There are social media reports now that say firearms and more bomb belts have been recovered from the airport; and video in the immediate aftermath show fully-armed soldiers on scene within seconds. I’m going to predict that this attack didn’t go totally to plan and likely the airport security prevented something even worse.

Have you seen the news today? Your pathetic excuses (thats what it is) aren't working.

You continuing here to make excuses for their acts of terror is especially suspicious.

Which people again?
That's exactly what I mean. Trying to make ME out to be the bad guy because I used "you people". I was responding to your comment/excuse/apolody:
"people who are no more dangerous to society than you are. Less, even..."
Those people.

Less dangerous than I am? You picked a bad day to be an apologist for terrorism.

They will get “twinkled”. I guess I’ll have to change my
screen name to something else. “Twinkie” is just fodder
for ridicule. :o)

I’ve seen that too. I wonder if anyone has ever fact checked the numbers.

I thought ISIS terrorists were only interested in attacking the US because of our anti Muslim stance.

Saw this on a website that had copied a screen shot from Twitter:
Eye-witness from #brusselsairport airport: after the first explosion people ran to get out, but in direction of second blast.

Molenbeek

Alex Jones sent his reporters in there. They were denied service at a resturant because they were white. Followed by cars and eventually threatened, chased out and told never to return.

One of the reporters is ex-military, a big brawny guy. He said he was as uncomfortable feeling as he'd ever been in combat.

Nope. Ding-Dong’s too loopy. Maybe Brutus. Our cat’s named
Brutus & she is a fartblossom full of vim, vigor & vitality.
(I started out naming her “Lambchop”; but the neighbor kids
heard me calling her & made fun of her.) (I had wondered why
she would not come home when I called her.) So, I tried her
on “Brutus”. She loved it & that’s her name. She will also
answer to “Cattbutt”; but that’s horrible. - I doubt Jim R
would tolerate a screen name like “Cattbutt”. Too risqué.

” It worked on euroweenies.

Will it work on Americans? “

Look at what Americans did in the last 2 POTUS elections. Sad to say, I think it will.

Apparently, there may have been muhamedans who fought in the Continental Army. Some of their names were Yusuf Ben Ali, Bampett Muhamed, Francis Saba and Joseph Saba. IF they were muhamedan and presuming that they had offspring, some of whom also presumably maintained their faith in the false god of muhamed, their offspring have a deeper claim to American roots than many on this board. Should DARs and SARs be part of the round up?

Until all moslems can all be deported to some other country, would you insist they have a green crescent sewn on their clothes? Should their shops have a green crescent painted on the front windows along with a sign that reads ‘muslim’? Do we hold them in concentration camps, oops, processing centres, until they can be sent somewhere? Presuming that some of the descendants, ten generations on, of the soldiers listed above, remain alive and muhamedan, where do you send them? What muhamedan country is going to accept a English-only speaking DAR or SAR back in their country? What is the final solution to the muhamedan question?

After the muhamedan question is resolved, what about the Mormons, after all, let’s not forget Mountain Meadows! Once they get a taste of power, they may revert back and start killing non-LDS! How about the Roman Catholics, those ‘dogans’? After all, how many died in the Inquisition? How about those accursed ‘Prots’, denying the ‘one true faith’! What about the Jews, the ‘Hebes’? They killed Jesus, after all! What about BLM? Do we then send them back to Africa?

Hyperbole? YES! To make a point. When pograms begin, where do they stop? How many died during the ‘Reign of Terror’ in France? Satan LOVES bloodshed and hate. Hate can be intoxicating and reinforces more hatred, it builds and builds and builds.

Obviously, something has to be done to stop terrorism, the vast majority of which is done in the name of mohamed’s false god. The one, true Living God however, tells us NOT to act in such a way. Throughout the Tanakh, the Hebrews were instructed to treat foreigners among them, rightly. Jesus confirms this dramatically in Luke 10:25-37, the parable of the good Samaritan.

This parable would have shocked the ‘expert in the law’ because Jews hated Samaritans for their syncretism and Samaritans hated Jews in return. The fact that a both a priest and a Levite crossed the road to avoid helping the victim would have insulted the ‘expert in the law’. Imagine his ire and insult when Jesus then spoke of a hated Samaritan being the one who went out of his way to help this unfortunate victim! Then, Jesus told him to do likewise. If we call ourselves Christian, how can we do less? Especially poignant, this being Holy Week, what did Jesus say on the Cross? “OK, Father, destroy my oppressors!”? No! Instead, He asked that the Father ‘forgive them for they know not what they do.’

Am I saying to let in all comers? Of course not! There is however, due process required to solve the problem. Restrict immigration to non-moslems only, return home those moslems without citizenship, SEND ILLEGALS HOME, build a fence on the Southern border, ENFORCE existing laws against hate speech INCLUDING the incitement to kill ‘infidels’ contained in the koran, hadiths and sunnahs. For the latter, enforce the law to the maximum, ensuring that no hate is preached. Of course, this is dependent upon leaders who will do what is necessary, in a just manner. Godly leaders are needed. Do I see such people stepping up in Western Europe, Canada or the US? Unfortunately not, in my opinion. My country is ‘led’ by a 44 year old professional student, a ‘paler’ version of your _resident, whose only job before politics, was teaching grade school for a couple of years, who does not have to call an election before October 21, 2019.

All such actions however, will be for nought, IF ‘Christendom’ refuses to turn back to the Lord, then all this effort is just vanities! In 1 Timothy 2, Paul exhorts us to pray for our leaders because God has put them in charge for a purpose. Perhaps this is our (Christendom’s) ‘chastisement’, only God knows. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says, ‘If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’ If we (Christendom) fail to heed this exortation, things will only get worse! For that to happen, we need to share the Gospel with a society that, in general, chooses to exclude, or often deny God.

It’s the people who keep letting them in en masse.

They’ll pay with their lives and/or the lives of others.

Well thought out argument. However, I personally, am beyond argument because the muslims living here will not come out publicly and condemn the violence. Deport all muslims.
