Third Night of Ramadan Rioting in Capital of Europe

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

It looks as if immigrants youths want to turn nightly rioting during the Islamic holy month of ramadan into an annual tradition. Around 8:30pm last night violence erupted again in Brussels, the capital of Europe. The riots centered on the Brussels Marollen quarter and the area near the Midi Train Station, where the international trains from London and Paris arrive. Youths threw stones at passing people and cars, windows of parked cars were smashed, bus shelters were demolished, cars were set ablaze, a youth club was arsoned and a shop was looted. Two molotov cocktails were thrown into St.Peter’s hospital, one of the main hospitals of central Brussels. The fire brigade was able to extinguish the fires at the hospital, but youths managed to steal the keys of the fire engine.

During the month of ramadan Muslims are required to fast during the day and are only allowed to eat after sunset. As Esther pointed out “What should be noticed about the riots is that they start after sunset. Besides the fact that they start after dark, it also gives the rioters enough time to break their fast and enjoy the traditional family meal. Sunset is around 7:30pm.” Tuesday’s and Monday’s riots began around 8:30pm.

Last night the police arrested 45 rioters.

The immigrant youths claim that they are upset by the death of Fayçal Chaaban, a 25-year old criminal, in a Brussels prison last Sunday. Yesterday morning the authorities announced they would hold a meeting with the youths to hear their grievances about security in prison, but the meeting, which was due last night, could not take place because of the riots.

The authorities are especially nervous since the Belgian municipal elections are being held on Sunday October 8th. It is likely that the elections will be won by anti-immigrant, “islamophobic” parties. Since ramadan will not be over on October 8th and many immigrants might perceive a victory of the indigenous right (as opposed to their own far-right) as an insult, Muslim indignation over the election results in major cities may spark serious disturbances. According to a poll published today the Vlaams Belang party is set to win 38.6% of the vote in Antwerp (compared to 33,0% in the previous municipal elections six years ago).

Also, if no one shows up to vote but the xenophobics, no one can blame anything on anyone else since the election times are known.

My Paki friend is very peaceful indeed. He is observing ramadan and he ain't rioting.

I agree that not all muslims are alike, which is a good thing but it is getting apparent that not a single thing can be said about or to some of them without this type of reaction and yet it is perfectly OK for them to call the Pope and show his effigy being burned, chopping the cross in half you name it and they get a way with it.

To these people there is no such word as peace, do as we want or we will riot, etc.

some comments above are spot on only we would call them ****heads in the UK. Trouble is, they are dangerous ****heads

This is what I wonder. If they're so unhappy with Western culture, they should move out of the West instead of trying to force we Westerners to modify our culture/behavior for THEM. #### that.
