Because most of the Muslim immigrants to Europe, simply want to be left alone. There are some radical elements growing there, and the only reason their numbers are growing,
IS BECAUSE OF OUR STUPID FOREIGN POLICY.
There was a reason why Reagen said "We don't negotiate with terrorists". (Even though he did).
Its because giving them any attention at all, emboldens them. The ideal thing to do with terrorists, is to ignore them. Ever hear your parents say about a bully "if you ignore them, they'll leave you alone" or "They are only doing it to get a rise out of you". Thats what terrorism is, at its base, trying to get a rise out of people.
Now, I'm not saying we just walk by a bombing, and pay it no attention. No, the police are perfectly capable of dealing with terrorism, finding their suppliers, and cutting off of funds. We don't need to go to war for a terrorist act, we don't need to pass a bunch of stupid laws and executive acts everytime a terrorist tries to do something stupid.
Also, all of this "hate" talk, sets up a "me vs. you" mentality in the Muslim world. Want to know why we don't invade Iran? Its because most of the people there, actually agree with us. Iran is one of the most western Muslim countries in the world. If we invade, it will ban the moderates, with the radicals against us. The same thing is happening around the world. The more ignorant people group all Muslims into the same group, the more it will drive moderate normal Muslims, towards the radical terrorist wings. This is why their numbers are growing.
They are growing because we are ignorant, and we can't see that a pin prick, isn't worth dropping an anvil on someones head.
