Can't really think about programming today. It's a sad, sad day in Belgium. Terrorism took over 30 lives today. How pointless...

I myself live in West-Vlaanderen, but I have lots of friends in the bigger cities and my thoughts are with them now.
True, but the sad fact is that people who do these things are doing this in the name of religion/God.
Maybe some formal similarities exist.. but I beg to differ because what's happening today never happened before in the name of any god. In the past, parties to all wars or even atrocities knew and expected their enemies.. and it was army against army, men against men, bayonets against bayonets.. Muslims knew the crusaders were coming.. Muslims sent warnings before conquering other nations,
and regardless of the correctness or incorrectness of these incidents in history, but all parties to them were transparent and their intentions and goals were known to each other. Even in invading other nations, Mohamed told his men not to kill a child, a woman, the old, and not to cut a green tree. Muslims today are receiving better treatment as citizens in the West than in their home countries and when Muslims ruled parts of Europe, Jewish people had a golden age in terms of freedom and well being and lived in a much better position than under other nations.
Today I don't know these people (as Trump says
).. by no means they are Muslims regardless of their claims or apparent practices of Islamic prayers. The problem is that Muslims are not voicing their positions enough, and in my opinion this is out of ignorance and confusion.
The problem is when an ignorant and fearful bastard rise to power, usually gets a wonderful text and perverts so that, when reciting, has nothing to do with the original message. It reaches deep into the minds of the poor people in poverty, ignorance and despair, as well as the easily impressionable young minds. Usually are much more radical young veterans, even those who have suffered in their own flesh the abuses of their "enemies".
What we still have not realized is that the concept of "war" has changed. No longer respect anything ... civilians are the primary objectives in modern war zones. At other times, civilians were collateral damage, secondary objectives.
A greeting.

if it isn't why are they always yelling "Allahoe akbar" or what ever it is before they start killing people?
If they kill people then I think it wouldn't be that hard for them to yell allau Akbar...
