On topic, I don't think this is such incredible news. You get nuts like this in every country large enough to have a lunatic fringe. It's sort of a statistical probabilities thing. Out of every hundred thousand people, a certain number are going to fall on the end of the bell curve that's lost its cotton-picking mind.
What's more suspect, to me, is that they didn't include a picture. What do you guys figure: picture not available, or the poor girl next door was too plain to get people in an uproar?

the real mystery is that shes francophone, by her name. Since ALL suicide bombing is a response to foreign occupation, logically the only Belgians who should become suicide bombers should be Flemings."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin Buber

How can exactly an immigrant get a Belgian name and surname? And, when was the last time you heard about muslims with non-mulsim names?I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Belgians of immigrant decent can't adopt a Belgian surname?
Well, this woman's life sure was rather tragic. Dysfunctional teen, jobless, and then killing herself for nothing.
As for what can be done? Well, either we erect a police state, or we recognize that if you give people freedom, some of them will use it to make a royal nuisance of themselves.

A woman reads Belgium's newspaper 'La Derniere Heure' that headlines 'This is our Belgian Kamikaze killed in Iraq' and shows a picture of Muriel Degauque from the southern city of Charleroi, Belgium, in Brussels, Thursday Dec. 1, 2005. Belgians were trying to come to terms Thursday with the news that a working class woman from an industrial southern city had turned from a "nice" shop assistant into a suicide bomber who blew herself up in Iraq.

I guess the picture answers my question. I was just curious why her 'handlers' would waste such a valuable asset as a northern European suicide bomber in Iraq instead of Europe or the U.S., where she'd be immune to profiling and could achieve a higher death toll.I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever.

I wonder why the woman blew herself up in there too, and not in here.
I don't have problems wondering how she turned into this though.. she was brainwashed by her man, a radical, and it was easy because she was in love with him. Like cult leaders have charisma and people can be brainwashed once they are drawn to that person, this would be pretty simple.
However, this should set off alarms, because next time it might happen in here instead of there. We can't afford the deviding between muslims and others here in Europe. The large communities in here, they can be turned into where they might accept strikes like in there. Because then it's a situation that we can't work no more. How can it be done, to keep them close, integrate more. Through equality and trying to work the problems with their communities. That's the only way I see we can protect the future. And then again solving problems should have value enough.In da butt.

I'm intrigued by the implication that having a pure mind makes you a crazy.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?
