Third Night of 'Ramadan Rioting' in Capital of Europe
The Brussels Journal ^ | 09/27/2006 | Paul Belien

Posted on 09/27/2006 6:50:46 AM PDT by Republicain

It looks as if immigrants youths want to turn nightly rioting during the Islamic holy month of ramadan into an annual tradition. Around 8:30pm last night violence erupted again in Brussels, the capital of Europe. The riots centered on the Brussels Marollen quarter and the area near the Midi Train Station, where the international trains from London and Paris arrive. Youths threw stones at passing people and cars, windows of parked cars were smashed, bus shelters were demolished, cars were set ablaze, a youth club was arsoned and a shop was looted. Two molotov cocktails were thrown into St.Peter’s hospital, one of the main hospitals of central Brussels. The fire brigade was able to extinguish the fires at the hospital, but youths managed to steal the keys of the fire engine.

During the month of ramadan Muslims are required to fast during the day and are only allowed to eat after sunset. As Esther pointed out “What should be noticed about the riots is that they start after sunset. Besides the fact that they start after dark, it also gives the rioters enough time to break their fast and enjoy the traditional family meal. Sunset is around 7:30pm.” Tuesday’s and Monday’s riots began around 8:30pm.

Last night the police arrested 45 rioters. One of them will be prosecuted for assaulting the owner of a shop. Philippe Close, the chef de cabinet of the Mayor of Brussels, Freddy Thielemans, said that the authorities would continue their efforts to defuse the situation in a peaceful manner, but he announced that the police will be less complacent in future, “since we cannot tolerate that this [Marollen] neighbourhood falls victim to a problem from outside the neighbourhood.”

The immigrant youths claim that they are upset by the death of Fayçal Chaaban, a 25-year old criminal, in a Brussels prison last Sunday. Yesterday morning the authorities announced they would hold a meeting with the youths to hear their grievances about security in prison, but the meeting, which was due last night, could not take place because of the riots.

The authorities are especially nervous since the Belgian municipal elections are being held on Sunday October 8th. It is likely that the elections will be won by anti-immigrant, “islamophobic” parties. Since ramadan will not be over on October 8th and many immigrants might perceive a victory of the indigenous right (as opposed to their own far-right) as an insult, Muslim indignation over the election results in major cities may spark serious disturbances. According to a poll published today the Vlaams Belang party is set to win 38.6% of the vote in Antwerp (compared to 33,0% in the previous municipal elections six years ago).

We need to counter the usage of the improper phrase, 'islamophobia' and use a more correct word meaning 'The sane, rational and righteous anger at muslims who want to behead you, rape and enslave your children and destroy your society.'

It's not a 'fear of, or a 'phobia.' It's a logical survival instinct which demands payback, justice, islamo-prevention and eradication.

The domestic tranquility of the civilized world has taken a heavy hit from this in-human, retrograde cultural belief system and its time to isolate it and those who practice it.

A great quote. I wish I'd have seen that quote when I was in High School. I'm sure my English teachers would not have been amused.

“islamophobic” seems to be a new libspeak code word that a rational person might see as a natural revulsion to insane violence in furtherance of a religious government.

But then, there few rational people in the "agenda for change" driven media.

Good morning.
"The last time some tried to answer this question, it wasn't pretty..."

There is a huge difference between the Holocaust and what Islam is trying to pull off but I'm afraid that the memories of trains and ovens will prevent Europe from doing what is necessary to head off conquest.

Sounds like the Belgians are getting their just desserts by going along with their criminal Muslims population.

The immigrant youths

Europe is so totally screwed and I don't care. I hope the next time they call the USA to bail out their socialist asses, the phone is off the hook.

The more determinedly the Europeans struggle to excape the horrors, warfare, intolerance, and violence of the past, the more inexorably they doom themselves to repeating it all.

It's like you can't excape your fate".

And their fate is doomed by the same things that doomed the protagonists of classic tragedies--denial, delusion, and hubris.

The one thing that could save them--Truth for Its Own Sake--ruthlessly faced--is the very thing that they most ruthlessly deny.

It's Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Europides all over again.

And it looks like Europe is going to experience the horrors of the past all over again too.

Meanwhile the world shouts warnings--like a Greek chorus!

Who knows? Maybe the Europeans will awaken from their denial in time to save themselves.

We can only hope--and continue to shout warnings.

The channel won't do the English one bit of good as long as the alliance of the London police and muslims exists.

I can't believe that your top cop is going to notify the muslims of their activities.

What the hell is that all about?
