The timing of this coming out just when a Islamic terror attack happened in Brussels..

[TheMendesLira]

let's all pretend this is just a pure coincidence, and not you bastards publishing it now to make some sweet views. well done journeyman, good job!

[stonedick]

Islam and Europe don't mix. Different cultures different state of mind no common ground. Everyone better off in their turf.

[flvancouver]

People blown to pieces and terrorized? in Belgium? Let's wait for the news to sink in a few hours then we'll post that short.
Great job Journeyman Pictures. You just revealed your apologist agenda!

[WARSMITHAFROW]

Either a terrible coincidence, or good timing

[Unrulyixx]

comes out the same day as bombing in Belgium

[h.h.]

This young man is absolutely right. We need so much more counseling and listening and education for young immigrants. To question dogma, do question values and traditions. If nobody cares about them, they'll find their answers in radical islamism or neofashism or whoever will listen to them and give them "moral" stability.

how the fuck do you move from a country that provides you home food life education everything and move to a warzone ? i dont understand their logic. I come from a poor country and telling me you can live in a country where you can live happy and make a deccision like this ???? i seriously dont get the, logic of this

[einherjar-dmrp]

I don't get it...Am I supposed to feel sorry for them after watching this?LOL

[wretchedwringer]

"I have no sympathy for them if they choose to walk down this path"

[soulthief]

Journeyman Pictures you will pay for your greed and hate...

[LibertyDownUnder]

A forward thinking country, accepts these people with open arms after fleeing their war torn, shit hole of a country - they should not dare complain about burqa bans, or insensitive comments about Islam.
Shame on them, and sham on other Belgians for not ending this blind generosity decades ago.

[محمدالامريكي-جم]

This has to be a troll move by Journeyman.

[Run.Ran.Run]

So how many jihadists have come from backgrounds similar to the ones depicted in the clip? Do these children also get told that it's all right to leave the religion? Do these kids get counseled on how they can help spot and report potential jihadists who are being prepared to attack the country they live in? Is it only all about how to interpret that religion? What a waste of money.

[dissolver]

may allah protect my brother and sister out there, salam from malaysia ^^V

[AngelSantos-nmyd]

the best religion in the world is the education

[micdailing]

And we're supposed to feel sorry for these people? I don't...

[ConfuzzledTomato]

huh didn't even wait to cash in on this tragedy, huh

[theankittalukdar]

And blasts ripped through Belgium's capital Brussels today.

[cognitiovitae]

Oh yeah lets all feel sorry for them. They have a religion of peace and its the government that's evil. Poor souls...
