Fear wins out in Brussels. Belgians can thank their leaders, who have brought this problem upon themselves with their disastrous policies regarding Muslim immigration.

“Brussels ‘March against Fear’ cancelled over security concerns,” DW, March 26, 2016:

Following officials’ warnings, the rally’s organizers have postponed a march against the terror attacks. European nations have boosted security after the bombings, with Germany and Belgium arresting several suspects.

Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon on Saturday urged people to refrain from participating in Sunday’s planned “March against Fear” rally.

Brussels Mayor Yvan Mayeur said at a joint press conference with Jambon that authorities were stretched by ongoing investigations following Tuesday’s attacks across Brussels that left more than 30 dead and hundreds injured.

A man arrested in connection with the deadly Brussels attacks is facing terrorism charges, prosecutors say. Eleven suspects have been arrested in Belgium and Germany since the attacks.

“Let us allow the security services to do their work and that the march – which we, too, want to take part in – be delayed for several weeks,” the mayor told reporters.

Following the press briefing, the rally’s organizers announced the event’s cancellation in a statement.

“The security of our citizens is an absolute priority,” the organizers said.

“Consequently, we completely join the authorities in their proposal to postpone to a later date. We thus ask citizens not to come this Sunday to Brussels,” the statement added….
