Belgium: Muslims riot, burn cars, injure 22 police officers in celebrations over soccer victory

Nov 12, 2017 2:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Imagine what would have happened if Morocco had lost.

“Cars burnt, police hurt in Brussels after Morocco World Cup success,” Reuters, November 12, 2017:

BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Celebrations in Brussels to mark Morocco’s return to soccer’s World Cup finals for the first time in two decades turned violent late on Saturday, when crowds clashed with police, setting cars on fire and injuring 22 police officers.

Images on social media showed overturned, burning cars and broken shop windows in Brussels city center as well as police trucks firing water cannons at crowds gathered in front of the city’s stock exchange.

Brussels police said that of some 1,500 people had come to celebrate Morocco’s 2-0 win over Ivory Coast, but that around 300 started to behave violently and attacked police officers and firemen called to put out burning cars and dust bins.

More than 100,000 people of Moroccan origin live in Brussels. Belgium saw an influx of Moroccan workers in the 1960s and 1970s.

Prosecutors said that by Sunday morning no arrests had been made, but Belgium’s interior minister vowed to hold those responsible to account, calling the events unacceptable….

Yeah, sure, you’ll hold them to account, all right.

    “More than 100,000 people of Moroccan origin live in Brussels.”

    If Muslims can’t take their Islamic misery with them when they migrate and impose it on others, they don’t feel at home. Misery loves company.

      WHAT VIBRANT MULTICULTURALISM!

      • Johnny Cuyana says

        Nov 13, 2017 at 2:28 pm

        Mortimer, sadly, we here in the West [USA] have engaged in such “multicultural expression” on way too many occasions; where, IMO, one time is way too many.

        Not to grant, whatsoever, any legitimacy to any such “fans”, but I do have a question: is this to the EU countries a new — muhammedism-motived — phenomenon or is this simply de rigueur for such sports “celebrations” … for its particular brand of fan?

        I am of the camp [of many] which believes that such disrespectful activities are perpetrated when foundational values are forsaken; especially, to be more precise, the value and respect for the rule of law — fairly and equally for all — is forsaken.

        May God save us all … where, in my belief, God helps those who help themselves.

    If they are Moroccan supporters maybe FIFA should consider banning Morocco from the world cup due to the bad behaviour of their supporters.

    • Mockingjay says

      Nov 12, 2017 at 6:00 pm

      No no – don’t ban them – personally I am SO looking forward to them going and trying to behave like this in RUSSIA.

      – Can’t wait to see it – and I don’t mean the soccer.

    Seems like Muslims riot when events are deemed positive and riot when events are deemed negative! Seems like the government in Brussels can’t differentiate between positive behavior and negative behavior. So then no one will get any consequences and this scenario will just repeat itself in the near future. Soon, Belgium will not only be known for its beer, but also for its tolerance of inappropriate Islamic behavior in Belgian society. ?

    Muslim rioting car burning and other forms of Muslim crime and violence in the nation of Belgium may serve as an example of Muslim ungratefulness and unthankfulness for letting them enter Sweden to live. This this further exposes the Muslim’s Islamic contempt for people who are Westerners and Western civilization, Western laws.
    This Muslim violence may be yet better explained by one of the fables of Aesop which is entitled THE FARMER AND THE VIPER. So here it is “Once in ancient Greece there was a farmer outside on a very cold winter day walking in if field to make sure that everything is in order and as it should be. The farmer came upon a half-froze viper about to die from the bitter cold. The kind yet foolish farmer took pity on the viper and in an action of kindness put it his is vest jacket to warms and up and thus save its life. The viper warned up revived and then bit farmer through the vest jacket. So the kind but foolish farmer died a slow painful death in awful agony because he felt sorry of the viper and saved it life. The point to this fable is the no amount of kindness will change and vicious and evil nature.
    So it is with those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter Belgium to live . Those violent migrants who are Muslims will not be impress and change because kindness of Westerners. This is because those violent Muslims have that ungrateful dangerous viper nature because of their venomous and violent religion which is Islam.

      As I have pointed out before, they are the. most ungrateful of swines. Gratitude is something they simply cannot comprehend. Speaks volumes about their fake religion. Even dogs and pigs show greater appreciation.

    Not only in Belgium, but I predict everywhere that insurance is written for motor vehicles, etc., coverage for losses arising from war or riot is excluded. So the owners of burnt cars, stores, homes, whatever have no claim against their insurance. Something to think about whenever there is a riot. Who pays the bill for the damage caused by the riots?

      There is also the annual mass “car-b-que” in France every New Year’s Eve, where Muslims torch over a thousand cars every year. The sick thing is, many in France appear to have reconciled themselves to this barbarism.

      I have–*insanely*–seen this referred to as a “tradition”:

      “France’s odd New Year tradition: Counting torched cars”

      http://www.france24.com/en/20140102-france-car-burning-new-year-tradition-urban-violence-media

      No mention in the France 24 article that this crime if perpetrated almost entirely by Muslims.

          Thank you, Vajapeya. I am probably not the first to use it–I doubt I am–but I have not seen it elsewhere.

    “Prosecutors said that by Sunday morning no arrests had been made, but Belgium’s interior minister vowed to hold those responsible to account, calling the events unacceptable…”

    What a load of Tosh! Firstly, why weren’t there any arrests? Is it because the police were too scared or just too PC’d and didn’t want to upset or infringe on the ‘rights’ of these heathens? And secondly, how are they going to locate and arrest them now they’ve dispersed and slithered back to their snake holes?

    It’s just lip service that has no substance whatsoever!

    • Tom from Brussels says

      Nov 13, 2017 at 4:30 am

      Not enough police were available. The centre is also “securitized” against truck ramming so police vehicles have no easy access. Firemen were attacked when they tried to put out the car fires. It very interesting to note that many apartments were also burgled at the same time.
      Local media says we must no stigmatise a whole community for the actions of “a few”.

      The problem is that the”few” seem to be many.

      Belgium was not even in the match. This was a World Cup qualifying game between Morocco and Ivory Coast.

      Nov 12, 2017 at 6:21 pm

      Yep.
      – The article “forgets” to mention that the “soccer-fans” also tore down a Christmas market during their “celebrations” as well.

    God, I hate Islam.

    Belgium should deport all these Moroccans who do not belong in Belgium.

    Islam has no place n Belgium.

    Any reason is legitimate to riot and rape. The religion of peace.

  16. lebel says

    Nov 13, 2017 at 6:45 am

    What does this have to do with Islam? riots occur in non-Muslims when team win or lose even in Canada with the Montreal Canadians and the Vancouver Canucks. What is the difference?

    Oh wait, Moroccans = Muslims = whenever they do something bad its because they’re Muslims and Islam.

    Jihadwatch is stormfront against Muslims. Period..

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 13, 2017 at 9:20 pm

      What absolute claptrap. The epidemic of car burnings did not start in France before the Muslim invasion. Does lebel think we don’t know this?

      And note that lebel pretends that Jihad Watch is like the Fascist Stormfront simply for opposing the rape of children, stoning of women, and the mass slaughter of unbelievers in Jihad terror attacks. *Ugh*.

  17. lebel says

    Nov 13, 2017 at 6:47 am

    I wonder if American jihadwatcher think football hooligans who cause untold mayhem across Europe are somehow Muslims.

    I would not put it past you guys at this point, honestly.

    I think if Muslims start a hooligan group it will end up on jihadwatch as something Islamic. Because everything BAD does by someone with a Muslim name will end up on jihadwatch.

    • gravenimage says

    WHAT VIBRANT MULTICULTURALISM!

    Moroccans apparently celebrate soccer victory by beating up police and burning cars.

    Quran (3:56) – “As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help.”

    Our leaders are EVIL. They colonised our nations with Muslims knowing the Quran and mosques command Muslims to wage violent jihad against Jews, Christians and all other non-Muslims.
