After the recent terrorist attack in Barcelona, a crowd chanted “I am not afraid.” It was a firm demonstration of unity that transcended internal divisions – precisely the kind of unity that will prove critical to defeating Islamist terror in Europe.
PARIS – “I am not afraid,” chanted the crowd that took to the streets in Barcelona after a van was driven into pedestrians on the Las Ramblas promenade, killing at least 14 people and injuring some 130 others. It was the most dignified and appropriate possible response to a terrorist attack, a firm demonstration of unity that transcended internal divisions. While rifts between, say, Spaniards and Catalonians will surely reemerge soon, that fundamental sense of unity must endure.
