Does France have a terrorism problem? (lemmy.world)

It seems like France stands out among terrorist attacks in the news. Is it because they are more likely to be critical of Muslim culture than other European nations? Is it because there is a security failure allowing terrorist to come in and organize better?

Alright, the real reason why you see terrorism in France more than others, is from what we in Denmark call the Muhammad Crisis.

A Danish satire drawing of Muhammad with a bomb was published in a Danish newspaper. The papers HQ got attacked. A small one, but still significant in Denmark.

France newspaper L'Equipe then reprinted the drawing more than once as a protest for free speech. After that France became a prime target for these kind of terrorists.

The driving terrorism in Nice, bombings in Paris and at L'Equipes HQ, it all happened after that.

This created alot of bad blood between these cultures, and that long going hate is what keeps France a prime target.

The Hebdo drawing wasn't light hearted fun though, it was right wingers trying to wind up religious people. Obviously there's never any excuse for murder but publicly attacking a whole religion will upset a lot of people, and things can lead on from that.

They were not right winger by any way, quite the opposite, they were100% anticlerical far left. Maybe stop talking about something you know nothing about?
