Donald J. Trump
My heart & prayers go out to all of the victims of the terrible #Brussels tragedy. This madness must be stopped, and I will stop it.
[h=1]'The terrorists are winning' Donald Trump HITS OUT at leaders for FAILING to tackle ISIS[/h][h=3]DONALD Trump has claimed the horrific Brussels attacks are evidence that warped terrorists are "totally winning" the war against the West.[/h]
Depraved Islamic State jihadists murdered 34 people and injured a further 230 in the Belgian capital yesterday morning.
Discussing the attacks for the first time, Mr Trump vowed to tackle terrorism if he wins the race to become US President later this year.
The mogul, who earlier this year branded Brussels a "hellhole" with "no assimilation", said: "The terrorists are making us look like fools."
Mr Trump also slammed Angela Merkel's liberal immigration policy, claiming Germany has become a "disaster" and "catastrophe" under her premiership.
He said: "What she has done to Germany is unbelievable, what’s going on over there. There's so many other places.
"In Sweden you have an area [Stockholm, the capital] that is catastrophic – so, so dangerous. And you say to yourself, what are we doing? What are we doing?"
And he claimed "the terrorists" will cause Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic candidate, to lose the election.
He told Breitbart: "She's weak on borders. She's weak on crime. She's weak on anything having to do with controversy other than controversy with herself.
"She's weak on the police. She's weak on anything having to do with strength. Hillary is so weak on the borders that it will end up costing her the election in my opinion."

Research from Oxford University confirms the importance of social networks, showing friends or peers played a primary role in the recruitment of three-quarters of foreign fighters to Isis. Family members accounted for a fifth of recruits, while mosques were thought to be responsible for just one in 20.

[h=2]Brussels’ jihadis[/h]Militants involved in many of the most high-profile attacks in Europe and beyond in recent decades have come from the city, spent time there or used its thriving black markets to look for weapons and associates.
Below are details of some of these men and women and the attacks they planned or participated in – from al-Qaida’s 9/11 assault on America and the 2004 Madrid bombings, to the Charlie Hebdo and November 2015 attacks in Paris.
Abdessatar Dahmane – assassination of top anti-Taliban commander
Dahmane was part of a suicide team who posed as Moroccan journalists toassassinate Afghan anti-Taliban commander Ahmad Shah Massoud days before the 9/11 attacks. Before leaving for Afghanistan, Dahmane was a regular at an Islamic Centre in Molenbeek and met Malika el-Aroud, who later became his wife, at a tram stop in the city.
Malika el-Aroud – recruiting militants
El-Aroud travelled with Dahmane to Afghanistan for the attack, but later returned to Europe and in 2010 was sentenced for terrorism charges. She was given eight years in jail for leading a group that recruited militants to fight in Afghanistan. Seven other suspects were convicted along with her.
Nizar Trabelsi – planned attack on Nato base
A former footballer of Tunisian origin, Trabelsi was detained in Uccle on the outskirts of Brussels days after the 9/11 attacks. He was accused of terror links, including meeting Osama bin Laden in 2001, and eventually sentenced to 10 years in jail for planning to attack a Nato base. In 2013 he was extradited to the US to face charges of plotting to kill Americans abroad.
Hassan el-Haski – Madrid and Casablanca bombings
A Spanish judge sentenced Haski to 14 years in jail for belonging to a terrorist organisation, in connection with the March 2004 attacks on Madrid. He was later transferred to Morocco to stand trial for a role in the 2003 Casablanca bombings that killed 40 people. He had spent time in Brussels at the start of the decade, after his brother who was also put on trial for terrorist links, settled there illegally.
Mehdi Nemouche – 2014 attack on Brussels Jewish museum
Nemouche gunned down four people at the Jewish museum in Brussels. He was a French national but chose Brussels for his attack and reportedly used a small room in Molenbeek as his base before the killing spree, French paper Libération reported.
He was radicalised in French jails, and later spent time fighting in Syria, where he was among the brutal captors of a group of French journalists.
Amedy Coulibaly – Charlie Hebdo attacks
Coulibaly killed four people in a Parisian kosher grocery store, and a policewoman. He got his own guns in Molenbeek, plus some of those used by Chérif and Saïd Kouachi in their attacks on satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Ayoub el-Khazzani – attempted attack on Thalys train
Khazzani tried to open fire with a Kalashnikov on a Thalys train but was overpowered by passengers including off-duty US soldiers. He had set off from Molenbeek, and is believed to have lived there for a while.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud and Abdeslam brothers – Paris attacks
Abaaoud, the suspected planner behind the Paris killings, grew up in Molenbeek, as did the Abdeslam brothers. They became perhaps the most notorious of the suicide attackers after Salah went on the run in the wake of the bloodshed. All of the men had run-ins with police forces in the past before embracing extremism.
The remains of suicide bomber Brahim Abdeslam were buried in Molenbeek the day before police captured Saleh. The only surviving attacker from the Paris carnage was taken in just a few hundred metres from the apartment where he grew up, apparently sheltered for months by a network of friends and associates.

PIERS MORGAN: When it comes to terror, isn’t it time we started listening seriously to Trump?
By PIERS MORGAN FOR MAILONLINE
PUBLISHED: 19:11, 22 March 2016 | UPDATED: 21:58, 22 March 2016
How many more?
That’s all I could think this morning as news broke of yet another ISIS terror attack, this time in Brussels.
How many more innocent men, women and children are going to be blown to pieces by these murderous bastards?
How many more airports, train stations, sports stadiums, restaurants or concert halls will be obliterated in a hail of suicide bombs and bullets?
How many more world leaders will wring their hands on national television afterwards and spout pointless platitudes about the ‘poor brave victims’ and ‘heroic emergency services’?
How many taunting, gleeful claims of responsibility will the despicable perpetrators of these evil crimes be able to issue?
I’m sick of this, aren’t you?
Sick of feeling sick about such endless, senseless barbarism.
And the worst thing about it is that I see no end.

Aftermath: Small fires burn amid the rubble, fallen ceiling tiles and abandoned luggage minutes after two bombs were detonated in the departure area of Brussels Airport this morning

The inherent problem which causes it, chaotic war-torn instability in the Middle East, is getting worse, not better; just as the financial and military resource of the enemy is growing greater, not reducing.
Yet just as the world is crying out for strong decisive leadership, there is none.
America has a demob happy President Obama eeking out his last few months in office. A man whose infamous ‘leading from behind’ philosophy to foreign policy has been partly responsible for the war in Syria raging uncontrollably for five years – allowing fundamentalism to ferment.
Obama has zero interest in doing anything tangible to really deal with ISIS. This is now parked in the tray marked ‘next president’s problem.’
Europe, meanwhile, is splintering at the seams, ravaged by an unprecedented migration crisis that nobody seems to have a clue how to handle.
German chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to let a million migrants into its country is already seen to be an utter disaster.

I interviewed Trump this morning on my UK morning TV show GMB where he gave his views on the attacks and what should be done to stop ISIS

Victims: Emergency services treat an unknown casualty of the metro bomb blast this morning
France, reeling from two horrendous attacks in Paris, is understandably highly fearful of yet more terror coming its way.
Belgium officials effectively conceded today that they have no real way to protect themselves against the ISIS threat. A fact surely born out by the fact that today’s onslaught in Brussels happened right when the city most expected it, following the capture of Paris attacks suspect Saleh Abdeslam three days ago.
Britain, surely a target anytime soon, is on red alert but its warring politicians are too distracted by the upcoming EU referendum in June to pay anything more than lame lip service to terrorism.
So nobody seems to be doing anything concrete to stop ISIS, or even suggesting a new way to do so given the spectacular lack of success to date.
Well almost nobody.
By coincidence, I had an interview scheduled today with the world’s most controversial man, Donald Trump, for my UK show, Good Morning Britain.
It was set up a couple of weeks ago, but the timing was eerily prescient.
Here is one man who definitely has a plan to deal with ISIS terrorism. Several plans in fact.
The problem is that people don’t like them. Well, a lot of people don’t anyway.
Trump, current front-runner for the Republican nomination, wants to hit ISIS ‘so hard they never recover’.
(As he told me: ‘You've got to take them out and you've got to take them out harshly and you've got to take them out fast.’)
He also wants a short-term ban on Muslims entering the U.S. until, as he puts it, ‘we figure out what the hell is going on?’
And he wants to torture suspects like Abdeslam with techniques like water-boarding to try and extract information about future attacks.
Oh, and he wants to build a giant wall to stop illegal immigrants pouring over the Mexican border into America.

Captured: Belgian police detain two suspected terrorists soon after the explosion at the metro
George Clooney hit out at Trump yesterday, as he endorsed Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton for the presidency, saying: ‘If you listen to the loudest voices out there today, you'd think we're a country that hates Mexicans, hates Muslims, and thinks that committing war crimes is the best way to make America great again.’
I spoke to Trump for 40 minutes. He was, as you’d expect, bombastic, defiant and self-congratulatory. Why wouldn’t he be? He’s ripped up every political rulebook to take this presidential race by storm, a scenario that is hardly going to deflate the ego of New York’s most cock-sure billionaire tycoon.
But he also spoke in more detail about his plans to combat ISIS and I found myself nodding more than I expected.
Trump told me countries must tighten their borders in light of these terror attacks, especially to anyone related to an ISIS fighter in Syria.
Is he so wrong?
He told me he wants law-abiding Muslims to root out the extremists in their midst, expressing his bafflement and anger that someone like Abdeslam was able to hide for so long in the very part of Brussels he had previously lived.
Is he so wrong?
He told me America must make it far harder for illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. and thinks European countries should follow suit.
Is he so wrong?
He told me he believes there are now areas of many major European cities which have become poisonous breeding grounds for radicalized Islamic terror.
Is he so wrong?
I didn’t feel I was talking to a lunatic, as many seem to view Trump.
I saw a guy, a non-politician unfettered by PC language restraints, who is genuinely furious at the devastation which ISIS is wreaking, and seriously concerned for the security of his fellow Americans and indeed, the citizens of Europe.
(Remember, Trump’s from New York and felt the horror of 9/11 very personally and very deeply like all New Yorkers.)
His plans for tackling this extraordinarily dangerous threat to the world have been widely condemned as ‘bigoted’ and ‘racist’.
But although I publicly criticised him for the Muslim short-term ban suggestion, I’ve known Trump for ten years and I don’t believe he’s a racist.
I think he’s someone who has spent his life responding to metaphorical punches on his nose by punching even harder back.
And right now, he firmly believes that ISIS will murder countless more Americans and Europeans if somebody somewhere doesn’t stand up and punch them hard in the face.
Someone prepared to stop spewing politically-correct niceties after these attacks, hoping nobody gets offended, and actually DO something.
Let’s be honest with ourselves, right now ISIS is winning this war and will continuing committing utter carnage on our streets on an ever graver and more barbaric scale until they are stopped.
I don’t have the answers to how to do that.
But I don’t hear any good ideas coming from any world leaders at the moment either, and it’s their highly paid jobs to work it out.
Instead, I see a global paralysis driven by fear, confusion and woeful lack of leadership.
And it will only get worse.
Hate Donald Trump all you like, but at least he seems to recognise the magnitude of the threat and at least he has firm proposals for how to try to defeat it.
They may not win him the Politically Correct Pontificator of the Year award. But how many more scenes like this morning’s appalling images from Brussels are we going to tolerate before we try a non-PC option to beat these disgusting excuses for human beings?
At the end of our interview, I asked Donald Trump to send a message to the large majority of non-violent, decent Muslims who are as disgusted by these attacks as the rest of us.
‘I have great respect for Muslims,’ he said, ‘I have many friends that are Muslims. I'm just saying that there is something with a radicalized portion that is very, very bad and very dangerous. I would say this, to the Muslims, when they see trouble, they have to report it, they're not reporting it, they're absolutely not reporting it and that's a big problem.’
Is he so wrong?
Wow! Piers Morgan is actually starting to get it. Impressive.
Of course, Spammy the CLUELESS sewer rat would be the absolute last person in the world to call a spade a spade even if those Muslim bastards nuked lower Manhattan.
For a couple of horrible, disgusting days I saw what it was like to be a hateful, sick fuck, that hated people based on where they were from, what Religion they were, what color they were, walking around with rage all the time. Then, thankfully I recovered back into the somewhat normal human being I always was, that treated people as individuals. Pity that you will never have the clarity to realize how sick you are, how hateful you are.
Geert Wilders For Breitbart: ‘We Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet’

Dutch Party For Freedom (PVV) leader and prominent counter-Islamist campaigner Geert Wilders has spoken exclusively to Breitbart London in the aftermath of this morning’s major terror attack and has lamented it is just the beginning of growing Islamist violence.
Mr. Wilders said: “I fear that we ain’t seen nothing yet. According to Europol 3,000 to 5,000 European jihadists, who went to Syria to fight in the ranks of IS and similar terrorist groups, have meanwhile returned to Western Europe. Some of them hid among the hundreds of thousands of Islamic asylum seekers that entered Europe from Asia and Africa.
“Two of last November’s terrorist in Paris had fought in Syria. So had the terrorist who, last August, attempted to attack the high speed train between Amsterdam and Paris. So had the two terrorists who, in January 2015, massacred the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo. So had the terrorist who, in May 2014, shot four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels”.
Belgian police have recently said at least 90 returned fighters from the Islamic State are living at liberty in Brussels, many of them in the infamous Molenbeek neighbourhood. European Commission insider Hermann Kelly told Breitbart Radio this morning he was concerned so many lived just miles from the political capital of the European Union.
Mr. Kelly said: “This is amazing to me that these people can kill people abroad, come here, and then walk free in the centre of Brussels”. On this, Mr. Wilders remarked: “Returned Syria fighters are a huge threat. They are dangerous predators roaming our streets. It is absolutely unbelievable that our governments allow them to return. And it is incredible that, once returned, they are not imprisoned.
“In the Netherlands, we have dozens of these returned jihadists. Our government allows most of them to freely walk our streets and refuses to lock them up. I demand that they be detained at once. Every government in the West, which refuses to do so, is a moral accessory if one of these monsters commits an atrocity.
“The government must also close our national borders. The European Union’s Schengen zone, where no border controls are allowed, is a catastrophe. The Belgian Moroccan Salah Abdeslam, the mastermind of last November’s bloodbath in Paris, travelled freely from Belgium to the Netherlands on multiple occasions last year.
“This is intolerable. Open borders are a huge safety risk. Our citizens are in mortal danger if we do not restore control over our own national borders”.
Speaking earlier today Mr. Wilders lamented that commuters were killed in “cold blood” and said “The cause of all this bloodshed is Islam. We need to de-Islamize the West. That is the only way to safeguard our lives and protect our freedom”.
