Ignore Cruz And Trump — Scapegoating Muslims Is An Un-American Response To The Brussels Attacks

It has been clear at least since the massacre in Paris last November that jihadist terrorists are embedded in Europe, difficult to detect and determined to engage in spectacular acts of violence. So while Tuesday's carnage in Brussels was horrific, it also was achingly familiar. This time more than 30 people were killed and hundreds injured in separate attacks at the Brussels airport and at a downtown subway close to the headquarters of the European Union. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks.

While condemnations come easy, a strategy for preventing such outrages is elusive. It does seem that Belgian intelligence and law enforcement have been overmatched. It was only last Friday that authorities captured Salah Abdeslam, a suspect in the Paris attacks who was living in Brussels and reportedly planning further attacks. Obviously European governments need to cooperate more on identifying and uprooting terrorists in their countries.

Nominating Donald Trump will end the Republican Party as we know it. So will not nominating him

This attack also demonstrates the importance of the multinational military effort to, in President Obama's words, "degrade and ultimately destroy" Islamic State in Syria and Iraq — a campaign in which Obama has overcome his aversion to military action in the Middle East. That attempts to defeat Islamic State will inspire retaliation is no reason to abandon the effort, but it underlines the importance of adequate intelligence and information-sharing not just in Europe, but between European governments and the U.S.

This is why the West is suicidal, it refuses to acknowledge what the threat is.

Scapegoating Muslims Is An Un-American Response To The Brussels Attacks

I love when Progressives leftsplain to me about what's un-American.

Scapegoating?

Those who worship the murderous, warmongering, pillaging, slave-capturing, butchering, pedophilic, psychotic rapist Mohammed, have a moral duty to repudiate and condemn him, or go to Hell with him.

Mohammed was Charlie Manson without the humanity, only with more money and less musical talent. Except that Charlie Manson, as far as we know, never actually raped any 9-year-old girls.

And to those who respond by saying "violence has been committed in the name of all religions through the centuries," I ask: "How many people did Jesus kill? How many slaves did Jesus own? How many women did Jesus rape?"

The Five Pillars of Islam:
Murder
Slavery
Rape
Torture
War

Sorry, liberals. There's only 1 interpretation of Islam — Muhammad's

“The Times Editorial Board Contact Reporter”

brown journalism

1. journalism so biased, fallacious. filthy and full of **** that it makes mainstream journalism appear accurate and objective by comparison.

2. news so heavily biased and lacking in journalistic integrity that it actually makes yellow journalism seem white as snow.
