Not all men are rapists, but the vast majority of rapists are men.
Therefore, to remove the vast majority of rapes, remove all men.
Don't like that? Think it's unfair? TOUGH. The rights of women not to be raped are more important than men's rights to live in the same space.

I dont want innocent muslims punished for this. [/post]
Why do we never hear, "I don't want the innocent gun owners punished", or "I don't want the innocent white people punished", or "I don't want innocent Christians punished", or "I don't want the innocent Republicans/conservatives punished"?
I think it's because those demographics aren't collectively derided for attacks. Islam is often blamed as a whole for these atrocities, but the same standard isn't applied to other demographics like Christians. For example, people flip their # at Islam for terrorist attacks, but no one had a go at Christianity for the actions of Anders Behring Breivik or the many Christian militias in Africa. Interestingly enough, while ISIS and Breivik cite religious influences, their actions are primarily motivated by politics. ISIS wants a caliphate, Breivik wanted to stop the 'invasion of Europe' and left-leaning politics.

And Trump thinks he can make America "great, again"? From what i've been reading, that's not going to happen. Not when people in the US still think terrorists come from the Middle East and Muslims are the only religious people that strap bombs to themselves.
Newsflash: America wiped out over 200,000+ people, with 2 bombs. STOP BEING SUCH HYPOCRITES. It's sickening.

Breivik is not and has never been Christian. I suggest you read the manifesto he wrote. His attacks were because of politics, not religion.

this is where the ISIS members come from :
in ME : 1- Jordan 2- saudi arabia 3- tunisia
in EU : France , Belgium, Germany, UK
Also and finally, the white smoke at the airport blast scene suggest a high explosive device -- a detonation rather than a deflagration. And it was possibly therefore T.A.T.P.

Just for a reminder people :

here is a complete report : www.telegraph.co.uk...
Just wanted to say that it could be the poor refugees, it could be not .
Neither of the two, because the west is not promoting endless war in M.E countries, muslims are quite capable of doing that on their own with their eternal conflicts between shia, sunni, wahabi, alewife, salafi, kurd, sufi.

Oddly enough, a few days ago Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was speaking at a ceremony where he mentioned such an attack happening; even mentioning Brussels.

Speaking at ceremony to commemorate the 101st anniversary of the Battle of Gallipoli in the coastal town of Canakkale, Erdogan said, "there is no reason why the bomb that exploded in Ankara cannot explode in Brussels, in any other European city."
