The
European populace might finally hold its leaders accountable for their
continued failure to react forcefully to the threats of radical Islam
following the deadly attacks in Brussels.
Opponents
of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's open borders policy already rebuked
her with historic gains in recent elections, which might mark the beginning
of a larger pattern.
The
Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) predicts that Europe will
experience much more violence over the next 18 to 24 months, according to our
extensive analysis of global Islamist terror trends.
Should
it materialize, voters will revolt.

IPT has identified three key trends that will reverberate through Europe:

Some
weeks after the attacks of 9/11, a Dutch journalist spoke at a panel
discussion in Amsterdam, describing his experience of the events. Faced
with the task of writing up what had occurred in New York that day – the
devastation, the terror, the unanswered questions that remained – he said
he found himself completely overwhelmed. And then at a certain point, he
recalled, clarity came. "I realized it was just about America,"
he said. "It had nothing to do with me."

Tuesday's
deadly, coordinated attacks on the Brussels airport and Metro line marked
the third major terrorist attack to have rattled the Europe Union since the
beginning of last year.
Each
was carried out by terrorists sharing the radical Islamist ideology pushed
by the Islamic State. And they may include some overlapping conspirators.
But we now know that the attacks all featured brothers who had spent time
in prisons.
Most
of the estimated 30 deaths in Tuesday's bombings in Brussels, Belgium were
caused by suicide bombings by brothers Brahim and Khalid el-Bakraoui.

Europeans
are frustrated with their leaders ignoring the threat from radical Islam,

It
took just over four months, but Belgian police on Friday tracked down an
unexpected lead and captured Europe's most wanted terrorist: Saleh
Abdeslam, the mastermind of the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris that killed 130
people and injured nearly 400.
Trapped
in a standoff in the Brussels district of Molenbeek, Abdeslam reportedly
was shot before being arrested. Police found his fingerprints in an
apartment they had raided earlier in the week – a week in which
counterterrorist forces across Europe scored a number of victories against
the growing threat of Islamist terror.

The
revelation of his praise for Palestinians who chose "the jihad way"
to liberation forced northern Virginia surgeon Esam Omeish to resign
from a statewide immigration commission in 2007. But it hasn't stopped him
from enjoying red carpet treatment from Obama administration officials.

Last
week, Palestinian activist Bassem Tamimi published
a letter on his Facebook page showing that his visa to come to
the United States was revoked on March 1.
In
a story published
Wednesday, the Palestine News Network (PNN) continued to push
his claim that the U.S. action somehow was in retaliation for a civil
lawsuit he and others filed against
dozens of Israeli supporters and companies doing business there. "To
stop our effort against the Israeli occupation, the American consulate
revoked my Visa," Tamimi wrote March 8.
