I certainly did not mean to denigrate the Belgians - but I could see how my OP was a bit off target.
I simply do not want to see Begium, Europe, or any other western country hide from the evil that is immigrating to their homes. And believe, based on what I've read, that our leaders are failing to face the scope of the evil inside their borders.
Yesterday we learned that Belgium officials admit that for years "dozens" of Muslims a month have been going to Syria for training in terrorism.
And then there's this: "As M Jambon, the Belgian Interior Minister, told CNN on Monday:
Jambon says the majority of young Muslims are well integrated into Belgian society, but admits his government has more to do to make some feel "at home" in their own country, given that a sense of alienation can leave them open to the threat of radicalization.
"We're talking about third- and fourth-generation [immigrants]; these youngsters are born in Belgium, even their fathers and mothers are born in Belgium, and still they are open for these kind of messages. This is not normal -- in the U.S., the second generation was the President; here, the fourth generation is an IS fighter -- so that is really something we have to work on."
