But the definitely fuel fear and a lack of desire to allow Muslims and their faith into their areas.
What aspect of their faith would be cause for concern? I have Muslim friends, nothing about them is scary in the least.

Somewhere else Scott mentioned integration and someone else mentioned that that didn't want to see these refugees bringing their religion to their settlement areas. I hear stories of neighborhoods in the UK where the police don't go because it's basically been over ridden by sharia law.
That's so far fetched there is no way to dispute it. Someone actually told you that parts of the UK have been lost to ISIS?

This is everything that is wrong with the world today. How the heck can we possibly hope to solve any of the world's problems when even a single media outlet failed to run the headline containing the words Fruit Ninja?

It's kind of interesting that until France was attacked, that these others nations didn't seem to have nearly the same step up response to the Islamic State and terrorism.
The response has been greatly increased. Maybe because IS is attacking anyone that they can, and these nations are demanding action. But still, what took them so long?!
-
Which countries do you mean? France was attacked because they had just stepped up dramatically. It was the step up first, then the attack.
-
Sorry to better express what I mean is the media coverage of these responses has increased dramatically.
