Letting millions of terrorists into a country is bad for said country. This shouldn’t be hard to figure out.

But guns kill (if you can aim them).

The Belgians and Western Europeans just need to get used to this. It is what “normal” is now like.

The BBC’s quotation marks around “terror” are almost as offensive as the attack itself

“Belgian police need more range time.”

If it was here the police would have shot 30 times,hit two bystanders,a car and the neighbors cat.

ISIS Calls for Random Knife Attacks in Alleys, Forests, Beaches, ‘Quiet Neighborhoods’
BY BRIDGET JOHNSON OCTOBER 4, 2016

EXCERPT:

A new magazine issued by the Islamic State advises lone jihadists to get over any squeamishness about using knives and embrace sharp objects as “widely available” weapons of jihad in nighttime stabbing campaigns.

(...)

In the new PDF issue distributed widely via social media and Google Drive, an article on terror tactics assures would-be jihadists that “one need not be a military expert or a martial arts master, or even own a gun or rifle in order to carry out a massacre or to kill and injure several disbelievers and terrorize an entire nation.”

(...)

“Many people are often squeamish of the thought of plunging a sharp object into another person’s flesh. It is a discomfort caused by the untamed, inherent dislike for pain and death, especially after ‘modernization’ distanced males from partaking in the slaughtering of livestock for food and the striking of the enemy in war,” the unbylined article states. “However, any such squirms and discomforts are never an excuse for abandoning jihad.”

ISIS suggested a “campaign of knife attacks” in which the attacker “could dispose of his weapon after each use, finding no difficulty in acquiring another one.”

Send your loved ones to martial arts classes. Buy body armor for kids and women.
