what terrorists want

I agree with your theory. It seems logical that they have a long term goal that requires isolating Muslim communities from Western society. Members of these isolated pockets will then feel more inclined to turn to a more radical interpretation of their religion as they will think that this is the only way to protect themselves, their people, and their belief.

Islam is a broken ideology.
You have the ones in the East who are radical and expansionist, and you have the ones in the West who still follow the fundamentals, but believe in free will and the right to liberty. I'm sure that there's many in the East who want to come West, and perhaps there's even some in the West who want to go East.
I don't believe ISIS can isolate the Western Muslims, simply because many of them came West to get away from the radical side of their religion. I can't speak for all of them, but it tells you something when many are trying to come West to get away from it all.
.

clearly, the objective of the Brussels attackers is not to "establish shariah" in Belgium. There is absolutely no chance for that.

Also, while there are a few Belgian military planes based in Jordan, Belgium has not been active flying missions in Syria for over a year. If anything, there is now talk of restarting these missions in retaliation for the attacks. So, which are the terrorists' objectives ?

ISIS knows that the first and main result of the attacks will be to terrorise people, to heighten tensions between the general public and Muslim communities in the West, to exacerbate the refugee crisis. More in general, it will weaken social cohesion in the West, encourage xenophobic and racist movements etc etc.

I am not claiming that there is some criminal ISIS mastermind working out such plans in detail, but this is the main effect of the attacks.

I blocked this guy but terrorist want nothing different from what our governments want and that is mass hysteria and destruction.

I thought it was pretty clear the terrorist wants vengeance over the arrests of the mastermind of paris attack. Hence the timing. Simple as that.

We need to stop talking about terrorists as though they all share the same goal. They do not, while they always consistently terrorise in order to promote the goal everyone has their own individual reasons. .

attacks like those which happened yesterday do require some minimal planning. I don't think you can organise them over a weekend

All I want to say is that these terror groups have nothing do with my religion Islam. And I'll keep saying this because it's the truth

Islamic terrorists want to threaten or attack western secularists values. Islamic communities are already isolated by their own design without the terrorists help. Average muslims are not the terrorists, but average muslims make up the communities that harbor the terrorists.

So they looked into the time machine and saw that bugger will be arrested and planned an attack a month or more before.

Its not a coincidence the attack happens after his arrest.

well, perhaps they decided to attack because they knew that security forces were on their trail - so, they may have somehow tightened their schedule because of Friday's arrests

I agree. I know enough Muslims living in Brussels to realise that ISIS's plans have little chance of succeeding.
However, who knows what would happen if other bloody attacks happened ? would the democratic, tolerant fabric of Western societies withstand repeated bloody attacks over the next few years ?

In my view, yes, but let's hope that we won't be actually tested.

People are certainly becoming less tolerant to Islam. Don't know if you heard about the #StopIslam hashtag that surfaced shortly after the Brussels attacks? We would have never seen anything like that last year, I can tell you that.
Tensions are high and Europe is becoming more and more destabilized.
Does the EU contribute to the destabilization? I think so.

I agree. I was watching BBC last night and it was very tragic, in two ways: a) the Brussels attacks in itself and b) the way media unknowingly continues to terrorize civilians. Yes we can have news that says Brussels was attacked by coward terrorists but no we can't have 2 hours or nonstop news showing us bloody images of victims. IMO enough is enough. It seems like media is giving terrorists a hand in instilling terrorism among the innocent. Just my opinion

tbh i think you are over analysing. islamic terrorists just want noteriety. they want people talking about islam, because it makes them feel important and imagine islam is a major political movement. when of course it is not and has little legitimate importance beyond its influence on international terrorism. at the end of the day islam has always been about territory and power - all islamist groups IS included want the levantine areas and israeli held territory to be seizied by islamic armies as it was psot mohammeds time.
i also feel many of these groups still hold resentment that the 'west' defeated the islamic empire and created its own, and perhaps this is simply sour grapes jabs

I agree, except with your last remark

The EU is just what the 28 Governments want it to be : they hold the effective political power. How could it contribute to destabilisation ?

if anytrhing, the EU is ineffective in the present situation, because each Member State follows its national agenda, and does not want to transfer sufficient powers to the EU.
