Bunch of terrorist attacks this morning in Belgium. Two bombs at the airport and one at the train station sending Europe into another state of shock. The Islamic terrorist group, Isis claimed responsibility. Why is this happening? I don't personally like to place all the blame on the religion that the group worships but so many targeted attacks involving extremist groups in the news. Another bunch of people killed for no reason.
ISIS is a threat - yes, but what the world needs is a leader that will address the problems that the countries in those regions are causing.
US and Israel are a problem as well within those regions. There's no denying it.
I personally believe that everyone involved in this has a problem and ISIS rose because they were tired of all the nonsense happening around them.
But it's ironic since they are also causing problems. Unnecessary ones. Just a senseless clusterfuck around that region with hideous and atrocious foreign policy and diplomacy.
Also, sorry about the mayor of Toronto, hope that he is in a better place now.
We need a vaccine or something that injects machines into the body that identifies and kills cancer cells or a liquid that allows the immune system to better identify cancer cells.
netherlands never pisses anything off. It'll be germany or UK next
But.. The deathtoll of ISIS attacks in Europe are fractional to those in the middle east, thousands die there every day and no one gives a flying f*ck so lets not get too depressed.

Has Belgium pissed anyone off? But, yeah, the next city will probably be London.
I don't think ISIS would be such a threat if they actually tried to stop it (obviously we can't just bomb the shit out of ISIS because of the consequences). I mean, what does ISIS even have? Sand. And unfortunately oil.
No need to feel guilty for blaming it on religion. Out of the something around 3000 recorded wars, over 2700 were based on religious reasons. Pretty much all attacks happen due to religious disputes.
Don't quote me on this though, I read something along those lines 6 months ago x)

Yeah one that's not accurate and two religious reasons is just a fore front for the war the underlying cause is almost always something like oil.

This is why there is a fear and hate agains Muslims.
I Think USA must attack them, or another Power country like Russia.
It's honestly funny how ignorant you are. "I think the USA must attack them". We did that for like 10 years, It does nothing. But hey, lets give them money for oil.
It's honestly the most depressing shit on earth, seeing as EVERY single god damn politician out there always wants to go to war in the Middle East.
And please don't bring up Russia, they're a terrorist group themselves, they just hide it.
I don't want to live in a world where I am constantly in fear for my life; where I know that simply walking down the street could be the last thing I will ever do. Although there are forces to protect us from harm at all costs, there is almost always a way to get past that. Being born into the time that I was, I know not of true peace or unity; to be carefree, not worrying about the "sketchy-looking" stranger walking behind me. I am always on the lookout, always suspecting the worst of others. I am taught to avoid certain people and to carry a weapon on me at all times. We shouldn't be living like this. We should all be living together in harmony, saying, "Hello" to people passing by. In this world today, no true peace can ever be established. In fact, it's almost impossible to sustain that peace (if reached) because of human nature itself. Honestly, the state that the world is in today is quite horrible.
I have no clue if any of that made sense or is incomplete, but I really just needed to vent.

Well said, I agree with your statement. Its so hard to feel safe nowadays, the person who lives down the street from you could be a killer... You never know who's good anymore. .-.

I live in the village and crime only happens here once every 5 years maybe. Everyone here says hello to each other and everyone trusts everyone. I guess it depends on where you live

Why does everyone think Muslims are terrorists? Why is the general public generalizing Muslims and ISIS are together? They aren't, infact, they are completely seperate to the extremest groups - it's just the terrorists believe that all other religions are their enemies. MANY Muslim leaders have spoken out in public in debates and have said it themselves:- they condemn the extremest group's actions greatly.
Felt like saying that, may have been out of no where but oh well :P

I was gonna write this!! Stealing my paragraph. Seriously though, every day thousands of people die in Syria and many other places. It's a shame no one cares for non European and non North American places.

The media is to blame. I believe they're the reason for all this assumption and misconception on the Muslim faith. They are greedy and only in it for the money, literally only broadcasting something relatable for/to them; hence why we rarely hear about 'things' occurring in more concerned places in the world.

The way one person put it "Not all Muslims are terrorists and not all terrorists are Muslim." But its hard to believe especially here in Canada and in the U.S. where most of the crimes or murders committed locally are by someone that is Muslim.
Turkey (usually Istanbul and Ankara) is getting bombed EVERYDAY. Even if I'm Muslim because of I live in there, this makes me hate my religion. Someone needs to stop 'em.

Here's the reasons: 1. If newspapers all reported on everything bad that their home countries did morale and patriotism would be at an all time low. 2. News outlets in the history of countries such as the US have been censored and attacked when reporting such stories 3. While such news outlets do exist today they are attacked literally and verbally. Ex. Charlie Hebdo 4. As a people we are sheep, easily flocked to one mindset, therefore we choose to accept the news standards of CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX 5. This mass over exposure of American related issues can only be our own fault (as a people) as we continue to not only support organizations that promote censorships but the government officials having their war chests filled with the money of corporate America.
I think it would be best if everyone takes the blame for the current happenings in the Middle East.
If the US didn't get involved in the Middle East in the 1980s with Soviet-Afghan war then none of this would've happened...
The Mujahideen... The Soviets... The 1980s was the time period that basically escalated this whole terrorist-organization crap in the Middle East...
The 1970s with Israel...
Israel is also to blame because the way that they treat Palestinians outside of Israel is atrocious...
ISIS is obviously a component because they're not doing anything to solve the problem and are not true Muslims. They even blew up some ancient Islamic relics for profit. If you call them Muslims then you are an ignorant person, these people are monsters.
Desert Storm... Soviet-Afghan War... War in Afghanistan... Iraq War... The farce that is the War on Terror.
The past 15 years... so much Islamophobia and bigotry. This is really sad.
We need people like Bernie to take us out of other people's affairs.

You're right, they aren't Muslims. They aren't in it for their "religion" they're pieces of shit that want to conquer the world.
(From a U.S. standpoint, I don't know enough to say about other countries) The problem with ISIS isn't their numbers or military strength. If anything they could be easily taken care of if the circumstances allowed for such. Unfortunately what makes this entire situation much more laborious to deal with is that the U.S. can deploy 100,000 soldiers and get rid of ISIS's control over their territory, but that is not a convenient method as it would be expensive and we don't want to sacrifice soldiers again (as we already did within the last decade or two, and this action was seriously rebuked by society). Another method that can be taken (Trump's method **Vomits after hearing Trump's name**) is to blow them to smithereens. This is also a horrible decision as what many people don't realize is that there are innocent civilians who still live in that territory. What one has to realize is that these people are also trying to survive the daily attacks and threats from ISIS. They are fighting starvation and even if they were to leave (which is already difficult because of ISIS holding them with a knife on their throats) Many countries do not want to take in these refugees and even if they did, these refugees are too poor to actually even get to the countries, nonetheless survive there. So bombing the area where ISIS has their control is out of the question, unless killing more innocent people in a hypocritical way seems like the proper course of action. Due to these two methods (which would usually work with every other military situation since there's a battlefield) being inefficient and morally wrong, it is difficult beyond measure to destroy the power base of ISIS which would probably lead to the abolition to ISIS as a whole.
About the irrational fear of all Muslims, what really needs to be done is people need to spread awareness about what ISIS is and how not every Muslim is not a terrorist. It honestly hurts me personally (being a Muslim myself) when I see or hear extremely racist and gruesome comments. Also, what many people also don't realize is that the version of Islam that the general population of Muslims and what ISIS claims is Islam are two extremely different things. The one that ISIS sees is a very extreme case of beliefs which is very specific and almost insane. The Islam that most people follow is a totally different thing from the Islam that ISIS says is the true Islam.
I'm done....I would write more, but I'm being yelled at :P
The way one person put it "Not all Muslims are terrorists and not all terrorists are Muslim." But its hard to believe especially here in Canada and in the U.S. where most of the crimes or murders committed locally are by someone that is Muslim.
No, I'm pretty sure the statement you said about most crimes in the U.S. and Canada being committed by a Muslim is very false. Also, Islam not once says to go out and commit crimes like this. It actually has very strict punishments against such things, so even if a person who is Muslim happens to commit a crime, it certainly has nothing to do with them being Muslim. If a Muslim truly followed the rules of the religion, they wouldn't do these crimes, and the fact that they do commit these crimes proves that they aren't true Muslims.
in Australia there was a Muslim man that killed someone in the city that I live in, centre point tower.
ffs was that,the scariest moment on my life.
I mean, again, if he's a terrorist, he's 99% not Muslim. In addition, he's breaking his religious code if he is indeed Muslim. Terrorists have their own twisted views on the Islam faith, and to reiterate what Zin said,
"If you call them Muslims then you are an ignorant person, these people are monsters."
I mean I understand that it's extremely scary for you, but I just want to flatten out that little pet peeve of mine.

The murders (in Ottawa) and terrorist attacks in Canada are mostly Muslim. Its not 100% fact that I can blame all crimes on Islam but you can make the connection that most of the people are followers of Islam. Not trying to sound racist or anything but its stuff like that media won't cover because of islamaphobia.
Whatever You watching cnn too much. Never trust media. It was made to manipulate our's minds.
Seeing how ignorant you are about what Putin is doing to Ukraine, I'm going to ignore your pointless comments. And I don't even watch CNN, its complete garbage.

Actually Donald Trump's idea to get rid of ISIS is to murder their families (Which is a WAR CRIME by the way.)
@OP Although I'm really saddened by this, they way Western Media works we never hear about attacks elsewhere in the world, and a post like this could be made basically every week if we lived in other places.

Technically the terrorists on the news now are in an extremist branch of Islam, but if you ask Muslims they probably won't consider them part of their religion.

This was a video I was trying to find a link for https://youtu.be/ES9_xe0OhIs just some of the reason Canadians are worried too.
You have to understand where they're coming from. They don't do this for no reason, but I understand this is extreme and unnecessary.
Disrespect, racism, and violence happen against Muslims. If a white man bombs a place, it's an attack. If it's a Muslim bombing, it's a terrorist. Trump wants to put a "special band" on Muslims, while ISIS is putting a bad impression on Muslims.
Kim Jong Un, nothing is done about him. If you watch a few videos, he feeds this people rotten cucumbers, and if they don't eat them all, they are beaten until they vomit blood. Yet all everyone thinks is Muslims are the real threat. Some are, but most are trying to be safe from people trying to hurt them even though they're innocent.
In the quaran, (for those of you who don't know what that is,it is the Islamic version that is similar to the bible) it doesn't say anything about bombing innocent victims. Yet, I don't understand why they think it is under the "Will of God". But when you think of what has been discriminated against them for years, you see how they do this for a reason, even though it is extreme and should be nowhere near a reaction this harsh
Muslims are nice people, I fact I never discriminated them in any way.
@tino
I'm not saying that you are discriminating against Muslims. I'm just telling you that if he is Muslim, then your post is completely off topic because it doesn't relate to terrorism. If it does, in fact, relate to ISIS or Al Qaeda or any other organization, then saying he is Muslim is just objectively wrong. Because he probably isn't.
The news station is probably trying to appeal to the ignorant public, saying that the man was Muslim to give everyone without a clue what he believes and looks like. It's like saying that a Korean man killed 5 people and the news refers to him as "Asian". If the guy was an actual terrorist, once again, they would be completely wrong.
actually im scared to reply, cause you will throw me away from this thread. Again Independent - my most favorite :D What russians, how are they, where links to officials comments? it is just blah blah blah. ( i think, if Russia places millitary forces in Mexico, USA will destroy Mexico and Russia and someone else.) NATO should stop moving to our borders. RT - There are our naval base in Sevastopol. Oh yeah, inderect pressure. They pressed like 2,3 millon people. okey, if you believe it.... last one news is an old one. And honestly, i regert, that he didnt use his right. maybe those 7000 people would be alive, and civil war wouldnt started (2 millons refugees, and 40000 live in my town) I think, you dont understand the whole situation there. You wasnt there, you havent talked to this people. An advice: read history of Russia, Ukraine, Crimea etc. Then you'll get it.

I am aware of the politics of Crimea, as it used to be a piece of Russian land. However, it was gifted to the Ukrainians. Alas, that does not give Russia the right to annex the land through pressure.
Quite upsetting it is about the incident in Brussels. Hate extremists, they're just pathetic thinking that what they believe is right - "Oh yeah let's kill a bunch of innocent people because we will go to heaven". That completely contradicts what they are saying it's just sad.
Very, very sad, a couple of days before Easter too. :( RIP to those who died. My condolences to their family.
This has just reminded us that an attack can happen anywhere at any time. Thinking about it now, I'm sure every single airport is going to consider upgrading their security as well as being on constantly alert for supisicous activity. As for the UK, I'm flying out soon so I seriously hope they take this into mind.
