MUSLIM MOBS BEATING & KILLING EUROS WITH IMPUNITY

Today, some 80,000 people participated in a silent march in Brussels to commemorate 17 year old Joe Van Holsbeeck, who was knifed on 12 April because he refused to hand over his MP3 player to two North African youths. The murder happened during the evening rush hour in a crowded Brussels central station. The murderers were


filmed by security cameras, but it took a full week before the authorities released the footage. The assassins are still at large.

This BBC report about the march, which was the largest protest in the country since 1996 when 300,000 marched through Brussels in anger over the murdering of children, does not mention the ethnicity of the assassins, though many Belgians are worried about the extremely violent mentality of North African youth gangs. [update 24 April, 7:30am GMT: the BBC has added a few final paragraphs mentioning "racial tension"] In fact, the initiative for the march came from Fouad Ahidar, a Moroccan-born Flemish member of the Brussels regional parliament, who said last week that many immigrants are equally worried about violent Moroccan youth gangs.

Ahidar, a father of five, already called for a protest march on 15 April, saying that if the victims had been immigrants and not Belgians, "or even if an immigrant just gets a few kicks from police officers, half of Brussels would be on the streets in solidarity with the victim." According to the Moroccan-born MP, anti-Belgian racism is rife among Muslim street gangs. "This murder stinks of racism," he said. "There is a growing group of criminal Moroccan and Turkish youths who go after victims who look like infidels. We have to fight racism in all its varieties, whether by the immigrants or the native community." What Ahidar says is common knowledge but only he may say so. If a native Belgian makes such comments he or she risks being taken to court for racism by the authorities' racism watchdog CEOOR, an instrument used by the government parties to silence political opponents.

In response to Ahidar's appeal many immigrant organisations had called on their members to participate in the protest. Because the BBC report does not mention the ethnicity of the murderers it also has to omit the presence of immigrants in the protest. "There are many Muslims here," imam Nordine Taouil told Flemish radio and television today. He stressed that many imams had called upon the faithful to be present. "We are here to show that we oppose violence."

The word now, via Brussels Journal and france-echos.com is that the boys were NOT North African (which is not to say there isn't a huge North African gang problem) but in fact they were....wait for it....Polish. However as france-echos.com here, nationality these days is relative. When you see the pictures of the men who did the beating, you will find a striking resemblence to the profile of a dusky-skinned North African or other Arab race. That's not racism, it's what I see. And tell me again? What race is Muslim?

UPDATE: According to france-echoes.com, the lads above who murdered the 17 yr. old Belgian for his MP3 player were Polish....MUSLIMS:

So what everyone suspected all along WAS true. The coldblooded visciousness of the crime which led us in typical p.c. fashion to ask if they were 'North Africans' led to a lot of misunderstanding when what we really wanted to know was were they MUSLIM. And there WERE!

'Religion of Peace', indeed!

Murderers are Gypsies (Cyganie, Ziganes). The are NOT Poles nor Muslims!!! Gypsies are famous of cheating and stealing :(. Many Poles suffered of Gypsies' behaviour and now they killed Belgian teenager, and all think they were polish.
Gypsies living in Poland are NOT Poles (even having Polish citizenship), because they simply dont't want to be Poles!!! They don't integrate with Polish comunity, they don't learn and study - they prefere live of theft. My family and I have seen like Poles suffered of Gypsies' behaviour. Gypsies's women born children in the age of 12, don't study, barely can read and write!!!! They obviously are not able to get ANY job, so they exploite our social system (very weak, Poland is poor state) and live mostly of crimes.
In Poland there are many people of not-polish origin (including my favourite neighbour :) ), but they ARE Poles. Gypsies are something else.

I say again: Gypsies are NOT Muslim NOR Poles, so don't blame Muslims or Poles for that murder of poore Joe in Brussels, please!!!!

Kind Regards,
native Pole

We'll reserve judgment on their being Muslim till we hear more.
