Mindless act of religious fanatics

In a matter of just little over six months, France has been sadly struck with another terror attack in Nice, killing 84 innocent people consisting of children, women and elders at a Bastilee Day Celebration. This is a cowardly act of war justified in the name of religion.

Comparatively, Western European countries are accredited for human rights, freedom of speech, secularism, equality, justice and fairness. They are striving to make the world a better and safer place to live. They are not obsessed with their religion and yet they are decent human beings; kind, compassionate, rational, honest and good hearted. These dynamic, progressive and innovative people have made enormous contribution to the mankind by invention and advancement in technology, science, medicine and many other areas. With their inherent skill of management, organisational ability, entrepreneurship, ideal welfare and right political system, some Europeans countries including UK and France have become paradise for the worn-torn and poorer countries.

Many ethnic groups from different part of the world have escaped misery, hardships and persecutions and have settled in western countries and made themselves comfortable. Regrettably, some aren't grateful and wedge a war to destroy the religion culture, system and laws of the land of the country of their adoption. Western European countries have dangerous enemies to deal with. I wonder if they can ever find a solution!
