Let in tens of thousands of "refuges," almost all of whom are young Arab/muslim males and you expect something different? What was that definition of "insanity" again?

Most likely it's the ones the refugees are running from. Women and children first doesn't seem to be a major part of their culture. Also, until there is some reliable way to determine which ones are true refuges and which are ticking time bombs, wouldn't it be prudent to halt the overwhelming immigration?

Your headcount link does not seem to list immigrants to Europe.

An opportunity to act like a decent human being instead of dropping bombs from the sky.
A noble goal. But, those who are coming to the west for refuge have an obligation too. They should not be trying to bomb and destroy, or hiding those who are, they should not be trying to impose their failed way of life on their new homes, they should respect the laws and customs of their new homes (think Sweden and rape), and they should not be ungrateful and demanding of free stuff, while giving nothing in return. Is that too much to ask?

Better avoid large crowds then... I'd advise going armed but you're deprived of that choice.

The pattern we're seeing more often is a mix of bombs and automatic weapons. An armed populace would be effective against that, while all the gun laws out there wouldn't prevent terrorists from acquiring guns.

Re: A Few Details
And all over the west they are admitting more of these guys? Safer to kiss a rattlesnake.

Re: A Few Details
I'm neither young nor Muslim but I believe suicide bombings are as justifiable as bombing Muslims. Suicide bombings target civilians. "Bombing muslims" is a false dichotomy as the targets are military or fighters. The intent is not to target civilians.

Re: A Few Details
A suicide bomber seeks to kill and main as many innocents as possible. If you can't tell the difference perhaps you should seek to understand why.

Third Stade de France suicide bomber 'snuck into Europe via Greece after posing as asylum seeker with fellow Paris jihadi' The third jihadi to blow themselves up near the Stade de France has been pictured and named tonight as it is revealed he entered Europe via Greece with a fellow attacker. Today French police issued a new appeal to identify the man believed to have helped carry out the bombings during the Paris attacks on November 13. He was among three jihadis to die when they blew themselves up outside the stadium, and is believed to have entered Europe as an asylum-seeking migrant. More
