NATO Chief Urges Europe Against Terror

European nations need to think more seriously about how terrorism affects them, even in such far-off places as Afghanistan, NATO's secretary-general said Thursday.

Jaap De Hoop Scheffer told a breakfast meeting with the Council on Foreign Relations in New York that the European way of thinking had not caught up with the American perspective that crystallized after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

"In Europe, we still have complicated discussions, be it in the European Union or be it national discussions, of how far governments could go in the relationship with their citizens in the fight against terrorism," he said. "I think Europe should catch up here, not the United States."

I don't think so I mean look at the dutch they are having strong tensions with the muslim community and from what I know from a friend stationed at Italy there seems to be alot of tension with the muslims there too. He says there are alot of morrocans(sp?) that have been causing problems around the US Army base and in cities.
