-SN- Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Looks like another terrorist attack: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-35869254 Quote Two blasts have struck the departures area of Zaventem airport in Brussels. The Belgian government has confirmed casualties but has given no numbers. The cause of the explosions is unknown. Another explosion has now been reported at a metro station close to the EU institutions. The whole metro system has been closed. The blasts come four days after the capture in Brussels of Salah Abdeslam, the main suspect in the jihadist attacks in Paris on 13 November 2015. Belgium has now raised its terror threat to its highest level. Word is that there have been attacks at metro stations as well and the city is basically shutting down.

Red Light Racicot Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Unfortunately, they are following up on what their religion has taught them. Such violence results from a valid interpretation. Im amazed people still dont understand this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 False Flags, then jump to burning books. Not sure who's the real threat? Maybe shed light on these snakes, stop making them martyrs. Show them as the cowards they really are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottish⑦Canuck Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 As sad as it is to say, Europe isn't safe any more. Things will get worse before we see any improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. very sad. I've twice been fortunate enough to be a tourist there for extended periods. There is so much to gain from visiting Europe. Thinking of the hours and days I spent on trains throughout the continent. Could that still safely happen for our youth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visit Germany often, and in recent visits there's been a definite feeling of suspicion and fear about the place. People are scared. Unfortunately the far right see this as an opportunity to recruit, and in some cases it's working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are going to do whatever it is they feel makes them safe. It's a very difficult situation. People are looking to their leaders, whom as humans, have their own fears and motivations.

Jaimito Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 response to the recent arrest, and bombings on ISIS. Violence begets violence. burning Quran idea is stupid. That just causes more violence. Imagine they burn all bibles, you don't think someone won't fight back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Very sad news! I was supposed to be on the trains in Brussels in the next couple of days. Might have to take a new route to get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I wish I could say I'm surprised that this attack has brought out the conspiracy theorists, but it's as predictable as the tides. I honestly smh at the paranoid element of society who actually believe that governments like that of Belgium would willingly murder their own citizens, just to create an environment where they can "take away freedoms". BTW Loonie: The Sun and butterfly "theory" is hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Raff has it right most of all this many posts, only 1 showing any kind of humanity. Today over 30 people lost their lives, leaving hundreds of people without relatives or friends and a nation hurt. And all some of you can do is adjust your tinfoil hat and start saying how we need to simply erase a religion. WTF is wrong with some of you people. Take a moment, breathe. And show some damned compassion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.Am.Ironman Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 So sad to see another event like this. Innocent people dying for someone elses misleaded agenda. On a personal note.. I have a 3month Europe trip planned 6 weeks from now. It seems may-september are going to be dangerous times in Europe for the foreseeable future.

cabinessence Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 What do we know about the suspects so far? Were they from broken homes, outcasts, disgruntled, depressed? We cannot be sure. Were they named Jacques and Pierre? Were they what many moderate Muslims call non Muslim, who attended mosques and learned from an Imam? We know.
