Coronavirus isn't the only threat Europe is now facing. On Friday, police in Spain arrested a Moroccan man on suspicion he was planning a terrorist attack in Barcelona. According to local police, the suspect has links to the Islamic State, but became even further radicalized after the lockdowns began in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
It was the second Islamist terrorist apprehended by Spanish police in two weeks.
This latest arrest also comes only days after extremists in the Netherlands threatened to assassinate popular Moroccan-Dutch DJ Morad El Ouakili over his radio program, "Ramadan Late Night." El Ouakili's crime: playing music, which extremist Muslims consider haram, or forbidden, during the holy month of Ramadan.
