As world remembers the victims of 9/11 WTC attacks on the US, it also wonders and braces up for more such incidents. Ever since the September 11 attack, Europe has been in the grip of bombings, ripping apart the notion that Europe was living in a cocoon shell. Should we say Europe and not the US is the prime target of terrorists now?

Successful and foiled bomb attacks seem to have gripped the European continent, particularly UK, Germany, Spain and France, and as Europe questions the reason, a series of harsh-findings come calling its door. Europe is finding itself embroiled in terror attacks for its close proximity to the US that forced it to actively participate in the war on terror as NATO allies, which in itself is a plethora of European nations and the US.

Racial feeling in Europe against the Asians - particularly Muslims and Blacks - spans for ages, kindling racial and religious discrimination in the minds of the natives Europeans. Such a rampant disparity has sounded the death knells for the once peaceful continent. Also, the imprints of colonialism lavished by European powers years ago continue choking the minds of those who were once subordinated by their colonial powers. Many in the underprivileged world still think the colonial rule imposed by the European powers is the sole cause of their present ills. More so, the integrity of Europe in branding the Muslim community as terrorists has called for trouble.

Be it London, Paris, Madrid or Munich, world has become an unsafe hub of profuse terror, where terrorist groups like Taliban and Al Qaeda find safe havens in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia with few sporadic parts of the globe. Their prime target becomes the country of their adoption after getting trained in Pakistan Mujahedeen camps. And we don’t get to hear of such news from the US, but from Europe. So, can we now say that Europe is on the way to attack American hegemony over the world, if not directly then indirectly?
