I hope they get arrested and have to spend the rest of their live rotting away in prison, exposed to all the hatred of their inmates. A quick death is too easy for those murderers.

I hope that there will be some serious investigation, not just a quick judgement based on cheap propaganda.

here are still many of them on the run. It is a very sensitive topic for Serbians, especially for those in Bosnia. They don´t talk about it and simply pretend it never happened.

Sadly stupidity is a very contagious disease.

not stupidity - but religious fanatism , althought this is the same, many religious freaks are low iq plus no education (religious schools only instead of normal schools)

Belgian anti-terror raid in Verviers 'leaves two dead'

[Sgt.Spoetnik 10]

Footage short after the raid on a house in verviers, first floor is on fire while cops are inside and gunfire can be heard, this was one place out off 10 places police raided this evening after they learned those guys wanted to attack police and goverment buildings/sites and it was a action in several country's aimed at jihadis but only in Belgium there was a shooting with 2 death and one injured.

btw Sook; didn know you live here 2 ;) but you would know then that its only the rightwing that want to split us up and they dont speak for all belgians.

It doesn't really matter who wants it, the fact is, election after election more and more Flemish vote for these guys.

I don't want to see my country split up but if it were to happen I'd rather see Wallonia -and Brussels- join France instead of becoming Walbania (no offense to any Albanians).

I think most people in Flanders don't realise how the Walloons feel insulted by the NVA.

You know, just like we expect the muslim to stand up and say the jihadists do not represent their religion and they do not support them, the Walloons expect the Flemish to do the same in regards of the NVA.

And so far they haven't heard much.

We can't deny the reality, Walloons and Flemish are 2 different communities, with different languages, different mindsets, different cultures. In my eyes this a strenght rather than a weakness and we should be proud of it.

We should aknowledge our differences and in the same time realise they are meaningless.

That being said Walloons also have a lot in common with the French.

Ask them the name of 10 flemish politicians and 10 french politicians and you'll see which """country""" they know better.

We are watching french TV and movies, reading french newspaper, we know about french history probably as much as the belgian one.

So yeah, IF it were to go wrong, I don't think it would be hard for the walloons to become french instead of becoming a second luxembourg wihtout the money, the banks and the big german cars :P

Of course all this is hypothetical, as far as I know France itself has no interest in wallonia and if it was up to me I'd prefer to keep my country as it is.

wtf ? how animal can offend religion - this is madness

[nodunit 397]

It is forbidden to eat pork by both religions, but this is simply an over reaction.

Though I must say that it is absolutely disgusting that what is considered a high and respected educational source is considering removing certain works simply because some people fear that they might offend a religion. Funny that people on both sides are saying it is unnecessary but at the end of the day what right does any religion have to tell a population how they must act, this isn't the dark ages for crying out loud.

Truly demented. I hope the maketing flacks who dreamed up this imbecilic policy get booted out. Disgraceful. I am cancelling my account with one of OUP's journals and shall give this as the reason.

Equally mad - in Europe ecclesiastical courts used to try animals for"crimes" inlcuding murder.

And it seems he lacks any common sense as well. I mean what did he thought he would achieve with that action?

And so he was kicked out of the movement.

And the police has got interested in him again.

I wonder if he will flee to South Africa again.

Jewish leaders call for Europe-wide legislation outlawing antisemitism

“There’s a real threat of another Jewish exodus from Europe,†Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress and co-chair of the ECTR, told the Guardian. “The only way to fix these problems is deep changes in legislation to protect all, not just Jews.â€

“We are challenging today things that haven’t happened in Europe for 70 years,†he said. “The Jewish community in Europe definitely needs protection. Governments should pay and should invest much more money. We’ve already paid our taxes and we need much more commitment from governments.â€

I think I'm tolerant person. To each his own. But requests for law enforced protection of non-sense can really increase my blood pressure. Is there any sane reason for non-believing majority of EU to kill freedom of speech in favor of good feeling of people who actually believe they're above others? Can something like this really be enforced in EU? If so, can EU be fixed so it won't be possible to enforce such non-sense in future?

I think that groups like PEGIDA are mostly dumbf*ck attractors. Too bad there's no sane movement against a non-sense on the horizon.

EDIT: OK, the proposal may have some good parts. Nevertheless, outlawing religious satire is not a good part.

both Jews and Muslims are much much more religious than average Catholic is,

both Israel and Middle East countries are religion-controlled and it seems both believe they must control us too,

it is really pathetic what they propse , cause every thing criticizing Israeli government or Israeli companies would be crime - it sounds like what was during Stalin era - that critics of socialism or communism was crime, it is the same as Sharia is - criticizing Prophet = crime,

but it is effect of politicall correctness ideology, one day only "legal" person would be Muslim-Jewish dark skin gay and all non-gay, White and Christians or Atheist would be illegal outlaws if this will carry on what happens in Eu (and USA) , politicall correctness is something which from begining was against freedom of speech, equality and such values, people who are hetero and White (natives in Europe) will be suspected since born in EU and whole idea of freedom and equality will fall apart,

leftists dig they own grave because all who fought for freedom and equality - will be victims of their own actions ;)

for sure there should be no sacred cows , this is really retarded what happens in EU - i heard about people who had problems cause they were against "gender day" to force their son to dress woman clothes etc. (the same people who invented gender day support those who execute lgtb people, pure schizophrenia, but this monthy python sketch is not funny at all)

"Year 1984" book is more and more real (even more than before 1989 in eastern block, cause there was no such spy technology and people were against system) it will be biggest irony if in 2030 half of us gonna ask for help of Russia, good thing i know Russian language, when EU will go mad i will ask in Ru for asylum ;)
