Not every problem has
a solution and if there is only one, it may lie in the distant future, says
John Wyles, a political thinker in the politico.
While Europe and the
European Union are keen on preserving the rights of the residents of the
European countries including Muslims, there are minority of extreme Muslims who
work against the norms of democracy inside Europe under this cover.
A Turkish German
journalist said in March that the European Union is not fighting hard enough
against the rising tide of extremism, asserting that Europeans have been
abandoned.
The lawyer demanded shutting radical
mosques, calling for European governments to address the thorny issue of
foreign funding of Islamist extremism.
“The European Union is not putting enough
effort into combating rising far-left, far-right and religious extremism,"
Seyran Ates, a Muslim feminist and human rights campaigner said.

Islamic terrorism in Europe
Islamic State or Al-Qaeda operatives as well as
Islamist lone wolves have been responsible for Islamic terrorism in Europe since the late 20th century.
Following
2014, there was a rise in Islamic terrorist activity in Europe. The
years 2014–16 saw more people killed by Islamic terrorist attacks in Europe
than all previous years combined, and the highest rate of attack plots per year. Most
of this terrorist activity was inspired by Islamic State, and many
European states have had some involvement in the military intervention against it.
2015 Paris attacks
The November
2015 Paris attacks were a series of coordinated terrorist
attacks. They occurred on November 13, 2015 in Paris. A number of 130 people
were killed in the attacks most of them were killed at the Bataclan theatre.
While there were over 400 people injured, about 100 of them were seriously
injured. Amid the attacks,
seven attackers were also killed. They are the deadliest attacks France has
witnessed since the Second World War.
2015 Copenhagen
shootings
Several shootings took
place on February 14,15 of the same year in Denmark's Copenhagen. Two people
and the attackers were killed. Five police officers were also injured.
A man opened fire at
an event at Krudttønden organized by Lars Vilks, known for his controversial drawings of Muhammad. Later, a Jewish man was shot outside the Great Synagogue. The attacker was later shot dead by police. Europol
classified the attack as jihadist terrorism.
2017 Marseille attack
Two women cousins were
attacked by an illegal immigrant from Tunisia using a knife on October 1,
2017.
Patrolling soldiers shot him dead at the
scene. French police were cautious as to whether it was a terrorist attack.
ISIS later claimed
responsibility, a claim which French intelligence services described as
"opportunistic".
The prosecutor opened
an investigation for "murder in connection with a terrorist
enterprise". Europol classified the attack as jihadist terrorism.
The spread of radical Islam like witnessed in the video is threatening Europe after it engendered the Middle East and in which a number of countries including Iraq, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon and Bahrain witnessed insecurity and instability.
