X-tra Time #8
"The last time I heard the figures there were still around 100-150 Belgian fighters unaccounted for; we don't even know where they are right now. The problem here in Belgium was that strangely enough, at a certain point, per capita, we had the most Jihadi foreign fighters of any land, any nation worldwide."
Listen to our unedited conversation with Pieter Van Ostaeyen, an historian within the Arabic studies research unit at the KUL.
We talked about the meaning of Jihad, about underlying issues of terrorism, about the current terror zones of Islamic State or 'Daesh', the Islam in general, and much more.
