Brussels Mayor Says Jews, Muslims and ‘Even Christians’ Having Too Many Children — And We Should Consider Population Control
Vice President Joe Biden may have said of the United States that the “middle class has been buried over the last four years,” but another politician overseas wants to stop some of that middle (and poorer) class from ever being born.
The Socialist mayor of Brussels, Freddy Thielemans, says limiting the number of children born to parents in Brussels should be an issue up for discussion as part of his city’s effort to combat poverty. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports:
The mayor of Brussels has said that families with many children were “a problem found among Muslims, Jews and even Christians.”
Speaking at a debate in Brussels on Sept. 27, Mayor Freddy Thielemans added that the city was incapable of providing housing solutions that match the demands of families with many children and that bringing into the world “so many children is irresponsible.”
Methods to reduce population growth “should be a matter for discussion,” he also said.
The English-language Belgian site Flanders News writes that Thielemans was addressing the demographic boom in Brussels which he believes has fueled poverty.
His spokesman later clarified that limiting the number of children isn’t actually part of any policy plan, and even added that the issue wouldn’t be in the purview of local authorities.
Flanders News quotes the spokesman saying: “It’s a fact: in Brussels there are many families with seven or eight children. They apply for social flats, but flats to accommodate such numbers do not exist.”
Belgian politicians – including members of his own Socialist Party – are expressing dismay at the mayor’s remarks. Philippe Moureaux, who is the Socialist mayor of Molenbeek, posted on Twitter (via JTA): “In a free society, having children is a right which cannot be up for negotiation.” Flanders News adds:
Politicians from other parties have given Mr Thielemans’s initiative the thumbs down: Belgian Interior Minister Joëlle Milquet, who heads the Christian democrat list in the City, can hardly believe the mayor made the pronouncement, while Francophone liberal Alain Courtois says it’s a bad idea.
This blog that tracks what it believes to be anti-Christian developments at the European Union, which is headquartered in Brussels, writes of the mayor’s idea:
This leaves us speechless. But Thielemans statement is only coherent in this de-christianized society where killing of babies and elderly people is a mean to keep public spending down. Why not officially limit the number of children? And when he claims that the “problem” of large families is equally distributed between Muslims, Jewish and Christians than he is targeting only the most traditional ones that still have children.
JTA reports that Brussels’ population is 1.1 million. It quotes Belgian sociologist Jan Hertogen’s statistics which show that Muslims make up 22 percent of the city’s population. According to the CCOJB which represents Belgium’s French-speaking Jews, between 20,000 and 30,000 Jews live in Brussels.
But for Mr. Thielemans, even a 2-3% Jewish population is apparently too much.

Posted on October 3, 2012 at 5:07pm@JerseyJude You have the reason. For example in the muslin world they can have many wives if for each wife have 5 children probably the family would be 15 or 20 members! and the tax payers “should” pay for them!. This mentality create a big mess inside the society and the natural resource and space do not grow at the same rate so. Yes, the population should be more reasonable stop reproduction like rats! is unsustainable!

It was really weak.

Posted on October 3, 2012 at 8:44amIf all countries had no welfare a lot of their problems would take care of themselves. Progressives like the fat mayor want to engineer the world,to shape it to their viewpoint and we have too much of that here as well. The UN is an agency that should be destroyed and the sooner the better,they’re evil bastards and criminals the lot of them.

Posted on October 3, 2012 at 8:41amLike most things, people should only have kids if they can afford them. If not, tough shite. It seems that mostly irresponsible people that do not have the means have many children — that is indeed social irresponsible.

Posted on October 3, 2012 at 8:20amYep – what he said may SOUND cruel, but he’s also referencing the stretched ability of a working public to support those people with their taxes.
The solution would be to place a limit on the maximum amount of money ANY SIZE family could collect on the dole; further, put a limit on the amount of time you can collect, and RESTRICT that privilege to NATURAL BORN citizens of natural born parents. Thus, immigrants and their first generation would be ineligible. That HAS TO BE considered right here at home.

Posted on October 3, 2012 at 10:14amYeah I agree with you genocide under the guise of population control.Nazi tactics still in use.If they don’t do it that way[too slow for them I believe].they will just manufacture a non existant disease go to a special magistrate force treatment[murdering you]making sure to use home based [harder to catch easier to control]plan.You will be taken to the local morgue until train pick up to the creamatorium[aka fema camp]This I know for a 100 percent fact can be used.
VIRD versus Nazism.Nazism seeks to force everyone into their viewpoint at the point of death.VIRD stands for voluntary intelligent reproductive design.It aims to give parents all the information necessary to make the decision for themselves.One of the hallmarks necessary is that a relatively cheap and accurate genetics test is made available.The results can’t be traced to the individual and would only be used by the individual.[In home like pregnancy tests are].This in itself could and would prevent many problems.
Sorry if it seems a little wordy there.VIRD is about empowering the individual.Nazism is about empowering the state[in a way no one should want]
