    Not so great an analogy, because

    1) You mean general relativity, not simply "relativity". QM and special relativity get along just fine.

    2) The inability to reconcile QM and GR isn't seen as a fundamental contradiction because nobody believes that either -- even QM -- is fundamentally true. Both are seen as improvements on past models; but since all such models are expected to have limitations (and thus neither are believed to be truth), there's no contradiction: just an exposure of the limits at which the models fail, providing motivation to come up with a better model.

    On the contrary, you should run from Europe to the US...

    The problem is that you can only "watch" those people who fit certain characteristics like being spotted with other people suspected of terrorist ties or who went to a country with terror cells. There is also watching people because they went to the home of their parents/grandparents and there is terror activity there.

    It is very easy to miss people because they might not fit these characteristics. But at the same time, a significant people being watched may just have a characteristic that is unrelated to terrorism like visiting your grandmother on the Turkish border.

    Even with a ridiculous amount of money spent, this is a hard task.

    This is true - it is and will be even more expensive, since I am not sure how long this state may last - maybe permanently? In France it is already over two years that they have army on the streets, in the UK soon may come to that as well.

    May be good way of thinking for you. Italians for some reason do not think that, and keep bringing thousands of unverified people to Europe every day... What will US do, if the melting pot of Europe explodes and remnants of "Ethnic Europeans" will try to escape to America in panic? Will they let them in? Or will they tell them to head for Australia?

    The problem is that if you generalize, you end up wasting more money.

    There is an assumption that Muslims are condoning this. They aren't. There isn't much they can do. The terrorist aren't telling them about their plans.

    Three white supremacists beat up a 28 year old African American musician and then executed him in the Bay Area last year. White people can condone it, but they can't really do anything to stop it if they aren't there.

    What did he do to anger them so much? Were there marches of support or against violence or something like this?

    It is not Pavel, it is Seba, or Sebix now...
    Trump angered them? He was telling them to kill Black musicians?

    I don't know who you referred to as "him" in the prior post. If it's the musician, he walked out of the bar he frequents and was jumped in the parking lot.

    The thing is that violence is inherent to islam. Nobody says this has to result in everyday attacks by the average muslim on the street. No, thats a strawman you made up yourself.

    But like other major terror groups can they only survive or in this case thrive if there is a big crowd of sympathizers. Like ETA or the RAF in the 70ies. And Im afraid the number of them goes into the hundred thousands if not millions in Europe. Not even talking about North Africa or the Middle East. Just look at the pew studies to realize there is what we may consider radical is if highly exaggerated 1% of Christianity. In islam the radicals are the norm. So like the Rock am Ring promoter said in the vid you should rather ask the question: Where are the millions of muslims demonstrating against those criminals? Where are they? They only go out to demonstrate for themselves saying "dont judge us". They are playing the victim card like they do all the time.

    That all is a fact. And all of your relativizing of this very fact is part of the problem and the opposite of helpful.

    Arab countries cutting ties with Qatar... odd...

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-40155829?SThisFB

    Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen have cut diplomatic ties with Qatar, accusing it of destabilising the region.
    They say Qatar backs militant groups including so-called Islamic State (IS) and al-Qaeda, which Qatar has denied.
    The Saudi state news agency SPA said Riyadh had closed its borders, severing land, sea and air contact with the tiny peninsula of Qatar.
    Qatar called the move "unjustified" with "no basis in fact".
    The unprecedented move is being seen as a significant split between powerful Gulf countries, who are also close US allies.
