    Worrying about what Muslims might do while Israel is committing a genocide sounds like somewhat misplaced priorities.

        I don’t “have” to worry about such things because I don’t bother worrying about things that haven’t happened and that I have no evidence will happen.

        “There are lots of extremists here” doesn’t mean “one of them is going to bomb Eurovision.”

            Okay? And? What’s the point of worrying about what they’re going to do when? You can’t predict or stop it.

            I live in the U.S., land of mass shootings and many religious extremists of many stripes. I don’t spend my time worrying about where and when the next mass shooting will be. What’s the point? What good does it do?

                And the equivalent of the seat belt here would be what?

                    I’m pretty sure worrying won’t save any lives in a catastrophe, so that’s a very poor analogy.

      No, we need to be able to keep two thoughts in our heads at the same time or we are bound to repeat the mistakes. Terror and oppression is terrible regardless of what the purpetrator and the victim are called.
