Possible terrorist attacks in Brussels

Its pretty obvious Q will resort to the same retarded memes blaming Western civilization/foreign policy, saying Refugees are "fleeing from the same violence, claiming that Muslim communities are marginalized, i,e typical excuse making for Muslim savagery.

Of course as many of you may know this isn't going to be the last attack committed by radicals. It wont end and everyone is going to have to keep listening to people make excuses for Islamic terror. I think its funny that these people come to Europe wanting to escape the same "terror" they perpetrate in ultra-orthodox countries, and yet still enact it on the Westerner's that give them sanctuary.

Could we not get into this sort of thing in this thread please? People are dead and that sort of blame game is very unseemly. We should be talking about the incident here, not making accusations.

I hope that's not true. I don't want to think that ISIS can plan and execute a successful attack with only a few days' preparation.

Well they gave two alternatives. One was that this was revenge. The other was that the guy who was captured had other terrorist attacks planned and when his capture was announced they just did it anyways.

The keep saying an attack was expected, just not of this magnitude.

Who should we blame?

You don't need to blamer anyone at all except the evil people who did this. You can go argue the wider social contexts somewhere else.

I am blaming the people who did this, and the ideology that has allowed this to happen.

Ok, let me make this super-clear as you seem to have difficulty following this- I don't want to hear crap about how 'liberals are to blame' and I will start throwing out bans if I see any more comments specifically blaming a poster.

That sort of attitude is outrageous in a thread like this. This is not the place for your juvenile political posturing.

Shameful.

Radio news said death toll was over 30 and over 120 injured with at least one confirmed suicide bomber. Awful.

Yep, unfortunately I heard the death toll was like 34 with the authorities in the area the attack happened saying they are likely more to come. So it's likely in the end the number might be a bit higher.

The world is facing a one sided war.

Damn, and it seemed that the Belgian authorities were working so hard to prevent this sort of thing from happening. Terrible.

I think it more likely to be the death-cult known as Isis rather than any religion associated with peace, honestly (fun fact: Isis hates other muslims a ton).

Anyway, my heart goes out to those injured and killed, and I *also* hope unrelated people don't get scapegoated for it.

I agree. ISIS is a radicalized muslim group that even goes as far as attack other muslim groups that are not radical. They also hate the West at large, particularly liberty, women's rights and religious pluralism.

I second that 👆 Let us all unite and pray for the victims.

Well said 👆

Nah. He's saying they like skateboarding and being totally bodacious.

I guess the NYT feels like a bunch of jackasses now.

Considering Islam has very specific rules on warfare, and how they're not supposed to slaughter women and children, or vandalize and destroy property, then no, they're not properly following Islam, hence why the rest of the Islamic world denounces them.

Ironically, this post reflects the current European ideology of, "If you discuss the root cause of all this violence, we will shun you from society and lock you up for being insensitive"

This attack will turn out like every other one has. People will change their Facebook picture to the Belgian flag, people will write #BelgianStrong and politicians will stand up at the podium and say, "This..is a terrible tragedy"

And that will be the end of it, until the next attack..rinse and repeat.
