Jizya...coffee -- it's all the same to me, infidel: Hand it over!

The eternally-disgruntled "[1] youth" protest once again; and while they're at it, loot a Starbucks. "Violence erupts at Israel protest," from [2] ITV.com, January 17 (thanks to KM2 and Jdamn):

Young men - many wearing scarves covering their faces - clashed with police on Saturday, with one group seen kicking in the front window of a Starbucks coffee shop. A police car also had its rear window smashed.

The Metropolitan Police force said it contained a group of between 120 and 200 people in Piccadilly at about 5.20pm.

A spokesman said: "The decision to contain this group was based on the need to prevent a further breach of the peace."

The spokesman also said it was investigating reports of damaged, looted shops.

He said: "There is now believed to be two branches of Starbucks, one in Shaftesbury Avenue, junction with Rupert Street and one in Piccadilly. Windows have been smashed and shops looted."

In [3] related news, a few days earlier,while making anti-Semitic slurs, other "youth" (described as "Asian") threw a firebomb into another Starbucks.
