“‘I spent the day as a zombie,’ said Mustapha Chairi, head of the Belgian Centre against Islamophobia (CCIB). ‘I just took the metro prior to the one that exploded.'”
Maybe he really did take the metro just prior to the one that exploded. It’s an absolutely unverifiable and undisprovable claim. Whether it is true or not, it is a sly way of reminding the world that Muslims were, or could have been, killed in these jihad bombings, and that therefore — in a logical leap that has become commonly accepted today, despite its illogic — the killers were not really true Muslims or acting in the name of Islam.
In any case, this article is just one of an endless series of similar articles, claiming victimhood status for Muslims in the wake of a jihad massacre. This is because in today’s insane society, victimhood is currency, and the people quoted in this article very much want to get rich.
“2016 Brussels attacks: On anniversary, Muslims remain stigmatised,” by Daniela De Lorenzo, Al Jazeera, March 22, 2021:
Brussels, Belgium – Five years ago, on the morning of March 22, 2016, three coordinated suicide bombings hit Brussels, killing 32 people and injuring more than 300 others.
The attacks at the Zaventem airport and the Maelbeek metro station were claimed by ISIL (ISIS).
Locals were banned from leaving their homes so police could carry out searches.
“I spent the day as a zombie,” said Mustapha Chairi, head of the Belgian Centre against Islamophobia (CCIB). “I just took the metro prior to the one that exploded.”
Chairi suddenly felt powerless as he foresaw the consequences the bombings would have on Belgium’s Muslim minority, having observed the aftermath of the deadly violence at the Bataclan in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015.
There are about some 575,000 Muslims in Belgium, about 5 percent of the population.
Monday marks five years since the tragedy in Belgium, and permanent wounds remain across the country as a whole – and in Muslim communities.
“After the attack, all sort of Muslim organisations have been screened … [stigmatising] part of the population,” said Chairi.
According to the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism (UNIA), which has been documenting acts of Islamophobia for 10 years, such discrimination has not lessened since 2016 in the Belgian capital.
Muslim women who wear the hijab have been at particular risk.
“If the objective of fighting terrorism is noble, in reality, it has resulted in the stigmatisation of a specific community,” said 31-year-old Imane Nachat, a high school teacher in Brussels.
“The feeling is of being potentially rejected, at any moment. A friend wearing a headscarf was hit by a driver. They deliberately drove into her and fled.”
Fatima-Zohra Ait El Maâti, a 24-year-old filmmaker and activist who also wears the hijab, said: “I have not lived in a Belgian society which was not Islamophobic at some point in time. We have probably normalised it within us.”…
As the country mourns the victims of the attacks five years ago, some Muslims feel unable to share their grief.
Commemorations of attacks can easily turn into moments for anti-Muslim propaganda, said Chairi.
“I’m expecting that this week there’s going to be a lot of Islamophobic phenomena,” he said, adding harassment has moved from public spaces to social media….

Let me guess, this viperess did NOTHING to help shut down “radical mosques” or start a movement to “reform” the koran???? Or go to the funerals of the Belgian Chrisitians…??
mortimer says
An example of DENIAL and TAQIYYA … Mustapha Chairi, head of the Belgian Centre against Islamophobia (CCIB).
Mr. Chairi, DENY THIS …
Official Definition of Jihad according to Saudi Arabia:
“Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.” – footnotes on p.39, ‘The Noble Koran’, published by King Fahd Complex for Publication of the Quran, Madinah, KSA.
Conclusion: for Mustapha Chairi, Islam has NOTHING TO DO with Islam.

Four minors arrested in Belgium with plots for Islamist terrorist attacks: one had already bought a machete
Until five months ago, not a single minor was on the list of people monitored by the Belgian terrorist threat agency OCAD. However, in early November 2020, two minors were arrested in Eupen. They were planning a terrorist attack against the police. At the beginning of 2021, four more minors were arrested. They were planning individual attacks.
One of the youths had bought a machete,” Justice Minister Vincent Van Quickenborne told VRT, “The other wanted to buy knives. These are so-called lone wolves, unstable personalities who have contact with hate preachers on the internet and are influenced by extremist ideologies. They had not made the terror plans together, but each on his own.”
The Belgian security services took the situation seriously and arrested the four youths, who now remain in a facility for young people. They remain under surveillance and in contact with organisations that are supposed to take care of their deradicalisation.
“They are young Belgians from different backgrounds,” the justice minister stressed: “Some have converted to Islam, some come from Flanders, others from Wallonia. What strikes us above all is that they are young people and families who were not known to the security services. Which makes the work more difficult. Radicalisation takes place in front of the computer screen. That’s why you have to track them down quickly. We succeeded in doing that in this case.”
Why these young people are zealous for radical Islam is not yet clear. Probably that this radicalisation has taken place in recent months.
“It is striking that the murder of Samuel Paty was also an important signal of the radicalisation of minors in Belgium,” says Justice Minister Van Quickenborne. The French history teacher had shown two caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed during a lesson on freedom of expression. As a result, he was beheaded by a radical youth.
“We are now seeing minors on our terrorist list for the first time in three years,” he continued. “First the two minors in Eupen. And now we have four more underage individual perpetrators. (…) We absolutely have to keep an eye on these young people.” The Corona crisis can also trigger radicalisation. Young people spend more time on the computer and have fewer extracurricular activities.
Why these young people are fervent for radical Islam is not yet clear. Probably that this radicalisation has taken place in the last few months.

More Muslim narcissism. They never think of anyone else but themselves and their fellow Muslim narcissists. After all, infidels have no value at all to Muslims, except as punching bags, who are to be tormented, treated like crap or killed, so this neverending, totally self-involved Muslim victimhood fantasy goes on and on. It is truly sickening the way Muslims are continually murdering non-Muslims in terrorist attacks and yet, over and over again, we get these Muslim maggots claiming that they, the poor dears, are the victims. I definitely don’t buy any of their bullshit for even a single second. Oh, and there’s that endlessly used, bullshit term, Islamophobia, being used again. “Belgian Centre Against islamophobia”… Give us a break. What a load of crap that centre would be, full of whingeing, whining, totally narcissistic Muslim “victims”

“More Muslim narcissism. They never think of anyone else but themselves and their fellow Muslim narcissists.”
The obvious is too infrequently clearly stated.
Well done, tim…
mortimer says
I must partly disagree. ‘Narcissism’ is a serious illness and Islam is an ideology. Though there may be an element of narcissism in Islam for some Muslims, for most Muslims they self-effacement is what they pursue. Most Muslims STIFLE their own independence of thought and their own egos ‘for the sake of Allah’.
In other words, most Muslims take PRIDE in being HUMBLE and for accepting the absurdities of Allah and the mullahs who interpret his impenetrable, contradictory nonsense.
James Lincoln says
mortimer,
Thank you for the reply, point taken.
Some – but not all – muslims are narcissistic; and the relationship of narcissism to islam is complex…
somehistory says
tg,
Some years ago, a professor in several of my anti-terror courses, a psychologist and former Special FBI Agent, went over the characteristics of the psychopathic personality; and one of the texts we used was written by Dr. Robert Hare, titled “Without Conscience, the Disturbing World of the Psychopath.” (“Snakes in Suits, When Psychopaths Go to Work” is his too).
When seeing the actions of mo slums, I could see all of the characteristics of the psychopath in them. As my professor kept pointing out, in the psychopath’s mind, their way is to think, “it’s all about me!” (me being the psychopath).
The psychopath will always see himself/herself as the “victim” even when they are actively victimizing and manipulating others. They are never going to say they are sorry or regret anything, and will never accept the blame for anything. If they victimize for money, when the victim is all spent out, the psychopath moves on without a backward glance, seeking his next victim.
As Mr. Glazov has written most recently, the mo slum is a dangerous psychopath. islam teaches them to murder, rape, steal, etc. and the same traits that the non mo slum psychopath exhibits are clearly seen in the mo slum.
Some people may murder…and regret it. Some may steal, or commit other crimes, and regret it. These people accept the blame. They are not psychopaths.
But, mo slums are not the kind of criminal that will ever regret the actions, never accept responsibility. If they believe they have performed in a good way, they will accept credit, but when they are being blamed, the fault is always, always, someone else’s.
john smith says
Excellent post absolutely spot on, I also see the characteristics of the psychopath in them. Most muslims aren’t born to be psychopath’s, but when they strive their entire lives to emulate muhammad, (who was a psychopath) thats what they become.

True, Somehistory and John.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comments, James, mortimer and somehistory. I would have replied earlier but I was out playing my weekly game of golf with a couple of friends. I was thinking, mortimer, that i should probably not have used the term narcissism, as it is some type of mental illness. It is a term thrown around a fair bit as being monumental self-centredness. I was thinking of the extreme level of self-centredness that Muslims very often do display. There is also a huge level of self pity. Muslims get around murdering non-Muslims in these neverending terrorist attacks and yet they seem to constantly then turn around and try to sell us the idea that the poor Muslims are the unfortunate victims of the natural anger that non-Muslims develop with these murderous attacks. somehistory, I used to read some true crime books a few years back and I have a vague recollection of coming across the name Robert Hare and his work on psychopaths. It might have been in a book I read on Jeffrey Dahmer, though I’m not sure about that. Psychopaths sound like appalling people, and my main reaction to their total indifference to the welfare of other human beings is, I hope the hell I never come across one of these creatures. It is good to be aware of the existence of, and nature of psychopaths. What you mention does seem to fit the deeply evil Muslim terrorist scum that infest many of our countries these days. On the issue of the Muslims committing atrocious terrorist acts and then trying to convince us that they, the Muslims are the victims, I keep thinking – how dumb do they think we non-Muslims are? Do they seriously think that we are going to like them when Muslims keep carrying out these vile attacks? To me , it is extraordinarily weird. I guess they’ll try anything on and hope some people are so gullible that they’ll buy this crap.
underbed cat says
Muslim generated and provoked islamopobia covers the tracks and airports, fields and cities, churches, bars hospitals, tall buildings,and busineses and they still claim their the victims…..some are, but the words reveal why they act are hidden away in the very term they use to decieve and seldom reveal the truth.But the acts speak louder….and reveal if they read why some, far too many,act it out. When the press can throw off the sharia chains of silence and calculated deception the truth will come out…..what they find is not a race or mental illness but a decision to act.

Mustapha Chairi, head of the Belgian Centre against Islamophobia (CCIB) has said that .“‘I spent the day as a zombie,’ Well, there is nothing unusual there as all Muslims spend their days on Earth as a sort of Zombie under the cloud of belief in Mohammed and Islam.

the cloud was probably flies attracted by his smell

Richard, you are not funny. Many Muslims LIBERALLY PERFUME themselves in imitation of Mohammed. Can you learn something?
Salamah ibn Kuhayl said: “The Apostle of Allah, may Allah bless him, did not obtain anything from worldly objects dearer to him than women and perfumes.” (Ibn Sa’d, Kitab al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, Volume 1, p. 469)

Actually, Muslim hygiene is overall pretty poor, since all that is imporant is ritual cleanliness.
somehistory says
These creeps are psychopaths. Their thinking is “it’s all about ME!” They believe that they are wonderful and should be worshipped by all non-mo slums; and when they don’t get the adoration they crave, it’s “oh, poor me,” in order to ****manipulate**** others into giving them what they demand…adoration and praise and subjugation.
Why should they spend a moment of their so-valuable time giving a thought to the dead, the injured, the families of these, when those lives are nothing more than the dirt beneath the mo slum’s filthy feet? The mo slums are the important ones; the ones whose lives are meaningful and worthy of complete and utter devotion, and they insist that the rest of humankind recognize this.
People are laying upon them, their “community,” responsibility for the murders, and that is just totally unacceptable. They want the recognition in the form of ***credit***…not blame.

Then why doesn’t he take this up with his murderous coreligionists, instead of pretending that the ‘filthy Infidels’ are somehow the problem?

Fatima-Zohra Ait El Maâti is in denial as well. She is a member of a death cult that explodes bombs somewhere in the world EVERY DAY.
When the JIHADISTS’ bombs are going off every day, why is she surprised that people move away from her in caution?
mortimer says
These Muslim apologists are so insincere. Islam contains a CANONICAL and COMPULSORY teaching requiring Muslims to HATE and SHOW HOSTILITY towards kafirs (AL WALAA WAL BARAA).
Then they pretend that they are innocent and benign when they actually harbor HOSTILITY inwardly towards non-Muslims..
Sahih Bukhari records that Abu ad-Darda (a companion of Mohammed) said, “We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.”
Ibn Kathir in his commentary on Koran 3.28 says:
“BELIEVERS ARE ALLOWED TO SHOW FRIENDSHIP TO THE DISBELIEVERS OUTWARDLY, BUT NEVER INWARDLY.”

Let us not forget that there is a Political Party practicing and campaigning in Belgium today, called The Islam Party, they openly declare as their platform that Belgium will become an islamic Nation and that sharia will be the law of the land… for everybody… No more hiding behind the mosque or the political curtain, now they are out front and in the face of the people of that county.
Let us also not forget that Brussels is the HQ for the EU so once Belgium was too become an islamic Nation then the fall of Europe will indeed follow..
Thankfully I may not see this coming to pass, but I watch my beautiful European Culture be destroyed by savages who wish to live in the 7th Century and its very sad indeed that it is morons Of The Left that seem to feel the need to bring this forward as fast as possible… They are surely in for a huge shock when they learn what a massive mistake they have made.

Yes–scary stuff.
gregbeetham says
The ‘radicalization’ isn’t because they had learnt something from outside Islam that triggered them to depart from Islam on some radical path, that’s fiction.
All that happened was that someone pointed out how they weren’t currently practising Islam properly and proceeded to teach them what was actually in the Koran, a basic fact that the establishment keep missing.
And btw as a separate issue, yes Muslims could have been killed in the 2016 Jihad attacks but the Jihadists claim that if a Muslim is killed accidentally by another Muslim while carrying out Jihad that Muslim will go to Jannah and be by the side of Allah.
Giacomo Latta says
“If the objective of fighting terrorism is noble, in reality, it has resulted in the stigmatisation of a specific community,”
You bet! The larger muslim community is being stigmatised as not pulling its own weight. What has it been doing to fulfill the master plan in the koran?
Giacomo Latta says
”They had not made the terror plans together, but each on his own.”
And yet they all had the same plan which was to be executed at the same time. Great minds think alike, unlike you Judge.
Cock Paul says
Indeed, Belgium internet moslims where angry because some muslims got killed, That kufars where kiled did not seem to matter so much. When I made a comment on their internet, someboddy treatened to kill me. My god what a clownworld we live in.

‘We are not walking hijabs’
Muslim women are also starting to organise through intersectional feminist movements.
“This needs to be seen as a woman’s rights issue. It’s not about religion, nor politics,” said Tulkens-Azami, who is the founder of the collective Belges Comme Vous (Belgians Like You).
“We are not walking hijabs, we are women and we are being discriminated against as such.”
1.”The veil”, mandated by Qur’an, absolutely IS about both religion and politics, as Islam IS a theocracy.
2. What Islam teaches, expects and demands of you is the reason both Muslim men and women are being discriminated against.
To be clear….
