“The Muslim community feels really under siege.” This is the kind of thing the learned analysts say after Muslims commit a series of mass murders: if you learn to look at things the right way, you see, it is really the perpetrators who are the victims.
“Discrimination against Muslims in neighborhoods like Molenbeek and Schaerbeek worsens.” Really? Here is a dose of reality courtesy of Leon De Winter: “Compared to average living standards in Morocco or Egypt, the average living standard in Molenbeek is comfortably middle-class. Like in any other Western European country, many Belgian institutions and organizations offer support when families need housing, food, education, and health care. Opportunities for success, and to study and become a respected member in society, are countless compared to those that exist in many immigrants’ countries of origin. Still, there is deep resentment among the younger generations of immigrant Moroccan families.”
And even if Muslims from Molenbeek and Schaerbeek did face discrimination and disenfranchisement, those are not the causes of terrorism. The New York Times reported in March that “not long after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001…Alan B. Krueger, the Princeton economist, tested the widespread assumption that poverty was a key factor in the making of a terrorist. Mr. Krueger’s analysis of economic figures, polls, and data on suicide bombers and hate groups found no link between economic distress and terrorism.”
CNS News noted in September 2013 that “according to a Rand Corporation report on counterterrorism, prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2009, ‘Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated, or afflicted by mental disease. Demographically, their most important characteristic is normalcy (within their environment). Terrorist leaders actually tend to come from relatively privileged backgrounds.’ One of the authors of the RAND report, Darcy Noricks, also found that according to a number of academic studies, ‘Terrorists turn out to be more rather than less educated than the general population.’”
“What role does Islamophobia play in terror attacks?,” by Christina Capatides, CBS News, April 8, 2016:
Days after the deadly Brussels attacks, which killed 32 people at the city’s airport and a metro station, right-wing demonstrators appeared at a memorial to denounce the country’s Muslim community. A week later, police had to intervene when similar right-wing protesters squared off against anti-racism demonstrators. The confrontations underscore an important, though perhaps uncomfortable, question: to what extent does Islamophobia contribute to the atmosphere of isolation that breeds violent radicals?
“When you have no life objectives, no long-term objectives, you try to find your quest for self elsewhere,” explains Tewfik Sahih, a lifelong resident of Schaerbeek, Brussels, the neighborhood in which the bombs used in the Paris and Brussels attacks were made. “Many people feel discriminated [against] here. Some citizens here don’t feel part of the national community.”
Experts tell CBSN that many of Belgium’s disenfranchised Muslims feel more loyalty to their nuclear communities than their country. So, even if they don’t necessarily agree with how certain members of their neighborhood or mosque choose to lash out, they might not be inclined to report those people to the authorities either.
“The mafia protects itself. Hooligans with soccer clubs don’t betray themselves as well. It’s very much a group mentality where you don’t betray,” explains Michael Privot, director of the European Network Against Racism. “The Muslim community feels really under siege. They are victims themselves of hate crimes. So, if you want to really help them make the change from within … you have to give them breathing space … open space for them to build a future.”
As it currently stands, most Moroccan and Turkish immigrants live in what is known as the “poor croissant” of Brussels. And the conditions in those neighborhoods offer little hope for social or economic success.
“In Molenbeek, one young person of Moroccan background out of two is unemployed. One family of Moroccan origin [out of two] is below the poverty line. You see, it’s dire,” says Privot. “Schools are ghettoized. … You have a whole generation of youngsters, aged 15 to 25, that have no skills because they didn’t receive proper support. Not from parents and not from the state. Those young guys are living in Brussels, which is one of the most competitive cities [in the world], but without skills to find a job in their own city.”
The actions of the few then spawn a vicious cycle for the many, according to Privot. The societal factors that contributed to the radicalization of the Brussels and Paris attackers are heightened by the fact that they executed attacks. Discrimination against Muslims in neighborhoods like Molenbeek and Schaerbeek worsens. It becomes even harder for members of those struggling communities to find jobs. And perhaps worst of all, it excludes them even further from the Belgian mainstream.
“There is an increase in polarization within the majority community, and a sense of exasperation towards Muslims,” Privot said in the aftermath of the March 22 attacks on a Brussels airport and metro station.
“This is really in the mainstream. It’s the man and woman on the street who decides to take justice in their hands and insult someone. … A few months back, people would not resort to insults. Now, people do resort to racists slurs. You really see and feel the tensions within the society. So, this is one more nail in the coffin of social cohesion.”…

Ah, yes — another in the endless series of privilege-guilt, multicultural weepy epistles, getting right to the heart of why so many Muslims feel so lousy.
Written by nice Western-values “journalist”, who is of course scared to death of actually OPENING UP THE QUR’AN AND READING IT.
I will be back in a few minutes with hotlinks to a couple of superb items containing FACTS, NOT WISHFUL THINKING — for those of you who have not read them previously.
jihad3tracker says
Here is one — “The Quran’s last word on non-Muslims”:
http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2010/09/qurans-last-word-on-non-muslims.html
Note the article mentioning a link to the CHRONOLOGICAL sequence of the Quran’s contents — very important to understand how crucial are the verses contained in Taubah (Ultimatum) also known as Chapter Nine.
jihad3tracker says
Here is the second — “The Terrifying Brilliance of Islam”:
http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2009/05/terrifying-brilliance-of-islam.html
This discusses at length why Muhammad was a master of psychology — getting his own personal agenda, conquering the people of Arabia, successfully accomplished.
Xero_G says
Agreed. “The Terrifying Brilliance of Islam” is a classic – should have a permanent link here on JW. It’s one of the first links (besides JihadWatch.org) I will give to my clueless friends when they express a desire to learn about the true nature of Islam/jihad.

sob–sob-blub–blub. Oh how my heart bleeds for these poor discriminated against Muslims and how they suffer in Europe.
Funny thing though, I don´t see any of these scum going back to their Islamic paradises. If life is so tough GO HOME.
Even funnier, you don´t find Hindus, Sikhs, Jews and Buddhists whining and complaining about little hope for social or economic success.
Perhaps the lack of success of these Muslims is because they pig ignorant, lazy, useless pieces of shyte who are incapable of something called HARD WORK.
abad says
That’s because they put their Islam above any work ethic.
Last I checked though there is not anything in the Quran that stresses a work ethic.
DFD says
Charli Main says: “…Funny thing though, I don´t see any of these scum going back to their Islamic paradises…”
Charli dear fellow,
You are asking far too much. For us westerners it is way to expensive, for the time being, to do something as simple as to go to other planets. And you are asking the Muslims to go to an alternative universe? Even for those magnificent people, with all the scientific advances/inventions they made and those ‘golden ages’ {(have to take a break, my stomach vibrates and my face is going to pieces – but I’m not rolling on the floor with laughter) right, I’m back}, even they could not manage to go to another, alternative universe.
Well, where else could be the ‘Islamic paradises’ you referred to?

Is Sweden generous, naive or in the hands of terrorists?
Allowing immigrants without any ID to work in all state authority 2016-2018.
Some 1, 000 without an ID in 203 authorities. Accompanied by an instructor. Which limits the number of those without an ID according to the Government and the Riksdag (Parliament).
Sweden also wants good cooperation between the Scandinavian countries and that other countries in Europe will accept more so called refugees without IDs or with like Sweden.
It’s being called The Swedish Model.

DFD says
The mistake was *not* made by the Crusaders. It was the *fault* of the western governments NOT to support them, and not to support them *fully*. We had a large operational base there, that could have been reinforced from sea and land, and then expanded.
The mistake was repeated later when the Byzantines required military help. The then reigning Emperor and Pope rather saw a spiritual and political competitor fall to the Muslims – damn their fellow Christians. That bit of ‘cunning’ did cost the west dearly – the scum marched right up to the Gates of Vienna, where they were stopped and driven back by a coalition of the holy (?) Roman Empire, The Poles and the Baltic states, under the command of a Polish general, Sobietsky.
That’s one of the reasons, or rather the main reason, why I am so annoyed when I read some American posters writing off Europe, or even gloating over the current misfortune, declaring ‘they deserve it’.
Fortunately there are only few of these, at least on this website. TAKE HEED FROM HISTORY: If we let ourselves to be divided, we will become a gigantic Yathrib/Medina, and the later Constantinople – and we will end like such.
Again and again: United we stand, divided we fall! What or why do you think ‘diversity’ is so heavily propagated and promoted by the entire left, without the smallest gap between them? Diversity means division, it means a house divided.

Hello DFD — Being quite knowledgeable about that slice of history, you might already be familiar with one of our superb American counter-jihad experts, Dr. Bill Warner in Tennessee, who created www [dot] politicalislam [dot] com.
Here is his own item on the Crusades, including what he calls a “dynamic battle map” — to more easily, in a pictorial way — understand the relative degrees of aggression by Muslims versus Christians.
https://www.politicalislam.com/jihad-vs-crusades/
Viewing this is highly recommended for those clueless persons in our lives who just cannot get over the false idea that civilizations in the West were equally reprehensible to Islam’s agenda of conquest via devout actualization of the Hijra and Jihad.
DFD says
Thank you for the link, I am indeed aware of his site, which I value highly. As I value the man and his work.
I have downloaded a lot of his videos, particularly the 1,400 year one, and “distribute these”. Which means I leave CD’s or DVD’s at opportune places. No more than 4 videos max! Some may fall on good, fertile grounds. They don’t require any comment, just titling. I refrain from explanations and pointers, so no one feels directed. But people like to watch, easier than reading.
I also include these two:

“The mistake was *not* made by the Crusaders. It was the *fault* of the western governments NOT to support them, and not to support them *fully*.
I was going to post, that you are more correct than you might realise.
However, I suspect that you are pretty much clued up on Crusader history. Throughout the 250 year long attempt, to liberate the Muslim occupied, Christian lands of the Middle East, the Italian maritime superpowers of Venice, Genoa and Pisa continued to trade with the Muslims.
The Italians supplied the Fatimids and later Ayyubid sultans of Egypt with weapons, metal, timber and Caucasian child slaves who were converted to Islam and trained to fight the Crusaders in the Levant
Of course, the Venetians were also the driving force in the destruction of Constantinople, by Latin Armies, in 1204, allowing the Seljuk Turks to gain an unbreakable hold of Christian Anatolia.
.
Angemon says
The Crusaders’ goal was not to conquer the Middle East or kill all muslims, it was to take back Christian holy sites from the hands of muslim rule.
DFD says
Angemon says: “….The Crusaders’ goal was not to conquer the Middle East…”
You are correct, and I never stated otherwise.
What I said and repeat is this: Later they called again and again for help – which was repeatedly denied. Or promised but not forthcoming. Thus, the area held was gradually lost.
Not only that, but, as I said, a golden opportunity was lost to defeat Islam, and to liberate territories grabbed by Islam. In addition, the Crusaders (the majority of which were honorable men, and not crooks or opportunists) were either outright betrayed; Or practically betrayed by the west, which preferred not to lose its business dealings.
And the same happened later with Byzantium. A betrayal of a Christian nation and Christendom, and (eastern) European civilization.
Within the long term consequences, that means **up to today and the foreseeable future, we suffer from these consequences**.
In this context, that is to say what I stated above, the initial or original and historical objective of the Crusades is for practical, that is current, purposes irrelevant.
Wellington says
I agree with you, DFD, that any gloating is pathetic. Criticism of Europe’s elites? Certainly (America’s elites too). But gloating is both childish and stupid.
BTW, as you might know, when King Jan Sobieski of Poland in 1683 came to the rescue of the Austrians and successfully fought back the Ottoman attempt to take Vienna, the date was September 11th. This is why that date was chosen back in 2001 by the Islamic monsters who perpetrated that barbaric act on that extremely tragic day in American history.
Muslims have long memories, but such memory is used for ill, not for good. Thus is the way of what I have termed, “Muslimthink.” Hope you and yours are doing well in this increasingly upside-down world.
DFD says
To Wellington:
Thank you for interesting and informative reply, and your good wishes for us.
The matching dates of Vienna and New York did not occur to me. I have to admit.
I “demoted” King Jan Sobieski of Poland for a number of reasons: Firstly he was not only in charge of the Polish forces, but of the forces of the entire ‘Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth’ also known as the ‘Holy league’. A large territory consisting of several nations and principalities.
He was also given command of the forces of the ‘Holy Roman Empire of German Nations’. Though, there were other nations and principalities in there as well. (…my, weren’t they all holy… 🙂 ) Quite a coalition. Hence I “demoted” him to general, though he was of course king of Poland; but he was also the most senior military man with the highest battle experience. I read many years ago that he also had direct, personal combat experience on battlefields.
What is remarkable, and will hopefully be copied in the future, was and is, that the nations, principalities and fiefdoms came together, agreed on a command structure, a common, supreme commander (even though he was the king of one of the allies concerned) and got the job done. None of them would have been able to do that by themselves.
Although outnumbered approximately 1.5:1, estimates vary, the allied forces won.
Here, two things are noteworthy:
The war between the west, Holy Roman Empire i.e. Austrian Habsburgs, and the Muslims in that geographic region was already raging for nearly 300 years, on & off. Given the “sleepiness” of the west currently, that does not bode well. Particularly since the current western leaders are either overwhelmed by the recent events, helpless, or cooperate with the enemy – and even promote the enemy, as done by Obama & Merkel.
One should note in this context that other western powers, notably France, Italy and Spain acted as ‘onlookers’. Not even sending token forces. But the eastern Europeans realized the dangers and allied with the west, Roman/German that is. **Extremely eerie if one looks at today’s situation and the upcoming civil war(s) which will culminate.**
Encouraging however, is that once they managed to defeat the enemy, the Muslims, they – the Habsburgs – pressed on; consequently they achieved the liberation of Hungary and Transylvania (Romania).
Comparing this with today’s situation, we have few western leaders who seem to be capable of dealing with the situation as were the Habsburgs and the Polish kings. What do we have? Victor Orban and the Polish government. Both are in power, but their significance is not very high. Though Mr. Orban gains more and more recognition, and thus following, in the west. Then there are two leaders of note, namely Mrs. Frauke Petry of the Afd (that party is only 3 years old) in Germany, and Mr. Gert Wilders of the Netherlands. Both receiving death threats and are under guard. The Afd will decide on the 30th of April if Islam will be their main issue, that is teaching and propagating against Islam, and making anti-Islam its primary election issue. LePen? Hmh… She’s not anti-Islam, but actually courting Muslim votes. Britain? We have a couple of hopefuls, but their parties aren’t even represented in the House of Commons, Parliament that is. In the east, Putin, who has his own agenda. Several Muslim countries are now in ‘his Russian commonwealth’, some are actually “Russian” and Moscow is the Muslim capital of Europe, not Brussels…
Further west, the USA. The best hopes (?), Trump and Cruz, there are fighting each other by any means, and are being fought against by their own party, the GOP. And worse, I just read in the Sunday Telegraph that Barbara Bush is now supporting Hillary Clinton! Exclamation mark appropriate, I think.
Can we get, at this point in time and the foreseeable future, a coalition together akin to the ‘Holy Roman Empire of German Nations’ and the ‘Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth’ (Holy league)? That is to say between the equivalence of the modern, major western powers. I doubt it. It’ll require a massive blow-up, way beyond civil unrest, to get things going. That of course includes regime change in the major western powers, from the US, far west, to Germany, east. I am ignoring in this context Spain, Italy and even France; perhaps Britain too.
Given your knowledge of history, and particularly of the US-civil war, your views would be most interesting to learn.
Regards
Wellington says
Thanks for your reply, DFD. Above all what is necessary is to properly identify the enemy. Can’t prevail if the enemy is not accurately characterized and the enemy is Islam——all of it. Not there yet. I prefer getting there sooner rather than later.
As for the current crop of Western elites, with few exceptions (for instance, Geert Wilders whom you mentioned) they are anywhere from clueless to complicit. A whole new set of elites are needed in the political realm, the media and academia since the current bunch are presently undermining the West big time with their continued excuse making for (and willful ignorance of) Islam.
gravenimage says
Very true, DFD–and good comments from many other posters above. I remember when I first really began studying the Crusades in earnest, how dismayed I was about Christendom shooting herself in the foot over and over again.
Most egregious of all, of course, was most of Western Europe’s abandonment of Byzantium. Certainly, the sacking of Constantinople by what was supposed to be the Fourth Crusade weakened her immeasurably, and may well have contributed to her falling to the Muslim hordes in 1453.
As disturbing as all this is, I believe it has a lesson for us today.
As Wellington notes, gloating at other Western nations’ missteps and dhimmitude is both ugly and ultimately self defeating.
I don’t want to see *any* of the West fall to Islam–I don’t want to see the suffering of my fellow Infidels, and I don’t want to see Islam emboldened.
I stand with all of the free West–in fact, with all of Dar-al-Harb. So should we all.

The only explanation for such uninformed comments about Islam by Western journalists and elites is that they are being bribed with Arabian slush fund monies tucked into secret Panamanian accounts. They are disgusting sell-outs.
It is preposterous to imply that suspicion of Muslims leads to jihadism when the Salafist-Wahhabist ideology predates the 2016 Brussels attacks by about 300 years!!
In the 18th Century, theologian Sheikh Muhammad Bin Wahab was a religious leader who was adopted by the tribal leaders who later became the Saudi Royal Family. His ideas, which are a revival of the general principles of the Hanbali mahab (school) of Sharia (i.e. Muslim law) jurisprudence, hold that sharia law is based exclusively on the Koran and the Haddith (i.e. sayings of the prophet Mohamet). These ideas are commonly referred to as Wahabbism, although a more accurate description would be Salafism (following the path of the pioneers). Wahabbism is in turn based on the writings of Ibn Taymiyyah, a medieval theologian. (The Salafites and Wahhabists give Ibn Taymiyya’s word a near equivalence of the Koran and the hadiths.)
In the mid-18th Century, the Saud family launched a jihad, inspired by Wahab, to conquer the whole Arabian Peninsula. They declared that any of their fellow Sunni Muslims (and the many Shi’ites in the region) who did not adhere to Wahabbism were in fact infidels, and should be killed. They would send a messenger into townships carrying a Koran in one hand, and a sword in the other.
The choices were clear: ‘the Book or the Blade’ – either surrender to the Saud family and become Wahabbis, or be put to death as infidels.
The success of Wahhabism is represented on the Saudi flag today – the sword and Koranic verses in the middle – a very uncompromising message: Book or Blade.
Essentially, this is (to put it mildly) a very conservative and assure interpretation of Islam, such that anything not expressly permitted under Sharia is forbidden, and one which places a great deal of emphasis on some of the less appealing aspects of Islam
ISIS is a direct descendant of Saudi Wahhabism.
Journalists and Western elites have no excuse for not knowing it, because the information is freely available on the Internet via google.

This says it all: John Swinton about the press
“There is no such thing, at this date of the world’s history, in America, as an independent press. You know it and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to write your honest opinions, and if you did, you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid weekly for keeping my honest opinion out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for similar things, and any of you who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the streets looking for another job. If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone.
The business of the journalist is to destroy the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. You know it and I know it, and what folly is this toasting an independent press?
We are the tools and vessels of rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.”

Islamic logic is so utterly stupid, funny and dangerous.
Let’s see how stupid Islamic logic is by making a few substitutions:
* IF islamophobia causes Muslims to be violent.
* THEN Leukophobia caused Europeans to enslave Africans.
* AND Kafirmisia causes non-Muslims to attack Muslims. ( but this does not happen )
Muslims do not have a proper sense of cause and effect, nor do they have any sense of personal responsibility nor any sense of self control.
Islam tells us that when you bring a piece of cotton to a flame, it’s not the flame that causes the cotton to be consumed and burnt, but that Allah sends an angel which causes the cotton to consumed. But this means that if Allah did not want it to happen he would not send the angel and the cotton would not burn. Not all Muslims believe this, but Nonetheless, this is what Islam dictates, and therefore it is what is “true” under Islamic ideology. Just like the world being flat and the sun orbiting the earth – the “truth” according to Islam.
I wonder if Allah sends hundreds of thousands of angels to my car when I’m cruising down the highway at 3000 RMP to ignite the petrol each time a cylinder needs to fire. Maybe he just sends one angle who stays in the engine and plays it like a very very fast xylophone until I turn off the ignition – that must be a boring job for an angel.
billybob says
When you’re cruising down the highway at 3000 RMP it is Maxwell’s demon who ignites the petrol each time a cylinder needs to fire…
In the philosophy of thermal and statistical physics, Maxwell’s demon is a thought experiment created by the physicist James Clerk Maxwell in which he suggested how the Second Law of Thermodynamics could hypothetically be violated. In the thought experiment, a demon controls a small door between two chambers of gas. As individual gas molecules approach the door, the demon quickly opens and shuts the door so that fast molecules pass into the other chamber, while slow molecules remain in the first chamber. Because faster molecules are hotter, the demon’s behavior causes one chamber to warm up as the other cools, thus decreasing entropy and violating the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
خَليفة says
Thanks for mentioning Maxwell’s demon. I had not heard of it, but am interested in such things.
I’m sure that’s what keeps my engine working….. Hahahaha
Western Canadian says
Except the entropy in the chamber exited by the hotter elements, would be cooling at a more rapid pace… and the entropy between the two of them would remain in balance,
And lighting a fire reduces entropy for a short time in the short distance surrounding the fire, but the ‘whole system’ still is losing energy…
Champ says
“Islamophobia” triggers jihad terror attacks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Adding another layer of lies & deceit on the already fake concept of “islamophobia.”
Islamophobia is a fake concept, since there is no anti-muslim backlash; and it is a nonsense term because “phobia” is an “irrational fear.”
It’s not “phobic” to be worried about islam. It is completely rational–given that since 9/11 there have been countless terrorist attacks in the name of islam.
Americans have merely been propagandized with the islamophobia narrative. It is nothing more than propaganda.

Citation needed. How do we know the people in question were “right wing”? Also, why shouldn’t the muslim community be denounced when they actively covered and sheltered assassins. Finally, why are the actions of muslims crying for “Palestine” and taking down Israeli flags not mentioned when they clearly add as much to the story as the mention of alleged “right-wingers”?
Oh, the loaded language. “Right-wing” protesters squared off against “anti-racism” protesters? So many question caused by dubious, fuzzy information. How do we know they were “right-wingers” and “anti-racists”? People who protest against quotas for minorities are, by definition, anti-racists. They’re also presented as “right-wingers”. Was this a case of right-wingers against right-wingers?
And a sleight-of-hand: from implied and alleged racism to islamophobia.
And I’m sure Tewfik Sahih is an unbiased, impartial source. Sure, he doesn’t explain why hundreds of million, if not billion, of people worldwide with no life objectives aren’t going jihadi like the muslims, but I’m sure he’s impartial, unbiased and knowledgeable.
Made by whom?
Why is that? Is it that Belgians are snobby, arrogant people who discriminate against, apparently, muslims and muslims alone, or is it because muslims have no interest in mingling in a kuffar community and be a part of a kuffar nation?
The implication that flew under CBS’s whitewashing machine is that their nuclear communities and their country are mutually exclusive.
Exactly. Because they’re part of their community and they won’t hand them over to the kuffar.
Neither the Mafia nor hooligans ever flew planes into buildings as a mean to terrorize and attack non-Mafiosos or non-hooligans. Mafiosos are loyal to their family alone. Soccer hooligans are loyal to their club alone.
Many people are victims of hate-crimes. It’s only muslims that go around killing people (more specifically, non-muslims) and justifying on their religion.
Gays were discriminated against and victims of hate crimes for decades. San Francisco was never, ever, the Mecca of suicide bombers and spree killers – that has always been Mecca.
That reminds me, how did the “Arab Spring” turn out?
Why, then, don’t they return to their homeland? Could it be because they have it better in the “poor croissant” than in their homeland?
Why is that? Is it because the Belgians discriminate against them or is it because they want nothing to do with Belgians? You know, back when there was no welfare state to speak of, migrants had to mingle with the locals and learn the language if they wanted to work for a living. Which they had to.
There’s plenty of people worldwide living below the poverty line. If one were to go by your logic, the whole of South America should be ridden with Paris and Brussels style attacks.

Not their city, according to Tewifik Sahih.
Why? Are they being forced into it?
Such as? Oh, you mean that hogwash about poverty and disenfranchisement? Maybe they wouldn’t be disenfranchised if teir religion didn’t teach, for example, that muslims are the best of people and non-muslims are the worst of people, and that anyone who is friends with non-muslims is as if they were non-muslims themselves.
What, should the attacks be ignored? Should Belgians pretend they never happened?
Citation needed.
Citation needed.
Citation needed.
The logic behind those claims is this: muslims are unemployed, therefore, the fault of that lies with the Belgians discriminating them.
Why shouldn’t there be when we know that the community sheltered murderers?
Oh, the poor, innocent things – someone somewhere called a muslim a “racist” slur (which is probably a crime under Belgium’s anti-racist laws), therefore the attacks in Brussels must take a backseat.
What “community cohesion”?
David says
It’s a common muslim tactic to always blame someone else for their own acts of rape, bloodshed and murder. It happens so often no one thinks twice about!
But everyone also knows that it’s just a huge LIE to.
IF muslims are having such a hard time in western countries I suggest they simply move back home. Where the camels and goats are roaming freely. Let them worship their satanic God in the desert where they belong.
Simple solution to a multifaceted problem.
let them stay there are worship satan all day long! Cause no sane person here is going to join their cult of lust and blood.

The Leftist Daily show has a long history of mocking Christianity but for Islam Jon Stuart would swoon and pucker-up.

CBS: “Islamophobia” triggers jihad terror attacks
………………………..
Now it’s not even defending against Jihad that causes Jihad–it’s just being concerned about Jihad that causes Jihad…sarc/off

“These cats are fighting terrorism”

How are they fighting terrorism? Someone put cute sunglasses on them…
Santa Voorhees says
I am sick of hearing that terror attacks are caused by islamophobia.
Islamophobia is a byproduct of islam itself.
Terror jihad attacks is what is making islamophobia soaring, not the other way around.
How one can even think that islamophobia is the root cause in the first place for terror attacks?
In other words, it is like being scared by muslims WITHOUT REASON, and that is what makes muslims attack us… that is so stupid.
Muslims are attacking us, and that is the reason the europeans are scared. Therefore we have islamophobia among the european population.
It is just as simple as that, why there are morons that cannot get it?
Jean Terry says
The leaders in many countries are morons for sure.
Baucent says
It’s a bit of a “chicken and the egg” situation. What came first, Islamic oppression of non muslims and terror attacks OR Islamophobia? Shallow thinkers like CBS would like us to believe Islamophobia came first and all the nasty stuff muslims do is in reaction to that. So, the logical solution for liberals is you must outlaw Islamophobia, lock up people who practice it (like Tommy Robinson) and hey presto…community cohesion is attained.
Shane says
The fact is that there is no such thing as Islamophobia, because a phobia is an irrational fear and it is not irrational for non-Muslims to fear Islamic Jihad because there are hundreds of millions of Muslims who are out to conquer Western Civilization and they are being aided by traitorous left wing scum like this reporter! The videos below tell the truth that there are hundreds of millions of Muslims who support jihad and sharia law.

2 manufactured phobias vying for pre-eminence:
Just after the San Bernardino atrocity Attorney General Loretta Lynch “addressed the Muslim Advocate’s tenth-anniversary dinner and declared that she is concerned about an ‘incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric . . . that fear is my greatest fear.”’ {National Review, 12/4/2015).
Loretta Lynch may have to step down, because she has failed even to mention, much less proportionately promulgate her boss Obama’s greatest fear — the cause behind the cause behind the cause of all present-day terrorism — not Islamophobic rhetoric, but something far more loathsome, noisome, shuddersome:: climate change.
Jean Terry says
Whatever happened to coming to a country and working hard. It seems they want it handed to them. They have no one to blame but themselves and making excuses for them does not help them. They should work and have self respect and then they might get respect back. It is like an alcoholic who blames the world for their problems and how it has not been fair and it is not their fault. It is the same thing with these Muslim people who turn to jihad. The alcoholic sometimes grows up and takes responsibility for their life and begins to make progress. The Muslim who is a stranger in a strange land needs to do the same thing. It is all about attitude and self responsibility.
