Um...im more than certain you are the second biggest joke on here after DuhFinch.That's what I thought, Pathetic Islamaphobe Goon. I've given you at least 5 chances to walk back your Houma Abedin/Iran Bullshit. Instead, you threaten to fight someone over the internet, your go to move when you got nothing. A total meat head washed up Goon. You're more and more a joke.
To hell with #solidarity. If Europe is willing to accept that Muslim terror is simply the new normal we can't afford to stay part of it

So that's it then, is it?
We lit up the Eiffel Tower, the Brandenburg Gate and the Trevi Fountain in the colours of the Belgian flag.
The usual suspects from Obama to Cameron to Hollande trotted out well-practised lines about showing solidarity with our Belgian neighbours.
Then the President of the United States, a keen advocate of the UK staying within the safety (*cough*) of the European Union, went off to watch the baseball with his new Cuban pals in the Castro regime.

Panic: A fire caused by one of the explosions in the terminal at Zaventem Airport in Brussels is tackled by airport staff with extinguishers surrounded by baggage and falling roof tiles
Terror is no longer something which shakes us into silence, cowers us into defeat. It is no longer surprising. We have given it appropriate responses, images, even its own vocabulary, enabling us to deal with it as if it were commonplace, something of the everyday.
We have normalised horror.
Whilst someone races to design a graphic to share online, others rush to own a hashtag, and a public space is designated for candles and tears, colouring or celebration.
People will talk about still taking the Underground home every day because otherwise the 'terrorists will win'.
.
I remember asking listeners of my radio show whether I should take my children to London's fireworks in light of the terror threats in Europe and the increase in armed forces on the streets. Many said I should go. That I should not give in.
And I admire their stoicism, of course. I don't believe in sick days and consider myself a fighter. After all, if you give in and lose your bravado, what is there left to defend yourself with?
But you know, I never took my children to see the sky light up that night.
I realised that if something happened to my children, my world would end. Given the choice of 'standing up to terror' or keeping my children safe, the argument was lost before it began.
And the people who say we must carry on as normal or the terrorists win are talking nonsense. Because the terrorists are winning. They won in Paris, they won in Brussels, they won on 7/7 and 9/11 and they will win again.

.
Airports today bear no resemblance to what was considered 'normal' 20 years ago. And after this they will no doubt feel even more locked-down, unfriendly and inconvenient.
You are not fighting back. You are just taking extraordinary risks and hoping for the best because no one else seems to be doing anything but sharing pictures and hashtags and solidarity — which are meaningless gestures.
People even used images of Belgium's famous peeing-boy urinating on ISIS to demonstrate their resilience, despite 34 dead, over 200 wounded and a nation hiding in their homes in fear.
Normalising terror has all been part of the ISIS agenda.
Their tentacles of power have reached out across Europe, making it normal for gay men to be thrown from buildings, encouraging us to watch as heads are sliced from bodies and small boys shoot grown men in the back of the head.
.
Men drowning in cages, women being stoned for being raped and dead men emptying into rivers of blood is something we can access on any news channel any day of the week.
And it is a thirst we now look to quench with the terror they wreak here on home soil. Minutes after the attacks on the airport at Brussels the first images appeared. The BBC was actively encouraging others to send in their footage so we could see people suffer, watch men bleed to death, see women terrified for their children.
And I questioned how belonging to these neighbouring nations made us safer. How we were better off in the European Union.
The sanctimonious said it was too early to politicise human suffering. But it was not too early for them to sit gawping at the pictures, to scramble to be the first to come up with a cartoon, to rush to own the drama, to find a public square to be part of the action.
The idea of fighting back, of resilience, of a nation being brought closer together is a popular one in the media. It plays to our desire for a happy ending, where boy gets girl and it's all happy ever after.
And perhaps I wanted to buy into that after Paris.
But this time I am sceptical. All I see is we have become so used to ISIS winning small battles and destroying life that we aren't going to open our eyes and notice when they storm over in greater numbers and win a war we never had the courage to fight.
Belgium is a sink hole for terror. It breeds extremists in Muslim enclaves, fuelled by imported imams with the most hellish interpretation of Islam.
It welcomed back jihadis from Syria to continue their fight within Europe, to colonise, take-over not integrate.
Muslims make up 26 per cent of metropolitan Brussels. The self-styled capital of Europe is now one of the most Islamic cities in Europe.
But on June 23 we really do have the opportunity - probably our last - to say never again. To get out, once and for all.

Tears: A woman weeps after people observed a minute silence at the Place De La Bourse in honour of the victims of yesterday's terror attacks in Brussels
.
After the Dutch floods of 1953 which killed 2,551 people, the country stood up and declared never again.
Never Again.
And since that day a nation which lies mostly below sea level has never been allowed to flood again, thanks to this real determination to find solutions to the problem.
It strikes me, instead of normalising terror, instead of accepting that an attack on the UK is inevitable, and instead of the Belgian president announcing 'What we knew would happen has happened', we need leaders who when they stand up and say 'Never again' actually mean it and come up with solutions.
Instead of increasing police presence to reassure us, we need action on the root causes.
.
Typically, the only man talking tough after yesterday's attacks was Donald Trump - who 'mainstream' politicians abhor and ignore.
We need to stop allowing jihadis to return to Europe, prevent extremist imams accessing young minds and spreading their religious brand of hate, and stop communities colonising parts of Europe where former generations of immigrants used to integrate.
Until then you can draw cartoons, light up the Eiffel Tower, start a hashtag and carry on catching the Underground all you want. You can even pretend you are standing up to the suicide bombers. You can even make out Islam is the religion of peace, as Channel 4 do on a nightly basis.
The Managing Editor of Channel 4 News tweeted me last night, asking if I would share a picture of the people of Belgium chalking words of defiance in the public square as if they were all suddenly infantilised by their impotence.
I refused.
Because, you see, you are not standing up to terror. You are normalising it. Giving it a shiny coat. Pretending it's all going to be OK because we know what to do when bad stuff happens.
We must not accept this terror as part of our everyday. We must look for strong leadership and implement obvious solutions.
ISIS are winning the battle. If we keep our heads in the sand, they will win the war for control of Europe, too.
.
Well somebody gets it. Is Katie Hopkins running for President?
The only thing they export is oil. And terror. They don't manufacture or grow anything. There's no reason for Egypt to import tons and tons of wheat. Their soil is better than Israel's. The GDP per capita in the Arab World is microbiotic. Tiny Finland produces almost as much as the entire Arab World combined.
But if we just get them here to the US, won't they become more peaceful?
Maybe we should refer this question to Guesser.
Guesser, if we just bring these sick barbaric psychos to the US and maybe send them to some Ivy educated academia shrink, can't we get them to get in touch with their inner feelings of peace and harmony, and they will become normal, productive peace loving American citizens?
[h=1]Heartwarming moment Mormon missionary's parents were reunited with their son who survived Brussels terrorist attack... after spending TWO YEARS apart[/h]
PUBLISHED: 12:48, 25 March 2016 | UPDATED: 18:23, 25 March 2016
This is the emotional moment that a Mormon missionary who survived the Brussels terrorist attacks was reunited with his parents in the hospital.
Mason Wells, 19, was one of at least a dozen Americans injured in the Tuesday attacks.
Following the bombings, is parents Kymberly and Chad Wells flew out to Belgium from Sandy, Utah to see their son and they broke down in tears as they saw him laying in his hospital bed, his face covered in bandages.
It was also the first time that Mason and his parents were all together in two years, since missionaries are not usually allowed to visit home during their two-year commitment.

Mason's reunion with his parents at the Belgian hospital marked the first time the parents and their son were all together in two years, since missionaries are not usually allowed to visit home
Wells was scheduled to fly back to the U.S. on Tuesday when the bombing happened, and he estimated he was just 10 to 15 meters away from the first bomb.
The teen suffered burns and shrapnel injuries to his face, arm and legs, as well as serious damage to one ankle, but doctors believe he will make close to a full recovery.
In an emotional interview, Mason recounted the attack in vivid detail, saying he was 'conscious for all of it'.
Mason and a group of three other missionaries were at the Delta check-in counter, standing in line, when the first bomb went off just steps away.
The teen had just taken out his iPad to read something when a 'really loud' blast 'came out of nowhere' and he felt a sensation of pain over the right side of his body.
'I was looking down and all of a sudden the huge blast came from my right. I believe my body was actually picked off the ground for a moment and my iPad was in my hands. I don't know what happened - it just disappeared. I think it actually might have hit me in the head when it got blasted out of my hands.

After the first blast, Mason says he felt his body get really hot and then suddenly cold as he was thrown to the ground
'My watch on my left hand just disappeared, my left shoe was just blown off and a large part of the right side of my body got really hot and then really cold and I was covered in a lot of fluids, a lot of blood. And a lot of that blood wasn't mine either,' Mason recalled.
The first blast knocked Mason to the ground, and that's when survival mode kicked in.
He says he and his group were surrounded by fire after the first explosion, so he looked for an exit and started to make a run for it and that's when the second bomb went off.
It took my body about a second, half a second, to realize it was a bomb that went off and of course my body was probably in complete physical shock.
'I knew that I had been wounded. I didn't know how bad it was.
'I located an exit and I started to run towards the doors that we came in through. I took a couple of steps about three or four seconds after the first blast [and] the second bomb went off.
'I actually felt the explosion on my right side. I could feel the blast, but I don't believe I was hit by anything, by any shrapnel,' Mason said.
Amazingly, this was Mason's third brush with death. The teen was just a block away from the finish line during the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings (which his mother ran in) and he was in France during the November terror attacks.

When asked how he feels after surviving the Belgian bombings, Mason said his main emotion is love for the other victims.
'I was so lucky, I was so lucky, being how close I was. And I saw a lot of people that were injured worse. I heard a lot of people that were injured badly.

'I was so lucky, I was so lucky, being how close I was. And I saw a lot of people that were injured worse. I heard a lot of people that were injured badly.
My only thought, my only feelings, are just for the people that are out there. I hope that they're doing OK...I've been praying for them since it happened,' Mason said.
In a phone interview with Good Morning America, Mason spoke about how his faith had got him through these terrible experiences.
'My faith is something that’s my whole life,' Mason said. 'It’s sustained me and it’s something that’s been built upon even by these experiences.'
'My parents always told me that everything happens for a reason and I don’t know why I was in those places,' Mason said. 'I’ve been in certain places when certain things happen. The only message I would have is that I believe that God, he has a plan that’s a lot bigger for us than maybe we may imagine.'
'I think that there’s only one person that could have helped me stay as calm as I did and that would be God.
'The peace and calm that I was able to feel, it was something that was beyond just the physical shock of my body.'
Mason was with three other missionaries when the bombings happened - 20-year-old Joseph Empey of Santa Clara, California; 66-year-old Richard Norby of Lehi, Utah; and 20-year-old French missionary Fanny Rachel Clain.
Empey was treated for second-degree burns to his hands, face and head.
He had surgery Tuesday for shrapnel injuries to his legs, but his family said in a statement that he is recovering, grateful and in good spirits.
Clain was in a different location at the airport when the bombs went off, and was hospitalized with minor injuries.
Norby appeared to be the most severely injured in the blasts, and remains in a medically-induced coma.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued a statement on Wednesday, saying Norby underwent a lengthy surgery to fix shrapnel trauma to his leg and second-degree burns to his head and neck.
He is expected to remain in the coma for a few days.
