Attacks in Brussels
Hello guys
because this website brings together people from all over the world I want to hear your opinion about last events in Brussels. What’s your opinion of refugees, Islam and etc. Is terrorism a threat for present world?
if you want to share your opinion, send me message via e-mail: [email protected]
Cheers,

I think that the majority of the Muslim world, has roundly condemned the extremism committed in Islam’s name.I’
I think that the majority of the Muslim world, has roundly condemned the extremism committed in Islam’s name.In fact they strongly believe that terrorism cannot be tolerated.The refugees who leave their countries in any way possible, risking their lives, going to an unknown future, are escaping ISIS, war and hunger.With the instability in Europe, they same thing can happen to all of us.Terrorism is not a threat anymore, unfortunately is a part of our lives.
sorry but I don’ t think terrorism must be part of our lives.
Me neither, but unfortunately, it is.I want to travel without fear, take the sub, go to concerts, walk in crowded places, but right now I’m terrified to do all those things that I’ve always enjoyed to do.My sister lives in Paris with her family, and when she delays to reply to my messages i panic and start watching the news in case something happened there.So yes, fear is a part of my life right now, and it saddens me so much when i realize that Europe will never be the same again.
Yes , i agree, we have the right to feel free, whether we want to accept islam and its rules or whatsoever, nobody is justified to kill another, because of their different nationality or religion, that is what the real islam is preaching and killing and murdering another humans is very prohibited in islam as well, but ISIS doesn´t act to the islamic rules, they are just some barbarian, who think to have the right do what they want to, but their acts has nothing to do with the real islam, i think they just mix up their retarded culture and islamic norm, but honestly, i despise such actions in the name of religion, i hope they will stop and the refugees should stay at home and fight back and rebuild their countries.
Well I didn´t read the Koran, but unfortunately the end of Koran seems to be pretty radical, so the Wahhabism and the IS just refer to those parts. As I said, I just read the conclusions and quotations of some academics/ scientist of islam.
So I think it´s really, really important to differ between the multiple streams of islam and how those who believe life as society.
Hello even though I am late but I would like to say this as a Muslim myself
Islam have nothing in common with ISIS even though they say they are Muslims its not true because Islam is all about peace and love for humanity.
As a muslim I was treated horribly because I am a muslim people think I am terrorist because I am wearing a scarf. That made me really sad to think people thought about us that way that’s why I just wanted to say that Islam is not related to ISIS
and sorry because I wrote this really late
But really thank you raff for giving us a chance to talk about something like this that effects all of the world peace
Raff hi,
What happen to my existing account it seems I cannot login. Im curious because ur giving new account does it mean I should join this contest to activate my account?
Hey raffmanga-san! just sent you my opinion through gmail but im commenting here because i just realized im a day late. is it still going to be received? i’m very sorry though that it’s a day late because i just saw this today and sent it today but right now i just realized that there isn’t any due date. so is march 23rd the due date?
Hi there how have you been raff ?
hmmm such interested topic to talk about ,so let me just say this I’m not Muslim however I live in the UAE – Dubai where the majority of people are Muslims , and I have met a lot of them in work , college and even in my daily life, so let me just tell you that there is no relationship between being a Muslim and a terrorist, people around the world thinks that Islam is the root of terrorism,and I really pity Muslim for such a bad reputation they got because of ISIS, because as my friend – a Muslim – said not every terrorist is a Muslim even if he said so , cause only god knows what inside our hearts !
Well said dear Sharon, God bless you and people who think like you and can differ between someone real Terrorist and Muslims who don´t really have anything to do with all this mess, i hope people around the World would realize the Truth. Peace <3
Hello @Fereshteh
I have also some question to you. How Germans see Muslim? Do you experienced xenophobia in Germany? Do you have maybe Turkish origin ? 
Hallo dear Raff, sorry for delay,first of all, in germany live really a lot of foreigners from all over the world but most of them are , as you thought from Turkey, but i am from Persia and actually , i experienced twice xenophobia but that was a long time ago, i think you may find xenophobia in every country and the reason is simply due to intolerance and ignorance of people across another religions or maybe nationalities, but before we take action, i think we could just get to know more about each other and for the criminal actions of some people ,we shouln´t condemn another, who don´t have anything to do with it , but back to your question, i think that german people too, are very unsure and uncomfortable about muslims and islam but to be honest the media is at fault for most of it, i hope that all people of the world would someday live with each other in peace without any fear and religion or cultural barrier , coz we are all the same <3
Sorry but the last 6 lines of your reply are very naive. That kind of utopia doesn’t exist and people need to be more realistic.
I’m french, as you know a while time ago, some terrorists attacked different places in paris. One of my collegue were in “stade de france” with their childrens to watch a football game when it happens. By chance bumbs explosed outside the “stade de france” so all the family is safe. So i’m really concerned and sad by this. But i also think muslims and terrorists have anything in common, there is no relationship between them.
I’m from Belgium as you know… this was a very sad week. Luckily none of my family and friends were hurt. But we are all mourning our fellow citizens and the people from around the world that were hurt or died in these attacks.
Hi raff..I chose to write here rather than via email bcs as a moslem I wanna tell everyone that there’s no relationship between Islam and terrorists. Like any other religion we were also taught how to respect fellow human beings n there is no such thing like violence. All can be evidenced in our lives grip, the quran and hadist. I live in a country that is majority Muslim and my country has been attacked as well. What brother who attacked his own brother? People like what who ruin his good name?? We appreciate all human beings and we love peace.. LOVE & PEACE
“What brother who attacked his own brother?…We appreciate all human beings and we love peace.”
Well said, I´m going to quote that, if I´m allowed to
Hai i’m from indonesia. And i’m moeslem, not to long ago terorist who claimed they part of isis attack us in the central oh jakarta, there’s so many victim because of the bombing I was sad, cause here and so many country like malaysia moeslem can live happily and peaceful. being tolerate to other religion is part of our faith, there’s no such a thing in our religion that said killing others are right. There’s also many moeslem who always pray for world to be in harmony and live peacefully. And as one of moeslem i’m so sorry to hear that Brussels and not to long ago french got bombing attack, but just fyi our country who live peacefully for decade also got bombing and those people who attack us are not moeslem they demon who claimed to be moeslem. I just hope that you all not judging our religion just based on some people who claimed to be islam but killing others like they nothing. I’m moeslem and I love peace, I’m a moeslem and I learn about loving each other and tolerate no matter what background they come from. Sorry for my bad english hope you get what I mean. And I pray for Belgium to keep on stay strong
Hello
Thank you very much for you comments here and all e-mails. With big pleasure I will read it and replay, but later. As you know (or not) I’m a Christian and now we have Easter – the main festival in Christianity. That’s why I was taking a break for a few days. Anyway I noticed that there are so many messages from Muslims… that’s good, because I want to know your opinion. I don’t want to know media’s opinions, but I want to know your opinions.
Dear Raff, happy easter, i am muslim, married with a christian german and love all religions and peacful life, we celebrate muslim and christian feasts and respect all living humans and creatures on this world, i hope some day we would understand the value of life.
Hi Raff! Happy easter (quite late, sorry :X)!!!
I am another muslim from France, if you would like to see how we see things, here is a link to an article!
http://www.islamicsupremecouncil.com/the-promise-of-prophet-muhammad-peace-be-upon-him-to-the-christians-of-st-catherine/
You will see how true muslims should care for the poor and do their everything on this earth to do good deeds, that make people feel relieved, like nourishing the poor, the orphans, planting trees, praying, fasting, smiling and enduring through bad days, etc…till the day they die.
There are SO many common things with christians, I can’t believe there are retards that kill in the name of our religion, and that there are other people that really believe that we are their “friends” thanks to the medias…
These murderers attacked our country, but also our religion! It saddens me to see people mixing up things cause the media just want the audience ratings and sensationalism.
Here in France, the situation is absurd: there were muslim people who died by the hands of these killers, but the government still treat us like rejects…what did we do wrong? There isn’t a day when I hear people dying without feeling my insides churning. We suffer too! Innocents shouldn’t die, really ;_;
Anyway, I am glad you asked and tried to make your own opinion about all this!!!
PS: I can never thank you enough for your work on this website and otakumole! You rock!
you are absolutly right, in Germany is not different, the people are afraid ,if they find out that you are mualim, but i try my best to explain the situatuon, that this terrorists act on their own , not for islam, this has nothing to do with religion, another muslims are their victim as well , but the goal of Media is giving people the feeling of insecurity and Fear, but we have to stick together and fight them back, God bestead and protect us all
Wrong. The media (especially the leftist media) doesn’t demonize islam. Europeans are very politically correct. Since countries want muslims to assimilate (which has been mission impossible for decades), even the governments make sure that people don’t ‘confuse’ terrorists with “regular muslims”. However…

Enjoy.
You may be right ,in one point that the europian are politically correct, but the people allow others to manipulate them easily by media, after all i was grew up in europe for the most time of my life and my husband is europian as well,what means that i know best how the atmosphere is here in europe, you don´t need to worry about it, i just don´t want to take any side, and i am aware that there will never be the utopia we wish for, because, out there are always people who will interfere with our life no matter what
I live in Europe as well, and I am well informed. So no, you don’t know best. I am not politically correct and I don’t bend over like a common European, which is why I have no problem telling you that Islam is a dangerous religion (mind you, Islam is a religion, a belief system not a race. Just saying in case you pull the racist card on me).
Dear R, you are in your opinion very aggresive, and this site is not for people who want to attack another becouse they are different in thair mind and i would never assert that you are racist therefor i don´t know you enough, but that is what you are convinced about yourself, i think you as well have no clue about the real religion, please inform yourself befor attack and yes , i know all about europe and european and i don´t care if you don´t like it though, every one is free to have thair own opinion
Is it too late to reply?:(
I’m already member of raffmanga. But still i want to write my story and my opinion about terrorisme.
With more than 200 milion muslim inhabitants, indonesia contains the langest muslim population in the world. (Well, i’m moslem)
And y’know? We attacked by terrorism so many time. But we learned and we believe we’re strong.
So the last time terrorism attacked us. As news of gunfights and explosions in jakarta (14 january 2016) capital spread on sosial media, we started tweeting the hastag #kamitidaktakut, meaning “we are not afraid”.
We’re not afraid of this kind of terror. Every day life is terror in indonesia. But thats good, we can have holiday and fun with this situation. *LOL
Look at the place where terror happened (youtube : bom sarina 14 januari 2016). Indonesia people sell coffee and cigarettes and a lot of street vendors start selling food. We’re indonesia, we’re not afraid and we’re unite.
So don’t be afraid. The whole point of terrorism is to spread terror, to make us afraid. Together, with god, we’re unbeatable.
hello mr. raffmanga as for me i am not affraid of terrorism because they were just out of numbers compared to islamic people who really believes to their allah and allah’s word.
so i dont think that terrorism are threat to our world! we have God we can call pray and asked to him for our safety if we are going somewhere specially out of country.
and i believe that islamic religion are not that bad.
even tho i myself expirience that kind of terrorism here in our (my) country (phillipines part of basilan)when i was young at the age of 11 (yrs old) i didnt feel fear.
because God will never allow that kind of kind of people to become threat to us
Hello everyone! It’s great to know the opinions of so many different people. As for me, I think It’s wrong to think there’s a problem with Islam, the problem is within the people who commit such atrocities, they are murderers and they want us to live in fear. I’m catholic and I live in Europe and yes, I’m worried this situation will worsen, but we have to stay strong and continue our lives. I really hope the refugee’s situation and our situation improves and so the world can live without terrorism and without fear, all we need is education and opportunities for those who don’t have anything.
It’s such a tragedy…what happened in Brussels, to the other countries/cities in the past as well, is devastating. What’s the point of taking the lives of people? If these people, terrorists, want to send a message…then let it be known without creating casualties. Life is so precious. Life should be celebrated. Never distort the meaning of peace. Peace is for every living being.
Reading the news stories it’s so shocking the amount of immediate and judgmental hate that Muslims are being decorated with. As much as the ISIS and extremist terror groups appear as cults, the Muslim hating community also feels like a growing cult of its own. It’s sad that the followers of peaceful Islam are being coded red and have to carry the burden of the intolerant.
The world is facing trauma after trauma. To heal a place, politics also wants to use trauma. I don’t know is this is the world dishing out necessary evil for the human race to understand or realise something, or if this is just the start of Armageddon.
hey there raff I may be late . With the situation that is going on around in Europe is madness. I do not understand how some muslins would use their own religion as a excuse to cause harm to the rest of the people in the world or even kill people. I honestly do not believe that their God would want them to actually kill people. Another thing is that I feel like that are asking for attention, and to me I do not believe that they are trying to prove that they are the most powerful because they are hiding. Another thing is that it is sad that people would judge all people who are muslins. Not all of them are the same like those who want to cause harm to the world. In times like this we need to help one another, look at for each other because this world we live in is getting dangerous and dangerous each day. It is sad that when you walk out of your house that people have to worry if something bad is going to happen. Be safe everyone, and thank you for this raff. This was my first post every and I like it a lot, because being able to express my options really helps.
Hi raff. Im a muslim too and tbh as long as the media remains biased against us you will hear little of muslim opinion. I think one of the real issues surrounding the terrorism problems in the muslim youths in the west is the lack of opportunities the youths have in muslim communities living in western. We are already considered to be from disadvantaged ethnic backgrounds, ethnic minorities perform less well academically and it is harder to get into better jobs when you look at the stats. Where there appears to be areas where muslim communities are under greater suspicion are also areas deprived areas in terms of the local economy. I feel that the youths grow up in these deprived areas, see how difficult it is for their peers to do well in life and ultimately they are more vulnerable to the idea of a more exciting life. All these ISIS recruits have to do is exploit the idea of giving your life to god as a purpose in life and that its better to move into syria and that and gain better monetary opportunities too.
However muslim scholars have repeatedly advised people that to get involved in syria is to be just a political pawn, that there are too many factions and you will end up being manipulayed and used. Also every time an attack carried out by a so called muslim happens they always take to social media to condemn such hideous acts of violence and terror. But the media never invite these people to share their view on tv or newspaper. Instead you have fox news who love to invite idiots like anjem chowdury who only add to the media circus
Governments have to be serious about engaging with the muslim communities and tacle the issues of inequality.
Also you would notice that the attacks carried out by some of the people in paris, the peopke were not from the current refugees coming into europe but from the community of muslims that have generally been raised in western countries. The problem in my opinion is the lack of real opportunities that muslim youths have access to and more should be done by governments actively invest and engage in more disadvantaged communities in general.
Is it only government fault or also Muslims community? I read a lot of report and also did my own research and I noticed that so many Muslims don’t know language, they are also poorly educated, they are also closing to the western culture and following rules of the country of origin. Patriarchal and very traditional model of family that stand in opposition to accepted value.
Here I have a question. Why they flee from country that nothing can give them and tried to introduce their rules that not worked.I’m also against social- from everyone, because it born pathology.People should always develop/go ahead,not remain in stagnation.
Another problem is problem of values in Europe. Europe is always extreme. Once they don’t like anyone who look another, later they love everyone. Now I feel that Europe culture is very insipid, boring, but we shouldn’t forget that Europe was founded on Christian values. Of course Church is another topic for discussion. When I think about it, I’m always nervous 😛
How you think, what she should do, if we want to improve this situation? Building of ghetto isn’t a good option, because it isn’t favorable to integration, because we don’t have contact with another culture.
By the way our scholars tell us not to go to get involved with the fighting on places like syria because it is not about islam, its all about political agenda…
And to add to that these terrorists who carry out such atrocities in the name of islam are in no way representing myslims but are fools duped by political agendas. Islam explicitly condemns the killing of innocents. It is wrong to even hurt a tree in war as well as women and children.
I know not everyone is of the same mindset, but all life is precious. I don’t fall for political media and their rhetoric spouting bigotry against others.
emm no si yo… como argentina puede comentar ya que la mayoría es de habla ingles pero… soy creyente pero no meto a mi religión con el objetivo de matar y “hacer un cambio” o como quieran llamarlo, hay muchos youtuber’s famosos que hacen videos de concientizacion sobre este tema pero son dejados de lado porque a la semana sale otra noticia de que los musulmanes/terroristas hicieron algo peor, la verdad no se que decir porque entiendo que no todos son malos pero la gente en el sufrimiento no se pone a diferenciar, en mi pais llega la noticia pero critican y los ponen a todos en la misma bolsa y no es asi. ojala la gente no cometiera ese error
Associating Islam and terrorism is the same as associating christianism and pedophilia and KKK. The authors of these acts don’t believe in anything. They are just criminals, period!
I was born and raised in Paris, France but moved to the US a few years ago. I heard a lot of people here in the US saying that they were scared to travel to Europe now with everything that happened lately… And mentioned how it was safer here, in the US…
Well… How many mass shooting was there in 2015 in the U.S. again? How many people died because of some mentally disturbed people who decided to make innocent people pay for their frustration? More… Way more than during the recent attacks in Paris and Brussel… And what answer the american government provided to keep us safe? Well… None.
To me, there is absolutely no difference between the terrorists and the various authors of mass shooting worldwide. Their goal is the same: killing…as many people as possible.
People who say there are scared to travel to Europe should understand that this thing could happen anywhere, whether the excuse is religion, or a bad childhood, there will always be sick people in this world we live in.
God bless you
First of all, the very deep meaning of Islam is PEACE. As a Muslim myself, I am truly mortified by this tragedy. It is sad how those people are using Islam as a means to justify their deeds. No matter how you look at it, it is wrong to kill innocent people. For me, they are just Muslim in names only but not in the heart. Violence or should I say terrorism contradicts the meaning of Islam. Murder is a sin.
“Suicide is haram in Islam. It’s prohibited, like a mortal sin. And murder is haram. And to kill civilians is murder.”
-Prophet Muhammad-
Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. It is a religion. What we have to evaluate is the person itself who commit the crime. Some people who hate Islam just taking advantage when this kind of incident happened, putting us as the bad ‘guy’.
Utter rubbish. The Myth of Moderate Islam will be the End of the World.
In the Bible, it says that God will allow people to reject the Son of God.
God allowed Islam to exist because people dont want to repent and apologize to God for their sins against Him.
Anyone who supports Islam is helping us come closer to the End of the World sooner.
Thanks for nothing at all.
I’ve stumbled onto this post and was really bothered about the fact that people think there is an actual relation between terrorism and Islam. I know it’s been a long time since this post was uploaded and I wasn’t even going to write a response since others have already explained it well but then I read the latest comment and thought I should repeat – Islam Has nothing to do with terrorism, muslims are just as terrified from the attack as the rest of the world except we are also dealing with tons of prejudice,hate and threats. I hate victimizing but people should really think before speaking we are all humans firstly and we are all equal.
