But i will be fair and frank: i am not a racist. But i do agree that the muslims are wiping away our culture. It gets very much mixed up. And they behave and react otherwise than us. Although must be said, I have a lot of muslim friends. A lot among them are really behaving like us, but when it comes to religion, they are all as dangerous. They just don't think anymore. One day, I was in a taxi (cab), and the radio was tuned on a catholic radiostation I was working for at the time, the taxidriver being a muslim, i asked him:"You listen to our catholic station, and you are a Muslim, there are islamic radiostations in Brussels, how come you listen to ours?" His answer was fair:"Because you people talk with your heart and soul when it comes to religion, the muslims on the other hand, they talk with their instinct, and that has nothing to do with religion." I was surprised and happy when he said that. And I really want you to know, that more and more muslims talk that way.

For me, that's enough never to spend a cent there...

You write:"Avoid the restaurant area known as the ‘Ilot Sacre’ in the narrow streets around the Rue des Bouchers. It’s colourful but over-priced." That is correct. And it's not very healthy either. You also write:"The local McDonalds imitation is QUICK BURGER." This is not true. Quick is quick and McDonalds is McDonalds (you have one at the Bourse, on the other side of the Boulevard Anspach), my experience is that nearly all the restaurants at the Bourse are ok. Brussels at night is not very safe. Never go anywhere alone at night. And as you state: watch out for pickpockets. (i live here since more than 10 years, and they got me twice) I live in Brussels.
