Belgium: Muslim riots, Jewish neighborhood sealed

JihadAntwerp.jpg
Eurabians inspired by the Messiah

"How do you protest violence [allegedly] against a civilian population? Attack a civilian population, of course."

More jihad and Jew-hatred in Europe. "Antwerp: Arab riots, Jewish neighborhood sealed," from Islam In Europe, December 31 (thanks to Rudi):

How do you protest violence against a civilian population? Attack a civilian population, of course. These riots were expected, given the massive incitement that accompanied the organization of the demonstrations.

----

The demonstration that the Arab European League (AEL) in Borgerhout (Antwerp) organized against the bombardments of the Gaza Strip, has gotten completely out of hand. After the protest disbanded the demonstrators marched towards the Jewish neighborhood in Antwerp, clashing with the police. In particular car windows suffered, but also trams and buses were attacked.

The AEL held a protest action in the Kerkstraat in Borgerhout from 2pm. The protesters demanded the immediate suspension of the bombardments of the Gaza Strip and of the violence against the civilian population. Already during the demonstration in Borgerhout there were heated moments here and there.

The situation truly got out of hand when the demonstration disbanded at about 3:15pm. A group of protesters then marched towards the Jewish neighborhood in Antwerp. The police had completely closed off the neighborhood upon which started a cat-and-mouse game. The situation threatened to get out of hand and at about 3:25pm the police arrived with more manpower in order to drive out the protesters. At about 4pm the riots moved again to Borgerhout, in the area of the Turnhoutsebaan.

The protesters caused much damage, in particular to car windows but also trams and basses were attacked. The De Lijn bus company is diverting all buses and trams on the Turnhoutsebaan-Carnotstraat-Rooseveltplaats route. [...]

During today's demonstration damage was done, also in the Antwerp Diamantwijk (Diamond Center) where many Jews live and work. Today there is no activity in the sector, according to Freilich. Most shops are closed. Meanwhile the riots of isolated groups of protesters moved to Borgerhout and the Turnhoutsebaan area. The police is out in force.

There's also an issue of the Hamas flags which were present in the demonstration in Brussels for the suspension of the bombardments on the Gaza Strip . According to Freilich the green flag with the white text of Hamas is a banned symbol in Belgium of a terrorist organization. [...]

Various protesters in Brussels held the famous Hamas flag. The Jewish community is shocked that this is allowed. [...]

I am not shocked. We have a Europe that is so totally pathetic about its own culture and so ignorant of islamic history, its own current history with Hitler that they are pathetic.

They wouldn't recognize evil if Satan came up as a horned beast with cloven hoof, along with his host of devils all looking the same, and smacked them along side the head with his pointed tail and breathed fire on them.

I mean what does it take for a population to recognize they have a big problem?! or is it that they will just wait until it gets so bad, call for the USA to help them, and sit back and let us do the dirty work so they can bash us as usual?!?

And then look at our media, Universities and muslims... we seem to be having the same problem. Although I notice that more and more people here are indeed realizing the problem, I still have to take on the appeasers and apologists of our own who would rather bash me than go and do some reading on their own about islam and its history - current and/or past.

"How do you protest violence [allegedly] against a civilian population? Attack a civilian population, of course."

-

Motoons cause them to riot and attack Western targets. 9/11, the London and Madrid bombings and the Mumbai terrorist acts make them flock to the streets to celebrate.

When Hamas launches rockets into Israeli territory, they regard it as their brothers duly fulfilling the will of allah (the imaginary.) When the victims of those cowardly attacks decide to no longer be sitting ducks and start fighting back, muslims and their leftarded allies of convenience hold their hypocritical pro-jihad, anti-Israel and anti-Jewish demonstrations and riots.

That's what islam teaches them. Moral clarity is an alien concept to those who look to a seventh-century pedophile and fraudster for guidance.

The sign misspells Wiccan...

When one spot in the Ummah is irritated the entire body is irritated. Islam is a systemic infection with frequent eruptions here and there, like someone with a bad case of acne. The riots and violent protest in Belgium and elsewhere are such eruptions...Squeeze Islam and all kinds of rot comes oozing out...

When one part of the Ummah is inflamed, the entire body is inflamed.

Eruptions happen here, or there, because Islam is a systematic infection.

Like a person with a bad case of acne, Mohammadan eruptions happen.

Squeeze Islam and all kinds of rot comes oozing out.

The Belgium and other riots etc, are such eruptions.

Israel is squeezing Islam in Gaza and look what oozes out in Belgium and else where...

Sorry for the double post. I posted the first one, but it didn't appear and I lost it, so I re-wrote it and presto they are both here...Allah works in strange and mysterious ways, mostly strange and mysterious...

Posted by: duh_swami [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 31, 2008 1:31 PM

Islam clearly views itself as a diode toward violence. Violence is to flow outward from, but not toward Islam.

Too, too bad. I hope Israel finishes what it started with HAMAS.

The situation truly got out of hand when the demonstration disbanded at about 3:15pm. A group of protesters then marched towards the Jewish neighborhood in Antwerp. The police had completely closed off the neighborhood...
...............

Well, clearly the police knew what "the protesters" were about, or they would not have known to seal off the whole Jewish neighborhood.

more:

The protesters caused much damage, in particular to car windows but also trams and basses were attacked.
.................

Are these people still "protesters"? Aren't they at least "rioters", or, more appropriately, "attackers"?

Were any of the perpetrators of this new Kristallnacht arrested and charged? I haven't seen anything in all the accounts I've read to suppose this is so.

more:

During today's demonstration damage was done, also in the Antwerp Diamantwijk (Diamond Center) where many Jews live and work. Today there is no activity in the sector, according to Freilich. Most shops are closed.
.................

How appalling--this is like the aftermath of mob attacks on Copts in Egypt--you don't expect this to happen in major Western cities.

...............

A poster on the "Kill All Juice" thread insisted that a protester in London would have been arrested and charged with inciting racial hatred if they had had a more explicit sign ("Kill All Jews") in the UK. I wasn't so sure.

Here we have the widespread use of the Hamas flag--that of a terrorist organization--openly flaunted in the very capital of the EU.

Now London is not Brussels--but clearly this is a very dangerous situation all over Europe, and creeping into the US and other Western nations--a huge fifth column that can be mobilized whenever "the Ummah" is displeased.

In the past, this would have sounded rather paranoid--now it is confirmed just by turning on CNN or the BBC.

President Bush goes wobbly on us:

"Bush....raised again his worries about civilian casualties in Gaza. Johndroe said that Olmert gave Bush assurances that Israel is focusing its attack on the Hamas leadership governing the Gaza Strip and that it is trying to limit civilian casualties."


Bush tells PM he wants truce that Hamas will respect

We in Europe should be grateful every time these halfwits are stirred into action in this way.

At the moment the mainstream media, especially the British state broadcaster and propagandist the BBC, are easily able to suppress news of jihadist activity as it tends to be of a sporadic and short-lived nature.

However, the increasing frequency of jihadist incidents will make it impossible to keep the truth concealed for too much longer.

The machinations of the followers of this movement are nothing if not predictable.

Keep on stirring.

Posted by: SkinneeJay [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 31, 2008 2:10 PM

First try to find the actual participants. See how many can be picked up, and charged -- with whatever charge, including incitement to murder, can intelligently be brought. Make life as difficult, and expensive, for those so charged. Then proceed with as many others who can be found, and further found to be illegal immigrants or, if legal, fiddling the Belgian welfare system in any of a thousand ways. Start deporting, back to whatever Muslim country is most closely connected to them, all those who participated in the rioting. Then strip of citizenship those who have been engaged in illegal activities, and if necessary, write into law, to make clear, that Belgian nationality is a rare privilege, and will be extended only to,, and not removed only from those non-Belgians, who impliedly have made a contract, and that contract includes strict observance of the laws of the Infidel nation-state of Belgium.

A complete change needs to be made in the attitude toward and treatment of Muslims in Western Europe. They have been getting away with a lot. They should be made to understand that those days are over, and a few thousand being promptly deported will be a good start in changing attitudes. It will have to be done sooner or later, if art, science, and human freedom are to continue to exist in the countries of Western Europe. Easier now, harder later.

It seems the European chickens of letting in Muslim immigrants to replace those Jews they'd cheered off to the gas chambers 20 or so years earlier are coming home to roost. This is the lawless culture the spineless politicians have let in to replace the law-abiding Jews they couldn't be bothered to save, and it only goes to show how right the Spanish journalist Sebastian Vilar Rodriguez was in his piece from a few years ago - a piece I will reproduce on another thread.

HAMAS LEGALIZES CRUXIFICTION!

read it all here:
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1230111707087&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull

2 paragraphs fro the article.

"Both Iran and its Hamas proxy in Gaza have been busy this Christmas week showing Christendom just what they think of it. But no one seems to have noticed.

On Tuesday, Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Shari'a criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, it legalizes crucifixion."

Let's just hope the rest of Europe won't follow the suicidal British example. Deporting muslims to Egypt, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the rest of Dar al-Islam is no longer something the Brits do (unless those muslims happen to be homosexuals that will be killed by their relatives once back in their countries of origin) because sending them back to those places violates their human rights according to British judges (who act as though taking orders from Anjem Choudary, Yvonne Ridley and George Galloway.)

Instead of well-deserved deportation, muslims on British soil get one-million-plus pound mansions and thousands of pounds a month, not to survive while searching for a job (since the dhimmis from the welfare agencies that love them so much would never allow them to actually have to sweat in order to earn a living), but to devote ALL of their 24 hours a day of free time to destroying Britain from within, in the name of allah (the imaginary.)

-

If European ordinary citizens and voters don't change their ways, to force their leaders to act against the mohammedan scourge, their eventual destruction will be self-inflicted.

Can't the imams of these mosques, where the protesters came from, be charged with inciting
a riot and inciting hatred?
Can't the police shoot them?
People get tasered for a lot less than what these
violent muslims are doing.

Stop all immigration from muslim countries.
Round up all muslim protesters and deport them.

Posted by: dammahom [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 31, 2008 2:50 PM

Europe is facing a beast of its own making. Jews need to make Europe look bad- by leaving. If the National Goverments cannot or will not defend their Jewish citizens against their Muslim immigrant population, what is the point in staying?

the Idea that this great western bastion of Human Rights Idealogs would embrace making 2nd class citizens out of it's own natural born citizens. With so many skipping down the yellow brick road along the way.

"Muslim riots, Jewish neighborhood sealed"

Since it's the Moslems doing the rioting, shouldn't they be sealing the Moslem neighborhood?

Posted by: ebonystone [TypeKey Profile Page] at December 31, 2008 3:51 PM

ebonystone

good point.

BTW, everybody, I was over at Phyllis Chesler's 'Chesler Chronicles' and she has some interesting reports on the PRO-Israel demonstrations in the US. Not at all of them, alas, but certainly at a couple of them, the PRO-Israel demonstrators actually outnumbered the pro-Jihad demonstrators!!

http://pajamasmedia.com/phyllischesler/2008/12/31/gaza-comes-to-america-hate-demonstrations-against-israel-on-the-east-and-west-coasts/

Excerpt, describing a rally in Boston:

'Demonstrators massed from 4pm-7pm in various locations around Boston.

'Pro-Israel demonstrators decided to focus on one of their locations - Coolidge Corner (the Jewish neighborhood).

'According to Gloria Z. Greenfield, the producer of the film The Case for Israel, Democracy’s Outpost:

'“We had more numbers than they did and rather than standing across from them, we intentionally stood side-by-side with them to sabotage their efforts.

'*It got a little hairy at times, but we were able to overwhelm them and the tactic worked* {Nota bene - dda}.

'I would say that maybe they had 40 people and we had 60 people.

'They were very aggressive. *We were too* {my emphasis added - dda}.

'They were very open about their anti-Semitism.

'In the end it was a clear victory for us in terms of public message and numbers.” END QUOTE

Now *that*, ladies and gentlemen of the Resistance to Jihad and Sharia, is what we have to aim for: NOW, everywhere in the West that the supporters of Jihad Against the Jews are mustering their antisemitic genocide-inciting rallies.

Right now, we Infidels do have the numbers to outnumber the pro-Jihad pro-Genocide howlers., if we can just get ourselves organised.

(I suggest that Australian, Canadian, and UK Resisters should get in touch with the Hindu and Sikh communities - especially the Sikhs! - ASAP; I suspect that Muslims would be seriously rattled by the implacable presence, at a pro-Israel rally, of stern Sikhs in full regalia. Pan-Infidel solidarity needs to be got going - Mumbai backfired on the Ummah by warming up the relationship between many anti-Jihad Indians, and Jews, and this should be leveraged for all its worth, by both Jews and non-Muslim Indians).

"Muslim riots, Jewish neighborhood sealed"

Since it's the Moslems doing the rioting, shouldn't they be sealing the Moslem neighborhood?

You raised a good point, and in the minds of the modern dhimmi this can be explained:

"As Islam is a Religion of Peace™, to impose restrictions on a whole group of peaceful people would be unjust. And that would make them angry. And you don't want to see the peaceful people get angry."

"There's no proof that this was done by Muslims. If it was done by Muslims, they would only be a tiny percentage of the Muslim people, so you can't collectively punish all Muslims for the behaviour of a few individuals."

"Only a few Muslims, if indeed they were Muslim, are the problem. On the other hand, every Jew is a problem for the Muslims, so there is no collective punishment in closing off the Jewish neighbourhoods because they are collectively and individually the cause of the problems."

And that seems to me the way that the thought processes have gone. In practice though I would admit, it's easier in a modern country to remove those non-residents from an area than it is to keep the residents from leaving the area. Think of the lawsuites resulting from Mohommedans claiming they have been unlawfully detained in their homes. If the inhabitants of the Jewish neighbourhood complain, they will be told it is for their own safety, making it hard to complain/sue.

....sending them back to those places violates their human rights according to British judges

Even in the rare cases where British judges order deportation, the judge's decision can be overthrown by the court of appeal. The decision can again be challenged in the European Court of Human Rights who invariably find for the 'victim'. The cost of this process runs into millions and in the end we are stuck with having to house and feed the alleged criminal/terrorist and of course the family, for ever.

A situation has occurred in Iraq concerning two British soldiers who have been accused of crimes against the Iraqi people and are going to be tried under the newly formed Iraq justice system which Iraq have recently assumed responsibility from the British military. A human rights court has ruled that the Brits are unlikely to receive a fair trial in Iraq. The British government however has overruled this decision and is allowing the case to proceed. The penalty for this crime under Iraqi law is death. So we have a situation that when a human rights court rules in favour of a British soldier his government fails to listen and act.

Yes, I heard about this. For Britain and the US--with the most advanced of judicial systems--to put their own troops under the inept, corrupt and heavily Shari'ah-influenced Iraqi "judicial system" is appalling. For the West to consider this "justice" is nothing less than suicidal.

I've never heard that. Here's what I've heard:

(from the one-sided bastion of political correctness, but the facts in this case are probably more-or-less right http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7791994.stm )

"Iraq trial for UK death suspects

The soldiers died after being ambushed in southern Iraq
Two Iraqis accused of killing two British soldiers can be tried by Iraqi authorities despite a "real risk" they could face the death penalty.
Faisal Al-Saadoon and Khalaf Mufdhi are accused of murdering Staff Sgt Simon Cullingworth and Sapper Luke Allsopp.
The High Court has ruled it is lawful for them to be transferred from British custody and tried by an Iraqi court."

It's a couple of Iraqis who killed two British soldiers who are being handed over to the Iraqi government for trial.

I watch aljazeera tv to see how low they can get. Two injured kids that were used as human shield are taken out from one ambulance with 8 to 15 camers take video from multiple angels and later use the multple takes in randon fassion mixed with old videos to make it look like the Israelis are killing nothing but kids when only two human shield-used kids are injured or killed.

The two look like twenty or more when repeated randomly from multiple agles and mixed with old videos.

Al Jazeera tv is doing the arabs a dis-favor or dis-service by making them angry, raising their blood presure and hopefully causing few heart attacks at best. At worst, they are provoking the muslim terrorists to be more devoute muslim terrorists.

Re the human rights issue above:

I originally got my story from the BBC but have since read the facts in the Independent which confirms Mr Mason's version as correct.
Sorry for giving readers bum information. I can believe almost anything of our government.

I am waiting to hear how many prisoners the UK are going to take when Obama closes Guantanamo. We can't deport the criminals/terrorists that we have already due to human rights. I noted that despite all the criticism of America imprisoning these people illegally, the prisoners' home countries don't want them back so hence the need to find countries that will take them.
