It seems like France stands out among terrorist attacks in the news. Is it because they are more likely to be critical of Muslim culture than other European nations? Is it because there is a security failure allowing terrorist to come in and organize better?

    To blame the terrorist attacks France has suffered on a cartoon by a niche newspaper is a rather blinded look at the situation, and ignores pretty much everything about the state of the world in the past few hundred years as well as modern times.

    I hope no one walks away thinking this comment is correct.

      I hope no one thinks this is the whole explanation, but it’s part of history that is not known by many.

        It’s a tiny part that doesn’t have much relevance today. And it’s not a hidden history it was big news for years.
