    So in Europe we had several bombing and shooting incidents from jihadists the past years, we had no bombing incidents from the far right. To be fair in the Netherlands it's the left that's more troubling. In the years past the left wing extremists caused a lot of material damage. Again this pales in comparison to the deaths from bombs and bullets by jihadists.
    To me it sounds like someone needs a new revenue stream or tries to generate value.... Or to put it more to the point: I call BS

      We have had far right shooting incidents in Europe though; Anders Behring Breivik being the most prominent when he murdered 77 people in 2011.

        I could be biased. In the last major terror attack in the Netherlands a collegue of mine was killed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utrecht_tram_shooting). That was a religious nutjob.
        The ones that stand out in my mind are:
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_2015_Paris_attacks
        the 2016 christmas market attack (https://www.theguardian.com/world/berlin-christmas-market-attack).

        I forgot about the the attack in Germany tbh. In hindsight the article could be right and I stand corrected. Although again not seeing this on my local level.
