Islamic terrorism

Have you noticed how Islamic terrorists seem to choose music festivals and the like to maximise their murders?
We had the Manchester Arena, the Hammas atrocity in Israel in October last year and more recently Moscow.
All attacks on innocent young people and then they stand back and whine about Islamophobia when people object.
I have no time for terrorists.

The Moscow one doesn't even make much sense. Terrorism is more effective in societies where people can openly protest, because it can sway the disapproval rating of a leader, and even this is 50/50 at best because often the people just rally under an attack. Attacking a building or facility that affects the functioning of city can be effective, hitting a concert, horrific as it is to civilians, does very little to a country overall. There hasn't even been a clear set of demands raised, which is bizarre given the amount of planning that goes into these things.

@plungesponge they're designed to sow anger and disenchantment with the government. Putin acts like the hard man of Europe, he calls western leaders weak and Russia strong. When civilians are attacked in Moscow it's an attempt to destabilise the public's faith in their leaders to protect them. They're also designed to force the public into questioning their government's foreign policy, to shake them from their apathy.
