aren't the people who are caring to make something and post it there, and thus put quite some energy in making this in reality very very worried, not to say afraid?
i know i am getting philosophical here, but something seems not quite ok.

werd times two, faris.
uhm, the situation is amazingly calm, there are no absolute signs of new attacks coming, so not much extra security, but there's noone who dares to say we will not be attacked anytime soon.
most politicians and people from secret services etc. say there's a very very big chance for a (large) attack on the Netherlands between now and three years..
about 70-90%

Also us Italians are sure the one day or another this will happen...
But the arab community here is very large (especially in the north) and some telephonic interceptations recently reported that there is a "discussion " if attack Italy or not.
And moreover we have too much monuments that should be easy targets

must be noted that the Netherlands is an ideal target in many ways, both ideologically and strategically.
there's not much countries that claim(!) to strive on such strict secularity as the Netherlands, so that is one strong ideological excuse for radical islamists to cause destruction here.
politically there's even more reason for these terrorists to not like us, the Netherlands have always backed the US in almost any attack anywhere on the planet, Also the Netherlands has now become a greenhouse for right wing/conservative initiatives that rely heavily on the constitutional freedom of free speech, and dare to say almost anything about radical islam and our multicultural society as a whole.

i hear you fariska.
In fact in Amsterdam there's more foreigners/ethnic people then there are actual Dutch people (what are Dutch people anyway, do they really exist as a unique group of people??)..
and Islam is the largest and i also believe the fastest growing religion there.
same goes for other major cities like Rotterdam etc.

The Police presence in London at the moment is verging on comical.

When I was in Egypt, I said I was Canadian, does that make me afraid? Two months before, 25 German, American and French tourists were macheted to death in the Valley of the Kings near Tut's grave.

i had the most peculiar, extensive and overly earnest conversation with the muslim shopkeeper down the road today, as he caught my eyes scanning the front page pictures of The Bombers on the tabloids on the counter.
I get the impression that he's a little afraid. Presumably not of The Bombers, though.

Naturally, Nairn.
the anger they fear is far more targeted and specific and thus more cause for concern for this particular group of people then random attacks on society as a whole, how terrible the latter may be, but the psychological difference in these fears are there.
