I wonder why five islamic terrorist attacks didn't seem to have any impact on Denmark, while France and Germany have escalated their police states to incredible levels. Is it also because of all the trust? Do people in Denmark maybe trust that the police will catch the perpetrators, while we in Germany know that the Police no longer even tries to catch petty thieves and could never be trusted to avoid a terrorist plot?

Dane here. I live 500 meters from one of the attacks. I've been happy with how the police has handled the terrorist situations. I do not fear going past the place of the attack - it's not a trend.
We have no guns allowed, no large knives, no pepper spray, etc.
In terms of effective anti-terrorist means, I don't see what I could ask of politicians.
What usually happens is terrorist attacks put immigration on the political agenda. In that sense I don't see Denmark reacting much differently than USA, France, or others, where immigrants are sometimes directly accused of being terrorists, stealing jobs, stealing the women, stealing welfare, etc.
