These terrorists could have attacked any number of EU buildings (the real people responsible), but instead they bombed a place full of only civilians.

destroying some building is pointless...creating xenophobia is not...tolerance is the greatest enemy of extremists, if you destroy the tolerance, you can easily build an army...
the media is also ramming it down your throats on the other side, because it makes them hella $$$$..."islam is out to get you" sells like hot cakes...
just look at the posts on this board, sweeping generalizations about 1/4 of man kind being barbaric...the terrorists are winning...the moderate europeans are being silenced, ma dalton is a good example...he has a moderate and tolerant view but got called out for it, you will probably not see him posting any more, simply because when you give voice to a lot of idiots, the more intelligent ones lose the will to speak...
1/4 of man kind is, somehow, "evil" all of a sudden...the US bombs vs. the terrorist bombs can be 10000:1 but it will not matter because they "deserve" to be bombed but if SOME of them fight back, then ALL of them are to blame for being bombed
