    Just saw on twitter that Dikembo Mutombo, former basketball player was at the airport during the attacks. He wasn't injured in it.

    Pretty sure they were Belgian citizens. Unconfirmed though.

    Why do you think I said "refugees" in quotes? Most of the attackers were identified as Arab/Middle Eastern, some being actual refugees from Iraq and Syria, the rest being simple migrants.

    Also going to wait for you to quote one instance of these "ISIS-like" views on women you morons keep claiming I hold, yet conveniently avoid highlighting one example of. Or are you comparing me not supporting feminism, like the majority of Western civilization, to "hating women" (despite how again, most women are not feminists)? Idiots.

    Most were from Algeria, Tunisia, and Morocco, and some were refugees from Iraq/Syria

    Migrants from these countries are no longer offered asylum.

    Honestly though, Europe really needs to stop taking in refugees. Isn't the point of being a refugee to get away from war/whatever in your homeland, until it's resolved? Why not go to Egypt, or any other neighboring country which has yet to be involved in these conflicts?

    Why does it have to be these cushy, first-world Western countries?

    Most refugees go to those near Arab countries but in some of them like jordanie I think 1/3rd of the population are refugees, they just can't take it anymore.

    And you know Syria used to be kind of a rich country right? Wouldn't you try to make it to Europe instead of living in Egypt?

    Also why would poor countries like Lebanon have to take twenty times more refugees than Europe?

    Algerian, Tunisian or Moroccan refugees are pretty rare

    We need to be so much tougher on terrorism. We need to stop babying terrorism and being politically correct. I'm so sick of this and disgusting. I literally feel nauseous and angry thinking about this. I'm tired of people shrugging off radical Islam as a threat. This is realer than anything imaginable. Praying for those people and their families.

    These two things have no correlation. We've been fighting terrorism for the past 15 years now. Please explain what more needs to be done?

    ugh... It's bad enough that so many people's lives have been taken but now we have to deal with this fear mongering bs. Ted Cruz can go f--- himself.
