This data is strange: the article says there were 211 terror attacks in 2015, with 65 being “separatist terrorism” and 17 being jihad attacks. What were the other 129? Probably what they consider to be “right-wing extremism,” given this quote: “The overall threat is reinforced by the substantial numbers of returned foreign terrorist fighters that many EU Member States now have on their soil, and the significant rise in nationalist (xenophobic), racist and anti-Semitic sentiments across the EU, each resulting in acts of right-wing extremism.”

The possibility that there could be a rise in what they classify as “nationalist (xenophobic)” and “racist” sentiments might have to do with “the substantial numbers of returned foreign terrorist fighters that many EU Member States now have on their soil” doesn’t seem to occur to Europol. And to classify “anti-Semitic sentiments” as a manifestation of “right-wing extremism” when the rise in anti-Semitism in Europe is wholly and solely due to the rise in the number of Muslims there is simply bizarre, and explains why the number of jihad attacks is, in this report, so low.

The report is also flatly self-contradictory: “While the Europol admitted that there is no evidence that terrorist travellers blend with refugees entering the EU, it said that perpetrators of the Nov. 13, 2015 attacks in Paris had entered the EU through Greece as part of the large influx of refugees from Syria.” So isn’t the fact that “perpetrators of the Nov. 13, 2015 attacks in Paris had entered the EU through Greece as part of the large influx of refugees” evidence that “terrorist travellers blend with refugees entering the EU,” a phenomenon for which they just said there was no evidence?

In reality, the jihad threat is rising in Europe, and that is the fault of the European elites. In response to increasing jihad terrorism, the EU continues to import Muslims in massive numbers, although there is no doubt that jihadis will be among them. 2016 is likely to break 2015’s record, and then 2017 will break 2016’s, and so on and on, thanks to the suicidal policies of the Western political elites.
