Belgium is 'launch pad for terrorists' 
By Ambrose Evans-Pritchard in Brussels
(Filed: 04/06/2002) 
Islamic terrorists have turned Belgium into a recruiting base and 
the launch pad for future attacks across Europe, according to a 
leaked official dossier.
The report by the Belgian parliament's intelligence committee, 
based on the files of the Belgian secret services, found that the 
Saudi-backed Salafi movement had created a religious "state" within 
Belgium.
Activists operated their own "Islamic police" to enforce Islamic 
rules and punish drug-dealers, prostitutes, and alcohol sellers.
Group members were circulating videos of Osama bin Laden and had 
carried out paramilitary training and parachute jumps in the 
Ardennes.
There are 350,000 muslims in Belgium and the report said several of 
the country's influential clerics were tied to bin Laden.
The handful of senators privy to the secret report claimed that 
Belgium was harbouring a fifth column that could turn dangerous in 
any future Middle East conflict.
The report said most of the recruits were second and even third 
generation immigrants, chiefly from North Africa, who appeared to 
have rejected the Belgian way of life, even though Belgium, like 
neighbouring Holland, had tried to serve as a model of tolerant 
integration.
The report concluded that Belgium had become "a logistical support 
base" for terrorist groups abroad - favoured by bin Laden's 
al-Qa'eda network, the Algerian Armed Islamic Group GIA, the Wabahi 
Tabligh movement and the Hamas-linked Muslim Brotherhood.
Armand De Decker, president of the Belgian senate, said: "A lot of 
these extreme groups are attempting to 're-Islamise' Belgium's 
Muslim population in the most radical fashion.
"We've got to defend our values, our liberty, our democracy with 
open eyes, knowing that they most certainly intend to destroy them."
Belgium serves as an ideal base because of its open-door 
immigration policy and a "hands-off" attitude towards the 70 mosques 
and 300 Islamic centres - many subsidised by Belgian taxpayers - 
that have sprung up in the cities.
The situation is said to make it easy to "spread propaganda and 
collect funds" and "to recruit candidates for the Jihad" in schools, 
prisons, hospitals, and sports centres.
The report also raised questions about Belgium's Muslim Executive, 
which is officially recognised as the Muslim negotiating body. It 
said that the executive, far from acting as a moderating pressure, 
had increasingly fallen under the influence of radical groups bent 
on confrontation.
The security services said that Belgium itself was not a target of 
terrorist groups, a finding that is likely to revive allegations 
that the authorities have in the past turned a blind eye to 
conspiracies hatched on Belgian soil in exchange for immunity from 
attack.
The FBI complained bitterly after September 11 that the Belgian 
judiciary was withholding key information needed to track down 
al-Qa'eda activists before the intelligence leads turned cold.
It has since come to light that leading terrorists have been 
travelling the world on Belgian passports, either stolen or sold by 
corrupt officials.
One of the killers of Gen Ahmad Shah Massoud, the leader of 
Afghanistan's Northern Alliance, carried Belgian documents.
Filip Deman, a leader of the growing anti-immigrant Vlaams Blok 
movement and a member of the parliamentary investigation, said 
Belgium's elite coalitions had been brushing the Muslim problem 
under the carpet for years.
He said: "It was taboo to even talk about it under our code of 
political correctness, but this report cannot be ignored."

Dove si nota che il giornalista e' un razzista come pochi?
Dalla smarronata che fa nell'inciso " - molte moschee ricevono sussidi
dal contribuente Belga - " dice, ignorando il fatto che 
i musulmani (coma altri emigrati) ci arrivati in Belgio per lavorare
ovvero (semplice relazione nel caso qualche leghista legga questo post)
lavoro >> tasse >> chi paga le tasse e' un contribuente (taxpayer)
E' ovvio, a chiunque abbia una visione economica che vada oltre a
quella del contadino celta che vaga sull rive del grande fiume po',
che l'utilizzo delle tasse serve per l'erogazione di servizi ritenuti
utili al pagatore delle tasse stesso. Come si fa una crocetta
per contribuire alla Chiesa Cattolica cosi'  lo si fa su altri culti
religiosi. Il sistema di contribuzione Belga di preciso non lo conosco
(se i contributi siano volontari e deducibili dalle tasse, se fissi etc..)
ma un  qualsiasi contributo statale ad un ente religioso va inquadrato 
in questo senso, ovvero contribuente Belga di religione Mussulmana
che desidera che parte delle tasse vadano alla sua Moschea.
Ripeto, solo essendo arretrati come dei leghisti (o simil-leghisti)
si possono scrivere questi incisi razzisti.
