Its a reasonable assumption.

Really? So you can't just pull up random people's social media profiles that like to spout anti-social nonsense? You mean I have to actually get to know and be friends with people to find out their inner secrets in 2018? I knew that was the case in 1988. I had a friend back then that was legit psycho, but I didn't know it for a couple years because he didn't let it out to play all the time like people do now. Today, you can see people proudly waving their freak flags on YouTube and Facebook.

Original claim was that a lot of Europeans celebrate the destruction of WTC.
While I agree there are facebook/other social media profiles that shout their extremism I simply don't see a lot of Europeans celebrating the event in question.
I know quite a diverse bunch of Europeans from most of the countries since I am from here and not one of them is happy about the death of so many innocent.
Perhaps its because I don't have any muslims that live in Europe as friends.
Maybe Trappin considers them as European and thats where our opinions differ.

I avoid Facebook like the plague it is, so I'll take your word for it. However, I do see a lot of "out of the box" views from Europeans via other means: skinheads, neonazis, fascists... The statement wouldn't really surprise me if it is true. After all, the WTC was seen as the center of capitalism around the world by many. It's not one I particularly care to fact check, either, as I put as much trust in posts here as I do in posts on Facebook.

I suppose that's going to depend on how long they lived there, then. Many have lived in European countries for a couple of generations, at least, especially considering how many parts of the Muslim world was a protectorate or territory of some European nation up until WWI. Not all of them are fresh "off the boat" refugees. It's been four generations now since WWI, too, and that's a lot of familial dissent that has been bottled up for some time that just needed a fuse to light up.
