Bonn, Germany: Club-wielding army of 600 Muslims attack as Muhammad cartoons are shown publicly. 29 policemen hurt, 109 arrests.

We need more parties like the Pro NRW in Germany. As part of their preparations for the coming regional elections, Pro NRW has arranged a competition: Draw the best Mohammed cartoon -- "Berlin Worried About 'Muhammad Cartoon Contest'":

A far-right group in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia is running a 'Muslim cartoon contest' and plans to display the works outside mosques. The move has alarmed authorities which fear it could incite violence and hurt German interests abroad, similar to the backlash that followed the 2005 publication of cartoons in Danish newspapers.

The first 25 seconds of this German news video from the demonstration in Bonn show how an army consisting of 600 Muslims attacked the police with weapons. The police arrested 109 attackers.

The German police's attempt to protect the peace in Bonn and the democratic and peaceful demonstrators from Pro NRW with a few parked cars is childishly naive and not a good sign for the future safety of Germans. Translated by Nicolai Sennels from Danish, Jyllands-Posten, May 5: "Mohammad drawings stirred trouble in Bonn":

29 policemen wounded and more than 100 people arrested at demonstrations in Germany
On Saturday, May 5th 2012, in the former West German capital of Bonn, 29 policemen were wounded and more than 100 were arrested following violent protests.

An anti-Islamic event, organized by a local extremist right-wing party, turned violent when it was confronted by a counter-demonstration consisting of radical Salafis who believe in a strict fundamentalist version of Islam.

The row began when up to 30 supporters of the Pro NRW party walked around with caricatures ridiculing Islam. Pro NRW made similar demonstrations a few days earlier in Solingen, 60 kilometers north of Bonn, which also sparked violence.

Two German officers were seriously injured by stab wounds in Bonn and another 27 of their colleagues were also injured, the police in North Rhine-Westphalia informed us.

Doctors managed to save the two officers' lives. The suspected perpetrators are arrested, and police have seized clubs, a sling and stones.

The police had parked their personnel carriers between the Pro NRW supporters and the Islamists, but did not manage to stop the attack.

Between 500 and 600 people from the counter-demonstration began throwing stones, the police interfered and the situation escalated.

Hi thank you for this news, i couldn't believe this actually happen but again in what the world is going through now shouldn't be surprise. Thanks for this news really encouraging and we are praying in what you doing.

Also here is an interesting article of a Arab-Israeli Pastor said.

An Israeli-Arab pastor with strong ties to the Palestinian territories believes that for Christians to be involved in the Middle East peace process they “need to learn the Bible” and what it says about Jesus’ ministry.

Muslim "anger" erupts, yet the winning cartoon does not depict Mohammed. Go figure.

Man those Muslims sure get angry at cartoons. Cartoons = ridicule = jihad in their eyes obviously.

The only way that this mob insanity is to be stopped is through severe punishment being meted out to the perpetrators. These sort of people cannot be reasoned with as their psyche, their brainwashing from birth (from their continuous wailing of the Cowran), and their genetic degeneration prevents them from behaving like normal human beings. The police and authorities in all western countries should learn how to deal with these foaming-at-the-mouth deviants, just like they learned how to deal with rabid dogs wandering the streets in America - they were shot.
These raging muslims have the mentality of children, and should be treated like children who go into a tantrum and "mental fit" over the slightest provocation - they should be treated with severe punishment.

I am so sick of these people.
Go back to the country you came from.
Stay in an Islam country.
This has been going on for such a long time and with the
attitude they have it will never change.
Islam does not mix with other religions or no religion.
So, stay in your own corner of the world.
Go live in Saudi Arabia.

The Pro-NRW rallies need to happen often and get bigger.

If the Salafists can produce 600, the Pro-NRW needs to figure out how to rustle up 1000.

And it had better be 1000 able-bodied men aged between 18 and 50.

As for the police: they need dogs. Lots and lots of big black dogs. That would surely have a salutary effect.

Australian police in western Sydney have learned that you use overwhelming force - openly displayed - when dealing with Mohammedans. Or at least that's the impression I've gained from reports of recent police raids, arrests, etc., where Mohammedan households and suspects were involved. Riot squad, helicopters, and the dog squad.

Bonn, Germany: Club-wielding army of 600 Muslims attack as Muhammad cartoons are shown publicly. 29 policemen hurt, 109 arrests.

I doubt it. What Berliners are worried about is the Muslim *reaction* to the "Muhammad Cartoon Contest".

A far-right group in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia is running a 'Muslim cartoon contest' and plans to display the works outside mosques. The move has alarmed authorities which fear it could incite violence and hurt German interests abroad, similar to the backlash that followed the 2005 publication of cartoons in Danish newspapers.
.........................................

Really? And all of this will happen, it would seem, without human—or Muslim—agency...sarc/off

Rather, Germans should be lauding the brave Danes for standing up for freedom of speech.

Pro NRW, winner of draw Mohammed contest:

"It seems that the church has integrated very well in Germany"
.........................................

What an excellent cartoon! And note: this is not about "Muhammed", in any case: it is merely criticizing Islamic supremacy in Germany. Of course, criticizing any aspect of Islam is forbidden under Shari'ah, especially by Infidels.

Translated by Nicolai Sennels from Danish, Jyllands-Posten, May 5: "Mohammad drawings stirred trouble in Bonn"
.........................................

I have the greatest respect for Jyllands-Posten—the publishers of the aforementioned Danish MoToons—but this is simply incorrect. It is not the Mohammad drawings that stirred trouble in Bonn, but entirely the Muslim reaction to them.

29 policemen wounded and more than 100 people arrested at demonstrations in Germany
.........................................

Shocking. Damn barbarians.

An anti-Islamic event, organized by a local extremist right-wing party, turned violent when it was confronted by a counter-demonstration consisting of radical Salafis who believe in a strict fundamentalist version of Islam.
.........................................

Again, this phrasing is simply appalling—but by no means uncommon. Anyone reading this in an inattentive manner would assume that the "extremist right-wing anti-Islamic event" turned violent, *not* that they were *attacked by violent Muslims*.

The row began when up to 30 supporters of the Pro NRW party walked around with caricatures ridiculing Islam.
.........................................

Again, crap. "Walking around with caricatures" is not a violent act. *Attacking* people for walking around with caricatures is.

Pro NRW made similar demonstrations a few days earlier in Solingen, 60 kilometers north of Bonn, which also sparked violence.
.........................................

Thanks to poster Counterjihad2012 for the link to pictures of that event, and the ensuing Muslim violence.

Two German officers were seriously injured by stab wounds in Bonn and another 27 of their colleagues were also injured, the police in North Rhine-Westphalia informed us.

Doctors managed to save the two officers' lives. The suspected perpetrators are arrested, and police have seized clubs, a sling and stones.
.........................................

So—two policemen were injured severely enough that the survival of the officers was in doubt. I hope the German courts throw the book at these vile Jihadists, but I won't be holding my breath...

Between 500 and 600 people from the counter-demonstration began throwing stones, the police interfered and the situation escalated.
.........................................

Good grief—here, it sounds as though it was the police "interference" which caused the situation to escalate.

Apparently between those "right-wing" cartoonists and police interference, those knife-wielding, rock-throwing Jihadists didn't stand a chance...sarc/off

Well. The video from the demonstration is gone. Anybody rip it? If anybody has it, i'll put it up on my account.

This, folks, is why offending Muslims is a good idea. The more this happens -- masses of Muslims committing violence, the sooner people will realize there is a problem. Once that happens, discussion in the mainstream can shift to what to do about the problem.
