Friggin trash, against the wall with all of them.

How long is it before this type of the thing spreads to Belgium? The Netherlands? Germany? I don't see this in Switzerland (having each household have a weapon is a good detterant IMO), but in the other Northwestern European nation's I can definantly imagine this taking place.

Well, we came close to a hazardous situation after the killing of v. Gogh, but nothing compared to what's happening in Paris now. It's a totally different situation there btw, we don't have ghetto's like the ones in Paris, or other big French cities like Lyon and Marseille.

This came into my mailbox a couple of days ago from Jihad Watch about the Muslim riots in Denmark this week which have gone largely unreported.

Obviously the source has an agenda and a point to push, but it's news I haven't heard in mainstream media in the UK.

"Several days of Muslim Riots in Denmark (Not only in France)," a translation of this Jyllands Posten piece from Free Republic (thanks to Shiva):For several nights in a row, there has been the worst riots in Århus for many years. "This land belongs to us", declared the young rioters. Another arson attack took place sunday night. Sunday evening the fire department needed police escorts to get in and extinguish an arsonist fire in Søndervangs Alle. The words of the young Muslims sound like an open declaration of war against Danish society. The police must stay away. This area belongs to immigrants. Four youngsters sit at the wall in the Rosenhøj center, sunday afternoon, self decleared spokesmen, for those groups who three nights in a row has rioted, and put business on fire. All around the parking lot, there are swarms of cars with youngster from the immigrant community, who are celebrating the worst riots in Århus in several years. Every night, 30 to 40 immigrant youngsters participated. Only two are under arrest. It was a victory. "We knew that you would come. We are the spokesmen", said one young man with his face covered. He was angry. Very angry. Petrol though the window. At the back of the house was a window broken, and the fire was burning wildly, probably because of petrol that had been thrown in. The fire engines waited for police escort so they could enter in and try to put out the fires. Bricks from the street have been thrown and crushed windowns all up the street. The police reports that the youngsters came to the area armed with rocks that they brought in. Rocks against a bakery. Saturday, a 16 year old from Somalia was jailed for comitting dangerous violence, because he attacked a bakery with large rocks. One rock barely missed the baker's face. Raids. "We are tired of being oppressed. We are tired of the police raiding our parents. We are tired of the police stopping our cars, and raiding us in public and damaging our honour." "We are tired of the police beating up our friends, like they did this afternoon", screams the young man with his face covered. He calles himself 100 percent palestinian, born in a refugee camp in Lebanon, 19 years ago, and is now unemployed in Denmark. "The police has to stay away. This is our area. We rule this place." And then comes the cartoons of Mohammed. "We are angy to what has happened to our prophet. We are tired of the Jyllands Post (Danish paper who published cartoons of Mohammed). I know that it wasn't you, but we are not going to take this, what the Jyllands Post has done towards the prophet", he states aggressivly, and the others nod in agreement. Planned for three weeeks. Two of them are Turks, and it is the first time that Turks and Palestinians have joined forces, according to the spokesman. "We have planned this for three weeks. That's why only two were arrested on Saturday. Police tried to block us in, but we now how to get out", he states and dissapears chewing on a piece of pizza that he has looted from Fun Pizza.

Think I read about that, from a non reputable source. Ach, Western Europe is turning into the balkans...

[shamrock_uk]

At least the Balkans got split up

[johnny]

Well, if the Danish police can't even handle a group of 40 angry kids, they have their work cut out for themselves in the future.

I suppose if you're going to have mass riots, France is the place to do it.

[krunchyfrogg]

Ok, I have been drinking a little tonight, so maybe I missed something, but the article seems to mention protestors, but not what they're protesting. (???)

To quote from the OP:
"he unrest was triggered by last Thursday's accidental death in Clichy-sous-Bois, five miles from Aulnay, of two African teenagers who were electrocuted while hiding in a power substation from what they believed, apparently wrongly, was police pursuit "
