Voices have been increasingly raised in Belgium against Saudi Arabia and the spreading of Wahhabi and Salafist ideology in Europe, French journalist and founder of Agora Erasmus political organization Karel Vereycken told Sputnik, commenting on the recent Islamists’ terror attacks in Brussels.
On Tuesday, March 22, a series of explosions struck the city of Brussels, Belgium; the infamous Daesh (ISIS/ISIL) terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Commenting on the deadly Brussels assaults the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization (ICSR) underscored that “compared to other Western countries, Belgium is particularly vulnerable to jihadist terrorism.”
“First, the country has an especially longstanding and well-organized network of radical Islamist recruiters. Second, its police and intelligence agencies lack the resources to counter the surge in jihadist recruiting over the last five years,” the ICSR reported Thursday, adding that “an estimated 500 Belgian nationals have travelled to Syria or Iraq with the intention of joining militant groups.”
In general, the country has Europe’s highest known per capita participation rate in Islamist groups, like Daesh and al-Qaeda.
“Increasingly, voices have been raised against Saudi Arabia and the spreading of Wahhabi fundamentalism through the Saudi-run Great mosque of Brussels and the Centre Islamique de Belgique (CIB) of Molenbeek, where many young criminals were recruited for making the trip to Syria,” French journalist and founder of Agora Erasmus, the Belgian LaRouche movement, Karel Vereycken told Sputnik.
