Is this the new normal?
Just another Tuesday in Europe, they should institute bomb control laws like the US so these kind of things can’t happen.
Trump looking pretty good on immigration right now.
…just so we’re clear, this is exactly how ignorant the Europeans look when they pull this sh*t after a US event (Ghibli / Pokhim):
So does this validate Trump’s view, or does he make it worse?
I don’t know the statistics on this one and I admit he appears to have a point. But my gut tells me it’s not unlike the US gun control debate. There are already enough potential homegrown radicalists in circulation that the real problem remains ISIS and other extremists groups rather than the influx of new potential weapons (in this case immigrants).
Rather than immigration, as you pointed out, bigger problem is homegrown terrorists who can comfortably navigate European society.
I find this kind of terrorism very scary for two reasons.
Firstly, they seems likely to have been born, raised, educated in Belgium (yet to be confirmed, but the terrorists behind the Paris attacks were). Not like 9/11 when they flew in from the Gulf region. Belgium can’t build a wall to keep these terrorists out. They are Belgians.
Second, what is the motive here? Often terrorists have a clear goal, for example the end to colonial rule from a foreign power etc. You can at least rationalize and negotiate with that kind of thinking. But here the goal just seems to be to create murder and chaos. It’s not even clear that these terrorists what to instigate Sharia law in Europe. The profiles of the Paris attackers were mostly far from devout. They drank, partied, rarely attended religious services etc.
^ i’d say motive is to destabalize the region same was their home countries are being destablized by the west. tit for tat in the worst way
Motive is shit.If these loosers were not educated by some saudi financed scholar none of this would have happened.I just don’t see why people are never going to see the head of the snake, some terrorist looser is not the big issue here as an individual, some very legitimate looking islamic countries are behind financing these organizations and the motive of an individual is not that important IMO.
I BLAME HILARY CLINTON FOR ALL THIS MESS. SHE WANTED A #FUCKINGDEMOCRACY IN MIDDLE EAST.
Keep all the muslims out? Is that a solution? And one thing I don’t understand why the hell no leader from Suadi or other middle eastern country condems the attack? do they silently support it?
The motive for ISIS is simply to maintain momentum for a zealot organization (nothing new). If it stalls, it dies. Radicalizing a few people here and there to do acts like this is just a sideshow for them.
Even if they said they are sorry would you believe them ? Just look at how many wahabi organizations are funded by KSA.
Canada should stop bringing all these refugees now. Its impossible for them to integrate in society now, how would you learn american culture when you have already spent 40 years of life in a barbarian culture. They won’t get jobs and would become desperate. These people are very easy target for ISIS.
#NoMoreRefuggees
The motive is that some people just want the world to burn. Furthermore, in European countries, people are overtly racist or xenophobic, marginalize immigrants, and treat the refugee population as second class citizens. When people are mad or frustrated, they look to break things or set off bombs.
There’s no easy solution to this problem that I can think of, but it’s easy to see European countries toughening their position on immigration as a result. They would spend more on security, but they don’t seem to have the money.
The head of the snake may very well be the government that claims its trying to protect you. what do you do then?
The motive is always a profit.
^profit maximization?
If I wanted to attack snakes I would have chosen a different path.All I am saying is ISIS and all the rest won’t be a problem if certain nations stop preaching All that salafi B.S
Bulgaria’s prime minister has said the foreign policy of “certain EU states” has blown up in the face of European politicians and made the Brussels attacks possible. Europe should show that it won’t let the terrorists “destroy our civilization,” the PM said. “It is unfair and unjust that people we take care of deliver a stab at the very heart of Europe,” Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov said in comments on the terror acts in the Belgian capital on Tuesday. “We see in that the failure of the foreign policy of a whole series of European states.” “Terrorists cannot be integrated [into our society],” Borisov added. The head of the Bulgarian government also issued a special statement, calling on Europeans “to show the world they would not allow terrorism to ruin our civilization.” They don’t seem to like these Muslim immigrates.
