Author and social observer Mark Steyn, just back from an extended visit to Europe, put forth his frank take on terrorism. "There is a crude arithmetic," he submitted, "which is the more Muslims you have, the more terrorism you have. France, Belgium, and Germany have very high Muslim populations and they have a lot of terrorism. The question for Europe and for the United States is whether you can contain this merely through a big security state. There are soldiers everywhere in France now; I was on the beach in St. Tropez where the police were patrolling among the topless women." Steyn also denounced the growing influence of political correctness. "We are turning into one vast college campus where there is a correct view and alternative views are not permitted. I like to disagree with people, but the left increasingly says they don't want to win the argument, they want to cancel the argument!" The Factor agreed, saying, "You're right, we are living in a totalitarian social environment right now."
