"Mevrouw Demir, er bestaat een recht op achterlijke meningen." @NoelSlangen slaat spijkers met koppen. Vrijheid van meningsuiting is een grondwettelijk recht. Ook als we die mening niet leuk vinden.

Look at this! Even under the threat of bombardments the masses have gone out in Maarrat al-Numn in the heart of #Idlib to say no to the #Assad regime and its allies

You cannot make this up. Paris attacker Salah Abdeslam was located by the Belgian police because he ordered pizza.

Une livraison de pizzas à l'origine de l'arrestation de Salah Abdeslam ?

Comment les enquêteurs sont-ils parvenus à capturer Salah Abdeslam ? Les spéculations, évidemment, vont bon train depuis l'arrestation de l'homme le plus recherché d'Europe...

Mijn opinie vandaag in @destandaard - Geen argument is goed genoeg om Djalali en Vandecasteele niet uit Iran terug te halen.

Natuurlijk moeten we Djalali redden met deze Irandeal, dat is wat een mensenleven waard is

België had geen andere optie dan het akkoord over de gevangenenruil met Iran te sluiten, betoogt Koert Debeuf.

The West often forgets how this betrayal is still deeply felt in the Arab World. It's also a part of the ISIS discourse, action & attraction
