BBC United States of Hate Muslims Under Attack Page #7

---

and say, "Oh, this ain't going to happen here,"

that's what Belgium thought.

You can't ignore the threats.

You've got to protect your citizens first.

And this is the whole reason why we do what we do.

And you wonder why there's so many people that have

jumped on the Trump wagon, to try to get the borders closed.

How many more people have to die,

how many more people have to get injured, before people wake up

and see what their rhetoric and their context is all about?

This is exactly what they've been preaching.

And you want that stuff here in America?

We can't leave this crap to our kids.

SIRENS BLARE:

The attack forces David and John to settle their differences.

Bair is reborn.

It's like all organisations. You're going

to have some disagreements within the group.

The thing of it is that me

and David have been able to sit down and talk things out, hash it out...

You know, we'll have our tiffs, yeah, but we're not going anywhere.

And just seeing what happened in Brussels is just confirmation

that we need to be a little bit louder than ever before,

to try and get things going, while we still can.

For Bair, horrifying incidents like this

justify their very existence.

Every time there is an attack, it does help us refocus

and it will help us

forget the little disagreements that we have and get over

those little disagreements and move on from the main goal -

protecting what's ours.

They want to pay their respects to the 32 who died in the attack

and have swapped their guns for a cross.

How many more crosses will have to be put in the ground? How many?

CAR HORN BEEPS:

But Omar isn't prepared for his community to accept responsibility

for any terrorist attack.

He has his own thoughts on where blame lies.

I would say a group like Bair would have more to do with

a violent incident taking place in the world than I do,

because I'm actually trying to stop that cycle.

They're feeding that cycle, feeding that carnage,

feeding that nonsense. They're feeding that clash

of civilisations. They're giving Isis the world that they want.

Isis wants this world to be Islam versus the West.

They're giving them that world.

They're letting them know that...

It's just like a video game.

Isis is player one and they just needed someone to press

and be player two.

Islamophobes are creating more Islamic terrorism.
