[Hack&Lube]

Almost 10 years ago, I was lost in the lovely city of Brussels and came out of the wrong metro into Molenbeek, the neighborhood that appears to be at the center of Muslim immigration and fanaticism that generated the Paris attacks and likely also today's attacks.

At the time, I remember feeling awe and surprise because I came out onto a cultural street festival full of Muslims and there was a parade, food stalls, people dancing, kids playing in the street, festive demonstrations, music, etc.

From what I'm seeing now, it only makes me tremendously sad that such terror and hatred can come out of a place that I remember as being so vibrant and welcoming and transform it and the rest of the world in nearly irreparable ways.
