A fire broke out in a synagogue in the Belgian capitals of Brussels Tuesday, in what appears to be a "criminal" act, according to reports.

Belgian daily La Dernière Heure said that several people broke into synagogue, which is located in the predominantly Muslim neighborhood of Anderlecht, and ignited several fires on the fourth floor of the building.

The wife and two children of the synagogue's caretaker suffered slight smoke inhalation in the fire on the top floor of the building, where they lived, said Laurens Dumont, a spokesman for the city prosecutor. The caretaker was absent at the time.

Dumont said "it would seem that the fire was set deliberately" at the synagogue in the Brussels neighborhood near the main train station, but the investigation was in its early stages.

"All leads are open," Dumont said.

Luckily it was only a “criminal” attack and not one of those anti-Semitic hate crimes that is all the rage in the EU.

Gee, aren’t they overreacting by calling this good hearted prank a crime. Just some neighborhood lads blowing off some steam.

Lots. That is the country they targeted. They should be Muslim majority by 2020. So hurry up and visit, before their pagan shrines are leveled.
