Looks like extremism is increasing in the west, the governments there should carry out operations against the terrorists holed up in their safe havens there to rid the world of this scourge.

The terrorism part of this saga is over, I hope. He's gone through his killing spree and now is just holed up in his apartment with firearms. Cops did the recent explosions to scare him out but it hasn't work. He refuses to surrender. The cops have suggested a forced entry will be done if the intimidation tactics and negotiations don't work.

Who knows what kind of arms he really has in there. It could get uglier than it is.

Whats the west doing to curb extremism in its midst? They decide what needs to be done to remove terrorism from the third world countries. Whats the solution to the problem due to marginalized and polarized youth in their societies?

It's very complicated. I dont know what they are actually doing about it of course. But it definitely has become a concern in the last 5 years.

I have experienced the presence of many more religious nut jobs in UK than in Pakistan. It is weird and worrying, seriously.
