Blasts rock Brussels airport/subway station

Ya gotta love these "patriots." A school gets shot up, well that's just the price of freedom.

Some a-holes set off a bomb in an airport, and suddenly all bets are off...

 
Two things you know nothing about and yet feel compelled to comment on. 
 
Islamic Extremism and Firearms.

Here’s What a Man Who Studied Every Suicide Attack in the World Says About ISIS’ Motives

More than anything, the terrorist group’s outward expressions of religious fervor serve its secular objectives of controlling resources and territory

The article is an opinion piece to consider in a very progressive/social publication.
 
Where the author lost me was when he stated something along the lines of:  ISIS is weak now thank's to Obama's policy, and has to resort to attacking the EU (or any other countires abroad). 
 
He draws the inccorect conclusion, IMHO,  that the decrease of ISIS terror attacks in Iraq/Syria and the increase in terror attacks abroad is a sign of weakness. 
 
I would argue that perhaps there is no more need for terror attacks in Iraq/Syria as they have achieved their goals (even though the ISIS controlled territory shrunk by 10%).  Carrying out terror attacks outside of the territory that they control is to me a sign of increased sophistication and capability.  I mean, what is more difficult, blowing yourself up at home to scare a few locals or expanding your network (financing, recruiting, training, logistics, planning, etc.) abroad?

You have to take a lesson from the Mossad, you cut the head of the snake.

 
Employing the Mossad techniques would require profiling of certain groups as well as spying on certain groups.  This tends to be frowned upon in the USA these days (e.g. https://www.aclu.org/factsheet-nypd-muslim-surveillance-program  )

Their solution to everything is a selfie and some spiffy hashtags.

Don't hold your breath.

Like I said; buncha people in a Luby's get mowed down, and all the patriots can jabber about is the "price of freedom."

Some clowns walk through the front door of an airport, and suddenly we're talkin' internment camps, deportation, and Trump style safe spaces.

Weakness is buying in to some of the hysteric reactions people have been having...

I'm pretty sure that was the prevailing opinion in Belgium not too long ago.
I wonder how do they like their chocolates now?

They probably like them as much or as little as they did two days ago...

 

[cltrat]

I bet they like their open border policy a little less

These were Belgian nationals; they didn't have to come in from anywhere...

Yes because the liberal policy of appeasement seems to be working out so well.

The civil society is under attack and all you Neville Chamberlain's think more appeasement is the answer.

You are correct, and generations of liberal Muslim appeasement only made things worse.

Hope you're happy with yourself.

What's needed is another "Crusades".

Which brain dead liberal's have been wrong about all along.
