As if Brazil hasn't been having enough trouble organizing the Olympics, now this....

By Simon Romero NEW YORK TIMES JULY 21, 2016
RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazilian authorities arrested 10 members of an Islamist militant group that was organizing terror attacks, officials announced Thursday, raising tension around the country two weeks before the start of the Olympic Games. In a statement, the Federal Police said the suspects belonged to a group called the Defenders of Shariah.


Notice the key words: Islamist and Shariah.

I have heard that Brazil has fallen way short on having taken the security measures needed to be taken to have the games secure and that they are also way behind on other pr********ns. One report even said that Brazil should have never been given the games.

Another clue that Islam is really really bad:

A 2001 religious edict banning Pokemon has been reinstated in Saudi Arabia as Pokemon Go gains popularity. Although the augmented-reality game is not officially available in Saudi Arabia, it’s still available there by illegal download, which prompted concern among the kingdom’s top clerical body. The edict rejects the game for what it describes as un-Islamic aspects, including symbols from “d*****t” religions and polytheistic traits. It also claims the game promotes the theory of evolution, which goes against Islam. The Pokemon Go phenomenon, which sees players embark on a scavenger hunt in the real world to find virtual characters, has already unleashed chaos as players venture into no-trespassing zones and dangerous territories across the globe.
