How about Belgian non-Muslims? How are they doing?

“It’s already been a rough few months for Belgian Muslims in the wake of November’s terror attacks in Paris and the search for suspects in Belgium: lockdowns, increased security and raids on homes. Now, in the wake of the country’s deadliest terror attacks on Tuesday, Muslims who live in Belgium fret more fear, suspicion and harassment is on the way.” Heavens to betsy, what could they do to stave off this fear, suspicion and harassment? How about cooperate with counter-terror efforts? Salah Abdeslam, one of the Paris jihad mass murderers, was sheltered in Molenbeek for months, and no one there alerted authorities. Does that not indicate that some suspicion is warranted?

“I think the possibility of the Pegida rallies in Flanders getting violent is real.” Islamic jihad in Belgium is already violent. Where is USA Today’s concern about that?

“I hope that people will realize this has nothing to do with the real Islam.” How did this misunderstanding of Islam become so widespread, and among the most devout and committed of Muslims? What are Muslims in Belgium doing to stop its spread? What programs do they have in place to teach young Muslims to reject the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam? There are no such programs. Why is that?
