It actually does matter.  You guys go on and on about an onslaught of Islamic terrorism, yet for some reason, Europe in particular has had times like this before and it wasn't just Islamic terrorism.  In the 70s and 80s many of those terrorists were Christian groups like the IRA.  Yes, what is going on today is bad, but the reality is that this seems to be a cyclical problem in Europe and the sky is falling panic that some seem to be pushing is just silly.
