War photographer Teun Voeten, a former resident of Brussels’ now-infamous Molenbeek area:
Over nine years, I witnessed the neighborhood become increasingly intolerant. Alcohol became unavailable in most shops and supermarkets; I heard stories of fanatics at the Comte des Flandres metro station who pressured women to wear the veil; Islamic bookshops proliferated, and it became impossible to buy a decent newspaper. With an unemployment rate of 30 percent, the streets were eerily empty until late in the morning. Nowhere was there a bar or café where white, black and brown people would mingle. Instead, I witnessed petty crime, aggression, and frustrated youths who spat at our girlfriends and called them “filthy whores.” If you made a remark, you were inevitably scolded and called a racist. There used to be Jewish shops on Chaussée de Gand, but these were terrorized by gangs of young kids and most closed their doors around 2008. Openly gay people were routinely intimidated, and also packed up their bags.

Tsk tsk. It’s the actions of the unruly majority that give the peaceful ones a bad name.
“…and it became impossible to buy a decent newspaper.”
Pfft! And it took nine years to notice that.
this shows a common cause leading to the security issues all over the world and over extended time.
namely, politicians DONT LISTEN to the citizens.
republitards DON LISTEN to American taxpayers.
democraps DONT LISTEN to American taxpayers.
north of the 49th,
CONservatists DONT LISTEN to Canadians.
lieberals DONT LISTEN to Canadians.
new democraps DONT LISTEN to Canadians.
greens? ha! DONT LISTEN to Canadians (why would they, according to lizzie borden may we’re all stupid)
feel free to prove this for yourself: try to get the attention of a politician in your city/town/village/province/riding/whatever. you cant. it has to do with the many steps involve in communication, the first step being merely to get their attention. unless of course you have lots and lots of campaign money or votes to deliver, and then they will listen only for the duration it takes to deliver up the goods and then it’s back to ignoring you.
they ignore petitions, they ignore calls for referendums, they ignore phone calls, ALWAYS ignore snail-mail letters. they ignore polls, claiming they are biased, they ignore common sense, their own advisors, and the lessons of history. they ignore critics, scientists, even those on the payroll (unless the results of any research agrees with their predetermined priorities and policies) and certainly YOU mr/ms insignificant individual.
etcetera, etcetera, etbloodyCETERA.
so, what do they pay attention to?
lobbyists, the party leader (if they expect to keep their cabinet etc position), and their all controlling all consuming IDEOLOGY. this last one especially new democraps.
and that dear reader explains EVERYTHING that’s wrong in the EU and north america for starters.
150 years since Confederation and STILL churning out laws and laws and more laws? when are they going to get *something* right that won’t need ‘fixing’ by a subsequent government? see what I mean?
It will be very interesting to monitor that first Muslim-majority town in Michigan which used to be dubbed Little Warsaw. Name escapes me at the moment through it has the letters h-a-m in it. Surrounded by Detroit.
Calls to “prayer” 5 times a day, the full meal deal.
The town leaders are doing infidel outreach to reassure the dhimmis that there’s nothing to be concerned about. No booze within 500 feet of the mosque. Buying surrounding private property to obstruct proposed development. New minarets on the way.
The town prides itself on its – yunno – diversity.
Why, there’s 27 languages spoken in the school!!
Me No Dhimm
The city is Hamtramck, near Detroit, long known as a Polish American enclave, it is now as much as 60% Muslim.

yup, it’s starting… molenbeek, usa…
“At last week’s city council meeting, several residents of the Hamtramck Senior Plaza apartments on Holbrook complained about the volume level of the call to prayer coming from the Ideal Islamic Center, located across from the apartment complex.”

“youths” ? ” gangs of young kids” ?
And the author does not know their race nor religion?
Really?
Hamtramck is off to a good supremacist start.
