A ‘’significant‘’ number of Muslims, who are Belgian citizens, danced after the Brussels deadly attacks on the aiport and a metro station, Belgian Interior Minister Jan Jambon said in an interview with Flemish language newspaper De Standaard.

32 people were killed and over 300 injured in the Brussels attacks on March 22.

“A significant section of the Muslim community danced when attacks took place,” Jambon told the newspaper.

He also accused Muslim residents of Brussels of attacking police officers when the police launched an operation last month to arrest Salah Abdeslam, a suspect from the Paris attacks that took place last November. Police were attacked by Muslim residents of the Molenbeek neighborhood of Brussels which is known as a Muslim-dominated neighborhood and is considered as a hotbed of radical islam and jihadism in Europe.

“They threw stones and bottles at police and press during the arrest of Salah Abdeslam. This is the real problem. Terrorists we can pick up, remove from society. But they are just a boil. Underneath is a cancer that is much more difficult to treat. We can do it, but it won’t be overnight,” Jambon told ‘De Standaard.’’

He also stated that the country had failed to integrate Muslims into its society and “for many years ignored the warning signs” that emanated from the Muslim community.

He said that radicalization within a large number of the Muslim youth from third- and fourth-generation Muslim families in Belgium is “too deeply rooted.”
