The Liege-Verviers region seems to be a hotbed of Islamic malcontents. A symptom of Belgium's colonial past, no doubt. Just like UK and France.
Fucking hell people are dead and this is your post.
Shameful and untrue.
It also ignores the basics that says Belgium is fucked up, there is a German speaking part,a Dutch and a French. They don't officially and legally speak to each other and they do not co-operate. This is why terrorists have flourished in this country, it has nothing to do with Colonialisim. I suprised he didn't blame Thatcher.

Considering their colonies were almost entirely central Africa and not where the local population were followers of Islam, what you’ve said is shameful and untrue.

errr- our colonies were not all like that either. India was split across Muslim, Sikh and Hindu - when we colonised South Africa, Rhodesia and the like they weren't majority Muslim and still aren't, W. Indies, Australia, NZ - The list can go on - I would say any issues we currently have arise from our more recent disastrous foreign adventures in majority Muslim countries.
Disagree entirely with your last line. Sadly this won’t be the last attack during Ramadan. This problem is here and won’t go away. Not sure what the answer is.
We were considered enemies long before that.why? do you think Iraq and Afghanistan as well as bombing in Libya and Syria doesn't make us enemies?

So why has sweden suffered attacks in recent years? I think your link is far too simple and not facing up to the problem.
Oh of course you invade and bomb people and they love you for it? I think your head is in the sand over the effect of what we have done on how we are being targeted and how its used against us in radicalisation.
I disagree. Let’s leave it at that.
So you think we are loved for bombing and invading Yes - best left at that.
And Finland?
you clearly want to deflect and obfuscate - I was responding to the op point on the UK colonial record with Muslim populations. Finland was never a colony and never majority Muslim - you embarrass yourself with your one word answers - we agree we don't agree lets leave it at that and save you any more of a red face eh?
I never mentioned about colonial and I agree that was a nonsense point by the op. I merely referred to the second part of your post. You are missing my point. I have no red face.

Have a read of the link - as I said I think just to simply link it to foreign policy is too simple a link.
Not looking for an argument by the way so calm down a little. I was happy to agree to disagree.
