Belgium: The Attractions for Islamist Extremists
Expatica today quotes Luc Verdeheyden, Belgium's director of the anti-terror unit AGG.
"Belgium is in fact very attractive for extremist Muslim groups. Belgians are among these extremists, but they are primarily foreigners," he said. "Our land is so attractive due to the presence of international organisations. Therefore, there are a lot of media teams stationed here and extremist groups need the media to spread their Propaganda."
Verdeheyden said the lax laws against such propaganda in Belgium permit glorifications of terror to go unchecked.
His organisation, AGG, gathers intelligence collected by other intelligence agencies and the federal police which is then analyzed.
