The Wall Street Journal has an article detailing how the Paris attackers operated out in the open, using their own names, credit cards and drivers licenses. Even more absurd the leader was interviewed for a Terrorist of the Month profile piece in ISIS's english language magazine bragging that he had stockpiled weapons in preparation for an attack.

Combined with the evidence that they communicated over unencrypted SMS the evidence is pretty damning that the surveillance state is in the hands of the Keystone Kops.

    The peaceful people are the ones who stayed home. The Muslims who "migrated" to Europe are far less peaceful.

    You do know that all of the identified attackers have been EU Nationals thus far, and not Syrian Refugees, right?

    And, the problem is, they tell the lies so often, and so loudly, that half the people in the nation believes them.

    And that only drives home the fact that the "immigrants" are not asimilating. They have no desire to assimilate.

      No, it is the reverse. Quivering children like you have enough clout that society ends up pushing them away from assimilation. They speak the language natively, they swim in the same pop culture but when they try to participate they are pushed back. Guys like you are the problem. Telling them that despite being born and growing up like everyone else, they are the other. Passing laws like the thinly-veiled ban on veils. [wikipedia.org]

      Wow, you've moved the goalposts so far we're not even playing the same sport anymore.
       
      You used the word "refugee" three times in your post. And the word "immigrant," never.
       
      I guess we're talking about immigrants, now?
