There are geopolitical reasons for the attacks in Europe?

So the day after the attacks Brussels Europe still proceed in any order, while many states decide to close the border. If this measure may be understandable to give a signal to public opinion on the desire to exert more control, measurement, if analyzed objectively, it seems not entirely useful, because the latest attacks were carried out by residents of Belgium. Certainly for France the value is different, given that it was from Belgium are the bombers parties in Paris and that the links with the perpetrators of terrorist acts are undeniable Brussels. The joint statement of the European leaders talk of attack on democracy, and so it was, which calls for the defense of European values. These words, in their true intrinsic concept, are likely to be only discounted sentences, if they are not followed by a profound change in the practical way of dealing with before the disaster, followed by a series of preventive planning. In Paris, the recurring phrase is "we are at war," certainly not about a conflict in the classic sense of the term, however, the climate is being established generates a deep concern which adds to the feeling of complete vulnerability: no one seems to be safe and all are potential targets. Those who practice these attacks deeply knows the mechanisms of terror and the state of constant fear itself becomes a weapon aimed against Western ways of life, a weapon that is not only the consequence of bloodthirsty acts, but a real goal to reach through them. At this stage, immediately following the attacks, should be put in the foreground the urgency: the population must be calmed with constant and visible presence of the armed forces, which have not only the supervisory function, but also to give back misplaced sense of security. At the same time investigative action should bring tangible results as quickly as possible, so as to highlight the progress made in contrast to terrorist groups, not only the authors of the attacks, but also potential ones. Long times over five months for the arrest of an offender should not be repeated, especially if the attacker is not released from its usual places. But this is still not enough, should be made an effort to understand the real intentions that are beyond the scope of putting insecurity, political reasons that are not clear, as it has to identifying those responsible also in a historical sense of this situation. The coincidence that religious extremism has increased with the construction of mosques financed by countries where the Islamic religion belonging to the Wahhabi Salafi trend is coincident with the structures of power is not a factor to be reckoned with. These religious centers were the catalyst for the widespread discontent of the Arab inhabitants of the suburbs and have channeled to radical concepts in adhering feelings, no matter whether the actual behavior is not often coincide with the precepts provided, what it is counted is that there was an identification that allowed the religious leaders a wide margin of maneuver and influence over these entities. The same donor countries of mosques in Europe have probably supported, at least initially, the formations that then landed in the Islamic state, and the relations between these states and the caliphate, have always been ambiguous. The connection, as we see there and it could be verified, if there were the political and economic reasons to curb these investigations. Certainly find the perpetrators of the attacks and their possible instigators is important, but at the same time, it would be even more crucial to know if there is a plan drawn up at a higher level. The fact that many of these countries are allies, also considered US fundamentals and the West, has so far prevented a full and objective analysis of the phenomenon, but this is no longer be postponed. It is necessary, that is, wondering if the alliance relations with certain countries are sustainable and affordable, not only from the economic point of view, but especially from that of Western geopolitical and stability. This might be the only way to solve the underlying problem of Islamic terrorism in Europe and also in the United States; but to do this will require a major political effort, including the need to revise established diplomatic relations. At the same time within individual states certain religious structures must be canceled for the benefit of those moderate, to which must be requested a greater commitment to Western values ​​in mutual respect.
