Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If the Moslem/Islamic neighborhood of Brussels is (now, hopefully, was) both a no-go zone as well as the fount of terrorist activities, why would US officials not surveil similar areas in the US? At some earlier point in time, the neighborhood shifted from a gathering of those of similar culture to no-go areas, probably as a result of flying below the radar within the Belgian culture. Why do Democrats/liberals-in-general think it won't happen here? Think: Those who ignore the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them. Can POTUS cut an Argentine rug or what! Who needs work when there's golf to be played, baseball to be watched and dances to be danced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justice Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Horsecrap. All religions have their fundamentalist wackos, but the difference is that they're treated as pariahs by the vast majority of adherents and certainly don't receive monetary and operational support from that majority. It's time for Islam to step up and clean up its back yard. The Islamic scriptures will never be changed. Nor should it. I read the same thing those guys do but I interpret it differently than those terrorists do. These terrorists, by the way, weren't devout Muslims to begin with. The recruiters go after the weak. The ones that use drugs and alcohol and many of them still do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're being asked to literally turn your backs on the terrorists and stop providing support & safe havens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that use drugs and alcohol and many of them still do. Maybe you're interpreting it wrong. I kid...I kid. To follow up on GG's reply you have to find out why they are using the scriptures in the way they are. Their leadership is misguiding them and those leaders need to be gotten rid of. Does your religion have any method by which to do that? I'm not big on religion of any faith but don't most religions have a hierarchy that disciplines or disposes of the lost sheep? Does Islam have such structure? If not then all I have to say is nothing will change and your religion will continue to be hijacked and even though the extremist are a small percentage they will continue to get all the press. With the amount of press they are getting are you the least bit surprised that people think that your religion is not one of peace? I imagine that really pisses you off. Well you've got the numbers. If you have leaders lean on them to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more common pattern is a history of petty crime and incarceration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have leaders lean on them to do something. Yes, it angers me beyond belief. And yes something has to be done to stop them. Execution is the punishment for murder.

drinkTHEkoolaid Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 So what have your Islamic leaders been doing? How should the people in the mollenbeek neighborhood that by and large sympathized and hid these Scumbags be dealt with? They had the ability to speak up and stop these attacks before they happened but said nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 IDK. I live in Miami. My masjid condemns these attacks. You're not getting it. Condemnation doesn't do a !@#$ing thing. What are you leaders doing to prevent them from becoming radicalized in the first place? What is the leadership chain of command in Islam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
