We remain vulnerable. There is no such thing as 100 percent security against terrorism.
From Gijs de Vries
Terrorists always have the advantage of surprise.
Terrorists have failed in what is arguably al Qaida's most important objective - to trigger revolutions.
Terrorists have failed to trigger mass conflict between Muslims and non-Muslims in Europe. We should draw strength from that fact.
Ultimately, freedom and democracy are stronger than fear and tyranny.
In the fight against terrorism, national agencies keep full control over their police forces, security and intelligence agencies and judicial authorities.
We have an integrated picture of the threat from outside and from within that is provided not only to our foreign ministers but also to our justice and interior ministers.
There are no automatic links between poverty and terrorism. Among millions of poor people in the world, only a few turn to terrorism.
In situations of military conflict, civil strife, lawlessness, bad governance, and human rights violations, terrorists find it easier to hide, train and prepare their attacks.
The violent radicals do not legitimately represent the overwhelming majority of the world's Muslims.
