MONCEAU-SUR-SAMBRE, Belgium, Dec. 5 - Muriel Degauque, believed to be the first European Muslim woman to stage a suicide attack, started out life as a good Roman Catholic girl in this coal mining corner of Belgium known as the black country. She ended it in a grisly blast deep inside Iraq last month.

(1) The number of well-catechized 38 year old Roman Catholics in Belgium is pretty small.

I was thinking the same thing. Things probably would have turned out differently if she was educated properly.

Most likely she was raised in a typical European CINO family.

Looks that way.

Her mother told neighbors that she was pleased because Islam had helped her daughter stop drinking and doing drugs...

"Sometimes I wonder if we should just ban Islam."

Short answer: Yes.

Now you don't have to wonder anymore. :)

Isn't it! I was thinking that maybe the suicide bombers have developed "smart bomb" technology where they can zero in on the bad guys just like we do.

Little of Ms. Degauque remained after the explosion in which she died, according to the Belgian Police, though the American soldiers recovered her passport and other papers

This slag could have entered the USA visa-free with that passport. Belgium is one of the countries in the so-called Visa Waiver Program.

If anyone is to blame it is the Belgian state. The systematic destruction of religious education left this poor young woman unable to cope with tragedy and an easy victim of Muslim propaganda.

Religious education begins in the home and is continued in the Church. The state has nothing to do with religious education and cannot be held accountable.

European women are finding fewer men with these traits because European men have been feminized. Islamic men, therefore, are becoming more attractive to women.

An interesting analogy with one exception. The same 'qualities' that you ascribe to Islamic men, also apply to Middle Eastern christian men. My pastor is Lebanese - fully middle eastern in temperament and "ALL" male! He unabashedly preaches Jesus Christ and is willing to lay down his life for Him.

This is very true. The difference is in the call to and justification for violence within the teachings of Muhammad, of course.

To expand somewhat on what I said earlier, I also fear that European women, who are mesmerized and thus indoctrinated by Muslim men to the point where they would blow themselves up, are not really doing it for a cause. Instead, they are doing it to prove themselves to a specific male. They probably think they will be together with their male when they are in heaven.

Good Lord, I had my bf read that article. It's scary when you think about your daughters. Ladies, don't date Muslims.

European birthrate is low while Muslim immigrants have several children. European women will have to marry Muslim men because they will be the only men around!

Europe will be a Islamic state within another generation and they will control the political scene.

France will go first.

Archbishop Jadot was raised as a Catholic in Belgium and he was responsible for Howard Hubbard being your bishop (and Bernardin and Law, and Mahoney, and.......) It is long past time to investigate what it means to be brought up "Catholic" in Belgium.
