I'd love to see all the people who rushed in to make disgusting anti muslim comments apologise.
I can dream right?
Haha, keep dreaming. This happens every single time. An outrageous story pops up, kneejerk bigotry ensues, and then the facts come out. Sometimes, the initial story is true. Sometimes, it's exaggerated. And other times, it turns out to be a hoax.
But you'll almost never see any apologies from those who made the kneejerk bigotry remarks and calls for violence or retribution. That's because they're just looking for an excuse to unleash their fury, regardless of the validity of the excuse.
Ironically, "Patience" is the virtue that overcomes the sin of "Wrath" in the concept of the "7 Virtues" & the "7 Sins". And that very patience in moments of outrage proves to be the best course of action, like in this instance. That's why I stopped responding in most of these types of threads. Some people simply can't be reasoned with and it's not worth my time to try.

Yep, especially when it comes to stories about muslims. I'm from Lebanon (though im a staunch atheist) and have a lot of muslim friends and to have them tarred with the same brush as terrorists sticks in my throat.
I almost quit ATS about 5 months ago cuz i couldn't stand the muslim hate going on..but i managed to learn to avoid most of those threads and enjoy my time more here. me commenting in this one is an exception.

Yeah, because the entire "War on Terror" and its subsequent invasions don't count as the West attacking Muslims with bombs and guns, right? LOL We in the West have attacked Muslim-majority nations like Libya, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Mali, Somalia, and more just in the last 10 years. But they don't count?

The best thing to do is just ignore them & threads like this. They don't care about the actual details, anyway. It makes the ATS experience much better.

And they say 'staying in the EU will make Britain safer'.
Have to LOL about that.

If this was real as the article claims and suggests it would being nice of them to post videos of proof and evidence.
These kind of articles help Trump talking points.

The translation I got:
The security forces also had to manage the ambient nervousness of people massed around the security perimeter.

I apologize ahead of time for coming across as an insensitive prick, especially with everything happening in Belgium.
But.....
"It is after all the religion of peace. A piece of you over here and a piece of you over there"
Is probably the funniest thing I've heard all week.
All joking aside, my heart goes out to all of the victims of the "Religion of Peace"
