    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Another video, reported to be of the incident, which has not been verified by Sky News, showed a gunman in a fluorescent orange jacket and a white helmet chasing a man into a building before shooting at him.

    He said the Swedish nationality of the victims had been put forward as the probable motive for the attack - but said there was nothing to suggest a possible link with the current situation between Israel and Gaza.

    Speaking in Albania on Monday evening - days after his own country was rocked by the fatal stabbing of a teacher in a suspected terror attack - Mr Macron said: “Europe is being shaken”.

    In a statement, UEFA said: “Following a suspected terrorist attack in Brussels this evening, it has been decided, after consultation with the two teams and the local police authorities, that the qualifying match between Belgium and Sweden is abandoned.”

    Laura Demullier, of Belgium’s OCAD anti-terror centre, said getting the thousands of football fans attending the match safely out of the stadium was their top priority.

    Muslim leaders in Sweden have called on the government to find ways to stop the Koran burnings, but police have allowed them, citing freedom of speech.

      Well most Muslims aren’t terrorists, just like most white people aren’t white nationalist terrorists. So maybe don’t group all Muslims together with these people?

        I don’t think your comparison is correct. You’re comparing people of a religion with people of a race. There are white people that are also Muslim.

          Yeah, take away “white” and leave “nationalist” and it’s a more apt analogy.

          Perhaps more analogous would be the Christian extremism against abortion clinics. There have been bombs, arson and murder in that context.
