Two killed in Belgian anti-terror raid

[Bozza]

Just returned from Syria and kitted out with guns and stuff, taken out by the police ahead of what was expected to be a major terrorist attack.

Similar raids going on in Brussels by all accounts.

If they're planning on coming by train we'll be fine.

I'm afraid it's almost inevitable that these sort of attacks will happen on our soil.

I try to look ahead to see any hope that this 'Radical' Islamist problem will be defused, but somehow I can't see it. We have all the signs of a long, escalating and hugely dangerous issue festering. This needed to be nipped in the bud, it wasn't and now we are left with the consequences.
This business in Paris has already started to spread like some nasty disease, which I guess is what it is. For me, leading Muslims need to be more proactive in their criticism of radicals, and much more vociferous in their support of the societies which they now call home. If not, I fear citizens will start to condemn all Muslims with dire consequences....worrying.

The Belgian police need to upgrade their cap guns.

Well, you can go about your daily life looking over your shoulder, I'll just go about mine the same as I did yesterday.

Or they've won.

The bad news. The daits . communityger from terror seems to be getting worse not better.

I don't understand why we are trying to prevent people leaving to fight in syria etc, surely we should let them go and then prevent them from returning?

it is a mad state of affairs,the very least we should be looking into if we identify people as having gone out there to fight with IS is revoking their citizenship.Jailing them for a few years on their return not only just delays the possibility they will carry out an attack when free it also allows them to radicalise others in prison.

Let Al-Baghdadi issue them with IS citizenship and passport and see how they get on with that.Ideally someone will drop a Hellfire missile on their head whilst out there though.
