Anyplace that gave us that horrible sprouty-named (but not particularly sprouty-LIKE) vegetable is clearly Satan incarnate. (EDITED TO ADD: Although they get a lot of love and leeway from me for their chocolate. Mmmm.)
If they're cooked too slowly they turn to sulphury mush, but they're great if you toss them in oil and put them face-down in halves on a roasting pan, then blast them with some dry heat.
You guys get it. Too bad the rest of the world is still blind to Belgium's crimes. When will they learn that 90% of everything that is wrong with the world is because of Belgium!
Such a pity that many of these people listed are originally refugees (so called) that have been welcomed into a foreign country and benefit from the services and opportunities of these host countries and then........ turn around and join those that would bring those countries down. About the best argument against immigration one could imagine.
It isn't a good argument against immigration. The vast majority of immigrants do not join ISIS. Not letting people leave their country because there is a tiny probability they might subsequently join ISIS (which they might have done anyway) is ridiculous. There are loads of MUCH better arguments against immigration. And they're mostly not even very good.
There are 16.3 million immigrants in Germany...915 of them joined ISIS (if you assume every single German ISIS member is an immigrant). That's .0056% of German immigrants. Don't get me wrong. I don't want any country accepting even one ISIS member, but if "the best argument against immigration one could imagine" is that there is a 1-in-20,000 chance they might become a terrorist, then the case against immigration blows.
They never have numbers for how many were already affiliated with terrorist organizations, only the ones they catch going back and returning. They use EU countries like a safe house for leave. Lets not forget that ISIS isn't the only organization these dudes are affiliated with.
I'm not disputing that very bad people come to countries that welcome them and then try to do terrible things, and I understand the importance of strict immigration policies. I was more aggrieved at the appalling logic of "there should be no immigration because an infinitesimal number of immigrants end up being terrorists." Pointing to the absolute worst of any sample size is no way to make a fair assessment of cost vs. benefit. It's just a stupid way to think. I'm not weighing in on the immigration/terrorism debate per se on a quiz website. I was taking issue with the terrible reasoning that Malbaby seemed to think was ironclad.
Germany could solve this problem by not allowing men age 18-35 as refugees. The vast majority of violence is committed by young men, who also happen to be the largest group of Germany's refugee population.
18-35 year old men are the largest group because a) they're the most likely to survive the trip and b) because they're considered most likely to be able to secure employment and housing to then bring their families over later. These people aren't arriving by Interrail, it's not an easy journey.
I think it might have something to do with some Chechen jihadists who are battle hardened since the troubles with the rest of the Federation. I remember a particularly horrific hostage situation about a school in Grozny.
A number of Russian states have significant Muslim populations, because Russia's imperial expansion was largely directed at Central Asia - some of these places later became independent, like Kazakhstan or Kyrgyzstan, but there's plenty of others which remain in the Russian Federation - Chechnya, Dagestan, Tatarstan etc.
What those two said, but also look at a map and see how close Russia is to Iraq and Syria. See that part that is almost touching them? That's where Chechnya is.
The only thing still on sale is Istanbul.
