Riots in Utrecht, the Netherlands

Ondiep rioter jailed for 10 weeks

Thursday 22 March 2007

A magistrate in Utrecht has sentenced a 40-year-old man to 10 weeks in jail for his role in the riots in the Ondiep neighbourhood last week. The magistrate said there was proof the man had thrown a stone at police during the disturbances.

Three others, described as 'sensation seekers' by the magistrate, were given community service and one man was fined €250. The magistrate said he had taken a tough approach to sentencing because people who throw a single stone during a riot are contributing to that riot, ANP reported.

Eight other people still have to appear in court in connection with the disturbances. One of them is charged with driving a car at a group of police officers.

The Ondiep riots broke out after a local man was shot dead by police. The circumstances surrounding the shooting are still being investigated.

In any case, more and more bloodshed can be expected.

It really is a shame.

Thanks for what is, for the most part, an excellent presentation.

Any of your sources considered Far Left (by others, if not you)?

Nope. Expatica news is a service by/for expats. Dutchnews.nl is, well, what it says - just your regular MOR Dutch news site. DPA is the German Press Agency. The Irish Examiner I dont know much about, but it looks and feels like a regular standard newspaper website. Pretty much all their accounts were similar, too. The only account that differed drastically, both in tenor and in assertions that I could not verify anywhere else, was the Brussels Journal - which represents more or less your take on things.

Well, Brussel Journal started the rumour that the policeman who shot that man was of Maroccan origin, and the British National Party reported that those youth had abusesed a pregnant white Dutch girl (plus the Maroccan ethic policeman) l ...

All proved to be nonsense

Many have already written off Western Europe as lost to Islam. I would be lying if I said that I didn't entertain the same thoughts sometimes, but I do see encouraging signs of a real shift of public opinion beneath the surface. Judging from information such as the extremely high number of Germans hostile to Islam, Europe can be saved. But this hope hinges on the complete destruction of the European Union. The EU must die or or Europe will die. It's that simple.

Bat Ye'or in her book Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis is right in pointing out that ordinary Europeans have never voted for this merger with the Islamic world through massive Muslim immigration and Multiculturalism. This is closely tied to the rise of the European Union, which has transferred power away from the people and the democratic process to behind-the-scenes deals made by corrupt, Eurabian officials and bureaucrats.
