President completely missed the point in relation to Belgian massacre

Islamic State is relatively new to the terrorist game. Brutal it may be, but already it is light years ahead of others in the darkly encrypted world of cyber technology.

The mayhem a few small cells of true believers can cause (even if that belief is merely a corrupt or an especially militant form of Saudi inspired Islam) should give us pause for thought.

My thought for the day is that our president, Michael D. Higgins, completely missed the point last week with his ill-judged comments about the Belgian massacre by Islamists.
