Some might call Eurovision music itself some sort of terrorism but as it is a huge international event and one of the planet's biggest live TV-events it's certainly is also a rather inviting target for real terrorists. Last year German police had to deal with it (remember this?) and the other years have not been saved either.
This year the threat might be just slightly more real. The news from Azerbaijan report the local police have arrested 17 members of a group that were preparing an attack against "European scum" with "knives and chemicals". During the arrest one of them blew himself taking one policeman with him.
An article published on Ummanews.ru by an author who calls himself
Mouslim, says that "Eurovision is a nightmare for all Muslim people. Forces
of Satan, perverts, and homosexuals of the world must know that they
can not easily come to our land where righteous Muslims spilled their
blood and behave as they want. They will be attacked for sure," Mouslim
wrote. The author of the article says that: Muslims will not miss the chance to deal with the legal objects for destruction. According to Mouslim, no special security forces would be able to prevent the "massacre against the infidels." writes gazeta.ru.
Oh well, we can only wait and see if Eurovision circus has traveled a bit too far into the east-south this time to someone's liking. Meanwhile the security forces in Baku have been tightened. And surely the only terrorism we will face is that of some musical flat notes in a wrong order....
