Brussels is Europe’s “soft underbelly,” and Islam is submerging it

[the_ad id=”90513″]

A year ago, a suicide Islamic commando struck Zaventen airport in Brussels and detonated bombs in its tube. The terrorists planned the attack from Molenbeek, a district of Brussels and the multicultural laboratory in the heart of Europe. Paris’ terrorists also lived there, as did many other Jihadist cells. A year later, what have Belgian authorities done to cure Molenbeek’s sickness? Nothing, and the situation is very bad.

The mayor of Brussels, Yvan Mayeur, warned in an interview with the newspaper De Morgen: “Everyone knows that all mosques in Brussels are in the hands of the Salafists,” the most radical sect of Islam. The Belgian police discovered 51 non-governmental organizations tied to terrorists, and said that it had raided 8,600 homes in which lived a total of 22,668 inhabitants, a quarter of the total population of Molenbeek.

Today Belgian intelligence, which unfortunately has proven to be not very intelligent, constantly monitors 6,168 people in Molenbeek. It is an army. But the resistance to the dismantling of jihadist cells starts at the top, from the deputy mayor of Molenbeek, Ahmed el Khannouss, who condemned the preventive measures as “unjustified”: “We thought that these practices had ended with the Second World War, when people were targeted for their religion.”

In February, a report by Belgium’s Unit for Threat Analysis (OCAD) reported that “radical Islam” is winning the hearts and minds of the Muslim community at the expense of “moderate Islam,” which is not moderate, but institutional. OCAD revealed that Salafists were working hard to “change Belgian society and make it more Islamic.” “An increasing number of mosques and Islamic centers in Belgium are under the influence of a Wahhabi and Salafi apparatus. More and more mosques in Brussels, Antwerp and Mechelen are strictly Wahhabi.” Today, the Salafis also have their own satellite channels in Belgium.

90 percent of students between seventeen and eighteen years old in Molenbeek consider terrorists to be “heroes.” There is also a demographic reason that Molenbeek is called “Europe’s Gaza.” While the region has an average of 7,209 inhabitants per square kilometer, in Molenbeek it is four times higher, 26,515 per square kilometer. Two journalists, Christophe Lamfalussy (La Libre) and Jean-Pierre Martin have just published a book, Molenbeek-sur-Jihad (Grasset), in which they accuse Belgian politicians of being “identified with the electorate.” Basically, Islam asks and the politicians give. “It is clear that we have too few official mosques in Molenbeek,” the Mayor of Molenbeek, Françoise Schepmans, just said. Too few mosques? In Molenbeek? There are 25, to which must be added 16 local prayer halls.

Lamfalussy and Martin write in their book that Belgium is le ventre mou, the “soft underbelly” of Europe. Brussels has just gained another law-abiding Muslim citizen. She is Malika el Aroud, the widow of the terrorist who killed the Afghan commander Massoud two days before September 11, 2001. Malika was in prison because she inspired the jihadist network. The Belgian authorities thought to contribute to the fight against terrorism by releasing her. In the same weeks, Belgian authorities tried to arrest the former Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs, Tzipi Livni, who had to cancel a trip to Brussels after prosecutors prepared to have a court convened for Livni so as to accuse her of “war crimes” committed during the war in Gaza, when she was foreign minister. Poor Belgium, which releases Jihadists and tries to arrest Israelis.

In Brussels, practising Catholics today amount to 12% of the population; some 19% are active Muslims. La Libre daily reveals the fate of Belgian Christianity: 35 churches out of 110 in Brussels will be closed since practising Christians are just 1.5 percent of the population, according to a survey at the University of Leuven.

A year after the terror attacks in Brussels, Belgium looks exhausted, and Islam moves slowly toward submerging it.

It is necessary to stop this muslim invasion.

Before the November 2015 Paris attacks the MS media ignored Molenbeek no-go Muslim area and told practically nothing about it. Journalists wrote a number of articles of the city of Brussels, never saying anything on this no-go area.

We western Europeans are not that weak, the day of reckoning is coming but first for the treacherous European mainly left political elite. They will be dealt with in time coming soon. Hitler had his night of the long knives, tomorrow Europe will have many nights with a long knife.

Well, it is necessary otherwise we western Europeans are very doomed, and for what. We pay our killers with welfare and housing but the most disturbing thing is is that our political class (treacherous) is against the Europeans. A few days ago I had an argument with a German who thought the next head of state should be Mr. Schultz. The very fact that Mrs. Merkel is still living is a big surprise. Europe has to clean up the house before going after the muzzrats.

That’s what Bernard Lewis said, 10 years ago, and if he said so, it is probably true.

I do not think that Belgians or Swedes will be victims of large scale teror attacks. I see Belgium and Sweden serving as the base of operations. The Jihadis are treated well there and allowed to live as they please by the Dhimmis. The attack in Brussels seems to have been in response to the arrest of the chap involved in Bataclan.
– Perhaps these fellows have something planned for Good Friday.

By the way, nothing to do with Islam.

“will be victims of large scale teror attacks”
Or die a slow death because of a decaying society that thinks everything is “not that bad”!

” Today, the Salafis also have their own satellite channels in Belgium.”
We’re at war, pull the damn channels. tell them to write on papyrus.

Implement travel bans, then cut off their access to the internet as well – so they can’t recruit by cyberspace.
This is war… it’s our right to obliterate the enemies communications.

Excellent points. Yet another flaw in the EU, it is only as strong as its weakest link: once the terrorists find the soft spot they can infiltrate there, establish roots, and spread elsewhere in the EU due to open borders.

It used to be that rat infestations were exterminated and their nests destroyed .Nowadays they let the rats flourish and even pay to increase the population and help them build their stinking dens.
By the way, this is happening in all European and Western Countries.
Just unreal !!!!

It’s true. Mattis also believes in the lie that is the two-state final solution for Israel.

For Molenbeek: Hama rules. Look it up. It was apparently very effective for the senior Assad.

As we have known Belgium it was known as the laughing stock of Europe. And they are still the laughing stock. No-one takes anyone from Belgium serious. The Banana Republic of Europe. Although they do nice fries and beers. Why the Belgium authorities did not kill this c*nt I do not understand. Now he is lingering in a prison cell. They should have finished him off on the spot. Job done! And a message to other muzzrats.

Speaking of laughing stock of Europe, years ago I worked for an int’l engineering company where I was exposed to foreigners from all over, including Belgium.
I was a young computer clerk, and I worked alongside the secretary pool….
We never tired of asking an engineer from Belgium which he was from….His answer: Antwerp.
We fell over each other in helpless giggles every time!
