It's really not a "fear" thing ,as it is a fact these actions do get used as recruitment tools. The fear is what those newly recruited terrorists due because of it. Unfortunately those actions can affect more countries and people then the one's directly related to this decision.

yeah... as I said, this is to big parts a populist decision, playing to a certain base. That's the main tactics and the main thought.
Also, and sure one says that until it changes, but it's not so much about actual terrorism. The reasoning is avoiding extremism, parallel societies, people taought to not believe in western society and our constitutional state. The fear is that people opposed to the state of law are breeded in these mosques, not that it harbors actual terrorists. But sure you're right, they possibly now just get breeded elsewhere, possibly more in the underground with even less state control. This whole deed won't help much.

Going after the individuals is a tough thing to do. Most are probably just more or less disgusting extremists, but didn't actually break a law. And abandoning the state of law to fight those who want to do just that is a questionable approach.
