There are no gates. There is a sign. http://travel.jeffersoncampervan.com/Pictures/PixoriginalSit... Cross border travel within the EU is like moving between states in the US, easy to miss.
What about airports? I'm very positive that they check people's passports and papers in airports.
I don't understand how can you talk about ISIS, Nazis and Communists in the same sentence? Communism has nothing to do with violence compared to ISIS and Nazis... Edit: Why downvotes? Idea of communism does not propose violence, Nazis and ISIS on the other hand do.
I'm not entirely sure how I would define my guiding motivation in life, but I swear "do no harm" would be part of it. I despair at those who believe otherwise.
That's precisely the point. Bar psychopaths, nearly everyone thinks they are doing the right thing, even as they do horrors. These people are so deeply indoctrinated that they think they are ultimately doing good in the eyes of god.
I don't believe the comparison stands.

They also carry their religion, genes and culture. And with that comes a clash of civilisations. With open gates: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cb0_1447249820
Are you suggesting that migrants are somehow genetically inferior? Because that'd be, frankly, an insane point of view to have.

This soils the reputation of islam. I know some good people (muslims) who suffer from prejudice on a daily basis because of attacks like these. Being a muslim in a foreign country is an increasingly difficult and isolating experience.
42% of young Muslims in France believe suicide bombings are justified (35% overall).

Terrorism is usually a rational act. It is terrible, but it has political goals. This, for instance, may be aimed at ending the European involvement in Syria and their taking in refugees.
> aimed at ending the European involvement in Syria I would be quite surprised if the EU decided against further intervention by this. If anything, I would expect them to intervene more.

What should be done? Bomb the hell out of the Syrians? Surely they have suffered enough. Iraq III? Maybe this time.... maybe.... Send the ground troops into Saudi? Quatar? Acknowledging that some of ISIS / Al-Qaeda gripes do have some merit, stop interfering in other countries affairs, stop propping up dictators because they are "our" dictator. Something else? Unfortunately for the Syrians, my money is on bomb the he…
What if we were to remove our dependence on foreign oil? Though fusion is a long way out, hypothetically, if we didn't have any reason to interfere and could just leave the Middle East to figure out its own problems, they wouldn't have a reason to see us as the enemy.
We'd have to make more electric cars and find a way to make them affordable to replace gas powered cars. Have electric car conversion kits to replace the engine and take out the gas tank and replace it with batteries. You got used gas powered cars as low as $500 and owners that can't afford electric cars so you have to do a government program for them to subsidize the conversion.
Getting off fossil fuels will help fight climate change as well. So it is a win-win.

They knew something was up they just didn't know what. http://sofrep.com/44480/french-and-german-police-knew-paris-...
The weakness of security states is that to "win" the police need a 100% capture rate. The terrorists only have to be successful once.
I'd hope for the former but I fear it will be the latter.
