Belgium: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” set Christmas tree on fire

Jan 4, 2016 11:30 pm By Robert Spencer

A glimpse into Europe’s glorious multicultural future.

“Teenagers set Christmas tree on fire in New Year’s Eve rampage,” by Frank Chung, News.com.au, January 3, 2016:

A VIDEO of teenagers lighting a petrol bomb under a Christmas tree while yelling “Allahu Akbar” has sparked outrage in Belgium.

The incident occurred in a square near the Clemenceau metro station in Anderlecht, in the Belgian capital Brussels, on New Year’s Eve.

In the video, originally uploaded to Facebook and later posted to Liveleak, a group of people approach the tree before one throws an object underneath.

Seconds later an explosion can be heard, and the tree is quickly engulfed in flames. As they run away, the teens can be heard yelling “Allahu Akbar”.

The original uploader, named as Mohamed Amine in the video description, has since taken down his Facebook page.

Brussels residents took to Facebook to express their outrage. “Today they will set fire to a Christmas tree, tomorrow they will behead a Christian,” wrote one man.

“When they celebrate Ramadan nobody bothers then, so why do they attack the beliefs of others?” another said. “We will not stop celebrating the birth of Jesus.”

One man said he was “shocked by what I saw last night in Brussels”.

“Brussels is no longer a free city,” he wrote. “Anyone who has ever had the opportunity to travel abroad may realise that the situation in Brussels is neither normal nor tenable in the long-term.

“Brussels will die economically, socially and touristically, especially if no drastic policy is conducted within 10 years. I am very serious.”

One man described the attack as an “act of racism [and an] attack [on] our customs”, while another said: “The only solution is to return foreign offenders to their country with a good ass-kicking.”

It followed a second video taken on the same evening showing a gang of youths pushing a car down an escalator of the Clemenceau metro station.

The car crashed on its side while shocked riders watched from an adjoining escalator, as the youths run away swearing and yelling. No one was injured but train services were suspended for the rest of the evening

One of the youths was arrested, local news site HLN reported. It is not known whether it is same group of youths in both videos….

    So a burning Christmas tree causes outrage, but terrorist murders and moslem rapes do nothing to stir all out action from the Belgians?

    • Ernie says

      Hey Don McKellar , I don’t know what your problem is with the Belgian people , but I think you have insulted and accused them more then enough . Maybe you can turn your negative attention to the perpetrators . Or do you love bashing Europeans ?

      • Earth's child says

        Jan 5, 2016 at 1:21 am

        Exactly instead on focusing your anger on the barbarians, you are trying the divert attention to the Belgians who are being attacked in their own land. How ungrateful of them, or should I said “typical of them”. Please support Belgians and all other non-Muslims who are under attack by Islam from to Asia.
        We should be outrage by all incidences of violence against Christians from the burning of a Christmas tree to the beheading of infidels. All these acts are done to scare and silence the infidels. Perhaps burning a Christmas tree is the first step to more serious attacks.

        So peace to you Don McKellar and Happy New Year.

          So who brought all these savages into Europe? Left wingers who want to destroy Western Civilization and Christianity and you Europeans keep electing these traitors! Don’t expect sympathy when you let your women and children be raped by these animals. Be a man, get a gun and start shooting the criminals.

        • Ernie says

          Jan 5, 2016 at 10:51 am

          Sure Shane , get a gun . You never heard about strict arm control laws in Europe ? Besides , keyboard hero , …………shooting criminals…..you end up in jail for the rest of your life . Thanks for your worthless comment .

        I believe that Don is not ” insulting” the people of Belgium. He is criticising their lethargy and inaction in the face of escalating Muslim attacks against their society. The same of course applies to Britain. I have more or less given up talking to other ” Brits” about the dangers of Islam and its adherents.
        When not being called an ignorant, racist bigot I usually get the following
        I have lots of Muslims friends. They are lovely people
        I work with Muslims. They are never any problem
        We have Muslims living in our street. They are so quiet and polite.
        Islam is a religion of peace
        and my favourite—-Muslims are not the problem—–PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE.!!!!!!!

        • Shane says

          Jan 5, 2016 at 10:30 am

          That’s a typical liberal response. Oh, its only a few Muslims doing all the killing and if you say anything negative about the religion of peace they will increase their raping, robbing, killing, and destruction. Liberals are cowards who protect our enemies, except for a few like Bill Maher and Sam Harris.

          Pat Condell is one Brit who has the guts to tell the truth about the Muslim problem!

        Who voted repeatedly for the European leaders who let this happen, and blamed “islamophobes”?

        It’s just a simple question.

        • Ernie says

          Jan 5, 2016 at 9:42 am

          No , the rulers in Europe , whoever they are , are abusing their powers just as in the U.S.A. . How many times you people in the U.S.A. have been dragged into WAR while the majority of the people didn’t want it ? How many times we , the European people have been dragged into wars we didn’t want ? The same with inviting so called ‘refugees’ . Our democracy is dying or dead already . Free speech is endangered in your nation aswell as in ours . We are being controlled . We have strict gun control laws ; so we can’t defend ourselves . All kinds of lobbyists are running around in Washington and Bruxelles and their influence has nothing to do with democracy . The whole SYSTEM is rotten to the core . But if you think you can make the difference , well , sweet DREAMS to you !

      • Sam says

        Jan 5, 2016 at 12:10 pm

        Of course the REAL problem is leftist Belgians (Europeans)who have been enabling Islam since probably WWI. It is the same here in USA. Without infidel enablers like mainstream media, US administration, leftist populace, academia, Islam (which is really a stupid cult) can not exist.

        This should be clear to JW readers by now, or do I not see the truth like liberals keep telling me that the real problem is American greed, and imperialism imposed on the rest of the world and nature?

        • Ernie says

          Jan 5, 2016 at 12:54 pm

          You got it Sam ; the Leftards have dictatorial/totalitarian tendencies , and RULE over us in Europe now . The European Union is an UNDEMOCRATIC institution . It dictates . It pushes it’s agenda without consulting our populations .

      I’m glad something is raising Belgian ire at Muslim savagery.

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Jan 6, 2016 at 7:23 am

        My thoughts exactly.

        The ‘wake-up’ call is different for everybody. Different for every individual, different for each *nation*.

        And usually it is not what people *think* will do the trick.

        The bombings of London buses and the underground didn’t catalyse the creation of the EDL…but Muslims behaving disrespectfully as the bodies of British soldiers, fallen in action in Afghanistan, were conveyed through Luton, **did**.

        If, in Belgium, the burning of a Christmas tree is what triggers awareness, well, that’s just what it took to wake up Belgians.

  2. spade says

    Jan 5, 2016 at 1:47 am

    A rape is against an individual, an unknown to most, but when you attack a symbol you attack the core of manys beliefs, “mohatemed” is a symbol, a sick one, but none the less a symbol too. Christmas is something that many hold dear as memories, and happy times usually go hand in hand with this. If it takes a burning of a tree in a public place to wake up the slumbering population…so be it. And good about time. Maybe calling a spade a spade, in calling the belgians apathetic in a round about way if its the truth so be it. I live in apathalia (Australia). We too are a very tolerent, mind our own bussines culture. It will change, it will have to or we will perish as a culture too.

  3. Angry Aussie says

    Jan 5, 2016 at 2:36 am

    Disgraceful and extremely disrespectful to the people of Belgium. We have had several incidents occur here in Australia over the past few years. It’s really disturbing because incidents like this just aren’t making the news like a slice of ham in a mosque car park would. How ridiculously “culturally sensitive” are civilised people expected to be against these violent, inbred psychopathic leaches?

    • Mike says

      Jan 5, 2016 at 1:22 pm

      You pretty much put it correctly with the slice of ham.

      When you think about it, TORCHING a Xmas tree is a lot more serious than dropping a slice of ham in the carpark.

      But the media manipulates public opinion by presenting it as the reverse.

      Hence the problem.

      But they can only hide it from the average person for so long, because now it is getting to the point that the average person is being affected directly.

      What will be the trigger? Attacks on our liberty? No. Attacks on our culture? No. Attacks on our values? No. Attacks on kufr young girls? No. Attacks on kufr young boys? No. Attacks on kufr old men and women? No. Attacks on kufr religious sites? No. Attacks on kufr’s economic endeavors? No. Attacks on our significant historical sites? No. Perhaps attacks on our insignificant historical sites? No, not that either. Attacks on our police? No. Attacks on our politicians? No. Attacks on pedestrians? NO. Attacks on auto drivers and passengers? No. Attacks on train passengers? No. Attacks on plane passengers? No? Attacks on ship passengers? No. Attacks on underground, or subway/metro passengers? No. Attacks on tall buildings full of kufr people? No. Attacks on magazine writers/publishers? No. Attacks on rock concert goers? No. Attacks on Christmas party goers? No. Attacks? No.

        A beautiful and very accurate reply

        • Mike says

          Jan 5, 2016 at 1:33 pm

          The “First they came for…” thing is all to real, all over again.

          Indeed, that whole phenomenon is known as HISTORY.

          What will likely happen is that over time, ethnic Europeans will bunch up in some remaining holdout areas and fight from there. My guess is that Sweden will be the first place to become an “Islamic Republic” and that ethnic Swedes will look for refuge in Norway. At first, it’ll start by economic collapse, but eventually it’ll be an all-out ethnic thing.

          “Islamic Republic” areas will have higher fertility, but will have more screwed up societies and probably much higher (especially) infant mortality. Over the long term, the inherent demographics of that will probably determine things, but we’re talking centuries.

          Either that or eventually an all-out war will start. But I’m guessing that it’ll be a USA-style “white flight” phenomenon writ VERY LARGE.

        Jan 5, 2016 at 7:28 am

        don vito, I agree with your list, except for this one.

        ”Attacks on our politicians? No.”

        I think that *will* be the catalyst, when the traitorous scum who orchestrated all this actually get their *own* hides singed.

        If not, then we *are* well and truly f*cked, and civil war is on the horizon.

        • DFD says

          Jan 5, 2016 at 1:15 pm

          Mirren10 says : “… If not, then we *are* well and truly f*cked, and civil war is on the horizon.”

          Dear Mirren, I agree, but you need specs. It’s already over the horizon, and the enemy has opened fire, and continues to attack.

          My views? I leave it to the gentleman below:

          Marcus Tullius Cicero, to the Senate of Rome:

          “There exists a law, not written down anywhere, but inborn in our hearts; a law which comes to us not by training or custom, nor by reading but by derivation, by absorption and adoption from nature itself; a law which has come to us not from theory but from practice, not by institution but by natural intuition. I refer to the law which lays it down that, if our lives are endangered by plots or violence or armed robbers or enemies, any and every method of protecting ourselves is morally right.”
          –
          What Cicero told the Senate so eloquently and politely was this: If you fail to defend the people, the people will have to defend themselves, by whatever means.

          And finally:
          Delando Islam

        • don vito says

          Jan 5, 2016 at 2:02 pm

          Mirren 10 Thank you for your agreement, and perhaps you are right. Would your catalyst be the “trigger”? I could have added many more examples of what is not a trigger. Under present societal and cultural organization, even if a member of the ruling political class get their hide singed, would that be a trigger? Others of the ruling class, would more or less, keep the singed member inline, using all the ruling political class, weapons they have at their disposal. These same weapons are used against kufrs right now. “Civil war,” I think is what we in the west have already. It is a civil war against a civil society, by people brought in to our society, as our replacements. In alliance with leftist kufrs, these kufr lefts believe the kufr leftist make and enforce the rules (laws, edicts, diktates, etc.) This is a one-sides civil war, against a civil people, using an uncivil people. All my best.

      Civil war has started in Southern France already. You don’t hear about it because it is not reported in the international media. Recent events in Corsica have shown the indigenous people are no longer willing to tolerate the islamic invasion and the crime wave that comes with it.

      Quite the opposite seems true. The more atrocities that are committed in the name of islam, the more calls for penalties for criticism of islam and protected status for Muslims we see. The more they act out, the more sympathy they garner.

    Jan 5, 2016 at 8:08 am

    Ain’t karma amazing?

    Seriously, what did the Belgians expect? They repeatedly voted for people like Philippe Moureaux, (member of the Socialist Party / Parti Socialiste, mayor of Molenbeek from 1992 until 2012) and this was not solely due to the muslim population being enamoured of vicious dishonest anti-Semites; the Belgian Multi-Kulti left was largely responsible and Moureaux had substantial support from the haut-bourgeoisie. In Moureaux’s case, the man was appallingly corrupt and complaints were made known to the authorities from 2002 onwards – and nothing was done. Who can forget his famous remark that Molenbeek “is not the Bronx”? Well, I suspect many Brussels residents wish devoutly it were!

    Belgium’s profound civic malaise has been evident since the Dutroux serial killer case in the late 1980’s. Money pours into Brussels from the various EU agencies, inflating a parasitic economy and benefiting an elite that is completely disconnected from their own population base, while degrading the basic civil infrastructure. And all the while they import more and yet more unassimilable people from failed societies….

    • dragaozao says

      Jan 5, 2016 at 8:11 am

      Accurate analisys. But that can be said from almost all Europe. Bye bye freedom. Maybe that’s what the elite wants…

    Belgium: Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” set Christmas tree on fire
    ………………………

    Muslim thugs. Christmas trees are a symbol of Christian and secular celebration–so of course they are a target for Mohammedans.

    And this is not the first time this has happened:

    “Oregon: Muslim teen arrested after attempted car bomb attack at Christmas tree lighting ceremony”

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/11/oregon-muslim-teen-arrested-after-attempted-car-bomb-attack-at-christmas-tree-lighting-ceremony

    This thug was also screaming “Allahu Akbar!”

    And in neighboring Germany, Muslims celebrated New Year’s Eve by sexually assaulting Infidel women:

    “Germany: 1000 Muslims commit mass sexual assaults of women around Cologne train station”

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/01/germany-1000-muslims-commit-mass-sexual-assaults-of-women-around-cologne-train-station

    God, I hate Islam.

    Belgium, home and headquarters of the entire EUnuch government apparatus.

    They will now no-doubt ban Christmas as an inclusive tolerant multicultural show of solidarity with their new masters.

    ISLAM, ISLAM, UBER ALLES! We’ve all seen this movie before, haven’t we?

    Two words: firing squad.

    Brussels residents took to Facebook to express their outrage. “Today they will set fire to a Christmas tree, tomorrow they will behead a Christian,” wrote one man.

    This guy gets it.

    “When they celebrate Ramadan nobody bothers then, so why do they attack the beliefs of others?” another said. “We will not stop celebrating the birth of Jesus.”

    This guy doesn’t – deer in headlights.

    One man said he was “shocked by what I saw last night in Brussels”.

    “Brussels is no longer a free city,” he wrote. “Anyone who has ever had the opportunity to travel abroad may realise that the situation in Brussels is neither normal nor tenable in the long-term.

    “Brussels will die economically, socially and touristically, especially if no drastic policy is conducted within 10 years. I am very serious.”

    This guy gets it as well.

    One man described the attack as an “act of racism [and an] attack [on] our customs”, while another said: “The only solution is to return foreign offenders to their country with a good ass-kicking.”

    Motivation aside (religion, not racism), this guy gets it too.

    See the attacks today on Belgians wherever muslims will grow, these attacks will grow, throw them out is the only solution. Don’t leave even one behind they grow like fungi. If you people want peace in Europe, throw them out from all over europe. Same thing is happening everywhere by these Muslims. You give them home, food shelter and they payback by bombs.
