Germany and Austria stayed out of Iraq. Germany has 2,700 troops in Afghanistan. Austria “has just five officers” there. All Western forces face the threat of Islamo-fascist attacks in Afghanistan. Nonetheless, some al-Qaeda-linked group feels the need to threaten the two European nations:

“Germany will face more threats and dangers if it doesn’t withdraw its troops from Afghanistan…”

“Austria has always been one of the most safe countries in Europe, depending on tourism both in summer and winter,” the unidentified speaker said. “But if it doesn’t withdraw its troops from Afghanistan, it may be among targeted nations.”

There’s no way to play it safe. The West’s mere existence is a threat to the Muslim radicals. Might as well choose to finish the good fight for preserving civilization.
