Bomb-making class gone awry? Another one of those “gas leaks” that have become so common in Europe and the U.K. in recent years? Some other form of diversity and cultural enrichment? No telling. It could be an accident. It could be jihad. That’s the exhilarating aspect of Ramadan!

    The equivalent of celebratory fireworks. The best part is can watch really closeup even in the midst if you want the thrill.

      Ramadan, is the MONTH OF JIHAD AND VICTORIES.

      Yes, WM, FIRE and DESTRUCTION of the KAFIRS’ wealth is the perfect way to celebrate the MONTH OF JIHAD AND VICTORIES. Economic sabotage is JIHAD.

      Jihad is any AGGRESSION to advance Islam.

        You can’t vet Muslims. At this point most of them know the correct answer. All Muslims are adherents of an evil ideology whose goal is conquest. Islam is resolute. We need to stop giving Muslims the benefit of our uninformed doubt.

      • Stacy Girl says

        They can’t be trusted but they can be vetted. Vetting process; if muslim, no entry.

      The authorities may not let us know.

        Yes, they haven’t let us know about the fire that consumed a halal grocery and several apartments in the Cedar-Riverside area of Minneapolis (AKA “Little Mogadishu”) on New Year’s Eve in 2014. Local officials said it was caused by a gas leak, despite the gas company’s denial. And the remains of the building were demolished and hauled away before and forensic work could be done.

      • J D S says

        May 16, 2018 at 4:08 pm

        Probably the police won’t go there or fire trucks either

    But the government of Belgium did as it was impliedly told. It called in Israel’s ambassador to Belgium and expressed its concern about the situation in Gaza — meaning, of course, the Israelis should stop defending themselves so effectively.

    The Muslims of Molenbeek are proving distinctly ungrateful. Goodness,what’s a poor appeasement-minded country to do?

    • Diane Harvey says

      May 15, 2018 at 5:06 pm

      The answer to your question will be set in motion when native Belgians are forcibly displaced to give their homes to the ungrateful Muslim families who were burned out by the activities of their Muslim coreligionists.

      • Clive Stephen Delmonte says

        May 16, 2018 at 4:20 am

        Let’s not forget the fire a few months ago over a shop in Leicester. The authorities immediately said it was not terror-related, when it obviously was. Likely cause – another untrained bomb maker getting it wrong.

        • Papa Whiskey says

          May 16, 2018 at 11:23 am

          Very similar to the Cedar-Riverside blast in Minneapolis.

      The obvious solution is bring in millions more. The taxpayer will happily belly up to the bar and pay for this. If it were me I would bitcoin my possessions and wealth and go to the middle east where its now a lot safer

  5. Wellington says

    May 15, 2018 at 4:42 pm

    Since Muslims get virtually nothing right, including the absurd position they take when praying, I decided long ago to regularly call them “Buttlims” since they pray with their asses in the air. Yes, they really do look ridiculous when praying to the non-existent Allah, which non-existent deity is nothing more than the hand puppet of that seventh-century immoral, psychopathic and brutal con-artist known as Mohammed.

    Hence, I have “adjusted” the description for the Five Pillars of Islam with this in mind. The Five Pillars being: 1) the month of Ramabutt; 2) the Butt oath; 3) alms for Buttlims; 4) Butt prayers five times a day; and 5) the Buttgrimage to Mecca.

    Again I assert that mocking evil is the next best thing to extinguishing it. Islam deserves to be mocked. Most certainly it does because it is an enemy of many fine things, among them being freedom, equality under the law, a true Golden Rule for all, real women’s rights, music, fine beer, romantic love, overall general happiness and the embracing of life over death.

    So, mock away I say while all the while having in mind not just the ridicule of Islam but, even more important, the ultimate crushing of it. After all, Islam so deserves to be mocked and crushed. Surely.

    • mortimer says

      May 15, 2018 at 5:40 pm

      Disagree, when you mock a TOXIC NARCISSIST/borderline, they take revenge for their wounded pride.

      Mocking them stirs them up. A frontal dressing down is harder for them refute.

      The HARDEST QUESTION for a Muslim to answer is this: “AM I A KAFIR?”

      They will try to WORM THEIR WAY OUT OF IT, but will not be able to.

      • mortimer says

        May 15, 2018 at 5:42 pm

        By the way, Wellington, you did what I recommended with your VERY FINE LIST of the things that make life worth living and which are NEGATED by Islam.

        Use that with Muslims and they will be unable to answer.

      • Terry Gain says

        May 15, 2018 at 6:29 pm

        Disagree. Nothing in the whole wide world is as mock-worthy as Islam. Being polite and appeasing only emboldens them. Islam is irrational.

        • Wellington says

          May 15, 2018 at 7:37 pm

          I respect mortimer a lot, Terry Gain, but I am glad to see that you are with me here.

        Islam and its foul “Prophet” should be mocked relentlessly.

    • Jayell says

      May 16, 2018 at 3:08 am

      In the UK in the 1950’s an entrepreneur called Billy Butlin built up a chain of ‘holiday camps’ around the country that became very popular with working class Brits since all services (including tacky entertainment every night), were laid on. I believe that some ‘Butlins Camps’ have survived. You might understand why I therefore find the idea of muslims as ‘Buttlims’ highly amusing – every mosque is a ‘Buttlims Camp’ where they can enjoy their antediluvian entertainment in a local islamic paradise. Obviously goes down a bomb!

  6. Lebel says

    May 15, 2018 at 4:42 pm

    Win-win : if it’s just a fire, there’s a ready made conspiracy about the “media” hiding the truth.

    Well done once again

    • Ashley says

      May 15, 2018 at 6:18 pm

      Robert DID post that it could be an accident, Lebel. I *think* the fire broke out in an industrial area. I read the explosion came from a business that works in wood and plastics.

      Not sure these reports have been confirmed as accurate…this is a developing story.

      I think it is too early to conclude this was terror related.

      That said, this happened in a heavily populated Muslim area. Today kicked off Ramadan.

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      May 15, 2018 at 8:03 pm

      I have to say, Lebel once again makes a good point. I would like to see more evidence concerning the cause of this fire before drawing any conclusions.

      • Scapegoat says

        May 16, 2018 at 6:38 am

        There was a “fire” at a Liverpool multi-storey car park that destroyed over 1100 vehicles. Fire is jihad too.

        • CogitoErgoSum says

          May 16, 2018 at 10:09 am

          I’m not saying it’s not possible that fire can’t be a weapon of the jihadists, I would just like to see some evidence that they did it. Usually they like to take credit and boast about it. But sometimes fires do happen just by accident such as faulty wiring or carelessness. My goal is to try always to find the truth and follow it no matter where it leads.

    May 15, 2018 at 4:57 pm

    What an idiots are Moslims with Ramadan. In New Zealand moslims can drink and eat nearly all 24 hours daily, on north of Canada or Alaska they can eat and drink 2-3 hours only.

    • Wellington says

      May 15, 2018 at 5:11 pm

      Tending once again to demonstrate that Islam is a farce.

    • DHazard says

      May 15, 2018 at 6:07 pm

      There are so many rules in Islam that Muslims have invented “workarounds”. The fasting during Ramadan is to remind Muslims of the poor. However, the food orgy that follows sunset seems to trivialize Ramadan’s core meaning. But it’s technically not punishable by Allah. To avoid the death sentence and shame for adultery some middle eastern Muslims will travel to Indonesia and marry a girl for a few days. Just before returning to his homeland he will divorce her. Again Allah has nowhere banned this practice.

      In general, however, I am sure many if not most European Muslims skip prayers, drink, take drugs and have sex with someone other than their wives or slaves. They also have a workaround for escaping the eternal torture that would otherwise face them; martyrdom. These guilt ridden Muslim may have been planning their salvation when they got the bomb formula wrong. Failures in their practice of Islam, failures in chemistry class and, now, dead failures. Maybe some Jew posted a designed-to-fail bomb formula on purpose. Muslims are only responsible for their actions when something good results. Golden Age of Islam: 100% due to Islam.
      Muslim terrorism: 50% Islamophobia, 25% understandable reaction to Jews in Palestine, 25% mental illness.

    May 15, 2018 at 5:16 pm

    Will they ever recognize when “enough is enough” and if so, will they have the will or spine to do anything about it? Islam, making political objectives a religious duty…for centuries.

    • Terry Gain says

      Since the beginning. And ever after.

    Did Macron and Merkle give permission for this to take place in Belgium?

    Are they against it or in favor?

    If found to be a bomb…will they blame Israel, the U.S., unemployment, moslim’s scarves being yanked, someone staring, or all of the above, plus….?

    I suppose there’ll be a rush to build a brand new building. Another expense, made to house the enemy. Another financial burden.

    Better to not rebuild, not in that neighborhood. Let the invaders double and triple up. And repeat, after the next “accident.” At some point they’ll leave, yes?

    Ooops! Dreaming…

  13. Kasey says

    May 15, 2018 at 10:49 pm

    That could be one way to get a new State-funded housing development underway for immigrants which is paid for by the State.

    • Supernova 500 says

      May 21, 2018 at 1:01 am

      Maybe the housing facilities weren’t good/new enough or had been previously lived in by the “dirty Kafir”. (Sarc.). This would certainly be a good way to get brand new housing. No doubt similar arson schemes have been used before…… considering the increasing frequency of this occurrence.

      • gravenimage says

        Muslims actually have burned down accommodations provided for them because they were not swanky enough.

  14. Rarely says

    May 15, 2018 at 11:10 pm

    Just round up the “usual suspects”: Elmer Fudd, Michael Jordan, Garfield, Donald Trump, Lassie, the Vienna Boys Choir, the Pope and Elvis. Are there more than a few hundred reasons to suspect muslims?

      May 16, 2018 at 6:33 am

      He wrote: “It could be an accident. It could be jihad.” He has nothing to be ashamed of.

      • Lebel says

        May 16, 2018 at 12:01 pm

        Right, as I have often said, everything bad that happens in the world could be jihad with this nonsense logic.

        Also, looking at the reactions on this page, it already is jihad. The same thing happened with the car attacks in Munster and Toronto where even after it was clear Muslims were not to blame, Mr. Spencer reached for the conspiracy theory: “I am not saying it’s jihad but the media is known to lie in order to protect jihadis so…draw your own conclusions.”

        Mr. Spencer is playing you for fools and he should because you are exactly that.

          May 16, 2018 at 11:30 pm

  19. Mark says

    May 16, 2018 at 9:42 am

    Islam is often reffered to as the nation of Islam. Any one who is Moslem is a citizen of the Nation of Islam. Since the U.S. does not recognize dule citizenship, Moslems cannot be U.S. citizens.

  21. No Muzzies Here says

    May 16, 2018 at 10:05 am

    This is the holy month. A time for getting to know one’s religion better. Reading its texts, and discovering therein the intense hatred for non-believers, and the admonition to destroy, burn, and tear down.

  22. Linda Clark formerly Linnte says

    May 16, 2018 at 11:39 am

    The fires of hell ripping through Belgium. Sounds about right for this time of year.

  23. Lebel says

    May 16, 2018 at 11:57 am

    Still no evidence but the damage is done. Robert Spencer and his allies have already spread their lies but some are fighting back:

    http://deredactie.be/cm/vrtnieuws.english/Brussels/1.3198567

    At this point, any fire or even natural catastrophe can somehow be the work of Muslims and if no evidence exists then we always the conspiracy theory which always works on this group.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 27, 2018 at 11:29 pm

      Yes–as Lebel would have it, Anti-Jihadists have to be fought against.
