But I keep coming back to what is rapidly becoming an existential theme.
I'm sorry if I'm boring you, but I can't shut up.

A.) WEEKLONG RIOTS IN AMSTERDAM.
On Sunday, October 14, Bilal Bajaka, a Dutch youth of Moroccan descent, or shall we rather say a Moroccan living off Dutch Social Security, stepped into a police station in Slotervaart, one of Amsterdam's western neighborhoods, and randomly started stabbing the police officers present. One policeman received five stabs (one of them deep in the throat hitting the wind pipe) as well as several cuts in face and shoulders. An artery in his head was hit. His colleague, a female sergeant, was little better off, being stabbed in the chest and the back. A pulmonary artery was cut and a lung perforated. Yet she somehow managed to pull her weapon and shoot the scumbag dead. The parents of Mr. Bajaka complained that their son had been released too early from the mental institution he was in. They were visited the day after by Slotervaart Mayor Ahmed Marcouch, who offered his condolences (there was no report from a visit to the severely wounded police officers, then still fighting for their lives). Bilal Bajaka was the brother of one Abdullah Bajaka, who two years ago was arrested for planning to blow up an El Al Boeing at Schiphol Airport. And in 2003, when in jail (Bajaka first started to appear in police records in 1998, when he was, uh, thirteen), he was visited there by Mohammed Bouyeri, the murderer of Theo Van Gogh. Of course, all this must be coincidence.
Not one day later police first reported growing tensions among the local "youths" and then stones thrown through the windows. It appeares the largely moroccan neighborhood did not appreciate the shooting of a criminal from among their own, and especially not by an infidel chick. Monday, October 17, all hell broke loose. Over the course of one week, tens of cars were torched, media crews who were filming the events attacked, and the indigenous population, I assume a minority in Slotervaart, terrorized. In a perverse act of symbolism, a funeral service for Bajaka was held in a mosque in the immediate vicinity of the police station which was attacked (Dutch blog Klein Verzet reports it was the same mosque he visited before he went into the police station). Throughout the week the Dutch police presented a baffling show of inactivity, not intervening and hardly making any arrests even when cars were put on fire literally under their noses. It's not that the officers themselves did not want to act, they were ordered not to do anything, and the Amsterdam Police Chief, Bernard Welten, even officially announced this so-called De-escalation Policy on Dutch TV. Welten literally said that he wanted to avoid a Parisian scenario and that it was therefore necessary to "keep the peace at all cost." In this he was supported firmly by Amsterdam Mayor Job Cohen, who, when a Dutch Police Union asked for at least a ban on demonstrations, replied that that was unnecessary. Job Cohen is a prominent member of the PvdA, one of the Dutch Socialist parties.
By Tuesday, fire crews had to be escorted by police. All through the week and the week thereafter, cars were set alight by rampaging moroccan youths, with the unrest spreading to the adjacent neigborhoods of Osdorp and Geuzenveld-Slotermeer. Finally, by Friday, October 27, things seemed to come to a rest at last, with "only" two cars burned the previous night. Now, while the vandalims of Amsterdam's muslim scum got a fair deal of attention, mostly thanks to blogs, similar events in another major Dutch city, Den Haag (The Hague) went almost unnoticed. A most disturbing story came from Dutch daily De Telegraaf, which wrote that indigenous inhabitants of the Transvaal and Schilderswijk neighborhoods dare not report their torched cars and damage done to their property to the police for fear of reprisals from the moroccan perpetrators. Yes, it has come so far.
B.) WEEKLONG RIOTS IN BRUSSELS.
Sorry, too sick of it all to write any further. Big photo from Elaib Harvey, TBJ editor. Little one from a Belgian newspaper. In Brussels, the perpetrators are Turkish youths. On Sunday night they busted an Armenian cafe because they were fed up with reports from PKK rebels killing Turkish troops. Apparently the Turks thought that their cause - their indignation over Kurshish muslim rebels killing regular Turkish Army conscripts - was furthered by smashing to smithereens a cafe owned by a Christian. Anyway, police was in the neighborhood but did nothing. They were more active in September, when they beat up Vlaams Belang members peacefully protesting the islamization of Europe. The incident at the cafe marked the start of a weeklong period of car burning, rock throwing, and shop busting. Filthy dogs, all of them. Biting the hand that feeds them.
More details tomorrow. Check for updates.
This can't go on. The cancer of islam must be eradicated.
MFBB.
UPDATE: CHARLES JOHNSON IS MAKING A BIG MISTAKE.
Over the past few days, there have been a disturbing series of allegations that the Vlaams Belang is a neonazi party. Videos have been sent - reportedly by an extreme leftwing Belgian blogger (Yelloman) to LGF's Charles Johnson and he seems to have been lured into believing the crap.
Please, for God's sake. Someone email Johnson. I have NEVER denied that the origins of the Vlaams Belang/Vlaams Blok were murky. There's even several posts in this blog which explain that in detail. But you got it all to see from a Flemish perspective. Throughout Belgian history, EVEN TILL TODAY, Flemings have been treated like second rate citizens. EVEN TODAY, Flemings must put up thousands of more votes to get an MP elected to the federal parliament compared to the number of votes it takes for the French-speaking Walloons to elect an MP of their own. EVEN TODAY, the number of Flemish ministers in the federal government is equal to the number of Walloon ministers, even though the ratio of Flemings to Walloons is 6 to 4. You MUST understand that in the past, unfortunately, SOME Flemings sided with the Germans who falsely promised them greater self-rule. I have NEVER denied that when the Vlaams Blok was raised in 1977 to fight for legitimate Flemish rights, a number of people who had collaborated with the Nazis were there too. And I would never have joined the VB in that time. But anno 2007 the VB, in the meantime the Vlaams Belang, has become a modern party with an agenda that is as close to the GOP's agenda as any European party can get. THAT IS MY HONEST OPINION.
We over here in Europe NEED parties like Vlaams Belang. We are facing a mortal threat in the form of islamization and inside Belgium, the VB is the only political power seriously addressing the issue. Who cares when Filip Dewinter was a hothead in his student years? Btw, I have NEVER seen him sporting a swastika. Jesus Christ, compared to Ann Coulter Filip Dewinter is a schoolboy. It was The Netherland's Geert Wilders who called for banning the Koran, not Dewinter: HE defended publication of that terrible book. Who cares about a few godforsaken lapsuses? WHO GIVES A FUCK ABOUT A CELTIC CROSS ON HIS BOOKSHELF??? I like the Celtic Cross myself, and I am by no means someone who looks down upon people of other colour! We come from the Celts!
Please, tell Charles Johnson he is making a GRAVE MISTAKE by smearing the VB. In a time like this, WE NEED TO BE ALLIES, NOT ENEMIES. He's being bombarded now with futile reports and dubious photos from leftists.... and he's stepping into the trap. Let me show you another Filip Dewinter:
VB strongman Filip Dewinter shaking hands with rabbi Pinchas Meyers. TELL CHARLES JOHNSON THE VB IS PROTECTING BELGIUM'S JEWS!!!!
In March 2004, Filip Dewinter held in a meeting organized by the Antwerp VB chapter a passionate plea for the State of Israel, saying that "Israel is the vanguard of the West in a feudal Middle East". Among those present was Avi Lipkin, a jewish author and former spokesman for the Israeli Army. Dewinter's speech was so eloquent and convincing, highlighting Israels brave struggle and its prodigious accomplishments, that after the speech Mr. Lipkin HEARTILY EMBRACED FILIP DEWINTER!!!
CHARLES JOHNSON, DOES THIS GUY SOUND LIKE YOUR TYPICAL NEO-NAZI TO YOU??????
Please, let someone tell Mr. Johnson that he is wrong with his misgivings. I emailed him, but I fear he didn't notice. I'm not "pulling", I do not do this for attention. I am just a very concerned citizen - I am not telling you one hundredth of what happens here - and I fear for the future of my children in an islamized Europe.
I DO NOT WANT MY CHILDREN TO LIVE IN AN ISLAMIZED EUROPE. IN BELGIUM, THE VLAAMS BELANG IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE TO SAFEGUARD OUR LIBERTIES AND STAND UP FOR OUR VALUES. IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL THAT LGF AND JOHNSON, OF ALL PEOPLE, SHOULD COME TO DENOUNCE US. WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER. WE CANNOT AFFORD DIVISION.
Better late than never. Last Thursday and Friday, October 18 and 19, more than 70 organizations and personalities gathered in both the European Parliament and the Flemish Parliament to signal the start of a European network to resist the increasing Islamization of most European countries. Actually, I was amazed that such meetings could be held in the EP and the Flemish Parliament altogether, given the still overwhelming footprint of politically correct politicians in both Halls of Power. I strongly suspect that Vlaams Belang parliamentarians from both the EP and the FP somehow managed to have the tribunes available for what turned out to be an impressive cast. Indeed, speakers included Bat Ye’or, author of Eurabia and Dhimmitude and 
The Armenian Genocide did not fall out of the sky. At the outbreak of World War I the Ottoman Empire was not really the backward sultanate anymore as it was commonly perceived in the rest of the world. Indeed, in 1908-1909 a group of young officers like 
Not so the Turks. In Turkey, a brave man like the author Orhan Pamuk, was prosecuted for "insulting Turkishness" (articles 301 and 305 of the Turkish penal code), not even because of "controversial" books, but for merely stating the obvious. There, a gallant Armenian journalist, Hrant Dink, who even harbored strong patriotic feelings for the country which had nearly wiped out his ancestors, was murdered for having the audacity to write about the genocide in his newspaper Agos. There, the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism prepared a DVD denying the genocide and 
For six months I was closely involved with the reconstruction effort in Uruzgan. I have, of course, followed the many reports and opinions in Dutch media about the situation there. Having worked myself in Uruzgan till last September, I am sorry to say I recognize very little therein [from the real situation].
Although I would lie. The books left out the remark about the Belgians being bravest because they were the furthest away from civilization. Anyway, by defeating the Belgic tribes one by one, including the one I strongly suspect I am a descendant from (the Nervii), Caesar finally established Roman rule over what is present day Belgium and a considerable slice of northern France as well as one of the Rhineland. One of the last bitter pills to swallow for Caesar was 
Tongeren may lay inside Flanders, but only just inside it. Wallonia lies barely a couple of kilometers to the south. There is a reason for that, you know. The Romans constructed a very important 
By the late 4th century, he had reunited much of Gaul north of the Loire river. As time went by, the Merovingian kings became weak and decadent, earning themselves the scornful soubriquet do-nothing kings, and in 751 the last one was deposed by his majordomus, 
In 800 the great Charlemagne was crowned Emperor in Rome by Pope Leo III, and his empire encompassed all of present-day France and the Low Countries, half of present-day Germany and and the whole of what is now northern Italy. Barely 43 years later, this gigantic Empire was broken up in three among Charlemagne's grandsons. The western part - mostly the better part of contemporary France - went to Charles the Bald, the eastern part - half of today's Germany - to Louis The German, and the central part - what would become the Netherlands, the Franco-German border region and northern Italy - to Lothar. The empire of Charles The Bald, who was the youngest of the three brothers, suffered most from Viking raiders, and one of the most prone areas was the so-called Pagus Flandrensis or Flanders Shire, the northernmost region around a settlement which would later be called Brugge - Bruges. The forestier, or Charles' deputy ruler in the pagus flandrensis, was a certain Odokar III, and he had a son named Baldwin (Boudewijn in Flemish). In December 861 Baldwin had the audacity to run off with the emperor's daughter, Judith. To escape Charles's wrath, the couple first fled to Lotharingia and from there to Rome, to seek protection from Pope Nicolas I. The pope must have been a liberal since he endorsed the relationship of the two frolicking youngsters, and he persuaded Charles The Bald to give the couple his blessing. Thus happened, and Baldwin and Judith officially married the year after. Baldwin was given the pagus flandrensis as a wedding gift and became the very first Count of Flanders, eventually to be nicknamed 
The 10th century saw the gradual demise of the Carolingian empires, and thus of centralized control. While in France and England, Europes oldest nation states, a monarchy retained some semblance of "national" rule, the real power in this period rested with some sort of subnational level, the counties and duchys. The basic tenet of societal structure was feudalism, whereby the king or the most powerful lords granted vassals possession of land in exchange for their fealty - support in times of war, from the Latin fidelitas. The land was called a fief, and the people on it were allowed to make a living off the fief's harvest and its natural produce in exchange for protection. During this period, around the milennium, local vassals managed to become extremely powerful in their own right, sometimes by conquering adjacent fiefs, sometimes by marriage. In fact, some became so powerful that they became a challenge to the King, and this is about what happened in proto-Belgium, where the 11th century saw the rise of powerful counties such as Flanders, Brabant, Loon, Namur and Hainaut. Somewhat apart from them, but not less important, was the 
By and large, the "Wallonian" counties (the very name of Wallonia does in fact not emerge until the 19th century) tried to get away from French and German influence (tutelage at best, armed incursions at worst) by going the soft way. Not in the north though, where armed conflict halted foreign influence and/or safeguarded the survival of Flemish language and culture. Actually, the case can be made that the fact that nowadays Flemish is spoken in an arc stretching from the North Sea to the Meuse river, is the result of two resounding military victories over powerful neighbors. To the east, the victory of 
At first France's invasion succeeded, and by 1300 the County of Flanders was under firm French Control and the Count, Guy of Dampierre, and his two sons, were imprisoned. In his place the French King appointed a landlord, 
OK, so what happened? On September 11, 2007, the 
Europe had to wait a long time for it, but apparently we are reaching a point whereby sufficient indigenous Europeans are saying "Enough is enough". And so it was that three apolitical European organizations, concerned about the growing influence of Islam, decided to bundle their forces and hold a peaceful demonstration against the Islamization of Europe in Brussels. The event was scheduled for the 11th of September, the West's most symbolic date in its conflict with political islam, and indeed SIOE planned to hold a 1-minute silence to commemmorate the victims of 9/11. SIOE groups the UK's 
It is a common phenomenon in all European areas that where socialists are losing indigenous votes, they start catering to the audiences they see as the next most important vote reservoir: immigrants, and in Europe that means mostly islamic immigrants. The prime constituency among these are not the first generation workers who came here searching for jobs, but rather the second and third generations, marred by high unemployment and characterized by their growing radicalization (third generationers are often far more religious than their predecessors). For over two decades now these people have been told by socialist politicians that the reason they live in squalor is not their own culture, but (western) society and racism from indigenous locals. This story fell not on deaf ears in a community which is notorious for its lack of self-criticism and love for conspiracy theories. In short, this is how socialism and islam found each other, and it shows. Brussels is the Belgian city with the largest number of islamic immigrants, and not surprisingly the PS is Brussels largest party. In the City Council, it holds 17 of the 47 seats. Of those 17, 10 are Muslims. The PS's coalition partner are the Christian-Democrats, with 11 councillors, of whom 2 are Muslims. Taking apart the non-islamic immigrants, then less than half of the City of Brussels' governing coalition, 13 out of 28 councillors, are native Belgians - among them Thielemans. And it is not so hard to imagine 
Thielemans' refusal to grant permission for SIOE's demonstration is but one illustration of how, throughout Europe, socialism and islam have gotten in bed with each other. All over Europe, prominent socialists take care not to "offend" their newfound constituency, muslims. Take Amsterdam, for example, where recently the Jewish (!) mayor, Job Cohen, of the Dutch socialist party PvdA, 
In Paris, the openly gay Socialist Mayor Bertrand Delanoe does his utmost best to please the followers of the prophet, just like his Dutch and British counterparts. 
Over to Berlin, where the end of this year will probably see the completion of the new Ahmadiyya Mosque in Pankow, a neighborhood in the former East Berlin. Berlin's mayor is a jolly good fellow by the name of Klaus Wowereit, openly gay and like so many socialists (he's a prominent member of the SPD) a pork barrel spender, see this TIME article: 
This list would not be complete without Philippe Moureaux, the mayor of Molenbeek, one of the 19 communes of Greater Brussels. Moureaux is one of the top Parti Socialiste officials in the whole of Brussels, and Molenbeek is
