This type of living area is becoming more common and it has to do with the massive influx of 'immigrants' into certain cities in Europe. Here we are focusing on Brussels. Things have gotten so bad the police and fire brigades will not even stop inside these ghettos. Some people have been able to flee but for many older citizens, they have no choice but to stay put and put up with all the crme and violence in their once nice neighborhoods A translation by the esteemable VH for Gate of Vienna has made this possible for us to read.

The New Beirut
Baron Bodissey
Gates of Vienna
Our Flemish correspondent VH has translated an article from DePers about the war zone that has developed in the immigrant ghettoes of Brussels:
War correspondent in Brussels
Even the police do not dare to step out of the patrol car in Kuregem
by Arnold Karskens
Officers are being shot at, robberies are a daily occurrence. Arnold Karskens went to have a look at “the new Beirut”. Which is in Brussels.
The white police van stops for a moment in the Liverpoolstraat in Brussels, notorious for its illegal car dealers. In gaping dark rooms cars quick as lightning have their number plates changed or within a few hours are completely dismantled. But the police van is not lurking for the illegal Africans who rushed into the shadows. Too dangerous. “We don’t have bulletproof vests,” the driver says. “I say can’t say anything further, even though I know enough for you to easily fill four pages.” His partner nods: “I am risking my life every day. The money for the police is spent on bureaus, not to work in the field.”
“This is the new Beirut,” says Frederic Erens, member of Vlaams Belang. He points to the garages. “No tax inspector will go in here. The last one was twenty years ago and has never been seen again since.”
Kalashnikovs
We walk through his old neighborhood in Brussels-West. The reason is the war situation in Brussels that began last week when a fugitive criminal, after a raid at a Lidl supermarket, was shot by pursuing officers. Followed by another raid on a money-exchange office. A police officer got three bullets in his leg. The weapons used were automatic Kalashnikovs, a notorious assault weapon. The 7.62 mm bullets easily pierce the light armored police cars. The former deputy did foresee this. “Last year four thousand rifles arrived from Chechnya. They start at €200 and can even be rented for €50 a day.” The influx of the murderous weapons has been leaked by the Brussels police leadership themselves. Justice Minister Stefaan De Clercq does not want to make announcements, because of the ongoing investigation.
The bazaar for the merchandise is, among other places, Kuregem, part of the Brussels district Anderlecht. The outdated and cheap housing in the impoverished neighborhood close to the city center acts as a magnet for fortune seekers from Eastern Europe and illegal aliens. Street Robberies are common. Criminals sabotage the street lighting so as to slip away easily into the darkness. Traffic lights in narrow streets are disabled. “The municipality did that themselves. Because motorists who stop at a traffic light at night will have their windows smashed and their passengers robbed.”
Instigated
According to Erens there is also a political battle going on in the “quartiers chauds” [hot areas] of Brussels.” The riots often begin on Friday afternoons when the youth are incited in the mosques.” There are dozens, some of them illegal. And maybe we should view the submachine gun in the same way. In order to create chaos in the capital of Europe. And to stay with war terminology: The risk of collateral damage is great, because they are not professional criminals, but youth who shoot instantly from anxiety. Even the left-wing parties like Green and the Flemish Socialist SP.A argue for zero tolerance, with a fine for any violation. Erens can hardly suppress a grin. “We said that as long as twenty years ago. Brussels in the meantime is not a multicultural but a pluri-cultural society. It is them against us. The racism of foreigners against Europeans. They laugh at our legal system.”
An elderly Moroccan, “for twenty years a resident of Kuregem”, stops. He also has seen the neighborhood go down: “The youth, huh.” He does not want to talk further.
- - - - - - - - -
In the evenings heavy the heavy rain and potholes in the streets filled with melted snow make Kuregem even more depressing. Few dare to go out after sunset. In the dimly lit Tavern Pony Express on the Albert I Square, Rashid (29) looks searchingly at the visitor’s face. He is please to be able to tell about the side the finger is pointed at. “We are the victims. All problems stem from the police. The younger officers especially show no respect. At checkpoints they stand like cowboys in front of you with drawn gun.” That makes you become furious, he wants to add. In a corner behind a laptop some guests swear about the police force. “They are racists.” Of robberies and drug trafficking, which mainly the young Moroccans are blamed for, they know nothing about. Even though the Gondelsflats [Gondola Flats] that are notorious for robberies are just around the corner, and a school in the neighborhood closed its premises because of the robberies against its students.
The next day it is striking that shrubs sometimes grow in the roof gutters. A store advertises traditional Berber outfits, a long jalaba for €15. A black pulp on the pavement shows where plastic garbage bins once stood.
In the Flemish Renaissance town hall with beautiful stained glass windows, Mayor Gaëtan van Goidsenhoven makes a little time for an interview. The Walloon Liberal (36), likes to point at the glory days, when Anderlecht had major industrial sectors and cattle halls and attracted many traders. “Then the poor people came, and the government paid no attention to this area anymore,” the young mayor says, who holds sway over 80 nationalities, although there may be even more.
He can only confirm the seriousness of the situation. In November the police station under the town hall was fire-bombed to ashes. It is still closed down. In the evening the police only patrol in certain streets with two vans. “Criminals want to create a territory for their trade in drugs, stolen cars, and nowadays also weapons.” And that works nicely.
He estimates the number of criminals in central Kuregem, which has some 19,000 inhabitants, at a few dozen. But apart from them, 200 to 300 youngsters also cause serious inconvenience. Youth unemployment is 45 percent, but compulsory education creates problems in addition. “For minors who commit offenses, there is often no prosecution by the judiciary. The feeling of impunity is very strong.”
Kuregem is at crossroads, Van Goidsenhoven sates; the district will either disintegrate into a real ghetto, or it will find a future. “We have the potential, being so close to South Station and the European institutions.” He shows drawings with futuristic flats. “But we need more of a mix, now there is too much poverty, too many social problems and poor and old buildings.”
The pavement in front of the hall has, however, been renovated now.

Will we ever feel safe at home again?
Another excellent article from Gate of Vienna.
Has the Fort Hood jihadist terrorist attack slipped
into the back of your mind? As MSM news about
Tiger Woods, the GW fiasco in Copehagen, the
demosocialistacrat health care bill rule the
airwaves, the internet, stealth Jihad is alive and well.
This includes our military. They have learned nothing.
We are under attack from the inside. The cancer
is Islam.

Keep Our People Safe(r) at Home
by Dymphna
So what great lesson did the military and the President take from the experience of the massacre at Fort Hood? Why, the most obvious one, of course: we need more Muslims in the military:
Army recruiter Sgt. Chris McGarity is on the front lines of the military’s effort to add troops who speak Arabic and understand Middle Eastern culture - a battle that grew more challenging after the shooting at Fort Hood, Texas.
McGarity says he recently signed up an Arab-American high school student who lacked only her parents’ approval to enlist. Then came the Nov. 5 rampage at Fort Hood. The Army has charged Maj. Nidal Hasan, 39, a Muslim and Arab American, with killing 13 people and wounding 32.
The high school student’s mother “made her withdraw her application,” McGarity says.
Such experiences illustrate heightened fears of discrimination and harassment aimed at Arab-American and Muslim troops since the Fort Hood shooting, says Mikey Weinstein, a former Air Force lawyer who founded the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, which advocates for separation between church and state in the military.
Muslims in the military experience “horrible” discrimination, he says.
Before the shooting at Fort Hood, the foundation had 80 Muslim clients who had reported instances of discrimination and harassment, Weinstein says. Complaints jumped 20% to 103 in the weeks after the shooting. “We had people almost immediately … being told ‘you people’ should not be in the military,” he says.
This news article is so studded with stupidities and down-right dangerous ideas that it makes me want to…what?
Well, here are a few ideas:
Encourage young men and women to stay away completely from the stupendously ignorant and blind bureaucracy of our present-day military.
Explain to parents that having their children chose a military career is as good as signing their death warrant.
Encourage colleges to refuse ROTC groups, but not for their usual Leftish loony reasons. Rather, we want to keep our best and our brightest alive. That psycho killer, Hasan, got his way paid through ROTC. If that doesn’t bring shame on the organization, what does? Is the ROTC even capable of self-exanimation?
Let the Muslims out of the military ASAP. That obviates any need for more Muslim chaplains, interpreters, etc. The military is not an equal opportunity employer for jihadists but you’d never know that by listening to what the bureaucrats say.
I support our military men and women. However, I reject totally the current system; it is killing them. This latest example of wanton and brutal murders was shoved under the carpet of psychobabble by those in charge, from our feckless President all the way down. Senior military officers callously sacrifice our young as they mindlessly follow Muslim Brotherhood instructions about how to integrate Muslims into our services.
The Muslim Brotherhood are the ones running this campaign and it’s time for our young men and women to refuse to go through this charade any longer. They put their lives on the line and they risk courts-martial for doing so. They are not even on the level of cannon fodder anymore. At least being cannon fodder gave you the luck of the draw and the rules of engagement were fair. The way things are now, you can die anytime some high ranking American Muslim jihadist takes it into his head to open fire. Anywhere, anytime, and for one reason: because YOU are an infidel.
This is beyond disgusting. It is immoral and it will destroy the fabric of our country if we permit the Pentagon and its Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators to keep cutting up the cloth of our military culture. This is a fixed game with a marked deck, guys. Get out while you can.
Here is more tripe:
Weinstein says he regularly gets complaints from troops who report name-calling, extra duty on holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, anti-Muslim graffiti scrawled on prayer centers, and officers who encourage their troops to kill Muslims or demand Christian prayer.
Waahh…mommy, he called me a name. Grow up or get out, you thin-skinned child.
Here’s more bright planning for recruitment:
As the U.S. fights wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the mission to recruit troops who have language and cultural skills useful there has become so critical that the Army created two programs to achieve that goal.
Last year, the Army sought 270 recruits who speak Arabic, Pashto, Dari and Farsi - the languages of Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan - to serve as military interpreters, says Douglas Smith, spokesman for the U.S. Army Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, Ky.
A second recruiting program began in February in New York and has expanded to Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas. That program targets non-citizens who have been in the U.S. at least two years and have special language and cultural skills from the Middle East, China and Korea, he said.
“Non-citizens have stepped forward to serve this country in previous wars since the American Revolution,” the military says in its briefing papers on the program.
Just what we need. More infiltration. And these people are going to trust translators like this? How about we either bring our troops home or we train them in the needed language skills? This is so lazy and incompetent that it defies explanation. Or at least any explanation that says much for the success of our eventual survival.
You can read the rest of the p.c. molasses mush here. It’s simply too creepy and suicidal to repeat any more of that MSM cant.
Meanwhile, what about Fort Hood? I avoided the subject for a long time because it was too painful to think about something so deliberate and so unnecessary. Our military leaders should be found guilty of failure to protect their troops, of dereliction of duty, of gross negligence. Anyone in a position of authority who knew about this killer and did nothing but wring his or her hands should be dishonorably discharged. Instead, they’re going to court martial just the murderer, while all those career-minded criminals who let him go on his rampage face no consequences for their malfeasance.
I was looking at the pictures of the dead and wounded today. That’s hard to do in the best of circumstances, but when you gaze on those faces and realize that their “superiors” set them up for death it is even more painful. Think of all the lives shattered by those lazy time-servers: children who grow up without parents, parents left childless, a baby left unborn in its mother’s womb. In fact, all the children of the massacred who won’t be born. Think of the boy from Mexico who managed to earn a PhD in Arizona. A kid who survived the boat trip from Laos only to be killed in this “haven” of America. The dead grandparents, the brothers and sisters.
Our nation ought to be in mourning for these families. Instead, the White House is lit up like nothing happened. They have a big gingerbread house and lots of decorations. “Fort Where?” Oh, yeah, right, someone suffering from PTSD killed a few people. Unfortunate.
Here are are the names. Look at them. These were real people with real lives who bled and died at the hands of a parasitic opportunist. Think of their families this Christmas and all the Christmases to come. A calculus of loss that eats at the innards of America while our leaders carry on with their posing and posturing.
These men and women died in the cause of someone else’s paranoid hatred:
Mike Cahill
Major L. Eduardo Caraveo
Staff Sgt. Justin M. DeCrow
Capt. John Gaffaney
Specialist Frederick Greene
Spc. Jason Dean Hunt
Sgt. Amy Krueger
Pfc. Aaron Thomas Nemelka
Pfc. Michael Pearson
Pvt. Francheska Velez (& baby)
Lt. Col. Juanita Warman
Pfc. Kham Xiong
These men and women were injured: Spc. Grant Moxon, Joey Foster, Sgt. Kimberly Munley, Spc. Keara Bono, Ray Saucedo, Cpl. Nathan Hewitt, Amber Bahr, George Stratton III, Staff Sgt. Alonzo (Mac) Lunsford, and Staff Sgt. Joy Clark.
The breadth and depth of America was represented here, some places more than once: North Carolina., Iowa, Idaho, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Utah, Wisconsin, Minnesota (by way of Laos), Chicago, California, Tennessee, Arizona (via Mexico), Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Attention must be paid to the memory or honor of each of these soldier-citizens or we will not survive the parasites who are killing us. Protect our military — encourage them not to serve in a project designed to kill or undermine them.
This country is under assault from Islam.
It is not isolated to one area. These live lost
must not be wasted. Obama did not care but I do.
Please, do not let them or the others who have given their lives in the
battle against Islam and Islamofascism.
