MOLENBEEK (BRUSSELS, BELGIUM) BREEDING-GROUND FOR MUSLIM TERROR

The municipality of Brussels Sint-Jans-Molenbeek is a breeding-ground for a complete generation of Muslim extremists. Some of the Brussel’s Imams also recruit active jihad fighters who are prepared to give their life for the holy war. Attacks in Belgium have not been planned sofar because Belgium is considered an ideal operating base.

Investigation journalist Hind Fraihi, a faithful Moslem woman, lived two months disguised as a sociology student in the heart of Molenbeek.

“I am astonished about what I discovered. I wrongly thought that many rumours about extreme Moslems were based on tall stories. Yet I found that many Brussels Moslems do not show the slightest intention to integrate. They look upon the Belgians as infidels and do not have any affection with our country. They consider Molenbeek not as a part of Belgium anymore but as an Islamic enclave where they make the rules as in an Islamic state and where Belgians are not welcome. Instead of integration there is an ongoing radicalisation.”

Hundreds of young adults study for years the “pure” Koran. They form a breeding-ground for hundreds of jihad fighters who are prepared to carry out attacks and to fight the holy ware against the infidels.

“There is no imminent danger for attacks in Belgium. They look upon our country as an ideal operating base. For them Belgium is a safe harbor where they can plan with very few risk all sorts of attacks and activities abroad. They will not put that situation in jeopardy. There is not a big, well-organised Moslem terror structure in our country, but a whole series of extremist cells. Therefore those cells are very difficult to map for the police.”

My take on the politics here in Belgium. I'm an American currently living in the Flemish part of Belgium and married to a Flemish, who provided the translation into English.

Perhaps this article will wake up some of these appeasers (and there are many) in Belgium. They live in denial since they have been bending over backwards to allow the Muslim integration into their culture.

It certainly gives ammunition to the Vlaams Belang party here who are trying to gain a foothold in Belgian politics. Currently the government is controlled by the Wallons (French-speaking part of Belgium). For those of you who do not know; Belgium is divided into 3 areas, Flanders (Dutch-speaking Flemish), Wallons (French-speaking) and a tiny area that is German-speaking. The Vlaams-Belang party is very strong in the Flemish part of the country, but the ruling Wallons and the high-court (French also) have ruled the party racist, since the Vlaams want to keep the Flemish and Belgian idenity intact by regulating the immigration.

A side note to this. There is a move on here by Flanders to break away from the government in Brussels. The country's politics are ruled by the Wallons because of the majority, but the money is in the Flanders area; therefore Brussels is fighting any move for this to happen.

Interesting personal insight Bump.

Well, they would never want to be viewed as intolerant, or not progressive, so they must allow the Mohammedans to do as they please.

And, they think because they hate the United States, the Mohammedans will ultimately leave them alone.

This is all part of the dilusional western European obession with diversity and multi-culturalism that will soon destroy all of our countries from within.

I lived in Brussels until just one year ago in the NATO Community. It was an acknowldeged fact that over 100 known terrorist groups openly operate within Belgium. There is a hands-off policy by the government and enforced by the threat of repriasal by those can and will terroriZe the Belgik's!

I lived in Brussels between 1992 and '95 and I recall that the area around Gare du Midi was like a Moroccan souk. Apparently, things have only become worse.

There was also quite a lot of friction back then between the Flemish and Walloon communities, but after a series of violent demonstrations by both sides, and the death of the very popular King Boudouin (which led to a "we are all Belgians" slogan vampaign), it all seemed to settle down for a while. Other than religion (both communities are nominally Roman Catholic) the two seem to have almost nothing in common. The Flems are certainly the harder working and friendly to Americans of the two groups.

Dear lady,

You are at the tip of the spear, but that fact has not yet dawned.

Hi, I live in Limburg in the Netherlands. There seems to be a lot of links to the city of Eindhoven and Belgian islamists too. The mosque in Eindhoven also is connected to the one in Hamburg were Atta and another 9/11 hijacker went to.
