist attacks in France are increasing, and that there have been MANY more attacks than "eleven in the past forty years."
Those are the points I was addressing.
And you're right - many countries "spin" their crime reporting stats or make trying to figure out comparative crime stats difficult, whether intentionally or not. One thing the EU ought to do, to make itself useful, is standardize crime reporting methods.
Like pigeonhole, you are in denial.
‘Terrorism threat is waning’: figures put Europe’s summer of violence in context http://gu.com/p/4p8fd
256 people killed by islamic terrorists in 18months, more than a thousand wounded, but some people (the usual culprits, ruthftruth and amaroW) are still in denial, showing in the process how cold hearted they are towards the victims.
We are not talking about 40 years ago, we are talking of what is happening NOW.
And wait for the next stage : the general upheaval of the banlieues, courtesy if ISIS.
EXCUSE ME. In denial of what? The OP stated there were daily terrorist attacks in France, which is a lie. This is clearly a troll post, and you're supporting it. It's hyperbolic and inflammatory; anyone can see that. If you want a legitimate discussion about terrorism in France (which has been around a very long time, btw, and is nothing new), then you're welcome to post accurate information. But something tells me you're not interested in accuracy. On the other hand, if you can come up with documentation that there have been daily terrorist attacks in France, proceed.
I was correcting erroneous information. Period. I didn't say anything about how to make any place safer, or any place being 100 percent safe.
I know but it's been a difficult time for the French of late, and they are trying to secure their borders and improve intelligence and security, and there needs to be better international intelligence supplied from other countries to France in order than the international community can help.
Yes 11 terrorist attacks in 40 years....
And even with all the terrorist attacks we had in 2015/2016, crime rate is still below than any other country in the world.
How many people killed in terrorist attacks in the USA? And only in New York ?
How many in mass shooting? It is on a daily basis there. It is like an hobby, it is like going to the swimming pool. Black people are also shot dead by police for being black. In France, it is rare that´s why we speak about it when it happens. I feel insecure in the US and very safe in France. When an American cancel holidays in France for terrorist attacks, it is stupid as hell.
He is baaaaack.
So France is the safest country in the world. Got it!
Americans get shot just going to the swimming pool, especially those that are black. Right you are amaroW.
Anybody that cancels a vacation in France because of terrorist attacks is stupid as hell. I suppose the only smart people all live in France. Right? right.
