Why are these riots, in the capital of the EU, not getting any coverage? When it is reported, why only say "of North African descent"? Can't Reuters or AP at least fake a photo? And this should be of great concern:
The authorities are especially nervous since the Belgian municipal elections are being held on Sunday October 8th. It is likely that the elections will be won by anti-immigrant, “islamophobic” parties. Since ramadan will not be over on October 8th and many immigrants might perceive a victory of the indigenous right (as opposed to their own far-right) as an insult, Muslim indignation over the election results in major cities may spark serious disturbances. According to a poll published today the Vlaams Belang party is set to win 38.6% of the vote in Antwerp (compared to 33.0% in the previous municipal elections six years ago).
Sharia is coming, unless the Europeans grow a spine.
LGF has more.

Wow - reading more about that party, it is amazing anyone in Europe can say anything bad at all about the US electoral process! A party that can get 33% of the vote is disbanded in a trial coordinated by the rival party!
Of course, that party does sound scary - but it also sounds like the only party interested in protecting anyone from armed over-exuberant youths of unknown nationality that happen to observe Ramadan...

If the Muslims object, obviously elections must be banned, lest they be offended by the results.

Maybe sharia is just the thing to get those EuroDorks to wake up.
Of course, we'll just have to rescue them - again - but maybe we should wait a few years first. ;-)

The answer to that one should be obvious. No, they have the utmost of journalistic integrity and would NEVER stoop to doctoring a photo.

What they need to grow is lower, not as segmented and more spherical in nature.
