This Bloomberg report doesn’t say that this was a jihad plot or that the people arrested were Muslims, but it is blazingly obvious in light of previous jihadi threats against the soccer championships. Bloomberg, however, like the rest of the mainstream media, consider its primary duty to be covering for Islam and making sure that the public remains ignorant and complacent regarding the jihad threat.
“Belgium Arrests 12 Amid Report of Plot to Attack Soccer Fans,” by Ian Wishart, Bloomberg, June 18, 2016:
Belgian authorities arrested 12 people after conducting anti-terror raids in Brussels and across the country amid press reports of a plot to attack fans gathering to watch a Belgium soccer game.
Security forces raided a string of properties and 152 lock-up garages on Friday night and in the early hours of Saturday, Belgium’s federal prosecutor in Brussels said in an e-mailed statement. Prime Minister Charles Michel called for calm and said public events will go ahead with a heightened level of security. The country’s terror alert will remain at level 3 out of 4.
“The security services have obviously been extremely vigilant,” Michel told reporters after an emergency meeting with cabinet members and counter-terror chiefs. “We will continue our fight against extremism, against radicalism, against terrorism.”
What exactly is the ideological character of that extremism, radicalism and terrorism, Michel? And can you defeat it while remaining afraid to name it?
Counter-terrorism forces across Europe have increased security during the European soccer championships, particularly in France where the tournament is taking place until July 10. Belgium play Ireland in the southern French city of Bordeaux at 3 p.m.
On the 12 people arrested, “the investigating judge will decide on their possible detention later today,” the prosecutor said. He didn’t confirm a report by broadcaster VTM that the terrorists were planning to attack fans — possibly on Saturday — while Belgium’s soccer team play in the Euro 2016 tournament….
In total, police questioned 40 people during Friday’s overnight raids. No arms or explosives were found, the prosecutor said….
Separately, a Belgian citizen, identified only as Youssef E.A., born on Aug. 4, 1985, was arrested and detained in connection with the March attacks, the federal prosecutor said in a statement sent by e-mail late Friday.

These attacks and thwarted attacks by muslims are an act of war. But still there are some that believe we’re not in conflict with islam and muslims, it’s just a “hijack.” But the number of attacks, the size of the attacks, and their ideological motivation makes it clear, it’s a war in the fullest sense, militarily, culturally, and religiously.
“We will continue our fight against extremism, against radicalism, against terrorism.”
At least until they get voted out of office and muslims take over.
Hope says
OMG, Muslims were planning to attack people???? This is shocking!
I hope Wolfe Blitzer has been notified. CNN needs time to prepare their scathing report on the vicious manner in which these poor Muslims have been marginalized, ostracized, made fun of, and segregated by the vile European racists of Belgium, thus leaving them no choice but to become terrorists. In other words, cue the SOBS (same old bull ****).

“In total, police questioned 40 people during Friday’s overnight raids. No arms or explosives were found . . .”
Because they were stored in mosques where no raids were conducted . . .
Expect an outcry against the Islamophobic disruption of sunset-to-dawn Ramadan activities.

Future Attacks?
In the interest of PC efficiency and to avoid later redundancy the MSM have authorized a press release stating that any future terrorist attacks by Muslims are to be considered as having “nothing to do their noble and great religion.”

Headline Brussels: ” Foxes plan raid on henhouse. Hens remain calm but confused on motivation of Foxes”.
Dom107 says
Yes the hens believe that it’s only a small unrepresentative number of foxes who want to do them harm and their leader Hengela Merkel have invited all the foxes who need a home to join them in the henhouse.
There have been a few unrepresentative incidents of headless chickens running around in the henhouse but Hengela has said to stop clucking and study a few holy pictures in the local Henchurch instead
copakeman says
Only 12 ? I bet all of those 12 names will be hard to say or spell by western Europeans or Americans.
All will be released very quickly.
Jay Boo says
More — real police
Less — Thought Police
Mockingjay says
Amen.

… just hoping they got all of ’em – which of course, isn’t terribly likely…
ramadan is far from over,
and so aren’t the soccer championships
…
Angemon says
Must have been them “right-wing extremists”, right?
Immadiyah says
No doubt. another 12 additions to the global mental illness basket. Any one keeping tabs?

LIFESTYLE ATTACKS!
ISIS wants to show Muslims worldwide that they condemn the entirety of Western lifestyles and wish to punish them with Sharia punishments.
ISIS feels when Muslims see only one organization is imposing Sharia, that young Muslims will rise up spontaneously and murder their Western neighbors.
That is starting to happen. Expect some spectacular massacres before the end of this glorious Month of Jihad.
All westerners are sadly now on the front line of jihad because our obtuse leaders refused to listen to the counterjihadists. What we predicted is happening.
Muslims actually believe the Koran, Sira and hadiths and all the fatwas that demand the murder of disbelievers.

Mort, I agree. Though I might be wrong, I understand that the last ten days of the “holy month” are even more dangerous for Infidels.
SBJ says
For every 12 they catch, another 20 are hatching.
SpiritOf1683 says
With a name like Youssef E.A we can rule out Jehovahs Witnesses, but given how we’ve succumbed to political correctness, you can’t rule out anything in the authorities minds.

Today’s update from the Belgian newspaper:
A: Cousin, uncle, friends are planning and shooting, but they are just radicals and heavy criminals. No jihad or islam mentioned. http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20160620_02347247
B Brother of Brussels bomming was helper, no Islam mentioned http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20160620_02347932
C Train attacker was possibly not working alone, but listed to radical Islamic audio before the attack
http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20160620_02347756
D But let it be clear, the Belgian Government is taking action! They plan to increase the penalty in a new law: whoever leak secret information (in this terror war) will soon be charged with a dubble jail sentence and will be open for tapping and overhearing by the police. http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20160620_02347243
… And what about the motive of these criminals?
D: Although the organization for journalists replied that the Belgian Government doesn’t have to go in overdrive over a leak of information. The government make clear that journalist can be forced to give up their sources. http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20160620_02347802
E Today six more people interrogated, two in custody with connections to the train attack, they are described as having extreme ideas. http://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20160620_02347764
F They are terrorist! Terror cell connections with Brussels and Paris, concrete details found by police. http://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20160619_02346050
… terrorists against what? No motive? No ideology? … or could it be a Jihad?
just a day of today’s articles.
