Police in Belgium carried out 13 raids in and around Brussels on Sunday, the Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office said. Authorities took nine people in for questioning. Five were released after questioning, the prosecutor's office said. Police did not release the names of those questioned or details of the raids.

Though organizers postponed a Sunday march in the Belgian capital out of security fears, those who gathered at Brussels' Place de la Bourse were confronted by protesters raising their arms in Nazi salutes and shouting anti-immigrant slogans.
The gathering, which took place in a commercial district in the capital, started out peacefully with mourners laying flowers at the foot of the stairs leading to the Brussels Stock Exchange.
The mood changed at about 2:45 p.m. when several hundred men -- most of them dressed in black, a handful of them with their faces totally or partially obscured, and many of them carrying alcoholic beverages -- arrived on the square.
One demonstrator sparked a flare, and others lit firecrackers in the square. One group unfurled a white banner that said "FCK ISIS" and "Casuals Against Terrorism." It's unclear if the groups are related, but Casuals United is a British far-right group affiliated with the English Defence League, which opposes the spread of Islam and Sharia law.

It's a bit sad these people have to turn to nazism to be heard
Disinchanted minority's clinging to a free europe, turning to violence, turning to the mob rule, simply because of the governments non activity
It's almost like a set up, a situation where Europeans will be prosecuted.
Very silly indeed

European citizens did NOT cause ANY of these issues, if someone needs to sacrifice in this scenario it's the nation's leaders that should be doing it, not the random guy/girl on the street.

You somehow think a few people doing nazi salutes is equal to the terror these fellows from the mid east are bringing down upon the people of Europe. It isn't.

Europeans doing Nazi salutes should be deported to North Korea or the Moon for their disgusting Traitorism.
Our people died fighting that s#.
Nothing sickens me more than an Nazi.
Besides a paedo.
Well done Nazi, you're one step ahead of a paedo, you must be so proud.
Uneducated f#tards.

Yes they did, all the terrorists so far in Europe have been homegrown European citizens
