HEAVY RIOTING IN BRUSSELS.

For at least three consecutive nights there has been heavy rioting in the Marollen, an old neighborhood near the Palais de Justice in the centre of Brussels. At this moment, Thursday night, things seem to have calmed down but the incidents show once again that every European community with a fair number of North African, read muslim immigrants, is a potential powderkeg needing very little to go off, see also the May 2006 riots in Montfermeil near Paris. So what happened?

On Sunday 24 September, Fayçal Chaaban, a 25-year old Moroccan inmate of Vorst prison (Vorst, Forest in French, is a suburb of Brussels) died. The reason of his death is now subject to investigation, but it appears that he succumbed to an overdose of sedatives which the prison guards administered to cool him down. It is very difficult to get hard data on what happened, but probably the most interesting take on the story is offered by the Arab European League, the notorious Antwerp-based organization of extremist arab youths founded by (former?) Hizballah terrorist Dyab Abu Jahjah. I will quote some (translated) sentences from their Dutch-spoken chapter. Keep in mind that Chaaban was a criminal with a heavy past, who started a career of theft, armed robbery and physical violence when he was only 13 (thirteen), was convicted for theft in 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005 and had been locked up again last September for - who would have thunk it??? - theft:

Fayçal Chaaban was a good acquaintance of present AEL Belgium Chairman Karim Hassoun... [because of intermarrying between the Hassoun and Chaaban families] more details have come to us...

...Fayçal was fasting beacuse of the start of the yearly Ramadan. The food offered to him at night was totally unadequate. When Fayçal complained about this to the guards a word fight started whereupon the guards suddenly decided to put him in an isolation cell.

When he kept protesting, yelling and offering verbal resistance in the isolation cell, the guards decided to tie him up. His two legs were tied up to one arm, so that the other arm stayed free. Fayçal kept protesting and then it was decided to administer sedatives to make him sleep. After the injection he was still being kept tied up.

When 15 hours later the first dose had had its effect, he woke and started to protest anew, whereupon he was administered without thought a second dose. This second injection proved fatal. Fayçal did not wake up anymore and was found dead in his cell at 2.30am on Monday morning.

And this is what happened when word of Chaabans death filtered out of prison:

On Monday night 25/26 September tens of Moroccan youths (I know, actually they are Belgian youths but since the authorities keep referring to Vlaams Belang voters as SS Einsatzgruppen, shit, why not play the game) ventured out in the Marollen, busted several car and shop windows and set one shop and five cars between the Marollen and the Square Anneessens ablaze. Ten youths were arrested, and released 15 1/2 nanoseconds later. Luckily, the owners of the shop and the cars found tremendous solace in the words of Philippe Close, Cabinet Chief to Brussels Mayor Freddy Thielemans, who hastened to emphasize that there had been no real riots between the youths and the police nor huge gatherings, only isolated incidents. It is possible here that Mr. Close labeled the burning of the shop as antics of bored young people, since the shop in question (Dechamps) did in antiques. Anyway, somewhere in the night of Monday to Tuesday, it was agreed between communal representatives and a delegation of the youths to hold a meeting Tuesday evening to listen to the grievances of the latter.

Dude, BAD LUCK!!!!!! The intended meeting never took place because of - who would have thunk it??? - rio, erm, I mean isolated incidents. Indeed, in the evening of Tuesday, September 26, from 8.30pm on, tens of Moroccan youths ventured out in the Marollen, busted car windows, pleted stones at people passing by and set fire to a youth centre at the Place de la Querelle. When firefighters arrived, they were attacked by the youths who tried to prevent them from extinguishing the fire. In addition, bus stops were shattered and car was set alight. Also, a night shop at the Zuidlaan was looted, although this isolated incident may simply have involved a pious muslim verrrrry hungry after a day's hard fasting. To cut a long story real short, this time 30 youths were arrested, and released after 25 1/3 nanoseconds.

(OK. I made up the nanoseconds last one. Honestly, I don't know if they were released this time.)

Apparently having become smarter, the representatives of the Brussels City Council this time made no rendez-vous to listen to the youth's grievances come Wednesday evening. And goddam right they were, for as far as I know, apart from the usual innocent passers-by stone-pelting, café-burning, carglass-busting, two molotovcocktails have been thrown in the Saint-Peter Hospital, a main hospital in Brussels Centre. I don't know anymore if the firefighters were hampered in their work here too, but the car keys of some fire engines were stolen. 45 youths were arrested, and it appears 31 of them have a criminal past.


So far, so good. There's several striking aspects here. First, the very scant reporting in Belgian MSM on the whole affair. Indeed, it's very tough to get decent and elaborate reporting in Belgoland itself. So much so that I had to gather info at Dutch sites like this one. Could it be that the mainstream Belgian media were kindly requested by the authorities not to shed too much light on the riots lest not more people feel induced to vote for either the Vlaams Belang (in Flanders) or the Front National (in Wallonia). It is a possibility - even without the riots, a poll by newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws found that more than 38% of the vote in Antwerp would go to the VB. Of course, Antwerp is a traditional VB-stronghold, but although the VB results throughout Flanders are expected to be slightly lower, they will proabaly be firmly upward from the previous election. Likewise, in Wallonia too the Front National is expected to make huge inroads in cities hitherto considered the realm of the ruling Parti Socialiste. The powers that be, at least for now, are scared shitless for Election Day, and it might be that their cronies in the media have received instructions not to highlight anything that might induce even more people to vote for VB and FN.

The second aspect worth thinking over is, imho, the reaction of the Moroccan community to the death of a convicted criminal. In unclear circumstances a young thug who has stolen, beaten and vandalized his way through life meets his end. This mere fact leads hundreds of hotheads - no doubt with silent approval from a much larger segment of the Moroccan community - to wreak havoc in the streets of Brussels. Imagine, if you are a male white twenty- or thirtysomething, that you and your friends belong to a white immigrant community in, say, Rabat in Morocco. You were born there from western parents and have lived all your life there, and at some pont in time a number of you wandered off the right track to end up in jail. One of them has a particularly bad record - rape, theft, drugs trafficking, armed robbery etc. One day it transpires that he died in prison. Now do this little thought exercise - would you and your friends venture out in the streets of Rabat and bust cars, set shops alight and even try to set fire to a hospital or a home for the elderly?

Of course you wouldn't.

But, the reverse situation just produced itself in the Capital of Europe, and, mark my words, this is just the beginning.

Among native Belgian youths, or shall I say native western youths, the common reaction to such an incident would by and large be "Good Riddance". That's just how it is. There may be polite recommendation of an investigation as to the exact circumstances of what is indeed a curious death - but other than that, nothing. Yet here one can witness how immigrants youths stand up for a dead thug as if he were a goddam war hero or freedom fighter, and the irony is totally lost when the Hassoun and Chaaban families lament bitterly about their lovely Fayçal not being able to break Ramadan fast at evening with a decent halal meal - imagine, a good-for-nothing criminal who suddenly discovers the virtues of piously confessing his muslim faith.

I don't want this culture in my country. I don't want this culture in my Europe. The topic of this post is the Chaaban case and the ensuing riots, but I could have added ten cars set ablaze in Schaarbeek last Friday, before Chaabans death. Or the "youths" who wounded themselves in Beringen, province of Limburg, when their improvised explosive device went off. Or the striking drivers of bus and tram companies in areas of Brussels, refusing to do their job after colleagues were threatened with a revolver or physically assaulted.

I sincerely hope the VB and FN win big. There may still be time to turn the tide. May. However, if that tide cannot be turned and Europe is lost, it can still be of service to America. As an example of how not to deal with the problems of muslim minorities, which have the potential of turning in majorities faster than you think.
