Brussels Terror Attacks

The aim of terrorism is to create terror after all.  The more the target population is effected and altered afterwards, the more the terrorists like it.  The 24/7 coverage of the attacks is, of course, inevitable but it must play as music to the ears to the plotters of those awful crimes.

It's not going to happen but i wonder if the media stoically ignored the terrorist attacks in Europe, apart from the merest mention (like it was a terrorist attack in Baghdad or Kabul), would this reduce the impact of the attack on the rest of the population, is there a chance that just carrying on with our lives like very little has happened would wipe the smile off the faces of the evil people who commit these atrocities?

I was thinking along those lines earlier this week Highgate, the broadcasters all sent their big guns over to Belgium because we can't understand the gravity of the situation unless an aforementioned big gun is in situ in the middle of people paying respects.  :pinch:

That lead me to my second thought, television cameras and large numbers of people all in one fairly small area, an ideal opportunity for these cowards set set off another suicide attack live on television for mass outrage/exposure for their cause. If this ever happens and let's hope it doesn't, maybe then the broadcasters might rethink their strategy on these shocking events.

Yeah that would be an ideal target for them, to gain maximum effect.  They would consider it an enormous 'victory'.  They want to terrorize us, and whenever they do set off a bomb, we comply by heightening the terror and tension to the maximum, with non stop coverage.  We just seem to be playing right into their hands.

Went to Brussels about 3 years ago to watch Scotland. Loved the city centre around Grand Place and had lots of little side streets with small bars and restaurants selling the best white beer.

The atmosphere completely changed in the Metro on the way to the Hysel. The further out of the centre we got the more the demographic changed.

You could feel the tension between the different cultures amongst the Belgians. 

Its very similar to the suburbs of Paris on the way to St Denis.

Significant parts of UK cities are divided demographically, we just bury our head in the sand and pretend it is not a long term societal problem. Sensible immigration should encourage and lead to assimilation. If the numbers are too large or the arrivals unwilling then you will have ghettoisation. I can't think of much things worse than the banlieues of Paris being replicated across Europe. Hardly progress.

I am in Malmo in 2 or 4 weeks time, the rape capital of Europe. It is a very different place if you step off the beaten track. Ambulances don't even enter certain areas without police escort.

But what is moderate islam?

Im a good way through the quran and it's been tough going so far, if the book I'm reading and the life of their prophet really is what muslims live their lives by then we are in serious trouble and it explains everything that is going on in the world and more importantly, this country.

Don't worry, the other works of fiction are just as bad... However, L Ron Hubbard almost did a good job.

It's a laugh a minute, not funny when you realise they're teaching it in schools and mosques up and down the country.

It's really not that bad. We have always faced a terror threat of some sorts, a very small percentage of 0.01 of people of that faith are tainted, doesn't mean that's it's everyone and that mosques "up and down" the country are teaching it. Or Anywhere else in the world, you also fail to mention that the highest count of the IS terror victims are actually muslim. So take a snickers break.

So if you are in the Army, you know that there has always been counter measures in the UK and no mosque would preach hate? like any church or temple should.

Very true, think they need a New Testament. I can't remember being told not to trust people of other religions or have them as friends in my CofE school assemblies.

I remember being told how good David was with that sling of his and how kind JT was when everyone else turned the other cheek.
