Don't be so dramatic, I'm not putting a gun to your head. Insulting you is also freedom of speech. Concerning islamic extremism, it's a problem in Belgium all right, but regarding severe job-market discriminations and persistant fascist rethoric in the North of Belgium, coupled with a failing integration and job-security policy, it's hardly surprising we have this problem. The islamic community in Belgium did much more for this country than it destroyed anyway.

Like what have they done exactly? Because from what I've heard, they suffer from huge unemployement and use up a huge amount of welfare money (aside from not integrating into society). I'm not from Belgium, so its up to you to back up your statements.

The unemployment and welfare benifit problem are tied together and are mainly a problem in Brussels. The welfare benifit problem isn't really that large (concerning fiscal fraud in Belgium constitutes an amount about 100X the size of social fraud) and it isn't really surprising seeing as unemployment in Brussels is generally high and with better paying jobs sometimes discriminating against minorities, that inflates the problem.

In general though, we've had directors, actors, poets and activists from the community who are just as inspiring as any Belgian. In most places, you could speak of a largely sucessful communization of the various ethnicities.
