Belgium is in need of a coordinated and reciprocal response to the activities and propaganda of ISIS terrorist group in the country, a spokesperson for the League of Belgian Muslims (LMB) said on Monday, following the attack on police officers in the southern Belgian city of Charleroi.
On Saturday, a man screaming "Allahu Akbar" injured two policewomen with a machete near a police station in Charleroi, motivated by a ISIS call to attack citizens of countries participating in the international coalition against the terrorist group. The perpetrator was shot by a third police officer and died later in hospital.
"We should answer [IS] ideology by ideology and [IS] education by education. We need to emphasize the good way of the religion, which is to build peace. ISIS exploits the verses of Koran in a wrong way and we need to tackle this. If we manage to have a coordinated action at all levels – authorities, associations, leagues of imams, mosques and representatives of other religions, as we are all members of the [Belgian] society – we will succeed," Karim Chemlal said.
