The Guardian/AFP: Anger over 'martyrs' exhibition for Brussels and Paris bombers
Exhibit will include works on Ibrahim and Khalid El-Bakraoui, Brussels suicide bombers, and Foued Mohamed-Aggad, one of the Bataclan attackers
A Copenhagen art exhibit planning to portray two of the Brussels suicide bombers and one of the Paris Bataclan attackers as “martyrs” has been reported to police for encouraging terrorism.
In an exhibit partly inspired by Tehran’s Martyrs’ Museum, a Danish group of artists plans to include brothers Ibrahim and Khalid el-Bakraoui, who detonated bombs in the deadly Brussels attacks on 22 March, and Foued Mohamed-Aggad, who blew himself up at Paris music venue Bataclan on 14 November.
The installation will have the look of a museum, using images of the “martyrs”, replicas of their belongings and plaques to explain who they are.
The suicide bombers will be featured alongside historical figures considered to have died for their cause, such as French heroine Joan of Arc and Greek philosopher Socrates, said Ida Grarup Nielsen of artist collective The Other Eye of The Tiger.

WNU Editor: It is at moments like this that you have to wonder if some in Europe have lost their minds.

I'd say some in Europe and the United States for that matter have been losing their minds for quite sometime. I've heard the saying, to roughly paraphrase, "he whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad." I might change the statement to a more modern way of expression that is more consistent to a Christian understanding of such to read "whom God wishes to destroy He first makes mad."
Aren't France and Belgium supposed to be allies of the United States? If so, why is a "Tehran Martyrs Museum" allowed to operate there. Iran has been calling for and acting towards genocide of the United States of America and its people? I think some people in the United States would celebrate such a museum in the United States as well. As such, the people who have "lost their minds" is not limited to Western Europe. Hopefully the United States is not as far gone as these people are though.
In any event, I will reiterate what I've stated here and elsewhere. It seems rather foolish to expend precious personnel and material resources through organizations such as NATO to defend these nations when they are a lost cause anyway. Besides should open conflict break out between the "west" and Russia it is going to be the United states who will bear the brunt of the Russian reprisals and not these other western European nations. It's long past time to cut countries like France, Belgium, and probably most of the rest of the countries loose.
