It must be those Christian terrorists again.
COEXIST my fat ass.
When will Europe learn?
Islam is an ideology of death, murder and destruction.

Just four months after the tragic attacks in Paris, Europe was once again the epicenter of a terrorist mass murder, when several deadly explosions this morning rocked Brussels, first hitting the international airport and then a metro station near the European Union institutions, resulting in dozens of casualties and over a hundred wounded in what Belgian authorities moments ago labeled as terrorist attacks.
The first explosions Tuesday morning hit the city’s main airport outside a security check. According to Reuters, at least 10 people have reportedly been killed although estimates in social media range as high as 17, and dozens were wounded after two blasts ripped through Zaventem airport. Brussels police said that Zaventem’s great hall was targeted in the blast, but they couldn’t confirm the number of the victims in the attack. “There was an explosion, but we cannot say more,” a police spokesperson said.
A suicide bomber was responsible for one of the blasts, Belgian broadcaster VRT said. Three suicide belts packed with explosives have been found at the Brussels airport by police, local TV reported.
Reports also suggest that first there was a shot fired in the departure hall, then something was called out in Arabic, and only afterward, two explosions rocked the facility.
A person briefed on the incident said two devices exploded inside the airport outside the security check and that more than 100 people had been injured. Smoke could be seen rising from the airport in the aftermath of the explosions.
According to preliminary reports, one of the explosions took place near the American Airlines check-in desk. A government source confirmed to VRT broadcaster that it was an attack, while Anke Fransen, spokeswoman for Brussels Airport, said there were multiple injuries. “We can confirm that there have been two explosions in the departure hall. We called the emergency services on the ground – they [are] now provid[ing] first aid to the injured.”
Niels Caignau, flight watcher at Swissport, told Radio 1 that he heard an explosion at around 8:00 a.m. local time. “The windows outside the departure hall are completely shattered. Many people have run out with tears in [their] eyes. We were advised to stay indoors.”
No planes are landing at Brussels Airport which is in lockdown, and planes are being diverted to Antwerp. Planes are circling over the city of Liege. Sky News Middle East correspondent Alex Rossi, who was at the airport en route to Tel Aviv, has tweeted that he could “feel the buildings move.”
Belgian officials immediately raised the terror alert across the country. As the WSJ adds, police have closed the access road leading to the airport and police and ambulances were rushing to the scene. The airport began evacuating the building where the explosions took place and an official warned people not to come to the area. “Don’t come to the airport—airport is being evacuated. Avoid the airport area. Flights have been cancelled,” the airport said.
Airlines said they were diverting inbound flights. Europe’s air-traffic management organization Eurocontrol on Tuesday warned airlines that the airport was unavailable “until further notice.”

The third explosion struck just after 9 a.m. local time struck Maelbeek metro station, very near the heart of the European quarter in Brussels, home to the EU institutions.
According to preliminary local police reports cited by RT, at least 10 people were killed. The explosion took place less than an hour after a deadly airport bombing, which killed at least 17 people. Large amounts of smoke have been seen coming out of the metro station in the Belgian capital. Brussels’ transport authority says all metro stations in the city have been closed, Reuters reports.
Minutes after the blast at Maalbeek, a second explosion is reported to have taken place at the near-by Schuman metro station. Images on social media have shown passengers being evacuated from inside the metro and walking along the train tracks. The Maalbeek station is also near a number of important EU buildings such as Berlaymont building, which houses the EU Commission and the Council of the European Union.
Staff working at the EU commission have also been told to stay indoors. Belgian authorities have raised the security alert to the highest level following blasts at the Zaventem Airport and Maalbeek Metro station.
All trains to and from Brussels have been suspended and the airport will remain closed until at least Wednesday.

“Hillary just blamed today’s bombing on a video deemed offensive by peaceful Muslims.”
Well, maybe she thinks that worked for her after the Benghazi slaughter.
On this thread, J.Quinn predicted almost exactly that very move by Hitlery @ 11:17 today.
But what really happened to building 7??
Hi Admin,
I will admit you also make me feel warm and fuzzy all over.
As I have said before I have spent mothes in Moslem countries and disliked all of them to varying degrees.
I agree that we should do all we can to screen out potential terrorists.
If you think Canada is free of Moslems you are seriously ignorant, even for an American.
So instead of your boring default attempts at insullt how about answering the question: how will a renewed indiscriminate war on Moslems going to improve American security?
History shows that small committed forces can always get through the tightest security. Sorry, I realize that it is an American perogative to ignore history but it might be time to give it a try, given that irregular forces have been defeating the American military for about fifty years or so.
Cdubs
If you ever read for comprehension, you would know I agree 100% with Ron Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy. I’ve been against all US illegal military invasions in the Middle East and believe poking a hornets nest of religious nutjobs is foolish.
I also have come to believe Islam is an ideology of hate, violence and evil. They have given us no choice but to treat them as potential enemies. I judge people by their actions, not their propaganda. We should protect our borders from invasion by illegals.
I treat commenters with the same respect they earn. I consider you a narrow minded asshole based upon your arrival on this site. I will treat you accordingly.
Hey Cdub, why don’t you just lurk here for a few months and read posts and comments………even read the older archived posts and comments.
You hurl insults and spout shit as if we all just fell off the turnip truck. You will not find a better read or aware group of people on any other internet forum than right here on TBP.
As far as opinions you find here to disagree with…….fuck off! Here in what’s left of ‘Murica we still have this little thing called free speech. With it comes the freedom to be offended by it.
Blow us!
Cdubbya @ 6:01 PM
Hey dumbass, if you think the American Miltary has been beaten in the last several years you’re a fucking retard. Took out the Taliban in a nine months when the Russian military took a decade and still lost. The best defense is a good offense. It’s not hard to figure out motherfucker. Maybe Brusss should have flexed muscles, ya think?
“Maybe Brussels should have flexed thier muscles, ya think?”, I mean.
Better to fight in the field than on your home ground.
What say you?
Mike- What DID happen to building 7 (?)
One thing is for SURE, it did not come down at near free fall speed in it’s own footprint from fire.
Unplugged, how many hundred $billuon did the US pump into Afghanistan? How many dead? How many crippled US soldiers?
The US military is gone and the Taliban are still there, in control of much of the country, biding their time…
Same questions for Iraq, and how did Vietnam work out for you?
Hey Indentured, thanks for your thoughtful and respectful reply. As for your claim that TBP is a haven for America’s “well-read and aware” I am still waiting to see the evidence.
If Unplugged is anything to go be your assessment is highly dubious.
Reading comments here reveal an extremely narrow range of opinion who energetically attack anyone who expresses a different opinion or, God forbid, asks for an explanation.
Read Ann Barnhardt.She is spot on. That terrorist cult is sick under the guise of peace.Trump spot on as well deport them all close the boarders!

Cdubbya:
I am not a neocon. Hindsight is 20/20. But the truth is, the US Military did kick the Taliban’s ass in a few months.
Also – our success in Iraq frightened the Iranian mullahs until the American Democrats won in 2006. And when Democrat Harry Reid, as Senate Majority Leader, announced to the world: “America lost the war in Iraq”, then the Iranian clerics were afraid no more.
Sadly, (contrary to Hillary’s viewpoint) when the Islamist / Arab countries are contained militarily, Americans can fear less regarding Islamic terrorism on U.S soil.
But, fortunately for the Islamic radicals, Barack Obama is our president.
How would Cdubbya do things differently to protect American citizens? Please do tell and don’t be afraid to offer specific solutions (in lieu of whining like a little bitch).
What say you?
Cdubb, you’re way off base. Narrow range of opinion? We argue about everything. So much for lockstep. We don’t attack people with different opinions, we attack people with stupid opinions. In this case, it’s you.
Every time there is a Mohammedan bombing in the civilized world 100 mosques should be hit by a two thousand pound bomb during Friday prayers. That would encourage mohammedans to evangelize in a more peaceful manner. If not there would be fewer of them to watch. This is not a war of choice but it is an existential war. We have to kill them until they quit fighting.
This shit will not end until the decent men and women of the EU start going after the traitor gov’t officials that imported these murderous third world troglodytes. Until that time, they can whine and cry victim all they want to and they deserve everything they get unless they fight back.
Europe is loaded with lampposts that desperately need decoration, and ivory tower necks that need a good stretching. Hate the Muzzies all you like, but don’t forget who the real enemies are.
Cdubbya
You don’t seem like a dummy but you’re arrogant. I think the suggestion to lurk and read for a while is a good one.
So here’s a suggestion/advice: Around here incoming profanity is generally the result out of outgoing presumption mixed with arrogance. In safe spaces you would be asked to check you privilege at the door. Here there are no safe spaces for either the foolish or the arrogant and the only thing you need to check at the door is your assumptions.
As the late Flash was so fond of saying: You read but you do not comprehend. This is a free speech zone. Comprehend yet?
Cdubbya,
BTW – there are quite a few Canadians reading and posting here – so Admin’s reference to the country being lily white is not a sign of his ignorance (if you’d been reading here for any real length of time you would know this already) but rather it is his unique NJ way of pulling your strings and trying to get under your skin. Apparently it worked. Grow some thicker skin quickly or you will not last with this crowd. Your arrogance is little more than weakness poorly disguised and if you keep it up this pack will devour you like a lame fawn.
cliff….on the money; the Mosques are where terrorism is preached.
Cdubbya: We didn’t go into Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, we went in to gain control of the opium trade. Which we’ve done with spectacular success.
You didn’t REALLY think it was about freedumb and nation building and fighting terrorists, did you?
And BTW: we don’t win decisive battles any more not because our soldiers are weak or because our military tactics fighting insurgents are defective, but because winning means an end to the MIC gravy train. They don’t CARE how many of our kids get crippled, or how many brown people we kill, it is all about maintaining eternal conflict so as to maintain eternal profits for the MIC. If you haven’t yet, read Smedley Butler’s War Is A Racket.
For the record, very, very few people on TBP believe much that the gov’t says or trust what it does. We love our country, but its leaders and their actions, not so much. Calling TBPers neocons is about as naive as it gets.
The vast majority of TBP readers and writers are INTJs, look it up. It is a personality type that questions everything, and is always looking for more meaning, more truth. An eternal quest for the ultimate reality. That isn’t to say that we don’t get bogged down in stupid sometimes, but you will rarely find people here that are in lockstep with the official narrative fed the sheep. What works in the Yahoo comments section won’t work here.
Read a while and contribute when you have something to say, but don’t come out with both guns blazing until you learn the ropes. Stick around, but change your approach a bit, or we’ll all end up missing out (you on fitting in here, us on having you here).
Francis @ 8:45 PM says: “As the late Flash was so fond of saying.”
Why the “late Flash”? Did he flounce or something? What did I miss? Just curious
flash hit the road like a mangy cur because he’s a pussy. I questioned his Christian credentials and his worthless cut and paste jibberish.

Where the fuck you been livin’ dumbass…….under a rock? Spending money is the whole point of fucking war. It enriches the true owners of this planet……the bankers by loaning all that money……….hundreds of billions and now trillions of dollars into existence. Get with the fucking program! It has nothing to with right or wrong or who has the biggest dick……….it’s all about da Benjamin’s!
Anon above was I.
Admin @ 9:32 PM – thanks for the update. Butthurt sucks. Oh well. It’s the free-flowing debate of ideas that matters most, I guess. It must have been a wild thread. I’ll find it at some point. Still in “catch-up mode” currently.

Hey Cdub, Unplugged is just a butt plug that fell out of its owner——>Caitlin Jenner I think. Unplugged is also the ass clown formerly known as JFish. (I’s likes to call him Candiru Fish the Urethra Swimmer) Pay him no mind. Admin already threatened to ban his dumb ass so he changed his name a dozen times and tries to stay under admins radar but the stupid is strong in him he can’t mask it no matter how hard he tries. Ed is a close second.
Like I said, lurk for a bit before diving in and making assumptions about the regulars here. People here tend towards the anarchy end of the spectrum and if left to our own devices, sans govt interference, could and likely would live in peace together without a govt. We are the real .01%!
Cdubb…avoid the clap that’s good advice (people here are being kind to you given your arrogance)
Obama shortly after learning about the Brussels terror attacks. Doing the wave with a murdering communist dictator.

Hey Indented Suckasss: Fuck you.
Regarding Afghanistan, the opium trade, the war machine’s lust for greenbacks, etc – I still believe the best defense is a good offense when it comes to the ragheads.
Tell me where I’m wrong. If you can’t, please take a few selfies of yourself in front of a mushroom cloud over an American city in the near future and post it on TBP.
Also know that you and I have a date with destiny…
T4C posting uncut Barnhart in the Jihadi post, priceless.

Since I fucked up and read one of your comments I figured I’d reply. The closest you’ll get to a date with me will be to tongue my fart box after I eat some fast food from that Wendy’s restaurant that nearly killed Stucky.
Date with destiny……..bwahahaha. In your dreams dipshit!
“Also know that you and I have a date with destiny…”
Good grief.
Ok – I normally make it a policy to never, ever interfere in shit flinging between two posters (poo stinks and I hate getting hit with it) but this goes down (in the annals of the TBP flames) as probably the cheesiest, most moronic flame ever. You should be embarrassed. Shit – I’m embarrassed for you….
I thought it was kind of romantic. My bad…
If there were more bombs found. Why is it that none in the media heard the good guys blowing them up? I mean that’s the 1st thing they do when they find something like that. So if they lie about that. What else are they not telling us..?
Rose:
For the record I have never used the word ‘neocon’ at this site, dont know where you got that.
Yes, war-making by America is all about enriching the owners of the MIC (and lets not forget or discount the 100s of thousands of Americans working in the MIC), it is no longer about enhancing American security or (dont laugh) fostering global peace and justice, so why do so many people here call for more war against people in the Middle East?
You claim people here are looking for meaning, you could have fooled me – scan the comments for this article alone, see if you can find anyone who is asking “was there anything that the west might have done over the last century that might make these people want to do this?” or “has our strategy of causing 100 of thousands of deaths in countries before they become failed states served the best interests of America?” Asking these questions is not a sign of weakness, it indicates a sincere openness to understand what motivates extremism.
Instead what you get is an endless stream of puerile anti-Islam hate speech. This is not a discussion of an event, it is a mutual wank-fest of shared bigotries.
Seems “everyone” is very keen on whoever becomes President next, having a “War on Islam”.
Might be a good idea at his stage to note how very well America’s “Wars on Everything” have worked out – War on Drugs, War on Alcohol (Prohibition), War on Poverty . . . .
You’d be better off having a “War on Western Values” – on the basis of past outcomes, the actual (vs. desired) result would be pretty stellar 🙂
(It might help a lot if, instead of bombing the ME, America makes an effort to REBUILD what you have bombed. I’m sure the “Connected” could make plenty of money out of such a programme – after all there are plenty of past examples of jaw-dropping ÜS Government” wastage in Afghanistan for example, and you might be able to “rebuild” some respect for American Interventionism along the way . . . .
