That was truly sureal.
It was like something out of a cliche movie about the future except that it was two days ago.

"I hope that in future we will not hear about such events anymore The EU will guarantee that you won't hear about it anymore by smashing the cameras of anyone there and shuting down any newspapers or TV stations trying to report it.

You can bet your booties that if the crazy islamics wanted to protest the mayor would have rolled out the red carpet and the police would never touched these crazies.

Islam considers itself ultimately un-defeatable and we’re all capitulating - or having it done for us - day by day.

"Abolish Belgium," at the link below, provides some insight into the mindset there:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/article/20070912/EDITORIAL/109120017/1013/editorial
Six years ago Claude Eerdekens, a leading Walloon Socialist and the chairman of the Naturalization Commission of the Belgian House of Representatives, admitted that his commission was granting citizenship to foreigners without investigating the applicants' backgrounds because most of the immigrants speak French rather than Dutch. "Our commission does more for the frenchification of Brussels than the Flemings can ever do to prevent it," he boasted in a newspaper interview.
All this would not have been possible if Belgium had been a democracy. Belgium's Constitution stipulates, however, that no major decisions can be taken without a majority in both parts of the country and that the government should consist of 50 percent Flemings and 50 percent Walloons. In practice this means that 20 percent of the population (i.e. half of the Walloons) can veto every decision. This has made the Parti Socialiste (PS), the largest party in Wallonia, the power broker in the country.
While capitalist-minded Flanders generates wealth (it accounts for 70 percent of Belgium's GDP and 80 percent of its exports), Wallonia, at the receiving end of a generous welfare system, spends most of the money and vetoes any attempt to reform the system. Every year 6.6 percent of Flanders' GDP is spent on welfare in Wallonia.

I note your picture. This should be the poster for freedom of speech in Europe.

Expectations for political unity in Iraq are astronomically comical when you see scenes like this.

Freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, the right to petition government for redress of grievances: do not ever take these things for granted. Many Europeans have chosen to cede their liberties, most recently paid for in American blood, in exchange for security. They will wind up with neither freedom nor security.

"I hope that in future we will not hear about such events anymore and that European Union where we live together will be area of liberty, not a soft-tyranny." Hate to tell him this, but Europe has been a soft-totalitarian zone since the 1950s.

I bet this story is like rocket-fuel porn for Islamics.
Getting some of the dhimmis to do their bidding by hassling
other dhimmis.
The Islamics probably have to pinch themselves to convince them that
they are doing something their forebearors couldn't do back in
the 700s.
A total and successful conquest of Europe.
And no need to use the sword this time.
When they can get the useful idiots of Europe to do the job for them.

"Riot police units from Liege in Wallonia, the French-speaking part of Belgium, maltreated the demonstrators, many of them from Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium, in an excessively violent way," reports Belien. They used cops from the French socialist part of Belgium to suppress dissent from the Dutch capitalist part of Belgium. Classic.
