Explosions at Zaventem Airport (Brussels airport)/Brussels metro

[DGuller]

I was going home tonight and walked past the PATH station, as I do everyday.  Except today I saw two Port Authority cops stand near the entrance with mean expressions on their face, and mean assault rifles on their shoulders.  I went WTF for a second, and then it dawned on me why they're there today.

As I continued on walking home, I had another realization.  Why didn't Belgians think to put mean looking guys with assault rifles by the metro entrances?  Surely some of these tragedies could've been averted with this one simple trick?

I like how you ignored my post/question to you, Malthus.

I didn't see it.

It depends what they do. Those who organise a protest in the Muslim district of Brussels after the arrest of the Paris attacks mastermind - or those who throw stones at police cars and ambulances during the same arrest - should be treated as enemies, and with no mercy. Do you disagree?

Is this the one you want me to respond to?

If so, I would say - those that assault the cops ought to be arrested and charged; those who protest - however distasteful I find them - have that right, same as any other group I personally find hateful, to do so within the law (neo-Nazis spring to mind).

Some of the values I want to preserve, that make "us" different from "them", is the rule of law and freedoms such as freedom of assembly and expression; I refuse to make an exception for Islamoid kooks, any more than for any other species of kook.

Unconfirmed reports of a spontaneous demonstration in Sint-Jans-Molenbeek, the mainly muslim protesters condemned the attacks, some held home-made placards, which loosely translated said "Not in our name".

Good. So these would be the Muslims you do not jail and deport, unlike the ones that protested the arrest of a terrorist or threw rocks at ambulances and police. See? This is quite easy.

Impossible to say without seeing the original studies and not just an editorial article from a well-known ideological website. The origin of the article makes me at least cautious and sceptical.

I can only hope you are as critical of the propaganda being spew by leftist websites...

Dikembe Mutombo is okay, thankfully. Too bad he wasn't able to reject the bombers and wave his finger at them.

You asshole, I waited all day to post that.

In the end, there are only 3 kinds of muslims:
Terrorists, terrorists factories, and terrorists in the making.

You wanna save muslim people?
Brainwash them so they stop being muslims.
Or take their brains out of their skulls.
Either way works.

That's not the question I asked - my question was "are these statistics fake?".

I doubt that, even from breitbart.  But I notice there is a selection of numbers from a number of individual polls spread out over the last decade, and presumably each containing many other inquiries.  So right away, there is the possibility of cherry picking bias.  I also notice that some of the questions are rather vague (or breitbart reports them in a vague manner).  Finally, assuming the purpose of this statistical tour through the ages is to prove something about "Muslims" there needs to be a control group.   E.g. how many non-Muslim Russians would say that attacks on America are justified?  To what extent is this capturing general anti-American/British/"Western" sentiment and to what extent strictly Muslim sentiment.

Even accepting the article at face value, the focus on young Muslims just tells us that today's young people are stupid.  We need to look no further than young Americans' support for Sanders to know that.  :p:

plus, it cherrypicks muslim countries

@why europe sucks re immigration: imo, it's the obsession with culture

Is this a rule for everyone or just Muslims?

Has anyone complained yet that people are more in an uproar about the Belgian bombings than the ones in Istanbul?

[Jaron]

Breitbart is trash. This is a site that seriously posts articles about Obama being a Muslim pro gay alcohol drinking Kenyan.

I read it when I need a laugh.

You CAN be Ottoman Empire.
