That is exactly the "wildly irrational [propaganda that is] being pushed 24/7 by the most powerful and richest entities on earth" 'adventured was talking about. Sadly, this kind of association is so present in our culture now that we need to work hard to stop thinking like that.

> And living in France, I'm sure you would agree it's not irrational to think that.

France is big and - like every country - mostly uninteresting to terrorists. Do you live in Paris?

> France [...] mostly uninteresting to terrorists

Seriously, are you uninformed or trolling ? The French wikipedia page [0] (sorry it's not as detailed in English) lists 8 terrorists attacks (3 failed attempts) for the year 2015. I don't want to become an interesting target !

> Do you live in Paris?

I don't and Hervé Cornara[1] didn't either.

So I'm not cowering in fear, ready to accept "fortress Europe" [2] however I'm legitimately (or so I think) worried.

Uninformed. Thanks for the links, I didn't realize there were more than 2 attacks in France this year.

English Wikipedia has a nicely formatted list[0].
