They ask but the authorities won't answer in Europe.

"Warum?" sounds like German, not French. Or is it Flemish? Or is this area close to the border, with a German speaking population, I wonder?

There are 101 likely reasons but people are not encouraged to talk about them in public, so, pointless question.

Nandakamanda:

Belgium has a large German speaking population, and 3 national languages: French, Flamish, and German.

Not very large willi. According to wiki "An estimated 59% of the Belgian population speaks Dutch (often colloquially referred to as "Flemish"), and 40% of the population speaks French." Apart from patois spoken on the German borders I've never seen a Belgian to speak German, or speak highly of them either to this day. Flemmish is basically Dutch ABN anyway, quite easy to understand if you've got an Anglo and a latin language under your hat.

This sorry affair sounds simply like a loser that screwed his life up and went out screwing plenty of others up. I'm sorry the anti-Islam angle never panned out.
