Yet, they've "played" right into the hands of the right-wingers who have been against immigration from day one because of some nationalistic ideal. I reckon it's only gonna give them more "legitimacy" to push for more anti-immigration bullshit and try to segregate the community even more.
I live in an almost completely homogeneous country, where most are descendants of the Norse Vikings. Yet, I have a hard time understanding the right-wing nationalistic views, mostly because we have a history of treating the few immigrants we get as guests, more than our countrymen. Sure, we get the same right-wing rhetoric other European countries get, which only has worsened the standard of living for them here; damn, I hate right-wingers for that.
Terrorists want to play into the hands of the right-wingers as they often see any violent reactions from these groups will vindicate their claim: "the West is waging war on Islam".
