Six Muslims arrested in massive Brussels police operation

Mar 24, 2016 8:12 pm By Robert Spencer

A massive wartime operation, in a war the West has still not made up its mind to fight.

Brussels manhunt

“6 Arrested in Brussels Police Operation after French Raids Foil Planned Terror Attack,” by Emily Knapp, Meghan Keneally and Julia Jacobo, Good Morning America, March 24, 2016:

Six people have been arrested in a large police operation in Brussels, a Belgian prosecutor said Thursday night, as two suspects in the deadly Brussels bombings remain on the loose.

The six arrested were detained for questioning, a Belgian prosecutor said in a statement. The decision of whether to charge them is expected to be made tomorrow.

Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon tweeted earlier in the evening that five people had been arrested.

Several houses were searched in Brussels, Schaerbeek and Jette, the prosecutor said. The police raids were conducted in connection with the Brussels terror attack investigation.

News of the raid came shortly after raids in northwest Paris foiled a planned attack, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.

The French plot was at the “advanced stage” of preparation and was discovered after a French national — described as being at a “high level” in the plot — was arrested this morning, Cazeneuve said.

There did not appear to be links “at this stage” between the plot foiled in France and the Paris or Brussels attacks, he added, saying the arrest is the result of weeks of investigation and the individual was involved in a “terror network” that planned to strike….

    From that pic:

    New clues and the warnings officials missed

    That’s the con – that if only we’re on the lookout for this and that then such attacks can be predicted. As long as authorities ignore the islamic justification for terror attacks there’ll always be a missed “warning”.

      I suppose that the officials dropped their guard after Merkel in nearby Germany vouched for the peaceful character of the terrorists.

    Lucky they managed to get a warrant to search the premises on time to beat the 9:00 pm deadline. That was some fancy footwork! These cops are really on the ball.

    (For those who don’t get the source of my sarcasm, we have learned recently that Belgium has laws that say you can’t search somebody’s house later than 9:00 pm at night, or before 5:00 am in the morning.)

      Yes, I hear that in the Madeline McCann disappearance in Portugal there was a similar STUPID rule existing for Portuguese police, The are not allowed it seems to open or enter a closed door, JESUS !!

    Man, I am so sick of hearing about radical Muslims who are “on the terror watch list.” Basic common sense: if they are that dangerous, have them GTFO of your country.

    • RonW says

      Mar 26, 2016 at 9:53 pm

      Well, yeah, but I’m just sick of hearing about muslims. Period.

      But with a sigh I read JW, and BCF and Vlad, and GoV, just so I don’t forget to not forget.

      I just wish the 1.6 Bn of them would f… off to their 72 virginal grapes and leave the rest of us alone.

      PS, for muslim men reading, what kind of micro-penis would you have to have to be able to f… a grape?? 🙂

    I think the Belgian Interior Minister needs to resign immediately as his very name reeks of Islamophobia and the deliberate insult can only further inflame tensions. Jambon is the French word for ham.

    • David M says

      Mar 24, 2016 at 11:11 pm

      He offered his resignation and the Belgian Prime Minister has rejected it!

    Anyone who says the Brussel’s attack has nothing to do with Islam is mad and dangerous. It;s just like claiming that the SS atrocities in WW2 had nothing to do with Nazism. Muslims and all their tacit supporters and the politically correct need to get real and honest if this violence is ever to end.

      [moonbat lunacy on]

      What about Tim McVeigh, the guy who shot the abortion doctor in KC, Roof, and a half dozen random crazy people, huh? That’s exactly the same as a global jihad conquering territory, killing tens of thousands annually, countless terror attacks, and countless more foiled attacks all by people with a shared religious viewpoint.

      [moonbat lunacy off]

      Seriously, they are still trying to make those ridiculous moral equivalency arguments, apparently utterly oblivious to the concepts of scale or motivation.

      • Sandra Lee Smith says

        Mar 25, 2016 at 3:49 am

        No, it’s NOT the same. They did not follow a religious system calling for the murder or forced conversion of the entire rest of humanity, any of them, let alone the overthrow of all governments to be replaced by a Sharia compliant caliphate:Muslims do. Also, nearly all of those were actually libs, and on psychotropic drugs that frequently cause violent outbursts.

      Mar 25, 2016 at 7:39 am

      Agreed – political correctness will prove to be the downfall of European civilisation, followed by the imposition of barbaric shari’a law…unless our politicos wake up!!

    Looks like the Script of Denial has started
    “His brother described him as “a nice boy — especially intelligent,” who read a lot ….. He described their family as a practicing Muslim household, but said he couldn’t say what put his brother on the path to violent extremism.” errrrr Islam maybe?

    The family Imam will, of course, do similar backstepping: never knew him, saw him occasionally, quiet boy always here, I tried to turn him from radicalization, (and then) he was upset because of : bombing Syria, Iraq, the Crusades, bullying at school…..

  10. John Johness says

    Mar 25, 2016 at 12:32 am

    The next part of the script. Show the Jihadis are just criminals , nothing to do with Islam
    NYT:” Ibrahim and Khalid el-Bakraoui: From Bank Robbers to Brussels Bombers”.

    Here are a few other script techniques
    1. Find a Muslim who was wounded by the bombs thereby showing that it has nothing to do with Islam. Or find one who was almost wounded and would have been if she was there at the time.
    2. Even better find a Muslim who helped people at the scene ( even if s/he didn’t – it can still look like it)
    3. Go into Islamiphobia overdrive ” Muslim woman insulted on Brussels’s bus” … “Muslim children mocked in playground”..
    4. Christian pastor/priest says it it time for understanding and forgiveness.

    Oh, how have we got to this monumental state of stupidity and cowardliness.

    “Six muslims” “Massive operation”

    Says it all – having these people in our midst and not being able to sort the good(ish) from the definitely bad is a huge waste of taxpayer resources that could be funding services.

    I’m for deporting the lot of them and only allowing back in those who will say under a lie detector

      Mar 25, 2016 at 5:19 am

      Spot on.Islam is fast approaching the time that a decision must be taken .It s adherents must be given the option.Renounce the evil intent of that creed or face deportation.We the British people demand no less.Why is it that the police in France and Belgium suddenly start arresting people after the event?Who are they fooling”

      • RonW says

        Mar 25, 2016 at 11:22 pm

        Actually the disagree-er is right. There’s really no way to tell, so it’d have to be that anyone who showed the slightest sign of belief in this mindless ‘religion’ should be deported forthwith. It’d have to be a one-time thing, though, as they’d quickly go underground.

        Personally I’m not against Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, or anyone from anywhere at all who isn’t Muslim, as long as they remain a small minority.

        • Angemon says

          Mar 26, 2016 at 9:00 pm

          Where do you suggest Belgium deports Belgian converts to?

        • RonW says

          Mar 26, 2016 at 9:57 pm

          Antarctica, with a beach towel? 🙂

          Don’t know, but surely actual Belgians who convert aren’t that many? I mean original Belgians, not imports or their children. Those people are only ‘Belgian’ insofar as they buy into Belgian culture.

          Holding camps and re-education for ‘real’ Belgians. Forced deportation to Morocco or wherever for the others. Dump them on the shores of North Africa.

    • DD says

      Mar 25, 2016 at 9:57 am

      Disagree. The adherents of this so-called “religion” will say anything, including agree to convert, then go right back to being a Muslim. If you can’t or won’t deport them, for whatever reason, then keep ’em the hell out. That’s if, of course, you want a country. And to keep alive.

  12. SpiritOf1683 says

    For over half a century, the West has been lecturing the Israelis over a subject it still knows no more than our cat about – Muslim terrorism and what drives it, even after atrocities like 9/11, 3/11, 7/7, Beslan, Paris, and now Brussels. Of course, that is far from an exhaustive list of atrocities carried out against the West, including Russia. How ironic that we are now having to walk a mile and more in Israel’s shoes and go through what the Israelis have had to go through for more than half a century, time which was spent lecturing them, thinking we knew best, and learning nothing. Compared with the Israelis, we are bungling amateurs at the start of a steep learning curve, and we saw that in Paris and now Brussels, and we’ll see it in plenty of other places before long. We are now having to learn in a handful of years what the Israelis have spent more than 50 years learning. Perhaps we should be taking lectures from them and learning a thing or two. The sum of our learning over the last 15 years since 9/11 doesn’t amount to very much thanks to political correctness, fear of offending muslims, and moral relativism. The only thing that has filled our heads is bullcrap, and those with bullcrap in their heads simply isn’t suited to survive the Jihad. If a terrorist bomb gets detonated in London or Manchester, the culprits won’t be called John or Jane or anything like that.

    How it´s done. Great Mosque of Brussels. Just a few steps from the EU Commission the executive of the EU. Seat of Islamic and Cultural Centre of Belgium. Oldest mosque in Belgium.
    1880 built in arabic style to form the Pavillon of the National Exhibition in Brussels.
    1967 King Baudoin lent the building to King Faisal ibn Abd al-Aziz of Saudi Arabia with a 99-year rent-free lease on an official visit to Belgium as part of negotiations to secure oil contracts.
    The building was turned into a building of worship to the use of Muslim immigrants at the time notably from Morocco and Turkey.
    Imams discouraged immigrants from integrating.
    1978 after long time restauration at the expense of Saudi Arabia and Tunisian architect Boubaker the mosque was inaugurated in the presence of King Khalid ibn Abd al-Aziz and King Baudoin.
    Tha mosque has a leading role as institution within the Belgium Islamic Community. Imams repeat the
    message islam is a religion of peace and has nothing to do with terrorism.

    Why was my comment not published.It only referee to police in the bombed airport now examining little old ladies hand bags!Is this site now being censored like the Daily mail comment section?

    • SpiritOf1683 says

      Mar 25, 2016 at 5:44 am

      Oh yes, searching the handbags of 80-year-old white Christan ladies is going to work mighty fine, whilst waving 25 year old Arabs through. No wonder we can’t stop these terrorists because we stupidly search in the wrong places to avoid upsetting Muslim sensibilities. These terrorists have spent the last 15 years or more laughing their heads off at our methods. The terminally stupid are very much in charge. When the IRA were bombing us, we didn’t suspect Caribbean blacks of being IRA members. We profiled, and there is only one demographic which is responsible for carrying out 99.9% of the terrorist atrocities against innocent people on this planet, and whilever these blockheads who are currently in charge of stopping terrorists remain in charge, the terrorists remain certain to succeed.

    • billybob says

      Mar 25, 2016 at 8:07 am

      Why are they examining little old ladies hand bags? To make them feel more secure. It is called “Security theatre”. The objective is to make you feel more secure. They they search you or your belongings, it has a personal impact. You are going to feel that security in action, and that translates to feeling more secure.

        The Israelis don’t waste precious time and resources. They profile. They know who is most likely to be a terrorist and work back from there. Nobody has so far managed to get a bomb on an El Al flight, and the Israeli authorities are pretty good at preventing this sort of thing. Of course, to profile is racism and biogotry in action, isn’t it billybob?

    There did not appear to be links “at this stage” between the plot foiled in France and the Paris or Brussels attacks,

    They still don’t get it. Muslims were involved and that seems to me to be a link.

    The politically correct fools in Europe do not allow raids after 9:00 P.M. and :7::00 A.M.This is like American students afraid of hearing any Trump or Cruz speeches because they may wet their panties like Ms. Shick in Missouri.Controlling the language means controlling he argument and is a step to Marxism which is the Democrats ultimate goal along with the media and colleges.Safe zones for bed wetters.
