Russia is in The West as far as the cultural definition goes, I'm not sure why you'd think it isn't? I'm not sure anybody would say "The US represents the West" and, finally, one of Da'esh's main sympathisers in Africa (Boko Haram) has a name which means "No Western Education". You possibly need to do a lot more research.
See the problem with generalizing.
What is the definition of "the west", come to think of it,
you are using one term to generalize several. By that definition I live in the west so I should be threatened, yet I'm not being threatened by ISIS or Islamists, because they have no interest in attacking a place like where I live.
Part of their war is against Muslims and many, many of their victims are Muslim. Please don't tell me what I'm assuming, in this case you've got it very wrong.
At which point did I said that Muslims are/are not going to be targeted.
This comes out of nowhere honestly.
Of course they aren't, wait what did Trump said ...
Yeah, we should ignore US presidential candidates,
right?
For starters the Hanover warning a few days after the Paris attack - that warning was based on credible evidence. Then there's the history of terror attacks in Germany by differing groups, of course.
Again, we are talking about Jihadists attacking targets, not Terrorism in Germany. You are right, there has been terrorist attacks on Germany, but you are taking it way out of context, because you are taking terrorism as an ideology rather than a proceeding.
We are talking about islamists here, not terrorism as a concept, I can agree that you know how it goes so this rebuttal comes out of context to me. The Hanover warning is that, a warning, under the banner of credible evidence which is largely confidential away from public opinion, an attack is different from a threat, regardless of how you put it.
Cool,
come back in 1972. And other years. Also take a closer look at the
Hanover alert. Germany is a real and credible target.
Again, generalizing ... 1972 = 2015. You are comparing 1972 communist guerrillas with 2015 islamist jihadists, so you already know the differences between them.
As I said, I think you need to do more research into the whole situation although that's only my view.
Says the person who's counter argument is a list of terrorist attacks that have nothing to do with Jihadism, only one stabbing on a random street in Berlin, sure it was a self proclaimed Jihadist, but that does not mean that it had an ultimate goal to accomplish on ISIS behalf.
