The terrorists are winning hands down. The west has perfected outrage and the grieving process to a fine art whilst never actually confronting the problems within our own communities. We are like Galahs in a cage. Someone reaches in and throttles one of us, there's a period of stuttering and squawking, then we all settle back on the perch untill the next time it happens. Rinse and repeat.
Likewise we've learnt, how to "spin" ourselves around Muslim’s fanatical, barbaric criminal activities without taking action through immigration reform, deportation of offenders and supporters of their archaic philosophies etc hell we cant even ban the burka from our parliament. It’s a joke really, if we’re honest with ourselves. And as for our freedoms, they are eroded every day - we’re shackled by censorship, restricted by "safety" requirements, harnessed by government regulations and laws and contained by political correctness. All borne out of weakness.
