The organisers of a "March Against Fear" planned for Sunday to mark the Brussels terror attacks said they had cancelled the event after the authorities asked them to do so because of security fears.

"We understand this request. The security of our citizens is an absolute priority. We join the authorities in proposing a delay and ask people not to come this Sunday," the organisers said in a statement on Saturday.

The authorities earlier asked for the march to be put off, perhaps for several weeks, to allow the police to concentrate their resources on the investigation into the attacks which left 31 dead and 300 wounded.

"We invite the citizens tomorrow to not have this manifestation," Interior Minister Jan Jambon said, speaking in English.

The March was supposed to show that Belgians would not be intimidated by fear.

This pretty much sums up the problem in Europe, in a nutshell.

We need to call that phone on the street in Brussels and ask the smug, self righteous liberals walking through that city if they still feel safe.

Then call them racists when they say anything other than “yes”.

When everybody is in uniform, it’s hard to start an antiwar movement.

I’ve already suggested on another thread that we require two years universal military service after high school. That way, when students see the word “Trump” chalked on a stairway, they won’t have to go to grief counselors.

From Mark Steyn...

“Mr van den Boogaard is a Dutch gay “humanist”, which is pretty much the trifecta of Eurocool. He was reflecting on the accelerating Islamization of the Continent and concluded that the jig was up for the Europe he loved. “I am not a warrior, but who is?” he shrugged.

“I have never learned to fight for my freedom. I was only good at enjoying it.”

That’s going to be Europes epitaph.

They’ve had to cancel many outdoor events already this year and are living in perpetual fear. They’ve lost without a fight. RIP Belgium.

New Years Eve Celebration Fire Works-Cancelled

Soccer game France vs. Belgium -Cancelled

Soccer game Spain vs. Belgium - Cancelled

They are living in perpetual fear.

As I posted to a similar article; Whenever I read of an incident like this I think of th British who continued to go to the theatre during the bombing of London to show that they would not be cowed.

It's time for Mooslims to start "disappearing" by the truckload.

That's the only hope at this point.
