When I was there back in October, there were police all over the place. It was tense then, and that was before the French attack or the refugee crisis taking off.

And I would bet that this attack is from Muslims residents, not recent immigrants... just like the French attacks. The problems with Islam in Europe were deep-seated long before the new immigrants came. And it is far more complex than some talking heads would have you believe.

Spent some time in Brussels in '06.  We ended up getting off at the wrong train station, a few too many past the Grand Place stop.  Ended up in an area with a dense muslim population.  We got a hotel in that area and walked to and from Grand Place several times.  I've never seen anything like it.  Every store front had signs condemning the isreali occupation and US bombing campaigns.  I agreed with them, but I sure as shit wasn't stopping to discuss.
