I wonder if the EU is going to keep accepting refugees and allow free movement from country to country.
Looks like they keep getting burned again and again.
explosion at the airport is confirmed suicide attack.
23 dead confirmed so far.
Once I heard there were 3 separate explosions (one being all the way at the subway), obviously it had to be terrorism.
I don't think Europe is adjusting to today's ISIS situation enough. I don't know how many of these attacks they will keep enduring before realizing it's time to do things differently.
maybe trump is right, maybe torture is necessary.
torture them for shits and giggles
religion y'all
ya there is one but they got shut the fuck down by Saudi and other super rich muslim countries. no muslim riffraff allowed i guess
tent city redy to go...
Saudi Arabia's tent city, Mina, is best known as a stopover site during the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. It is the world’s largest tent city, covering approximately 20 kilometers and holding more than 100,000 tents. Mina is packed during Hajj, with prices starting at $500 a tent, but it is almost totally deserted during the rest of the year.
However, the two issues are not necessarily connected. As Mina is a traditional rest site during a holy pilgrimage, it is not likely that any refugees would be placed there, even if Saudi Arabia completely opened their borders to them. It is also uncertain whether Syrians would prefer to enter Saudi Arabia on refugee visas, and if so, whether they would be comfortable sleeping in tents that are intended for pilgrims — even if they are air-conditioned ones.
Yep it's almost impossible to stop movement across Europe. It's like trying to prevent movement from State to State in America.
Refugees are themselves victims in all of this. But it was a huge mistake for the likes of Merkel to encourage said refugees from Syria into Germany and wider Europe. Because it was blatantly obvious that people with bad intentions would use this mass migration to smuggle themselves and their weapons between the Middle East and Western Europe.
And i will say this again - Britain and America's decision to invade Iraq all them years ago created the current breeding ground for what is happening today.
Saddam, Assad and Gaddafi may of been no friends to the West. But they're infinitely better (for us) than what has, or is trying to replace them as we speak.
It was our governments who opened pandora's box and nobody has ever been held to account for those grave errors.
Plenty of faceless cunts did get mega rich from it all though - so all good.
Brussels is a freakin beehive of these isis goons..... wow
Markets got the news and yawned.
New normal.
Not surprisingly Trump using this to try and get votes. Man has no shame.
From his twitter:
I have proven to be far more correct about terrorism than anybody- and it’s not even close. Hopefully AZ and UT will be voting for me today!
Trump made 3 other tweets as well and not a single one had anything with expressing sympathies for victims. The other two tweets were used to explain how Belgium is no longer safe and take a shot at Obama.
You remember anything about the IRA in London, Lord?
Obama calling for the banning of assault bombs. JK, he called us all racists and that our country was founded on slavery while in of all places, Cuba.
I'm 200 miles from London so that campaign never really affected me or mine. Also the IRA openly stated my city was safe due to the huge Irish connection here.
IRA of course had Londoners fearful. But unlike the monsters of today. Most of the time the irish would give some sort of warning which allowed civilians to find cover. But didn't stop many from being murdered in cold blood.
And as much as I despise what the IRA did. Their grievances were kind of legitimate. Britain had plenty of blood on its hands for what went down in Ireland over the years - Just like Palatine have genuine grievance against the land grabbing Israelis.
The world population is estimated at 7.4 billion right now. By the precepts of their holy texts, Muslims consider the other 5.8 billion people in the world infidels and subject to death. If the United States were to disappear off the face of the Earth tomorrow, do you believe that Muslims would stop attacking European targets?
I am no Trump fan but he was actually all over this a couple of months ago.
On January 27th, Trump was interviewed on the Fox Business Channel.
“There’s something going on, Maria,” he continued. “Go to Brussels, go to Paris, go to different places — there’s something going on, and it’s not good.”
Trump said that in order to stop radical Islamic terror attacks, “there has to be assimilation” of Muslims seeking to practice Shariah law.
“You go to Brussels — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago. So beautiful. Everything’s so beautiful,” he said. “It’s like living in a hell hole right now. … There’s something going on.”
I know it doesn't take a genius to realize that Brussels may be a terror hotspot, but what other candidate mentioned it?
How did the press react? The NY Times ran an article mocking Trump's comments.

I must of spent at least a year of my life on Muslim soil. And trust me, 99.99% of them wish no harm to non believers.
Actually many Christians have lived alongside Muslims in most Middle Eastern countries in total harmony.for centuries.
There is no doubt a rise in fanaticals who are taking certain context in the Koran quite literally. But almost all Muslims dispute this and wish us absolutely no harm.
And by your reasoning. Would you consider a full extermination of all black Americans?
Because that would surely make America safer, right?
Well considering it was EU funding that dragged Liverpool off its knees, then yes I'll be voting to stay.
That doesn't mean I haven't got issues with the EU. But when you see the likes of Boris, Gove and IDS calling for us to leave. Then that's probably a good reason for the working class to vote stay.
A widely held myth among Islamophobes. Because Islam calls for...
(1) protection of "the people of the book", i.e. Christians and Jews, (at least the ones who actually practice the religion, not just give lip service to their faiths)

and (2) generally protection of innocent people, i.e. non-combatants.

So, how come you haven't stopped those right-wing nutjobs in the US from occassionally killing Sihks because they mistakenly think they are Muslims?

By your logic, you must either agree with them or are afraid of them.
You are obv correct. Abu Grhaib and Guantanamo are why Muslims have shown aggression towards the Western world for the last two millennia. The Koran does in fact call for those things to happen. It is the same as the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. The difference is, that in Christian belief, Jesus fulfilled the old covenant and it's laws.
It's time for this once great country to kick all of the ARABS OUT
Well this shit only happens in America right Lord of the Fags? You're dumber than shit. Sure we have n-words that like to riot and cause general harm to regular humans but at least I don't have to worry about some jackass blowing himself up along with dozens of others, generally speaking. Maybe this is the new normal though. I will tell you this. As fucking bad as you think it is where I live I feel a fucking hell of a lot safer here than anywhere else in the fucking world. Clean that cock by the way.
Dear Krypt,
How's it feel to look like a terrorist?
Have a great day.
I think the media is indirectly responsible for much of the terrorism. The terrorists know they will get a shit load of around the clock coverage from every single media outlet. Some lonely loser in the fucking middle eastern sand dunes surrounded by a bunch of camels wants to get famous. He knows if he can kill a bunch of people he's already jealous about all the worlds media will make him famous. "Megan Kelly, Donald Trump, Dan Druff, and Pres. Obama will be talking about me wow!". That's the promise that terrorists get from the media.
Fuck that shit, new rule. No terrorist attack gets more than a few hours coverage. If they just printed a tiny article for these kinds of things they'd probably stop. Republicans need this shit to scare people into buying their fear porn.
Still one of the most powerful pieces of journalism from the Bush era.
Have a look, you will be surprised at all the terror scares and alerts from the Bush admin that you forgot about.
