Denmark: Muslims Riot in Arhus
The media has finally acknowledged the fact that most of the rioters in Clichy-Sous-Bois are Muslim. In France, the violence there has spread now to five other suburbs in the Seine-St Denis neighbourhood, though Clichy itself seems more subdued now. Reports on the sixth night of rioting can be found at Yahoo, CBS, Le Figaro (in French), Figaro again, and Le Monde.
But no English-language media has reported on the four nights of rioting by Muslims which were experienced at Arhus in Denmark, where Palestinian and Turkish Muslims joined to have a four-night orgy of violence, with the express message to Danish society that "This is Our Territory", according to the excellent new weblog, Viking-Observer.
"The police has to stay away. This is our area. We decide what goes down here".This appears to be the new burden of Europe. Youths who claim to be alienated deciding to use violence and threats to enforce their wills upon the countries in which they live.And then the bit with the drawings of the prophet Muhammed comes around:
We are tired of what we see happening with our prophet. We are tired of Jyllands-Posten. I know it isnt you, but we wont accept what Jyllands-Posten has done to the prophet", he says aggressively, and the others nod approvingly.
Two of them are Turks, and it is the first time, that Turks and Palestinians act together, the 19-year-old says.
"We have planned this for three weeks. That is why only two were arrested saturday night. The police will cordon off it all. But we know the ways out", he claims, and then disappears, munching on a piece of pizza from Fun Pizza.
The policy may work for them. In Britain after riots of 1981, huge concessions were made to riot-hit areas in several cities. But to appease such actions is akin to appeasing terrorism. It will only convince others that if they too resort to violence and destruction, their "needs" can be addressed.
In Arhus, the message is not even optimistic. It is a statement of secession from the country, an attempt to form a separate enclave, where the law is the law of the neighbourhood, and not the law of the land.
