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

What is 15-20% of 1.5 billion? That's the number of Muslims globally who hold extreme views that are incompatible with modern western society. This has been backed up by many polls, such as the numerous ones conducted by Pew.

We are going to be living with events like this occurring every few months for the rest of our lives.

Quoting someone living there will do?

So no evidence at all?

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

Since 2014 on ISIS yes, afaik they weren't involved in the Iraq war though.

Sky News now saying 10 people killed in the metro blast

murpho999 · 22-03-2016 10:15AM

This is going to impact worldwide security at airports now. Screening and metal detection will be before the entrances for all airport users.

I wonder which peaceful religion was behind this cowardly act?

Well, looking at the mod warning on page 1, I assume it was perpetrated by the unmentionables around here...

So either travellers, or MCD.

Complete nonsense post.

What is the point of a thread like this if people can't discuss the possible reasons why these attacks are happening.

I doubt anybody is secretly delighted people are being killed in order to have a rant about someone elses opinions.Only a complete lunatic would think like that.

I'd love to be able to have somewhere to talk intelligently about why these attacks are happening, and what we can do about it.
Facebook or Twitter isn't it and it looks increasingly like Boards isn't it either, despite efforts to try and be.

Apart from having people strip down to their birthday suit and get an anal probe, I'm not sure if there's much more they can do.

Full body scanners I guess, but I don't know if they're more effective than other methods. Airport security is already just theatre anyway.

I said that to my friend, but hey said those delays and queues will also be target for those "terrorists" who choose to wait in line.

Jude13 · 22-03-2016 10:19AM

I presume that opinion will be weighted by the fact that some of the terrorists home country's were invaded, their only commodity siphoned off and maybe even relatives killed.
Now Europe wonders why they follow them home.

RobertKK · 22-03-2016 10:20AM

The real problem is these people who carried out the suicide attacks could be born and bred in Belgium and nothing to do with the migrant crisis, which itself allowed in some undesirable people.

How many Protestant IRA members ? ... There's your link with religion.

A few, some tended to be worse than the true followers.

Take the 70's, if you were English and in the IRA you over compensated. Same as middle class and in the numerous left wing terrorist groups in Europe.

Restrictions will be imposed, the event will be in the public eye, but will life will go on again, as it always has.

So the price of multiculturalism will be living in a heavily armed police surveillance state? yay multiculturalism!

The cucks are out already, didn't take long

I'm fully aware that Brussels is on lockdown but I'd like to know what that means exactly? Maelbeek station is 100m from each of the EC and EPHA offices. Surely they would tell their staff to work from home if the city was truly locked down??

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.

Fear does that.

The murderers of Robert McCartney are still free and walking the streets of Belfast 10 years later.

It wouldn't matter, the queues are the target. You move the front line, the new front line becomes the target.

Terror threat has been raised to 4 - it's highest level.
It was at this previously after the Paris attacks:

Jan Laco · 22-03-2016 10:28AM

It shows how inept the security are of stopping these things, or how much they value the lives of ordinary citizens. It's just numbers they can use to fear monger the public. "We knew the effect capturing Absellam would have on other cells, pushing them into action".

One guy could escape a planned raid on an apartment. Did they not close access routes? And another terrorist has the audacity to run out the front door! As if I act normal I might be let just walk past. It's probably how he evaded capture before.

Just wondering, is there any proof that this was a ISIS related attack?

So an eyewitness statement isnt good enough for you. Maybe because you dont like the message?

What do you want?

Me putting someone from Molenbeek in front of you who confirms what is in the newspaper reported by AFP?

Keep the " I dont like what i read cause it interferes with my believes" act up.

Go live there in Molenbeek and see for yourself if you dont believe me or AFP.

Borders will have to be surely brought back between European countries for the forseeable future?
