The Germans are not nearly as scared of terrorism as Americans. It's not even close.

There's no real cultural genocide either. That's more fear mongering.

I live in Europe and have spent plenty of time in Germany. The people there - even the right-wingers - are a lot less scared than Americans.

Living in perpetual fear is very much an American thing.
