We are at war? Do tell, Valls. With whom are we at war? “Violent extremists”? How do you propose to fight this war if you won’t acknowledge what the enemy ideology is, and keep importing into your country more people who adhere to that ideology? And when did this war start? This morning? Earlier? Last year, when the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists and patrons at the Hyper Cacher supermarket were murdered? Or earlier still? Maybe in the 630’s?
“‘We are at war,’ French leader says after Brussels attack,” Associated Press, March 22, 2016 (thanks to Darcy):
BRUSSELS — Explosions, at least one likely caused by a suicide bomber, rocked the Brussels airport and subway system Tuesday, prompting a lockdown of the Belgian capital and heightened security across Europe. At least 28 people were reported dead.
A spokesman for the Brussels Metro said 15 people were killed and 55 injured in an explosion on a train, and Belgian media reported at least 13 dead in two explosions at the airport, with many others injured.
Belgium raised its terror alert to the highest level, diverting planes and trains and ordering people to stay where they were. Airports across Europe immediately tightened security.
“We are at war,” French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said after a crisis meeting called by the French president. “We have been subjected for the last few months in Europe to acts of war.”
European security officials have been bracing for a major attack for weeks, and warned that the Islamic State group was actively preparing to strike. The arrest Friday of a key suspect in the November attacks in Paris heightened those fears, as investigators said many more people were involved than originally thought, and that some are still on the loose.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Tuesday’s attacks, and Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel said there was no immediate evidence linking key Paris suspect Salah Abdeslam to them. After his arrest Friday, Abdeslam told authorities he had created a new network and was planning new attacks.
Authorities told people in Brussels to stay where they were. Airport security was also tightened in Paris, London and other European cities….

Thank you Captain Obvious. What keen insight into current affairs the official has.
mortimer says
Reality has finally dawned. One doubts, however, that the European elites have bought copies of the Sira, hadiths and Koran and are feverishly pouring over them to find out ‘WHERE IS THIS HATE COMING FROM?’
Multi-cult is dead. The ‘religion-of-peace’ slogan is dead.
Islam is the religion of supremacism and world conquest.

mortimer says
Do what?
Intelligence agencies need to create protocols to completely deprogram all jihadists out of Islam.
TH says
Impossible. All muslims are potential jihadis, espeically if they know what the Qur’an teaches and they take it seriously. If some of them don’t do they killing, they want the sharia imposed on the rest of us.
ninetyninepct says
Deprogramming protocols are just politically correct words for bullets. We heard this “at war” bullsht after the last attacks and still don’t have body count. What should we expect next as a political reaction – more and bigger signs, more flowers, more red lines in the sand, more parkas?
It is getting very very close to the point where we are going to start to take care of our own safety and removing the IS problem ourselves. Governments and politicians are obviously incapable or unwilling.

Is this gent. a vampire that has just awaken, thus it seems to be the reaction in many parts of Europe, Canada UK, the US and Australia.
This peaceful thing you classify as a religion is entering another phase of the consolidation process, and Donald Trump seems to be great only voice expressing it openly from a political spectrum.
The continued conquest of a goal towards a global Sharia is embarking the last phase in conquering all of Europe, the next is to test the power of government officials and how the army can be overtaken.
This phase of course, would lock down government and eventually suspend it from usual operations, then next the seizing of strategic government and media post to began the propoganda machine which ransom is the hostages phase which can stave off the full power of the military while civilians are caught in the middle.
The truth is that the government officials in many countries are not keen or studied on the global history of Islam; unfortunately, defence instead of education has to be the game plan.

Oh, he will say that we are at war with Islamic State, and we know where they are and we will bomb them.
But he does not dare to ask who the internal enemies are. And who might be prone to join them and therefore who are less trustworthy than other citizens.
He will continue to propagate something like: Islamic State is not Islamic. Because there is some sort of mysterious, yet surely beneficial, neutral, harmless one true version of Islam”.
When pressured he will say; even if there ARE Islamic terrorists, don’t paint Muslims all with the same brush”, there are many different kinds of Muslims!
But he himself won’t stop with “painting all Muslims with a white brush” and he won’t draw the conclusion that difference among Muslims also means
that Muslims sooner or later should be forced to choose, FOR our democratic system and nations, and against Theocratic ideology, countries and groups. He will continue in (t)his dereliction of duty in this way.
Jerry says
This is what islam’s leftist allies are defending when they say it’s a religion of peace, senseless slaughter of innocents. Islam is NOT peaceful, it unabashedly teaches jihad hate and murder against non-believers. It’s tantamount to a declaration of war against all non-muslims, political aggression with some religious fantasy thrown in. These suicide bombers don’t kill because they are crazy or confused, they kill because they are dedicated to the idea that muslims have a divine duty to conquer the world for allah. Hell, they’d be insulted if we suggested anything less! These religious fanatics have never gone out of their way to hide their motives, and when the “moderates” are polled they shock the rest of us by agreeing with those hateful motives. The majority prefer islam’s oppressive and degenerate legal system with all its barbarities over western democracy and human rights, totally in line with the terrorists’ agenda. This kind of fanaticism for bigotry and ignorance rarely bears good fruit.
More muslims = more violence and less freedom.
It shouldn’t be denied, islam is a thriving ideology with clear intentions of destroying all other forms of governance and religion for its own sake. And a muslim majority are living and supporting that evil creed on all levels, murdering, rioting, threatening, “enclaving,” declaring themselves and their hateful religion as superior to all else. PUKE! Anyone that defends such warlike intentions brands their self an ally of islamic aggression and enemies of peaceful humanity, because that’s what they are! Time for some new leaders who love human rights and freedom over islam’s warlike aggression. Time to rid ourselves of islam and those that support it.
Jerry says
I’m on a train of thought, so let me sound off a little more.
When I think of Hitler’s Nazism I know the basis for their crimes against humanity went deeper than the crimes themselves. It was an ideology of race superiority and hatred that gave life to those evils. I compare it to islam, no less hateful and violent, and no less dedicated to supremacy over others. And when I think of those Germans that raised their hands in salute to that crazed Nazi I have no doubt where their loyalties lay. I feel no need to ponder other factors that might have mitigated their allegiance. Because when it comes to murder and war, in “a little” is in “all the way.” That’s how I feel about muslims who live according to the religion of muhammad and allah. Their intentions are implicit in their allegiance to these characters’ teachings and example; in a little, in all the way.
Every muslim and leftist that defends that religion with lies is like a strand in the rope that wants to hang us. No one strand on its own can do the job, but collectively they can achieve their supremacist agenda. If you are a strand in the rope, then you are for the rope. We know that a majority of muslims are for the rope, they tell us so. In a little, in all the way.
Time to cut that rope. It’s not right to let the innocent hang for any religion or god. It has no basis in morality or love of humanity, whatsoever.

That dream is over for me. Europe has become a stink pot of islamic hate, a safe haven for jihadists, muslim pedophiles, and hijrah invaders. It would be like going to a party where half the unwanted guests want to kill or dominate the other half. Thanks, but I think I’ll stay in my infidel home. The world is far too dangerous and tense for me to want to explore. Or to put it another way, the world is becoming far too islamic.

No kidding. My wife and I planned a trip to UK & Paris last June, before all this broke loose. It was to be for two weeks, but we’ve canceled the Paris portion, and cut it back to one week, half in London, the other half in Ireland.

Demsci says
Against the opinions of many, but supported by the opinions of even more people, like Daniel Pipes, Ryan Mauro of Clarion Project, I still believe that there is “Substantial difference among Muslims, due to different interpretations of the core-texts of Islam”.
In that context I see some kind of 3-part-division among Muslims in the West.
1. some big neutral mass, peaceful, presumed innocent until proven guilty by our majority. But not prepared to choose sides against other Muslims but plenty against divers non-Muslims.
2. The even worse negative deviation of that neutral mass: namely the openly supremacist, hostile, violent Muslims.
This division among Muslims is very mainstream opinion,
but this opinion competes with the one that says that the only peaceful Moslims are the ones that do NOT know or practice their own religion.
But I see the possibility of a Positive Exception. And not just because of good will among Muslims, but also because when pressured Muslima’s enjoy freedom and democracy, and they and Muslims want to have career,
but most of all: They prophit from Democratic nations with education, care for their elderly people and sick people, and unemployed BIG TIME. And when pressured will not want to throw that away.
And so, if phony Manuel Valls means what he says he will advocate to withdraw all support that can be withdrawn from all those “neutral Muslims”
and will start accepting only “Muslims and Mosques who positively and fully and under scrutiny will choose FOR democratic system and nation”.
Let him damn the “neutral Muslims”, by now far too much discredited, not only bomb the so-called “”radicals”.
That will, as a first step, force more Muslims to at least CHOOSE.
mortimer says
Demsci wrote: “three part division”
The three parts are as follows: 15% support terror groups, 50% support a caliphate and Sharia, but not terror, 35% do not support Sharia or a caliphate.
There is no group of Muslims that is not loyal to the Ummah. Even the apostates have a knee-jerk loyalty to the Ummah that is similar to Germans who were not Nazis or believe in Nazism, but fought ‘for their country’ in the mistaken belief that the Nazis were not a criminal conspiracy, but a legitimate government.
Islam is not legitimate government, because it depends on vigilantism to maintain it.
Demsci says
Check Mortimer, I know you know a lot and I learn from you.
But I am forever talking about OUR PEOPLE, but forever it seems to come out as if I speak of the Muslims. sorry.
I have listened and agreed, but do you UNDERSTAND my point? Because I keep getting back responses as if I talk of Muslims and Islam, but I am talking about OUR PEOPLE in response to Muslims.
OUR MAJORITY, OUR SWINGVOTERS BLOCK US. And they do that because:
– They will never ever accept our “Painting Muslims with the same brush”, so they also will never accept the idea “that ALL Islam is ONLY bad for democracy and our safety”. SOME Muslims are bad and part of Islam is doubtful, but they find all your evidence very good but
never enough to generalise, stereotype or make sweeping statements about Islam and Muslims.
2. They keep implying that THE ONLY TRUE ISLAM is NOT TO BLAME. It must mean to them that Islam is something that is “mysterious” “much like Christianity”, but NOT exceptionally supremacist, hostile to non-Muslims, rather nice and neutral.
This is their very dangerous misunderstanding or lie. It does not allow to see Islam as dangerously vague and massively interpreted in a very bad way.
Asking from POLITICAL CORRECTS to identify a Positive Exception among the Muslims, by asking the Muslims to choose, opens the possibility to put much more pressure on the now very hypocritical majority of Muslims in the West. And the possibility to put high pressure on the neutral Muslim by OUR MAJORITY.
Please react with your opinion about “Our majority, and the Political corrects” and them putting pressure on Muslims, not with your opinion about the attitude and reaction of Muslims, which I did NOT express an opinion about.

The good thing about all this (and this IS NOT GOOD) is that if we wake up in time, there is still time left to fix things. It’s the silent population bomb and loosing control of our own societies, or a population high enough to tear things apart in civil war ala Lebanon that will doom us. Getting smart, NOW, could really actually help .
Christine says
What I do know is this. Being a feminist and a western woman, I will gladly march to my death and use the western world’s s entire arsenal of nuclear weapons before I surrender to Islam. Tyranny and patriarchy are intolerable. Islam should think twice before starting this war – they WON”T win it..
خَليفة says
The solution is simple, pragmatic. To destroy Islam you must eliminate the possibility of Muslims attaining or completing the 5 pillars of Islam. There is only one that can be physically destroyed. Drop a 20 kilo ton atomic bomb on Mecca, obliterating the Kabbah ( cube ) along with the stones the Muslims kiss ( just like the pagans did ). This would leave the area radioactive and unsafe to inhabitable for decades. This will also kill a lot of people. The pragmatic trade off is that by killing innocent Muslims by nuking Mecca the kuffar can prevent Muslims from killing innocent kuffar. Innocent people will continue to be killed, raped, enslaved, tortured, beheaded, be exposed to Jonas mass killings and/or live in fear if nothing is done. And this is not to mention all the captive Muslims who would rather not be Muslims and themselves live in fear. Nuking Mecca would be doing the world a favor. Muslims believe Allah will protect the kabbah, proving to them that Allah is a false god and cannot protect the kabbah will go a long way to disenfranchising Muslims from Islam. When removing cancer cells the surgeon will remove a portion of healthy cells to ensure all the cancerous one are removed – to the benefit of the patient. In the case of Islam, one can also argue that all Muslims contribute to the Islamic violence directly or indirectly – it is known that Islamic charity only helps Muslims and is often directed to terror organizations.
Destroy Mecca and Islam will be destroyed.

It’s not “war” if only one side is doing the fighting. It’s called genocide. And in this case, brought on by the cultural suicide of post-Christian Europe which began decades ago. Until we all wake up and realize Islam itself, in all its forms must be completely eradicated from existence, Islam will continue to spread like cancer and claim many, if not all, lives in its way. So far we have not shown the resolve nor wisdom to repel the barbarians as Charles Martel did at Tours in 732 or in 1483 at the Gates of Vienna.

First let me say that I agree with you and the most appropriate time for the bombing would be the first day of the next Ramadan!!! BUT,,, I had this discussion with a very well educated American Muslim and he brought up a very interesting point… “When the Kabbah is vaporized it will rise as part of a radioactive cloud eventually blanketing the earth thus spreading the faith of Islam everywhere”… It would seem that such an act has already been considered by the Muslim hierarchy and they are already prepared with this response…
