Islamic terrorism in Europe would have been impossible without a safe haven. Philippe Moureaux provided this safe haven in exchange for votes to the Belgian Socialist Party. He was a real scumbag.

About Molenbeek

Molenbeek, is one of 19 municipalities in the Brussels-Capital Region (Belgium). The commune of Molenbeek has gained a reputation for being a safe haven for jihadists in relation to the support shown by some residents towards the bombers who carried out terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels.

According to Le Monde, the assassins who killed anti-Taliban commander Ahmed Shah Massoud both came from Molenbeek.

Hassan el-Haski, one of the 2004 Madrid terror bombers came from Molenbeek.

The perpetrator of the Jewish Museum of Belgium shooting, Mehdi Nemmouche, lived in Molenbeek for a time.

Ayoub El Khazzani, the perpetrator of the 2015 Thalys train attack, stayed with his sister in Molenbeek.

French police believe the weapons used in the Porte de Vincennes siege the same day as the Charlie Hebdo shooting were sourced from Molenbeek.

The bombers of the November 2015 Paris attacks were also traced to Molenbeek.

During the Molenbeek capture of Salah Abdeslam, an accomplice of the Paris bombers, protesters “threw stones and bottles at police and press during the arrest”, stated the Interior Minister of Belgium, Jan Jambon.

November 2015 Paris attacks — At least three of the terrorists in the November 2015 Paris attacks — the brothers Brahim and Salah Abdeslam, alleged accomplice Mohamed Abrini, and the alleged mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud — are men who grew up and lived in Molenbeek.

According to French President François Hollande, that was also where they organised the attacks.

On 18 March 2016, Salah Abdeslam, a suspected accomplice in those attacks, was captured in two anti-terrorist raids in Molenbeek that killed another suspect and injured two others. At least one other suspect remains at large. Ibrahim (born 9 October 1986 in Brussels) was involved in the attempted robbery of a currency exchange office in January 2010, where he shot at police with a Kalashnikov rifle.

The Mayor of Brussels, Freddy Thielemans, and the Mayor of Molenbeek, Philippe Moureaux, described the shooting as a “fait divers” (a small daily news item) and “normal in a large city”, causing controversy.

Police investigation — As several of the attackers in the Brussels and Paris terrorist attacks had connections to the area, Belgian police started door-to-door checks where a quarter of Molenbeek’s inhabitants were investigated, a total of 22 668.

This operation resulted in that of the 1600 organisations investigated, 102 were found to be involved with crime and a further 52 were involved with terrorism. 72 individuals were found to have terrorist connection and were subject to future surveillance.
