France - Explosions and shooting in Paris, 13 November 2015 #3

[leah]

I don't know how I forgot this. A year or so ago, the hysteria and mayhem when there was an influx of South American people, a lot of children coming into the country, and some people wanted them gone, now, while others were more sympathetic. After all that calmed down, I have to ask, where did we all place the people coming here to look for a better life? I haven't heard about all that in awhile.

"We must not rule anything out," he said. "I say it with all the precautions needed. But we know and bear in mind that there is also a risk of chemical or bacteriological weapons."

Candidate for London mayor , Muslim MP Khan speaks out

He said the Paris terror attacks on Friday in which 129 people died were an 'attack on our way of life'.

'These horrendous crimes were committed by sick and evil individuals, in the name of a sick and evil ideology. A grotesque and perverse worldview - which has nothing to do with the Islam that I know.'

Amid much commentary on the cause of the attacks and the effect on the Muslim community, Mr Khan added bluntly: 'Extremism isn't a theoretical risk. Most British Muslims have come across someone with extremist views at some point - and so have I. It's affected my personal life, my friendships, and my career.

'People I knew as a boy have gone on to hold extremist views, and even to act on them in terrible ways.
'When I was a lawyer, as well as representing people who were badly treated by the police or their employers, I sometimes had the unpleasant job of representing people with extremist views.
'It was horrible - but it went with the job. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to challenge the hideous views of seemingly intelligent and articulate people.

'People who look and sound like normal Londoners, until they say that 9/11 was a Mossad conspiracy. That the Jewish workers in the twin towers were tipped off and escaped.
'That Western foreign policy is the cause of all the world's problems. That there could be a land of milk and honey, if there was an Islamic kalifate. I could go on.'

Mr Khan said that British Muslims have a 'special role' to play in tackling extremism.
He added: 'To defeat the extremists we simply must do more to stop radicalisation in Britain. It doesn't just affect us in these awful moments of violence and terror.
'It is a cancer eating at the heart of our society - all the time. And if we're honest - not enough has been done to root it out.
'And in this week of all weeks that makes me angry. Angry because for too long we have buried our heads in the sand.'
He went on: 'I believe that British Muslims have a special role to play in tackling extremism. A special role not because we are more responsible than others - as some have wrongly claimed. But because we can be more effective at tackling extremism than anyone else. Our role must be to challenge extremist views wherever we encounter them.
'To challenge this perverse ideology, and to insist that British values and Muslim values are one and the same.
'To give the next generation of Muslim leaders the confidence to own the debate and defeat the extremists.'

Good morning Momof4 and thanks for all the informative posts--great job. To add to your post FoxNews (AP their source)is also reporting that the US and Iraq confirmed that Isis has been developing chemical weapons.

This does not instill confidence in Americans. This just adds to the concern. IMO

Speaking to my Belgian friends and frequently being in Holland and Belgium myself, yes.
Wanted to add that Belgium will be working on some kind of border check also.

Thank-you, I really appreciate learning from people on here how things are in other countries, reading articles isn't enough, I want to know how people feel.

To all of our European friends, is this a good idea, or not?

I'm British, some here may consider me to be 'not' European, and the UK is not part of the Schengen agreement, so people may think I have no right to an opinion.

However, I travel a lot within the EU and I pay plenty of taxes that go to the EU so I do have an opinion.

I'm old enough to remember the time when travelling on a train between say, Germany and France, border guards would get onto the train and passengers would have to show their passports.
It would be a sad day if border controls had to be reintroduced within the EU countries that are part of Schengen. I don't think it can be achieved without massive expense and disruption. It would cause a lot of hassle and inconvenience, it would have a huge detrimental impact on commerce, but currently I believe it's necessary.

So, I don't believe that what is proposed in that article is enough, but I don't believe that stricter controls will happen.
I'm also not clear, reading that article, about the proposed 'migrant camps'. Where do they intend these to be? It sounds like they're just planning to dump the 'problem' onto their neighbours.
