Oh f* people who even think that way, let alone proclaim it.

France has porous borders. They spent $1 BILLION over the past year on security "enhancements".

If evil people want to be evil, they are going to find a way.

Closing borders isn't going to help if you have thousands of people who have no future and who are looking for revenge out of frustration. This is not to blame anyone, but it's more a matter of fact. Paris has seen many riots in the past years, where hundreds of cars have been destroyed by these people. It's not surprise that you can find some people in that group that are vulnerable or attracted to the tactics of IS.

Germany partially suspended registration of refugees, the head of one of the parties in government is on record saying that currently about 40-50% of them are not even registered at all.

Supposedly, this is not a problem - even though it is people from the country where ISIS terrorists operate.

At the same time, we have a continuous push for and actually new surveillance laws such as the dreaded 'Vorratsdatenspeicherung'.

That doesn't really fit together at all anymore...
