This data is strange: the article says there were 211 terror attacks in 2015, with 65 being “separatist terrorism” and 17 being jihad attacks. What were the other 129? Probably what they consider to be “right-wing extremism,” given this quote: “The overall threat is reinforced by the substantial numbers of returned foreign terrorist fighters that many EU Member States now have on their soil, and the significant rise in nationalist (xenophobic), racist and anti-Semitic sentiments across the EU, each resulting in acts of right-wing extremism.”
The possibility that there could be a rise in what they classify as “nationalist (xenophobic)” and “racist” sentiments might have to do with “the substantial numbers of returned foreign terrorist fighters that many EU Member States now have on their soil” doesn’t seem to occur to Europol. And to classify “anti-Semitic sentiments” as a manifestation of “right-wing extremism” when the rise in anti-Semitism in Europe is wholly and solely due to the rise in the number of Muslims there is simply bizarre, and explains why the number of jihad attacks is, in this report, so low.
The report is also flatly self-contradictory: “While the Europol admitted that there is no evidence that terrorist travellers blend with refugees entering the EU, it said that perpetrators of the Nov. 13, 2015 attacks in Paris had entered the EU through Greece as part of the large influx of refugees from Syria.” So isn’t the fact that “perpetrators of the Nov. 13, 2015 attacks in Paris had entered the EU through Greece as part of the large influx of refugees” evidence that “terrorist travellers blend with refugees entering the EU,” a phenomenon for which they just said there was no evidence?
In reality, the jihad threat is rising in Europe, and that is the fault of the European elites. In response to increasing jihad terrorism, the EU continues to import Muslims in massive numbers, although there is no doubt that jihadis will be among them. 2016 is likely to break 2015’s record, and then 2017 will break 2016’s, and so on and on, thanks to the suicidal policies of the Western political elites.
“EU marks record-high number of terrorist attacks in 2015, says Europol,” by Kris Bayos, International Business Times, July 21, 2016:
Incidence of terrorist attacks across the European Union member states has increased by 5 percent in 2015, according to the Europol.
At least 211 terrorist attacks were carried out across Europe in 2015, recent data from the European Union law enforcement agency reveal.
According to the Europol, the 2015 figure shows a 5 percent increase in terrorist attacks recorded in 2014. Yet, the latest record is considered the highest since monitoring of terrorist activities that took place within EU member states began in 2006.
The EU Terrorism Situation and Report (TE-SAT) 2016 shows that the UK had the highest number of attacks, 103 incidents out of the total 211, and most of the attacks were carried out in Northern Ireland. France follows with 73 attacks, Spain with 25, Italy and Greece with four incidents each, and Denmark with 2.
As a result of the record-high terrorist attacks, 148 people have died and over 350 others were injured. It also led to the arrest of 1,077 individuals for terrorism-related offenses, most of whom (424) were attested in France alone. Data also shows that 94 percent of the arrested individuals for jihadist terrorism were found guilty and were eventually prosecuted.
However, Europol notes that terrorist attacks linked to separatist terrorism have been continuously dropping from 167 in 2012, 84 in 2013, 67 in 2014, and finally 65 in 2015.
Separatist terrorism, nevertheless, was the top-rated category, as jihadist terrorism trails behind with 17 attacks in 2015….
While the Europol admitted that there is no evidence that terrorist travellers blend with refugees entering the EU, it said that perpetrators of the Nov. 13, 2015 attacks in Paris had entered the EU through Greece as part of the large influx of refugees from Syria. The Europol report also suggest that a significant percentage of foreign terrorist from Syria or Iraq are now female.
“The overall threat is reinforced by the substantial numbers of returned foreign terrorist fighters that many EU Member States now have on their soil, and the significant rise in nationalist (xenophobic), racist and anti-Semitic sentiments across the EU, each resulting in acts of right-wing extremism,” the Europol added.
To recall, at least 84 people perished during the July 14 Bastille Day celebrations in Nice, France. And just recently, three travellers were seriously injured in a train attack in Bavaria last Monday.

The EU Terrorism Situation and Report (TE-SAT) 2016
Morag says
Seemingly, “…the UK had the highest number of attacks, 103 incidents out of the total 211, and most of the attacks were carried out in Northern Ireland.” By which I’m guessing they mean ongoing attacks by dissidents, like the Continuity IRA..
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-10866072
Andrew Parker of MI5 said in 2014 that, “…of more than 20 such attacks, most were unsuccessful and that up to four times that amount had been prevented.”
Even living in the UK, I wasn’t aware of most of these incidents, nor that they were being categorised as terrorist attacks, rather than crimes. Still, they must be pretty useful for EU bureaucrats trying to downplay Islamic terrorism.
Angemon says
That the report has “islamophobia” as an actual thing, and listed under “right-wing extremism” tells me everything I need to know about it. What it doesn’t have is the description of each individual “terrorism” arrest and attack, which was something I was looking forward to read – I’m wondering how many “attacks” were just words spoken online or shouted on the street.
WorkingClassPost says
And all those refugee shelters that were burned by the residents but listed as far-right attacks.
David M says
Maryland Police Station (which is in the heart of the Muslim area in Sydney) has been attacked, someone drove a car filled with gas cylinders into it, luckily they didn’t explode. The thing about all these crimes now is we know a Muslim did it even before the MSM reluctantly give us his details a day after the crime.

Thanks for that update this attack was in a muslim area. Im hoping his name is released asap before this is swept under the carpet.
Hwilsongoon says
The attacker is a Czech national. He was due in court on violence. Not a jihad attack.
DFD says
That is the conclusive proof that we have nothing to fear from Islam. The data was collected by the “Looney & Dhimmy Tunes Dept.” of the EU.
As to what seems to be a Muslim involvement, there will be an investigation ans some tough questions will be asked – at least two of these. Between main course and desert.
The German interior minister after the train attack: “That the young man was an immigrant is meaningless. It could have been just as well a right winger or simply a disturbed, aggravated young man, any one of us.” The press agrees -surprise! Among the public are questions like: How many “right wingers” and angry young Germans run around chopping people with axes and knives? You can guess the answer, none.
Next finding: Muslim terrorist attacks may not have been carried out by Muslims, but by aliens from outer space, or right wingers. !”Right winger” is everyone who is not socialist/green, at the very least. Also, if you are in disagreemnet with Merkel or Heiko Maas.

Exactly.
Two ‘Asian’ men with knives have just tried to abduct an officer from RAF Marham. Luckily they failed. RAF Marham is in lockdown, people in the married quarters have been told to stay inside, and told it was a ‘possible’ terrorist attack. Possible, my foot. **Of course** it was.

Hi Mirren,
yeah, ‘they’ are taking truly the Mickey out of us. I just posted this to a guy called Marty, apparently a fellow Brit. Have a look if you can be bothered, or bothered to reply. England is getting depressive… Here’s what I posted

kessler says
What are these “separatist” attacks and how many lives have they claimed?
I often argue with people who attempt to downplay the severity of jihad attacks, by claiming right-wing/separatist attacks are far greater threats. Well – who claims more civilian lives?!?
Take France as an example – musllims are 11% of the population, and yet, they are responsible for how big a % of overall civilian terror casualties? In spite of these fact, there are a staggering amount of people who have convinced themselves that the real threat comes from right-wing bigots. That one day they are going to rise up and start a new holocaust. Madness…
mortimer says
The double-talk of the Western elites is unending and breathtaking! They claim in the same breath that jihadist entered through Greece with economic migrants, but that they didn’t enter with the migrants.
Nothing they say may be trusted.

Amazing. What a play of smoke and numbers.
And that axe terrorist is 17? Really?

Calls for compulsory school Islam classes after axe attack
Local authorities are calling for classes on Islam to be brought in at schools across the country after a radicalized Muslim youth attacked passengers on a train with an axe on Monday.

Sadly, it is the innocent citizenry that is maimed and slaughtered by Radical-Islam, not the politicos, the weak-kneed, Euro leadership. In fact, there is not a huge between Radical-Islam and the so-called moderates. The so-called Euro leadership will never cease pulling their heads out of their most preferred orifice when it comes to the truth about Islam, the religion/cult of bloodletting.
