As much as I think Mormonism is a ridiculous religion, you don't see Mormons firebombing "The Book of Mormon" performances. If you are going to argue that criticism of an ideology is a provocation, you need to be consistent in your outrage.

Really that's all we can do as individuals to combat Terrorism. Aim of these attacks is to spread fear and divide us.

Yet we're not allowed to be satirical of muslims? Wouldn't that indicate a lack of compatibility?

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Well at least we all know the form by now. This morning Islamist suicide-bombers struck one of the few European capitals they haven’t previously hit in a mass-casualty terrorist attack.

The standard response now goes as follows. First the body parts of innocent people are flung across airport check-ins or underground trains. Briefly there is some shock. On social media the sentimentalists await the arrival of this atrocity’s cutesy hashtag or motif and hope it will tide them over until the piano man arrives at the scene of the attack to sing ‘Imagine there’s no countries’. Meantime someone will hopefully have said something which a lot of people can condemn as ‘inappropriate’. I see that the Telegraph columnist Allison Pearson was this morning’s Twitter miscreant, foolish enough to say in the wake of the Brussels attack that the EU might not make us very safe. One may agree or disagree with this sentiment, but Ms Pearson should have known that the only acceptable thing to do after a suicide bomber detonates beside the European Commission is to acclaim the Commission as one of the few entities able to keep us safe.

We will shortly move to the next phase, which is to find a good news story amid the rubble. Anything will do, but best of all is a Muslim good news story. After Paris it was swiftly reported that one of the suicide bombers at Stade de France had been turned away by a brave Muslim security guard. The story whizzed around the world before anyone could check whether it was true. It wasn’t. But people needed it to be. Not because Muslims don’t do good deeds, but because in the wake of any Islamist terrorist attack people need people opposed to the bombers to be Muslim and the bombers themselves not to be Muslim. Then the good Muslim can represent Islam while the bad Muslims can be said to have nothing to do with it.

Soon we will move to the next phase, during which broadcast media will ask questions that address no major points. So in the UK the government’s Communications Data Bill will get quite a lot of mentions. We will probably also have another round of the old discussion about Control Orders versus TPIMs. This will most likely be first raised by a Labour politician hoping to look tough. Everywhere on the media people will start to talk of ‘radicalisation’ as though it is something you can get from the water, and experts will claim insight into the ‘paths to extremism’. Nicky Morgan will announce that the Prevent agenda should be extended to encompass pre-kindergarten. A year later she will close some Quaker-run nursery.

Meanwhile other people will change the subject over to the question of Belgium’s unacceptably interventionist foreign policy. Others will get onto Israel-Palestine. At around the same time the Corbynite-wing of the Labour party will get onto their favourite subject which is not dead bodies in airports but people who have been looked at meanly on a bus while wearing a headscarf. By at least tomorrow the story of a savage ‘backlash’ (consisting mainly of stares and horrible things written on social media) will be being talked-up by all mainstream Muslim leaders. By Thursday no one will be talking about the victims.

Meanwhile Twitter will reprise some version of the post-Sydney ‘I’ll ride with you’ meme (based on a fib) or the ‘You ain’t no Muslim, bruv’ which was shouted during December’s Leytonstone attack by a non-Muslim and briefly acclaimed by everyone from the Prime Minister down as one of the finest expressions ever of the English spirit and language.

This is how it goes in Europe now. Everything barely worth saying will be said endlessly. And the only things that are worth saying won’t be said. What are those things? Among other things the fact that we are living with the consequences of an immigration and ‘integration’ fantasy which should have been abandoned years ago. Instead our governments have kept pretending that the weakening of Europe’s external borders and the erosion of its internal borders happening at the same time as one of the largest population replacement exercises in history could have no tangible effects on our continent’s future. They pretend that Britain will always be Britain, France will always be France, Sweden will always be Sweden and Belgium will always be Belgium.

But perhaps we do learn some things. Albeit silently. A decade ago, after every attack, the pundits used to point to places where mass immigration, integration and open borders were meant to have worked. After London people said ‘What can we learn from France’. After Paris they said ‘What can we learn from the Swedish model.’ Nobody cites Sweden anymore. In fact nobody looks to anyone else’s model anymore. Because all of the ‘models’ failed. So here we are – stuck with a problem our politicians have given us and to which they have no answers. Perhaps all this pointless chatter is just what people do to distract themselves before they have to face up to that fact.

What a load of old cobblers.

This comment on Oliver's show was specifically about the calls from Republicans in the US to not accept any Syrian refugees.

Certified refugees are far different than the uncontrolled mass movement of people happening in Europe.

Secondly, the suspects haven't even been identified yet. They may well be Belgian born, not refugees.

so that makes everyone a bigot who condemns the bombings then.

How, in any way, is anyone saying that condemning the bombings makes you a bigot? Ridiculous comment.

Ignore Socawho too. My first post in this thread alludes to this, but he's just trying to get a reaction out of me and anyone else that will bite.

Feel sorry for those that have posted reasonable arguments but with such an emotional topic people feel the need to abuse and stifle discussion.

MMM in Melbourne, talking about youth unemployment and lack of integration of immigrants as reasons contributing to the attacks. If that's the case, go integrate somewhere else :)

I disagree and this is the equivalent of those who bury their head in the sand.
Terrorism wont go away by pretending it doesnt exist.

Its pretty obvious why terrorism is growing in places like Belgium and France. You have an environment that fosters its growth. Mass immigration from a culture that refuses to and cannot assimilate with western values.

No go zones, whole suburbs that police are afraid to visit on a regular basis.

Something needs to be done, something needs to change.

immediate halt to islamic immigrants
strict vetting of all islamists in europe
all military aged men not accompanied by family deported
families found to be harbouring terrrorist sympathisers deported
wait til theyre back in the mid east
nuke those cunts

You're not funny. Give up.
