19 dead, 50 injured, after terror attack

[Brian37]

This didn't happen in America, and the perpetrator was a citizen in the country where he lived.

I know that, but not the point. I get that same argument here too.

Our mass shooters have been a majority BORN HERE. Roof was not a Muslim, the Newtown shooter was not a Muslim, the theater shooter was not a Muslim, the Colimbine killers also not Muslim. McVeigh was not a Muslim, Eric Rudolf was not a Muslim, neither was the UniBomber. Nor are our Christian abortion clinic shooter.bombers.

I understand the fear, nobody wants those things to happen, but even in Europe outside say a couple of countries, most of Europe from what I see, is not reacting by falling for xenophobic hyper nationalism either.

France just bitch slapped their right wing nationalist candidate. 

My point is there is a way to combat terrorists and a way not to, fear and becoming more paranoid and more closed is not the right reaction.

Most of these kids simply are reacting to not having the ability to fit in. It does not excuse their actions, but at the same time they also don't constitute the majority of migrants, and even this guy was raised in the UK.

Even our Boston bomber, while he hid behind religion, and used it as an excuse, the real reason seems to point to the fact he lost is kick boxing licence over a domestic violence report. 

I think instead of living in fear, what we can do is create economic conditions and opportunities and foster more inclusion. I don't mean calls for no blasphemy, but just the idea that fear does not help.
