Roger Williams Statement on Terrorist Attacks in Brussels

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Roger Williams (R – Texas) today released the following statement after two terrorist attacks in the European Union’s de facto capital of Brussels on Tuesday left at least 34 dead and more than 100 injured:
“My thoughts and prayers are with our friends this morning as we learn more of the terrorist attacks in Brussels. I echo the sentiment expressed by several European leaders who have proclaimed, ‘We are at war.’ In order to provide for the safety and security of our nation, we must first admit the real threat that radical Islam imposes on all of us. We have to close the gaps in border security. We must implement more accountability in the larger Islamic community, where leaders must denounce the actions of Muslims whom they say ‘do not represent Islam.’”

In December, Williams wrote an op-ed for The Washington Times titled, The real threat to America: Obama refuses to recognize Islamic extremism.
