In the 6 middle eastern countries ive been for almost the last decade, you cannot live there unless you have a degree from a reputable Uni, have a job before you get there, finger printed and don't break any of the laws and respect the local custom.

Lose your job and you're gone.

That's for a start.

If we did that, wouldn't the left say we were racist?

To me the attracts in mainland Europe although inspired by isis ( most likely ) have more in common with the sort of mass shooting you get in the US.

resentment against a society where they were not a success often to do with a lack of academic ability, isis gave them a legitimacy for their resentment .

Thats the type ISIS attracts. The drop outs, the misfits and the angry. But it doesn't really matter at the end of the day because they believe in the cause. For whatever reason.

Yes, lets all jump to conclusions and belittle those who go "hold in a second". Yes, there is a good chance it was ISIS. However, if there is no proof (which, by the nature of your posts, we can assume the answer was no"), but until then, it would be more prudent to find out who it really was before drawing up all these immigration rules etc. I know it's the internet and all, but the lack of common sense and mob mentality can be quite destressing at times.

No, it's far better to adopt the pc/head-in-sand/hand wringing mentality of many posters here.

Well the police are all armed for a start,

Anyhow how would armed police stop people walking into a building and blowing themselves up?

like in Belfast you could have person and bag checks on entering a terminal building.
now, they can blow themselves up at the entrance, but it isnt an attack inside the building where way more people are to be found, or say an American Airlines counter where americans would be concentrated.

Exactly. PC mad in Europe now. Everybody afraid to upset the feelings of others. No matter the cost.

What is the point in pretending it was someone else? I know who it was, you know who it was, the dog on the street knows who it was and to think otherwise is insane.

proper integration is needed - but this is a pipe dream and will never happen.

And how would you push those people to integrate with us when they clearly don't want to?

If you walked into a doctor's surgery with an axe stuck in your skull, would you expect him to take a blood test and wait for 'all other reasons' you might have a headache?

Go live in Molenbeek. Or any other European city that has a "Molenbeek"
Experience it.

Why would I do that?

All I'm asking you to do is provide evidence of your claim and while you're at it explain what you believe my "beliefs" are seeing as you know me so well.

Death toll up to 21 now.

Whoa there. We have to figure out who was responsible for this first because apparently we can't just decide it was ISIS.

Not calling them "those people" would be a good start.

My point is that so many people when they hear the word "integration", in their mind what they see are people from different cultures doing things our way. That's not integration.

True, it could be Al Qaeda.

The sad fact is that 99% of the Arab community is now being tarnished by these radicals.

Respectfully, if they don't want to live in accordance with European values what in the name of fúck are they doing here?

Having said that, you normally never see guns in western European airports.

When did you fly last? I recall them at most airports (be it military or police) and the reason I remember it most were not pistols but SMGs or similar high impact weapons.

Only 99%? I'd say closer to 100% and every foreigner (natural born or not) from every ethnicity included.

Unfortunately Maria it isn't to do with 'finding a place in society'. It is to do with changing society to what is acceptable to them. Only them. We have to change. That is what their aim is.

Fascist scum.

Two benefactors here:

Pro Brexit and Pro Trump. Timing of this could not be any better for both these camps.

Sky reporting death toll as 23 and its indeed awful news.

This is sad but true and it's going to happen in Ireland too.

Unfortunately it's worse than that, ignorant people just assume anyone with brown skin is a Muslim, know Sikh guy who drives a taxi in Dublin who constantly gets fried when these attacks happen simply because of the colour of his skin.

Good idea. Anyone that wants to use this event to have a little racist, xenophobic or bigoted rant, should head over there and leave this thread to the grown ups.

The grown ups will agree that it's all the fault of the victims, because Congo. Then the debate will end in two pages.

Won't do wonders for page impressions though.
