These experts were saying on the news how many Muslims in Belgium are much radicalized than even those in France. If the pattern continues when they arrest them, it will be all Belgian citizens. If they are connected to ISIS it will most likely be only through watching Youtube videos or tweets on Twitter, etc.

They are, supposedly, muslim converts from Belarus. Russia warned the Belgian authorities for them, but they probably didn't do anything. Names used are Ivan and Andrei Dovbash and Marat (Y)Unusov.There is a photograph surfaced of the suspects of the attacks on Zaventem.
The photo was shared on social media by the police, while those destined only for internal distribution.
The two men left would have blown themselves.
The man on the right, with the white jersey, is actively tracked for his involvement. It is not known who they are.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
The awkwardness where liberals want to condemn the attacks without hurting the feelings of other muslims.
Would not be surprised if this kind of violence were to happen in Sweden as well.
@ Bakis or other Swedes - do you live near in this area? Are you starting to experience the same things? I fear for the safety of Swedish citizens.
Raise your hand if you were surprised by this.
If you weren't, good for you for being awake.
You can repeating multiculturalism failure repeatedly, but what happens in France and to a lesser degree Belgium is not related to multiculturalism
France pratice in theory assimilation (and, it should be said, did it remarkably well, starting with Irish refugees after James II flight) : however, Muslims minorities in French are usually neither assimilated or ''multiculture'' : they are left to their own devices in dilapidated suburbs (Dilapidated mostly because of petty vandalism and the like, but still)
As for Belgium, the country is deeply divided other ''inner'' cultural issues in the first place, or rather linguistic ones. As for Québec, Muslims minorities tend to concentrate in French-speaking areas, at least the ones from North Africa. (Not many Muslims speak Flemmish..) with exacerbates problems in specific areas.
The default is multiculturalism, because people by default stick to what they know. Efforts need to be made to integrate migrants instead of supporting 'separate but equal' multiculturalism through policies of either tolerance or inaction.
In some areas, it's inaction that leads to multiculturalism. In others, it's tolerance. In France and Belgium, it's probably more likely to be inaction, while in Northern Europe and the US, it's probably closer to tolerance.
There is a rapidly growing distaste for certain religious groups (this is not a bash) among the 1st and 2nd (3rd?) world populations. Surely, there must be some reason for this?
Work must be done by these groups to police their own members if they wish to not be judged harshly.
