This article that I looked into has to deal with the rise of terrorism and the effects it is having on European nation's police forces. The United Kingdom has reported that the number of terrorist arrests or individuals that had terror plans has increased 6-fold from last year. Last year (or 2013) Scotland Yard had only made 25 arrests pertaining to any Islamic terrorist activities. This past year (2014) Scotland Yard made 165 arrests across Britain for crimes such as: the financing, commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism, and attending a terrorist training camp. The other issue that I believe is very significant is that back in August the terror threat level in the UK had been raised from "substantial" to "severe". I think this report only continues to point out the level of danger that radical Islamic terrorist pose to the world. Obviously, everybody knows about what happened in France, but it is not just France. Great Britain has a vast amount of evidence and facts about how the escalation of these terror groups continues to be a problem. I really hope that the U.S. (considering we are the greatest, most powerful nation in the world, whom which everyone looks to for support) can get their act together and realize that not only do we need protection, but the world needs protection from these savages. I would not have a problem with sending in high powered weapons or even some foot soldiers to put an end to ISIS and the threat that they pose to the "world".
