The best thing the public can do to stop the attacks is act like the attacks do not have the desired effect -- which in this case is to create more of a backlash against Muslims to encourage more Muslims to fight the evil us.

Yep. Agreed.

Saw my first Facebook profile picture in which a heart was colored like the Belgian flag.

Impactful. Really made me think.

In 1914, on the eve of World War I, the Germans issued an ultimatum to Belgium -- let us roll through your country on the way to France or we will destroy and conquer you.
Both sides knew how any war between the countries would end. The Belgians were no match for the Germans.

Belgian King Albert I, however, told the Germans to get bent.
Upon hearing of the king's refusal of the ultimatum, the Belgian foreign secretary gave one if the great quotes of all time -- "If we are to be crushed, let us be crushed gloriously."
The Belgians fought, and lost, but put up more of a fight than anyone expected. They slowed the German advance for weeks instead of days and allowed France to mount its own defense.
It was one of the great acts of defiance against tyranny, in the face of impossible odds, in human history.

We've gone from that, to drawing chalk messages on sidewalks and lighting up buildings.

Is this post a parody?

I love that a 'roo's go-to move is a kick to the twig 'n' berries.

I don't think the Germans represented tyranny in WW I. More like cousins squabbling over the same old stuff.

I wonder if anyone will stoop so low as to send sympathy cards to those affected.

Tell me again how we've "taken the fight to them" the last seven years.
