Third Night of Ramadan Rioting in Capital of Europe | The Brussels Journal

It looks as if immigrants youths want to turn nightly rioting during the Islamic holy month of ramadan into an annual tradition. Around 8:30pm last night violence erupted again in Brussels, the capital of Europe. The riots centered on the Brussels Marollen quarter and the area near the Midi Train Station, where the international trains from London and Paris arrive. Youths threw stones at passing people and cars, windows of parked cars were smashed, bus shelters were demolished, cars were set ablaze, a youth club was arsoned and a shop was looted. Two molotov cocktails were thrown into St.Peter’s hospital, one of the main hospitals of central Brussels. The fire brigade was able to extinguish the fires at the hospital, but youths managed to steal the keys of the fire engine.

So far of course it is nothing like what happened last year, still this is a disturbing event.  I continue to feel that the European Muslim problem is most fundamentally a problem with Europe, and only secondly a problem with Muslim extremists inciting violence.

Europe needs to start treating Muslims as equals, both in accepting them as part of their societies and also in expecting them to live up to the same standards as everyone else.  Their is a fundamental injustice in how Muslims are failing to be integrated into Europe, and unless this changes the problems with Muslims will continue to grow.

Given that Muslims in Europe have already greatly hurt America, it is our problem as well, and one that we should not ignore.
