Two Swedish nationals were shot dead on Monday evening in central Brussels by a single armed man, in what Prime Minister Alexander de Croo of Belgium said was an act of terrorism. The suspect remained at large hours after the attack, Belgian police said.

    I feel that ISIS actually won in that they made people hate Muslims even more, making it much easier for terrorists to justify their attacks and for regular Muslims to hate the West for hating them or even get radicalized. The divide is much greater and it’s precisely what they wanted.

      Yeah it’s like an endless cycle

      The more Islamic terror is committed, the more people hate Muslims.

      The more people hate Muslims, the easier it is to radicalize others.

      So on and so forth, getting worse each time.
