DW: the state is unable to protect its citizens from terror

DW: государства уже неспособны защитить своих граждан от террора

Chief editor of DW Alexander Kudashev, commenting on the terrorist attack that took place in nice and killed over 80 people, said that “democracies, and especially France, which is suffering already from the third horrific attack, challenged”.

“Terror walks everywhere, so people in free societies — and not only in them — are increasingly fear. They can feel and sense the danger that lies in wait for them constantly — and on weekdays and during the holidays, ” he writes. — The state, it seems, is no longer able to perform its most important task. In spite of the criminal police, intelligence services, the increasing surveillance of citizens, despite huge expenditures on the police, it is unable to protect its citizens. Terror is omnipresent, because it grows from within societies themselves”.

According to Kudasheva, “we are facing a situation in which will rule the roost hatred, exclusion and racism. For public companies this is a nightmare”.

“And, of course, we must now wage war against the “Islamic state” (organization banned in Russia — approx.ed.)… You need to take Raqqa, to defeat ISIS and bring the surviving fighters to the court which will put an end to the terrible dream of the Islamic Caliphate. And it will have to cooperate with any forces, even if such cooperation seems to be “unattractive” in the political and diplomatic sense, says DW editor — in-chief. And then, you have to wonder why so many Muslims in secular Europe and in America with its diversity of religions succumb to the allure of militant Islam? What breaks their identity to such an extent that they follow the self-proclaimed Caliph in raqqa or admire on the Internet suicide bombers, honoring them as heroes? Of course, it is a long public process. But in the framework of free societies will learn, will have to learn to overcome their helplessness”.
