That's a pretty distorted picture of reality.
But sure, some people get arrested. Unfortunately Al Quaeda preys upon
kind-hearted progressives who question nothing to plant operatives in a
country for YEARS all while planning horrible acts.
I was over in Amsterdam twice in 2002 and took a walk through some of
the large Muslim immigrant neighborhoods. Amerstdam is kind of a shady
city anyway, but I have to tell you, Europe is blatantly full of people
plotting criminal activity. I'm kind of an evil bastard myself, and my
evil-bastard spidey-sense was going haywire over there.
Y'all need to clean up your own backyard.
