Murder Shocks Brussels While PM and Cardinal Blame Victims( African Muslims VS Belgian society )

Canada Free Press ^ | Thursday, April 20, 2006 | Paul Belien

Last Wednesday Joe Van Holsbeeck, 17 years of age, was murdered in Brussels Central Station. He was stabbed five times in the heart by North African youths. They demanded that he give them his MP3 player. When Joe refused he was savagely murdered. The atrocity happened during the evening rush hour on a crowded platform. Though there were hundreds of people on the platform, no-one interfered – perhaps because many people do not notice what is happening around them on a crowded, noisy and busy platform where passengers are rushing to catch their trains.

Joe’s murderers escaped and have not yet been traced. The murderers were filmed, however, by security cameras. Today, one week later, the Brussels police released the pictures. The police say they are looking for two youths aged between 16 and 18-years-old. Joe’s murder has shocked the Belgians.

For an entire week the police, the authorities and most of the media have tried to downplay the fact that the killers are Muslim youths. Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt and Cardinal Godfried Danneels addressed the indignation, but gave it a spin of their own. How was it possible for such an atrocity to take place in a crowd with no-one interfering, they asked. Both Verhofstadt and Danneels said that Joe was a victim of “indifference in Belgian society.” “Where were you last Wednesday at 4 pm?!” the Cardinal asked the congregation in Brussels Cathedral during his Easter sermon on Sunday.

The Cardinal blamed the murder on the materialism and greed of Western society “where people get killed for an MP3 player.”
Belgian citizens realize, however, that the murder has nothing to do with “indifference in Belgian society,”

This is what passes for journalism nowadays...

There, corrected the sentence.

I see three ways the Cardinal could have gone:
1) Reference Moses and the Ten Commandments. Emphasize "Thou shalt not kill".
2) Reference Jesus and the Great Commandment "Love one another".
3) Reference Karl Marx and Social Justice and slam the West for producing desirable goods.
He probably felt it was an easy choice.

Didn't Cain kill Abel before there were any kind of 'materialism' and 'greed of Western society'? Why do a cardinal go with social theory instead of biblical teachings?

Easy for him to say. What do the good cardinal and the North African young thugs have in common?

I'll leave it up to the reader to decide.

I shall have to revisit the ancient philosophers... and the Bible, to try to understand how humanity, including the parasitic "cardinal", could devolve to this.

The journalist is right, why didn't one of those honest Citizens draw his legally carried firearm and put a stop to this murder?
Oh yeah, Europe has gun control and serfs, not CCW and Citizens.

Good point! Nowadays it's not fashionable to say "good" or "bad", but instead, "maladjusted" or "disadvantaged", or "alleged". Since the 60s we've lost the focus on all values except money, and even that slips and slides in relative value like a block of ice on a hot stove.

We live in an age of no maps and no compasses.

The "indifference" in Belgium is the same as the "indifference" here in the U.S.:

Our leaders are indifferent to how uncontrolled, unplanned immigration, illegal AND legal, can destroy a nation.

Time for wholesale voting out of office.

That is but one ingredient. Domestically-raised hoods, criminals and murderers, as cited above, are just as easily coddled and tolerated, rather than executed.

Cardinal Godfried Danneels

someone not brave enough to blame the real culprit.

I would point out to His Eminence that it was not materialism and greed that killed the victim, it was a group of murderous Muslim thugs!

Danneels is well known as the most liberal Catholic prelate in Europe. Several of his close associates have been disciplined or excommunicated for their twisted theological impostures.

Isn't diversity and multiculturalism wonderful? I wonder if the Belgian people want more of it in their country? ________________________________________
Looks like "High Noon" has come to Belgium. When any government demands a monopoly over crime prevention on pain of arrest and prosecution of would-be Good Samaritans, people rapidly decide that minding their own business is the prudent course.

Cardinal Godfried Danneels

One of the most "progressive" princes of the Church. Pick a social issue and you'll most likely find Cardinal Danneels on the opposite side of it from official Church teaching.
