Dutch Terror Expert Not Worried About Terrorism

Nice to know he's taking his job seriously.

'I'm Not All That Worried About Terrorism'
SPIEGEL ONLINE: So what does the future hold? Will things get worse before they get better?

Bakker: I don't think it gets any better. I also don't think it's all that bad, in fact. I'm not all that worried about terrorism. We've seen that security services are more capable of spotting people in time, following them, and arresting them. And that's a good sign. We're not doing so bad and that has to be stressed. Radicalization is the bigger problem because it creates rifts in society that will take a long time to be bridged. In the Netherlands, we have about a million Muslims with perhaps 400,000 practicing. They are an essential part of society and we have to live together. Trying to create some solidarity and attaching them to society is very important.
Good luck with that. This guy would be a perfect fit with the Democrats.

You can be assured terrorists take their job very seriously.
