RIP to all those that lost their lives, sad state of affairs now.

I guess we will soon see loads of pray for Belgium meme's but how ironic that not one single person have a toss about the recent attacks in Ankara??

How hypocritical has this world has become, media has done a superb job on making Muslims look like the bad guys

Attacks in Ankara is bad but so is this mate.

Lots of people trying to ignore the fact this is Islamist Extremists again and mods even deleting posts mentioning this. What will it take to get people to pull their heads out of the sand?

Much like most right wing posters ignoring the fact these attacks are more than likely perpetrated by EU citizens but will advocate restricted movement and closed borders like it's some sort of solution, and continuing the ridiculous foreign policies that create extremism.

Whilst your right to an extent that people forget all about recent bombings in Turkey, your media comment is ridiculous. The media aren't making Muslims out to be bad guys, certain sects of Muslims are making other sects of Muslims out to be bad guys.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Islamist_terrorist_attacks

The media hasn't just 'made up' all of the attacks in the link above. Now compare that to terror attacks from any other group/ culture/ religion. Quite frankly I'm sick of seeing Muslim terror attacks in the news over and over again but there is no easy solution now. The West's meddling foreign policy combined with ultra liberal naive multicultural views has lead us too far down the rabbit hole.

So many simpletons in one thread.

RIP to the deceased.

I don't think 'the media' blew anyone up.

These may be EU citizens but importing people from outside who come from different cultures with the same backwards views isn't going to exactly make things better is it

^^ This. That's why you'll see Arab nations going wild over attacks in Palestinians, while pretty much ignoring attacks on White Europeans.

Also, we pretty much expect attacks in places like Ankara so it's less of a shock. We don't expect attacks in places like Brussels.

In the airport in Manila Philippines, You cannot enter the airport without all your luggages being checked/scanned through the X-Ray.

A pain in the backside but this would have prevented todays events happening and i can see this now being implemented on all airports now where you wont be able to enter without all your bags being checked etc.

I'm in Charleroi now. Everyone is pretty calm.

Agreed was about to post the same, in India and Kenya when I've been you can't enter the airport without a valid ticket and you and your luggage are scanned as you enter. Frankly it's a system that from a security perspective makes a lot of sense given the climate we are in.

The schengen free border should be scrap and go back old system and closed all borders to stop flow.. It time to beef up secuirty as attack get bigger..

Also anyone with even the tiniest bit of knowledge of Turkey knows that the bombing there was more to do with historical repression of certain groups within the country than IS etc.

Yup and only people traveling are allowed in the airport.

This event could have easily happened in any of the london airports...

But all you're doing is making a queue further back? Another queue, another collection of people, another target. It's still got to be public access on the "incoming" side so anyone wanting to bomb can still do so. You're just moving the problem, not solving it.

At what point do we start to realise we are at war, and start to act accordingly?

Its easy to sink into that blame culture of accusing Islam as a whole, but this is the work of a bunch of crazed evil cultists, not an entire religion, we must remember that!

rip to all the innocent people killed. If god does exist (personally I don't believe he/she/it does), I've no doubt those responsible will burn for this pure evil!
