Ibrahim El Bakraoui and younger brother Khalid were no strangers to police prior to Tuesday's suicide bombings in Brussels.

Both had criminal records long before becoming involved in a terror cell that unleashed carnage in Paris and Brussels.

The siblings were identified Wednesday by prosecutors in Belgium who said Ibrahim, 30, detonated a bomb at Brussels Airport while Khalid, 27, blew himself up in the city's subway system.

Ibrahim appeared in the center of an airport surveillance image in which the terror suspects are seen pushing carts carrying massive bombs — disguised as suitcases — through the crowded check-in hall.

He was identified by his fingerprints, prosecutors told a news conference.

Why were they not booted out of Belgium as criminals?

[Diogenesis]

They are just murdering and raping the people
the “leaders” (scum, selfserving, NAZIs) want
murdered and raped. Just like America, where
the entire GOP Congress DOES NOTHING
except get drunk and whore and pass ObamaTRADE.

Why were they not booted out of Belgium as criminals?

Because they were all examples of the EU's current sacred bird. This isn't incompetence, it is a monstrous but carefully choreographed cleansing of Europe... of native Europeans.

"Death to America!"

Actually I am already sick and tired of their faces on Foxnews. This just plays into their game plan, to scare, and worry everyone, I would make it a blip, about 10 seconds and talk about the upcoming trial of HIllary Clinton.

[Shugee]

Why were they not booted out of Belgium as criminals?

Because the El Bakraoui brothers were both born in Brussels. The eldest was recently deported from Turkey back to Belgium. Turkey warned Belgium authorities that he was a militant, but Belgium released him as they couldn’t link him to acts of terrorism.

But for what purpose? Followers of Islam are not particularly productive to an economy over western manufacturing practices? They are not particularly innovative and produce much in scientific achievement. They are not particularly prone to education, arts and literature, culture in general. Their one and only goal is submission of others, submission of women, throwing back to 16th century barter economics, and offer very little in the way of social advancement. Quite the opposite could be argued very easily.I just don't see the desire to shift that ideology into a country for any purpose?

Ever observe the farming practices of the followers of Islam? For centuries the people living on land that was useless sold it to Israelis after the Balfour decision. In twenty years the Israelis turned it into highly productive agricultural land. They applied modern agricultural methods of farming, ran irrigation lines, electricity, access roads, crop storage facilities, and developed markets for the produce. It was now that arabs who sold the land demanded it back! After selling it and finding out what it could have been for 600 years and did nothing with it, now they want it back?

Typical Arab mentality. Scratch the dirt with a stick to farm and steal what you can't produce for yourself.

The GOP is as much the enemy as the rats.

[Fitzy_888]

43% of Belgium prison inmates are Muslim.

Doing the time Belgians just won’t do..!!!

[Fitzy_888]

European agriculture advanced when they could do irrigation, out from behind a wall -those walls, those castles, were built to resist the Muslim slave trading hoard.

What exactly does the GOP have to do with Belgium’s criminal justice system?

[Thibodeaux]

you spew the doctrine, but you are wrong

[gaijin]

Nothing is wrong with the troops or the citizenry.

The problem is we have the WRONG LEADERS.

We need to remove them.

[RKBA Democrat]

I was responding to another comment. But since you asked, the gop has nothing to do with Belgium’s criminal justice system. They would dive right in if they had a way to profit from it. But alas there doesn’t appear to be.

[JoeProBono]

[RKBA Democrat]

I have to admit, you’re probably right. The gop is usually worse than the rats, but you caught me in a charitable mood.

[FreedomPoster]

Well, that, and the guys from the next valley over, or the next province.
