That's a serious problem in and of itself. The dangers of Islamic immigration go far beyond terrorism.

and opportunities also... The Western church has been indifferent or too frightened to deal with the plight of Muslims trapped in a false religion and failed cultures for way too long. If the Christian will not go to Mohammed then bring Mohammed to the Christian.

The attack in Ankara was a mistake by the Kurds. The PKK is not Marxist ( Democratic confederalist with a strong focus on equality for example for women is better). But NATO and the EU regards them as terrorists. Though sympathetic to the cause of Kurdish nationalism I do not agree with terrorism.

calling it a mistake is like calling it work place violence.

call it what it is.

the work of evil people.

There is no such thing as "evil people". Only evil influences.

Why not islamists?

They are the recruitment pool for the jihadists.

They think bashing a woman's head in with rocks for sex crimes (like having sex) is OK. They espouse gender apartheid and domestic violence including honor killings.

Anyone who espouses Islamic Sharia law over the secular based legal system of a non-Islamic country should never be allowed to migrate to a non-Islamic country.

It's the islamists that think it's OK for the jihadists to kill you. Or at least won't say anything about it.

The Western church isn't even dealing with it's own culture. How is it going to convince Muslims that it has something better on offer than Islam when it doesn't seem to believe that itself?

If the Christian will not go to Mohammed then bring Mohammed to the Christian.

I see the danger, where is the opportunity? Remember, the Christian won't go to Mohammed largely because he doesn't want to die.

Not even three posts in and the blame the victim crowd vomits in this thread. Reprehensible.

God have mercy.
One bomb failed to explode. And one terrorist dropped his explosives and ran. I wonder if he's being hunted by his fellow ISIS members for backing out?

Good question. If they did kill him how would we know?

There's a prayer group in chat right now holding Brussels in prayer. There's also a post on Prayer Wall forum asking people to consider collaborating on a specific date and time where we can get into the chat all at once and do a group prayer. FYI. :) I know you're there now. This is in hopes others of sincere heart will join now or post in the Prayer Wall post their ideal time and date to do a group thing.

Donald Trump Finds New City to Insult: Brussels

“There is something going on, Maria,” he said. “Go to Brussels. Go to Paris. Go to different places. There is something going on and it’s not good, where they want Shariah law, where they want this, where they want things that — you know, there has to be some assimilation. There is no assimilation. There is something bad going on.”

Warming to his theme, he added that Brussels was in a particularly dire state. “You go to Brussels — I was in Brussels a long time ago, 20 years ago, so beautiful, everything is so beautiful — it’s like living in a hellhole right now,” Mr. Trump continued.



Trump l'avait bien dit!

There are 3 main types of Muslim. Jihadists (what we saw in Belgium), Islamists (Sharia supporters), and the Tolerable Muslims (anime & Oreo types with western values).

Neither jihadists nor islamists should be allowed into the west. Let them rot where they are.
What happened to Ahmadiyyas? Honestly, I see little problem with them. Why aren't we inviting them in? They face persecution. Shias are a minority in many countries. And Ibadis, which are common in Oman. And finally there are the Sufis, who emphasize asceticism.

Touche indeed, nothing says, "I'm mentally unable to come up with an argument" like breaking Godwins law.
I don't think it says that at all. I thought it clever considering the context, history, and the rhetoric which drew the response. At any rate, unlike most breaking of Godwin's, this time there was a direct connection to the reference. Subtle but obvious as it was.

In an ad campaign that aired two months beforeTuesday’s terrorist attacks, the tourism department of Brussels ridiculed the notion that the city was violent or prone to terrorist violence.

The city set up a series of phones that people could call from all around the world and have everyday people in Brussels answer. “Did you see some people who are fighting with guns or bombs?” one caller asks.

“No!” the person who answered the phone laughs. “Oh my god, no way!”

“After Brussels was linked to terror plots, the international media portrayed the city as a warzone,” the ad read. “We wanted to change this perception with an honest answer.”

“Is it safe for this moment?” another caller asks.

“Of course it’s safe, it’s very safe,” the Belgian answers.

Sometimes fear can be a healthy thing.
