Remember the goal of terrorism is to terrorize you. It&#x27;s to get the maximum effect of very limited resources; right now 8 people have around a billion (or more) panicked. Wow.<p>If they are scaring you - especially into a state of conflict - they&#x27;ve won. There were only 8 of them. They can&#x27;t really threaten you.<p>ISIS wants irreconcileable division and conflict between people who are Muslim and others. Are you giving it to them - and because of 8 people? The real conflict should be between peace-loving people and violent nutcases like ISIS - then our enemy is vastly outnumbered.<p>France&#x27;s response should be to counter ISIS&#x27; goals, and heal divisions between people of different religions. Eliminate their ban on clothing worn by Muslims, accept more refugees; nothing would be more crushing to ISIS than people of all faiths living peacefully, happily side-by-side, as friends, neighbors, and families.
