Europe has suffered two Islamist militants attacks over the past 10 days, carried out by assailants in the Austrian capital Vienna and the French Riviera city of Nice.
"To fight the ideology of hatred, we need to set up as soon as possible a European institute to train imams in Europe," Michel, who heads the European Council comprising the EU's 27 heads of government, said in a Twitter message.
"Online messages glorifying terrorism must be quickly removed. There must be no impunity for terrorists and those praising them on internet," he added.
On Friday, EU interior ministers will hold a regular meeting in which they are expected to discuss the recent attacks and new measures to prevent them.

We're supposed to feel 'guilty' about that, I guess. I am also supposed to be equally attracted to males and females, to believe that trans male to females are REAL females, who have periods! and, I am supposed to be kind to people and that it's OK that their express goal and their religion's primary precept has long been to force infidels to convert or die, and that applies to me! Well, sorry, homes, take that PC BS and....
To accept that is the OPPOSITE of the secular society that managed to make the world a better place than what it is obviously deteriorating to.
Like the answers to most 'issues' these days, they're simple. Lockdown/C-1984? Focus on first being aware of the numbers, and using the freedom of the west to let each person do the smart thing - that's how we got here.
Similarly, the PC impolitic best fix for the 'problems of Islam' is SIMPLE! Expel those who have not gotten citizenship but who could have already done so before they overwhelm you, Europe, That will at least slow down the demographic shift which, if it continues as it has been, will cause Europe, by 2060? to no longer even be a supposed group of 'Christian' nations, and your descendants will be wearing hijabs, etc. [Link]
