Breaking - explosions at Brussels Airport **Mod warning in post 1**

There are plenty of Irish people who live and work around Brussels. Please think twice before dragging this thread into the gutter with racism and bigotry.

Make the practice of Islam punishable by death in the West. It would give vermin like this something to be scared of. Disgusting parasites.

FFS, that's exactly what we need. A little chap with a tache had a similar idea back in the 30s and 40s.

Over a billion followers of Islam, a tiny minority are scum. Each one of these scum deserve to die horrible deaths but calling for all followers in the west to be killed fir thier beliefs is beyond retarded

Just left Maelbeek about 20 minutes or so. All metro stations shut down now. Was supposed to fly to Dublin this morning. But charged to Amsterdam to fly out Thursday instead only yesterday.

Weirdly my girlfriend woke me up about 3.30 due to a lot of noise in apartment next door. A lot of pacing up and down. And voices. She said they sounded Arabic and had a bad feeling. So weird to wake up to this today.

You always find them in threads and comment sections like this, I'm convinced they are actually secretly delighted that bombings, killings, and maimimgs happen so they can have a rant about 'the left', the left being anyone who doesn't share their pathetically blinkered hate fuelled view of the world.

F*ck that !
You say I'm HAPPY this happened ?

We cant get angry about this ? and angry about the lack of action ?

And how am I blinkered , with a hate filled view of the world, with these attacks and the paris attacks etc .. how is it hate filled to state facts on who is behind this ?

All transport targets.

Attacks designed to cause fear in what is an everyday much needed public service.

Horrific stuff. The video of people fleeing is hard to watch.

All I can say is my thoughts are with the family's involved here.

That is frightening

This is the result of liberal light touch policies. We as a continent are far too easy on these savages

Report this to the local police. Could be nothing, but could be a lead.

At least ye are both okay

Last friday a certain Mr Abdeslam was caught in Molenbeek, Brussels
He was responsible for 130 murders in Paris, november 13th 2015
Since that day in Paris Mr Abdeslam has lived in Molenbeek for 126 days with everybody there knowing who he was and what he had done.

Keep telling yourself i is only a tiny minority and that they have no support amongst their fellow muslims.

What impact will this have on the Euro's?!

I really hope this is a joke. I have friends in Brussels, classmates currently interning for their Bachelor theses in many of the European institutions. Get a grip. People are being injured and killed.

Akrasia

ISIS are scumbags and extremely dangerous individuals, but remember, a car bomb exploded in Belfast a few weeks ago and killed a prison officer.

Terrorism is aimed at stoking a response. If this 'New Ira' group succeeded in causing a panic and returning NI to the siege mentality of the 70s and 80s, then they will have won.

ISIS are trying to provoke a response, they want us to clamp down and react with violence against muslims, because that fuels their propaganda machine and gives them strength.

Every innocent person who gets stopped by the police and interrogated because he/she looks a certain way increases the risk that some of them will become radicalised.

In the immediate aftermath when there are active security operations, a measured response is necessary to locate the individuals responsible for the attack and lock downs and emergency measures are tolerated, but if it extends out over weeks months and years, you create a marginalised section of the population who are made to feel like outsiders and build up resentment against society.

I agree completely that "calling all followers in the west to be killed for their beliefs" is beyond retarded. However I think there is further discussion on your description of "tiny minority".

There are many people who will commit violence for their cause.
There are many people who will not commit violence for their cause but actively support it.
There are many people who turn a blind eye to people in their own communities who are looking to commit violence.

We need to discuss these 3 groupings further but now is not the ideal time.

Love to see your evidence that every person in that area knew he was there.

F*cking fairytale bullsh*t again at the heart of it. I swear, we'll look back at religion in years to come in the same we look back at people who feared witches and worshipped the sun. Absolute plebs. Religion is absolute bollox and anyone who subscribes to it in 2016 is seriously deluded.

As do I have friends there. They're safe.

If you read my other comments I mentioned this as part of my overall comment about their intent to disrupt western ways and that none of us are really safe in Europe anymore. Cop on.

I fully agree with you on this and every one of those should be punished to the full extent of the law.

Indeed and very true. It's not too long ago some of our own fellow countrymen were blowing up various parts of the UK. Belfast, Manchester, Birmingham, London, Warrington, Enniskillen, Omagh. Innocent Men, Women and Children indiscriminately blown to bits by those evil, twisted, blood hungry b@astards.

Did that mean the British Authorities rounded up the tens of thousands of Irish people living and working over there and execute them?

Calling for Millions of Western Muslims to be executed is beyond stupid.

Network is probably going crazy with amount of people trying to dial in and out. Might be easier to send an email. I'm sure they are okay, probably taking today off with the lockdown in place. Good luck

I think you need to report that to the police. It could just be a coincidence but on the off chance it isn't the police may need to investigate it.

RIP to all those innocent people who lost their lives.

It's quite telling that the first thing the knuckle draggers do is have a go at religion or immigrants before showing their respect.

Really showing yourselves up there boys and girls.

It's because religion has been the cause of nearly every war this century and the last. It's absolutely retarded. Most people typing RIP or ''thoughts and prayers to the victims'' from their office or their phone will forget about this within a couple of weeks I'd wager. Sorry if that's unpopular but I believe it.

Do Belgium have troops in the Middle East or any involvement in the war on Isis?

Normal people targeted going about their daily lives at rush hour is a bigger risk than some massive football match where security will be tight. There have been extra security measures added to even the tiniest sporting events in Western Europe for months now. I'm not attaching myself to anything. We're a very small class and over half of them are currently in Brussels.

Do you think security wasn't tight in Brussels this morning?
