By KIRSTEN GRIESHABER, Associated Press Writer Kirsten Grieshaber, Associated Press Writer – 1 hr 31 mins ago BERLIN – A Jewish dance group was attacked with stones by a group of children and teenagers during a performance at a street festival in the Germany city of Hannover, police said Thursday. One dancer suffered a leg injury and the group then canceled their performance. The teenagers also used a megaphone to shout anti-Semitic slurs during the Saturday afternoon attack, Hannover police spokesman Thorsten Schiewe said. Police said the incident is under investigation and that they do not have an exact number of attackers yet. Schiewe said there were several Muslim immigrant youths among the attackers. Two suspects, a 14-year-old and a 19-year-old, were being questioned, he said. Alla Volodarska, whose Progressive Jewish community of Hannover group held the performance, told The Associated Press in an interview that members were still in shock. "What happened is just so awful," Volodarska said. "The teenagers started throwing stones the moment our dance group was announced, even before they started dancing." Volodarska said she did not attend the event herself, but had talked to several members of the eight-person dance group since the incident. She said one dancer, a woman in her forties, was injured by several stones that hit her leg. "There were many kids throwing stones, many of them, but we don't know the exact number," she said, adding that the community had performed Israeli group dances at many festivals in the past and never experienced this kind of hostility before. Volodarska said that the festival took place in Sahlkamp, an immigrant neighborhood of Hannover.

....dollars to donuts it was MUSLIMS.

Well, I bet it wasn’t Christians.

[Pharmboy]

Immigrant neighborhoods in Germany are often Turkish.

[MrB]

“several”?

How about ALL.

[Red Badger]

There were probably a few neo-nazis in there, too............

[MrB]

Yeah, Nazis and Muslims have a long cozy history.

1) If at least some were definitively known to be Muslim, probably the rest were as well.

2) Progressive = Leftist. The members of this community were probably in favor of immigration. Progressive, here's your wake-up call.

Well, so much for Helen Thomas's plan of returning Jews to their original homelands in Germany, Poland or the United States.

Is that true in this case, or does is Progressive used to mean not Orthodox. They could be both leftist and non-orthodox, but I wouldn't assume that progressive means leftist in this case.

And so it begins, again.

Birds of a feather.

There is a certain irony of many Arabs liking Hitler because he was anti-Jewish. If the demographics in Germany in the 1920s and 30s had been the same as now, he would have counted Muslims as the dangerous untermenschen threatening his Aryan wonderland.

Schiewe said there were several Muslim immigrant youths among the attackers.

LOL. The contortions these 'journalists' will twist themselves into to avoid telling the truth.

[dfwgator]

True fact. Persia changed to Iran in 1935, because the then-Shah was so enamored with Hitler, he changed the name to the Farsi word for “Aryan.”

[skeeter]

Maybe, but I doubt it.

In Europe only muslims are immune from prosecution for violent acts of gross anti-semitism.
