Police arrest 2 far-right Belgian leaders at anti-Islam 9/11 protest - International Herald Tribune
I must say that none of this is a surprise to me. That has to say something to you, gentle readers.
Europe, it’s time to fight back. I think perhaps a good place to start would be Brussels City Hall. Fat-headed leaders like Freddy Thielemans are selling Europe to the Islamists and acting as if democracy means to protect those that would destroy Freedom.
Viva la revolución!
BRUSSELS, Belgium: Police arrested two leaders of a Belgian far-right party Tuesday for staging an illegal protest against the “Islamization of Europe,” six years to the day after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.
Police scuffled with some of the 200 people who converged on two squares in the EU district of Brussels to protest against what they perceived as the rise of Islam as a significant political force across Europe. Officers handcuffed two leaders of the far-right Flemish Interest Party, which is very critical of Muslim immigrants, and took them away in police vans.
Protesters sought to use the Sept. 11 anniversary to point out that Islam threatens democracy and the rule of law in Europe.
The demonstration was initially planned by Stop Islamization of Europe, a loose alliance with roots in Germany, Britain and Denmark, which had predicted that 20,000 people would come to Brussels from all over Europe.
Brussels Mayor Freddy Thielemans banned the protest last month, calling SIOE an inflammatory group and its proposed demonstration a threat to public order. An appeals court upheld the ban Aug. 29.
Only 200 or so protesters showed up Tuesday for a protest lasting only 30 minutes. The demonstrators faced more than 100 police, backed up by water cannons and helicopters, who closed off streets around the EU headquarters.
“We support the goals of the demonstration to protest against the lack of freedom of expression in this country,” said Frank Vanhecke, the head of the Flemish Interest Party, before he was bundled off to the police station. “And we also we fully agree that the rise of Islam in Europe poses a risk to our values.”

I was optimistic that more people would turn up
I had hoped that this would inspire others in Europe to take up their own cause - existence.
The outcome, the arrests, were sadly no surprise.
It’s political correctness in action! The problem is that it is going to get worst. I wonder if the defunct French Militia group O.A.S is going to regroup and take on the Islamists like they did in Algeria.
