For the immediate future, expect terrorist attacks to grow in number and velocity across the World.
ISIS grows ever stronger and really it is only in its infancy of organising attacks across the world.
I expect these attacks to multiply and grow in intensity, as ISIS gets ever bolder in confrontation with the West.
In some ways it reminds me of the Vietnam War. We now have so many Muslims living in Western Countries that the guy who brings your pizza, could be prepping up a bomb in his spare time.
This kind of 'War' will go on and on until such time that ISIS or similar thinks they have a shot of taking a whole Country. Then War proper breaks out.
Miserable scenario but that's the way it is I'm afraid.
What you said....
I concur.
QUESTION;But why is this circumstance coming upon us [upon Western nations] ?
ANSWER;Western nations are corrupt -
we have morally
corrupted ourselves.

Quote:IMO, ppl like yourself seem to want a 'peace' at any cost.
But, imo morality, or life, doesn't work like that.
Peace comes from defending open truth.But your logic seems to be;
'Wanting' something, will produce it.
Or;
'If we give bullies what they want, surely, they will be satisfied, and leave us alone.'
They won't.
If you give a bully/thug, what he wants, he will come back again, and again.
And eventually he will take from you, everything that you own.
And the last thing the bully/the thug, will take from you, is your life.
The appeasement of evil men, does not lead to peace.
IMO, this generation has lost the ability to discern between good and evil, between truth and falsehood.
As individuals, we all know, or as adults, we should know by now!, that
if we walk away from truth, we will [always!] reap confusion in our lives.
Peace and lawlessness cannot exist together.Q.
What tends toward lawlessness ?
All violence [actual and implicit] which is justified by a mind, which serves human corruption.
Q.
What tends toward Peace ?
A love of open truth.
Truth brings peace, through justice, and the judgement, of wicked people.
When wicked people [criminals] are judged and removed from a society, that society, will enjoy peace.
REAL peace.
Whenever a society of men have a deep love of truth, that society will enjoy peace.And, visa-versa.
