Danish Muslims riot, burn cars over Motoons; cops blame "unusually mild weather"

Yes, I can see their point. Mild weather always makes me want to burn cars and vandalize schools. "Suspected Danish cartoon rioters torch cars," from Reuters (thanks to JE):

GANGS of rioters set fire to cars and garbage trucks in northern Copenhagen after demonstrators evicted from a youth centre earlier in the year tried to occupy a new building.

Five youths were arrested in the capital after 28 cars and 35 garbage trucks were burned, Copenhagen police duty officer Jakob Kristensen said.

Danish media said arrests in other towns brought to 29 the number of people police were holding.

Scores of cars and several schools have been vandalised or burned in the past week.

Police could give no reason, but said that unusually mild weather and the closure of schools for a winter break might have contributed.

Police arrested two Tunisians and a Dane of Moroccan descent on Tuesday for planning to kill a cartoonist who drew one of the cartoons printed in a Danish newspaper two years ago that roused a storm of protest in Muslim countries.

Fifteen Danish newspapers reprinted his drawing on Wednesday in protest against the alleged murder plot.

Several hundred Muslims gathered in central Copenhagen yesterday to protest against publication of the cartoon.

There must be something about garbage trucks they cant stand. Oh, thats right, they want all countries to look like 'crapistan'!

Makes one wonder whats in store for spring break.

if nothing else, the Danish riots are proof that Islam still very backwards and cannot tolerate any sort criticism even though they're very critical of any other religion but their own

It's not because of crazy fundamentalist muslims, it's because of global warming!

Sheesh.

I do believe this position that the Danish "authorities" have taken is to keep the Danish citizens from becoming overly concerned.

Kind of like an Airline pilot telling the passengers that they are doing mid-air maintenance when a wing rips off in flight.

I can just hear it now, “Please remain calm folks, we’re just experiencing some mid-flight maintenance. We’ll get back to you when it’s all over.”

Or, “Due to unseasonably mild weather, your car burst into flames and a group of “youths” gathered around it to chant, “Allah’s a Crackhead”. Sorry for your loses, I hope you have fire insurance for your auto.”

Mild weather? Who in the world do they think they're fooling?!

I believe it.

Its a well known fact that Muslims have a tendency to set fire to things in mild weather. Its also a well known fact that they like to blow themselves up in Summer (but anytime will do). In the Winter they like to behead people and in the fall they like to fly aircraft into buildings and kill lots of people. During Ramadan they like to sprinkle human excrement onto chocolate cakes and serve it to Kufrs. They also like to go on pilgrimages and throw stones at a large rock in the middle of the desert whilst at the same time praying to it for forgiveness.

Etc Etc

Burned 35 garbage trucks? Do you know how expensive those are? But hey, they're mostly on the receiving end of government money, the Danes have to pay and pay and pay and pay and pay.

It's George Bush's fault!

Posted by: webo [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2008 9:56 AM

Well, there's the foehn wind in the Alps, which is said to drive men mad, and which courts sometimes accept as a mitigating factor in certain crimes of violence.
So if a wind can sometimes drive the staid Swiss mad, I can well believe that a little mild weather would set off the Moslems -- they're more than 1/2 mad already.
The Danes should just put them all in asylums until they're cured, which might take a long time. Of course there are those who will complain of the expense involved, but just think of all the money saved from not paying welfare to all of them, and of the savings on new garbage trucks.

You get it all wrong. It is Global Warming that is causing the issue. The peaceful Danes burn those dangerous CO2 producing vehicles in the name of saving the enviroment. It has nothing to do with Cartoons. They are trying to save the enviroment. Please get this right. All the car burning in the EU is to save the Enviroment from the evil capitalists that work for a living. You see it has nothing to do with religion.

RIGHT

Of course! All that global warming that several have mentioned is caused mainly by George Bush not putting the US under Kyoto. (There are, of course, minor factors like natural cycles and Chinese-made CO2, but those are insignificant.) Thus, it's Bush's fault for causing the global warming that caused the mild weather in Denmark that caused the muslims to riot.

Yes, it's all starting to make sense!
(To those suffering from BDS, that is)

See, the Goracle was right, NOT!

Btw: is there anything in the Koran or the sunnah that forbids depicting profit Mo?

I don't think so.

But if it is the clerics who are making it up then its also against this so-called 'religion'....

Solution, keep them busy and in school, and never tell them when the weather is 'mild'.

In an old movie a oldtimer NYC cop is telling a rookie, that violence peaks at exactly 92 degrees.
It may be an interesting study to compare temp, and weather conditions with Islamic uprisings, riots etc...

I, nabi ZK, no further intro needed, must set the record straight here lest someone get the wrong impression about mohametanism. They do NOT pray to the same rock that they throw stones at! They pray to a different rock. Throwing stones at the same rock you pray to? Now that would be really stupid. Sheesh.

nabi ZK

when will ol' mo's followers protest against murder.....?

when?

Posted by: exposesithlords [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2008 12:33 PM

Well, this is a hard one.

On the one hand, the youngsters who riot tend to be muslims, though not all of them, there are also some squatters and anarchists amongst them. That it's predominately muslim youths doing this tells a lot about the contempt that these peopel feel for their host country, a notion that has undoubtedly been given them, or reinforced by, their muslim parents.

On the other hand you have to ask yourself how well developed ideas about politics and religion a kid aged 14, 15 or 16 has. At that age most boys think more about sex and computergames than such heavy matters. Many of them are losers who find great pleasure in burning down buildings and vandalize public property. Teenagers rebel against authority and if you're a loser in society doing such things can give excitement and a feeling of being important that they you would otherwise never get.

So yes, I think it has got something to do with religion - Islam of course - but these kids are hardly hardcore Islamists.

Posted by: seville844 [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2008 1:16 PM

When we get unusually mild weather, we go to the beach. Maybe the Muslim youth of Denmark could try that.

Wait. Wasn't there some trouble in Australia along those lines?

Posted by: Marwan'sDaughter [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2008 1:17 PM

Print "Mohammad truck" on the garbage trucks, and then shoot them for blasphame if they throw rocks at it.

That way they'll have their sharia law, and the Danes will rid themselves of a lot of garbage.

Odd, isn't it? We've been experiencing a above-average temps & have had little snow in NYC this winter,
and there have been days-off school, yet vehicles haven't been set afire around the city.

It is ironic and twisted how and why apologists whine and whinge in defence of this uncivilized horde. These apologists continually spout with vitriol that it is we, whom are the bigots; however, anyone possessing a smidgen of forthrightness and an ability to discern fiction from fact would not do so. Needles to say, it is the apologists whom are the intolerant and bigoted, as is, their cause, Islam.
Whether it is a cartoon, a teddy bear’s name, which offends this fanatical horde; anarchy, maiming and murdering is constantly their reaction.

Posted by: ballzack [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2008 1:43 PM

We did this too in the Midwest where I grew up. When spring came early, when the weather was particularly mild, and school was closed due to holidays or spring break, we'd rampage like maniacs across the suburbs and in the cities looting, burning cars, throwing cinderblocks through storefront -- all of it.

Oh wait. That never happened. Not once. I am mistaken.

It's all coming back to me now. As I recall -- when the weather was mild, and school was out -- we'd visit our family -- go shopping -- play with friends -- go on outings. We'd have a picnic -- we'd go to the zoo -- we'd play a game of football -- sometimes even in the cold mud -- or we'd play the first game of baseball in the season. I don't remember ever burning a car. I don't remember ever terrorizing an old Jew. I don't ever remember throwing a cinderblock through a store front -- or anything remotely similar.

My how times have changed.

Long term European weather forecast for the period:

1924-1929
Partly cloudy, cold.

1930-1933

...Are they throwing stones at a rock, or throwing rocks at a stone?

I vote for stones at a rock, but that's just me. Perhaps we should make competing fatwas on this matter and touch off a minor conflict.

shiva. Your blog is awesome. I have learned so much there. Thank you.

Several schools and kindergartens have been burned now. The violence is still ongoing. Left wing 'autonme' groups have assisted the Muslims

Anders Fogh Rasmussen, our Prime Minister has made it clear that ALL responsibility for the violence we are witness to in these days lies solely with the 'youths' carrying out the attacks and their parents. Justice minister Lene Espersen has told the national media that the government intends to make the rioters parents responsible.

Peter Skaarup of the nationalist Dansk Folkeparti is proposing that the parents of children arretsed for starting fires are ordered to pay for the damage.

As I write this post, the fire engines are on their way out to Gjellerup once again...

Reuters headlines the story, "Danish youths riot for sixth night."

These flea bitten, camel molesting animals are no more Danish than is UBL.

They are invaders and occupiers in Denmark and should treated as such.

Posted by: infidel! [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2008 6:48 PM

Warm weather should inspire:
1) Walks in the park with your girlfriend? No. Muslims aren't allowed to mingle with unmarried members of opposite sex.

2) Taking the dog for a walk? NO. Islam teaches that dogs are filthy animals and not worthy of pets.

3) Sitting outside on the patio and having a beer? NO. Beer is forbidden in Islam.

4) Going to the beach or going out to a movie? NO. Women at the beach and in movies do not dress modestly and promote promiscuity.

5) Riot, arson, assault, vandalism? YES, these practices are easier in warm weather and are not forbidden under Islam.

Does this mean that unusually harsh weather has the opposite effect?

Should Danes be hoping for hurricanes?

I'm here in Alaska and the temp just shot up to 35 degrees from being below zero for a while.

So far...no one has burned any cars, schools etc...

I don't get it...

Posted by: Alaskan [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2008 8:20 PM

My Danish isn't perfect but since it seems a bit shocking that the Danes might mention the nice weather as having an impact, I just wanted to bring it to people's attention that according to the Danish newspapers, some of the people who've been arrested have blamed the cartoons and others actually blame being bored on their winter holidays. So when people think it's a bit nuts to hear Danish people quoted as saying "I think they were just bored." well... they're just quoting what the ruffians are telling them.

http://jp.dk/indland/krimi/article1269198.ece

"Det er svært at fastslå motiverne til det. Nogle siger, at det er Muhammedtegningerne eller udvisningerne af de to tunesiske mænd. Andre siger bare, at de keder sig i deres vinterferie," forklarer politikommissær Amrik Chadha fra politiet i Århus."

What's really sad is that from what I can tell, reading the Danish press, most of the people involved are kids - literally 12-17, with a few older ones in their mid 20's sprinkled in. I hope they do hold the parents accountable for this stuff, too. It's inexcusable. Another Danish article I read had a sociologist I believe saying blaming it on "not being allowed to integrate" was just plain "rubbish" because there have been peaceful immigrant communities in Copenhagen for decades.

Posted by: Lost in the Hazel [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 17, 2008 8:32 PM

Oh yea, it's the warm weather. Like most Americans when the weather warms I think of going to Detroit or some other Muslim cesspool, like maybe parts of Tampa and setting fire to Muslim owned cars or businesses. But like all my fellow countrymen I resist the urge. But I can identify with the feeling. It's all because of global warming which George Bush caused by using his chainsaw so much at his Texas ranch. Cut them some slack. They're Muslim and can't help themselves. It would be funny though if the Danes said "Sorry...no more trucks...no more garbage pickup. Just pretend you're back at home. Throw it out the kitchen window."

Paging all Danes here present -

can you tell us exactly how many schools, which ones, in which areas, have been attacked? Primary schools or high schools? And whether the areas they're in, are majority-Muslim, or not?

Similarly - where exactly were those 35 garbage trucks burnt, and all those cars? If the areas are Muslim-dominated, how many mosques are there, and where are those mosques in relation to, say, the schools and police stations (give us a google earth or other reference).

The Reuters article is far too vague and generalised, to be of much real use.

29 people have been arrested. Can Danish posters and readers come back here and tell us, once the names, ages, and gender mix of those arrested get into the local press or court records? Names will be a dead giveaway as to ethnic background.

For some perspective on Denmark: it is tiny, with a population of around 5.46 million. The CIA fact-book says 95 % of the population are nominally Christian and 2 % Muslim (my Christian source-book, 'Operation World', places active Christian adherence much lower, with only 1-4 % regular church attenders, though 50 % say that they pray, and estimates that at least 11 % of Danes are completely nonreligious; it also places the Muslim percentage higher, at around 3 %). The CIA source says the Muslims in Denmark are mostly Turkish, Iranian, and Somali.

The Danes are going to have to find the spiritual and physical courage, fast, now while the numbers are still on their side, to crush all signs of jihad, reject sharia creep, defend freedom of speech, and enforce the rule of Infidel, Western, Danish law in their rich, civilised, beautiful and previously peaceful country.

Posted by: dumbledoresarmy [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 18, 2008 8:26 PM

Correction. Instead of "names will be a dead giveaway as to ethnic background", Ishould have written, above: "names will be a fairly good indicator of religio-cultural background, since non-Muslim names are easily distinguished from Muslim names such as 'Ahmed', 'Mohammed' and 'Ali'".

Posted by: dumbledoresarmy [TypeKey Profile Page] at February 18, 2008 8:33 PM

This is absurd. Unless the police have an especially dry sense of humour, the weather is a weak excuse for the terror that has gripped Denmark as reported in this article. Moreover, if the warm weather had anything to do with terror, and the burning of motorcars, we would see this behavior in regions as far away as South America, Africa, India, and Australia, to name a few places. It is time to call these brigands what they really are...malcontents that should be deported back to their nations of origin. A fitting punishment to the crimes that they committed would be to place these miscreants into motorcars and set them ablaze after packing the cars with plastic explosives and ballberrings. The time for Europe to rise against the tide of Islamification is now. Let Holger Danske out with a victorious roar my Danish friends! Let him out now!
