Athens, it is your turn

Muslim migrants riot in Athens

May 24, 2009

Dozens of cars have been smashed, 14 people injured and 46 arrested in riots by Muslim migrants over the alleged defacing of a Koran by a policeman. Police fired tear gas and stun grenades at hundreds of protesters outside Parliament in the city centre.

Police said they would investigate the allegation that an officer tore up an Iraqi migrant's Koran while checking his identity papers in Athens last week. "But this isolated incident cannot justify these acts of violence," said Interior Minister Christos Markoyiannakis.

Waves of illegal immigration in recent years have led to an influx of Muslims, mostly from Pakistan and Afghanistan, living in run-down parts of central Athens. Greek rights activist Thanassis Kourkoulas said the protest showed the migrants "have a voice".

Comment: Let's be clear, this was a staged "riot". The incident, alleged by the way,took place not a the supposed time of the incident. no, it took time to organize a "voice" as one activist tries to describe it-we call it planned destruction to gain attention. Note also that given only an incident that was Alleged this gave permission to Muslims, not Jews, not Hindus, not Christians, to riot. another example of "not -so-peaceful" religion and the tactic of fear it uses everywhere. The tactic is used not "to give a voice" rather it is used to create a fear in society so Western countries back off and ultimately back down. Note also this occurred by illegal immigrants-they have no rights yet watch, the government will afford them some-again, rather than stand against such irrational behavior, I suspect the government will acquiesce.
