Is Dissent a Bigger Threat Today Than Terrorism?
Make no mistake, Europeans who stand up to the invasion of Muslim culture into their homelands are to be shunned as a greater evil than the handful of terrorists who threw Paris into a recent panic. Progressive French society will quickly reclaim its day-to-day composure, just as New Yorkers did after 9-11 or Parisians after the Charlie Hebdo attack.

Besides, wasting time thinking about really big issues is a bummer, especially when nightly news broadcasts will conveniently digest everything into a moderate point of view.
