CNN reporting Brussels in "lock down.". The whole city. What BS to allow this scum to stop a whole city.

23 confirmed dead now.

I just got off the phone with some friends of ours who live just outside of Brussels and who work in Brussels. Thankfully, they are fine. As luck would have it, they are on vacation this week and so they weren't in the metro or in Brussels this morning though many of their friends and family are. All corporate buildings have been locked down - no one in and no one out.

I just dropped my husband off at American Airlines this morning, which was quirky timing. I am curious to hear from him about whether or not there was stepped up security. Thankfully, he's just traveling domestically.

Belgian officials are calling it a terrorist attack now.

Interesting that the American Airlines area was targeted... a little alarming.

Oh, this is all so symbolic. Brussels is a hub for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The metro attacks happened in close proximity to not only EU offices, but also NATO offices. And therefore I don't think it was random that at least one bomb was detonated in the American Airlines area.

I'm very curious to hear from my husband regarding AA security in Dallas.

Hey Europe, hows that open borders and multiculturism working out for you? No assimilation, No problem.

This will probably cause Obama to want to bring in more Muslims.

No, Obama will deny. It's probably a bunch of disgruntled Transportation workers.

Why do these people do this? what are their objectives, They certainly get the rest of the world hating and not trusting their Muslim culture even though an extreme few are responsible for these atrocities.
Any Muslims want to weigh in and respond to this madness?
