Default Muslims riot after Ramadan - 43 nicked


According to the GA blog:

Quote:
It has just been reported on Arteinfo channel that there have been several riots in some 'quartiers populaire',(news speak for immigrant enriched areas) of Brussels, between riot police and immigrants since the end of Ramadam.

This does suggest, therefore that they are muslims. No reasons have been given at present as to why these riots began.

Police in the Belgian capital Brussels have arrested 43 people following a second night of civil unrest.

On Thursday, nine police were injured, one seriously, when violence broke out after a 14-year-old was taken into custody in the suburb of Molenbeek.

The area has a large population of North African immigrants and the youth was wanted by the authorities for taunting officers on the beat during Ramadan.

Police came under attack from stones and Molotov cocktails and cars in the area were torched.

The authorities responded with water canon and 100 officers brought the situation under control but tension remains high.

For several days the 14 year old had badgered and taunted the police. At about 7pm Thursday evening agents went to his house at the Vanderstichelenstraat to pick him up. This lead to loud protests by the boy's family.

About twenty people gathered around the agents, throwing stones at the police. The police had to use pepper-spray to keep the spectators at bay and took the boy with them to the station at Briefdragerstraat.

The family soon arrived, accompanied by about sixty people, to protest at the police station. They became wild and a number of youth threw stones at the station, smashing the windows of police cars and the station itself.
