As for Brussels's
I see this as really no different than mass shootings, or gun violence in general, here in the good 'ol USA.
It's simply the price of freedom. Bury and mourn your dead and carry on.
Giving more power to Feds while giving up our rights to privacy, or gun control, or whatever bullschit law politicians want to make out of thin air to give us the illusion of safety is well, just that, an illusion!
Sounds like you're ok with the radical Islam. These aren't Christians that are doing this. People with your attitude is why we will never put a dent in this. What about the feds that have been wire tapping drug dealers for decades, why didn't you mention that? Pull your head out of the mud.
I'm ok with Islam just like I'm ok with gun owners. It's only after you've broken a law that you should be set on fire.
Going after all of Islam is just like going after all gun owners. You are creating a much bigger problem then you are solving.
And the Fed's are wiretapping after a search warrant has been signed buy a judge just like it states in the constitution. What I'm against and what is happening under the Patriot Act is mass data mining for just in case we'd like to obtain a secret warrant from some secret Gov entity at some future secret time.
And for a little history lesson. Every incoming group of emigrants have been scary to the little pea wits that emigrated before them. From the Quakers to the Irish to the Chinese to the Mexicans. Now it's Muslims turn.
Even with my head in the mud I have the ability to think without fear of the "other." You should try it sometime
