- Quick Hits | Those advocating the return of foreign fighters are missing a lot
Everyone seems to think Western governments need to drop everything and bring back their terrorist citizens for prosecution/counselling.

►Email - [email protected]11 min - Quick Hits | Why can't the Canadian PM denounce a brutal act of terrorism?
A man is decapitated and a world leader is asked what he thinks of it. Rather than denouncing it as a heinous act he referred to the danger of yelling 'fire' in a crowded theatre. The man in question is Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Borealis wonders why he was unable to do the right thing and simply reject terrorism.

In the wake of the terrorist attack in Vienna, we learned that the perpetrator was a wannabe ISIS fighter who was sent to prison.
