Plus, it will take more time and resources than they are interested in investing in the direction, which is sad because the alternative will cost them far more.

These terrorists were most probably home-grown. And even if they weren't, they find shelter and supply centers within the Islamic communities in Brussels and other cities. Those refuges and supplies need to taken away. There are not nearly enough police in the whole EU to do this. These communities need to police themselves. And there is already a groundwork of Muslims who support this in which to build upon.

In Western Europe, Muslims predominantly live in insulated "ghettos" in main cities. These are ghettos they have created for themselves over 5 decades. And they have become increasingly insular each decade as successive generations of Muslims have rejected the society around them and have felt no need to interact with it. For the society, it has felt no need to embrace and welcome these people and has been happy to ignore them. Now, with unemployment for young Muslim men at ludicrous rates, they are susceptible to being recruited by terrorist organizations like ISIL and Al Quida.

European countries need programs to win the hearts and minds of the Muslims living there, particularly employment programs for Muslim youths. But this is also not a time when Europeans feel particularly close to the Muslims living there.

Are you saying these immigrants failed to assimilate and now special concessions must be made?
