Terror Attacks

[DeanoVilla]

Looks like we have one in Brussels where it's being reported 2 people have been shot dead by a gunman.

2 Swedes killed. Belgium v Sweden match abandoned at half time and Swedish fans kept inside the stadium for their own safety.

Looks like we have one in Brussels where it's being reported 2 people have been shot dead by a gunman and according to Sky News there are other attacks ongoing.

He says he's killed 3 so far in a video.

Sky News are reporting more attacks and more deaths.

Wonder if this is linked to the events in Palestine

Someone has posted that it could be linked to a burning of the Koran in Sweden.

Apparently the gunman has been named and is known to the authorities.

He did say he was "avenging Muslims"

Was just saying the same to the missus.

Just seen Midlands news on IPTV and a farm by Brum has had cattle slaughtered in the field and butchered. Some wet behind the ears copper interviewed wearing a white ribbon on his uniform. Thought senior officers had banned all this virtue signalling crap and told coppers too get on with proper coppering.

I'm confused The WW3 thread has disappeared. I can't see it on my newsfeed anyway. Has it been merged with this?

I think our terror threat level will be going up. I think this will be people being 'radicalised' by the images from Gaza coupled with the UK's position on the matter, rather than anything significantly coordinated. The probability of individual nutters going out and stabbing people will increase.

Still there.

Yeah all the images and goings on for both sides is literally free recruitment material. The people who recruit the radicals must be rubbing their hands together.

I like this quote from The Prague Cemetary by Umberto Eco.
”People are never so completely and enthusiastically evil as when they act out of religious conviction.”

Unfortunately I think you’re right, the politics and religion are too polarising when it comes to the Middle East, from both sides who can’t see past their own views. It only takes a fraction of the people with extreme views to cause terror on the streets. I would start taking more precautions in the U.K. if I were Jewish over the next few weeks that’s for sure, probably goes for all of us regardless of religion.

On a side note, Brussels feels like a city which has a very bad problem with harnessing radicalised Muslims. Always seems to be a city which has connections with terror attacks across Europe, notably Paris.

In the end the Police managed to exterminate the lunatic in Brussels and turns out he was wanted by the authorities but they couldn't find him.

Belgium really does come across as being a dozy country.

This is four years old but still very relevant.

Some of 'us' on here I think, don't see the fact that Iran is behind all this trouble in the middle east.

If so, I'd advise you to read this history lesson, the facts are there;

Iran's tyrannical mullahs created the Hamas monster. Their downfall is now more vital than ever – Struan Stevenson

Pulverising Gaza will only create a new generation of Hamas terrorists, alienate other countries in the region and strengthen the Tehran regime’s hand

In fairness, this is what you call a correlation. Being among the richest and most developed nations in the world helps you be more peaceful since you're not fighting for resources or freedom.
