| Denmark Moslem youth riots ignored while Paris is burning |
| 2005-11-05 |
| Is there a connection between the Moslem-led youth riots in France, and the ones taking place at the same time in Denmark? The week of riots in poor neighbourhoods outside Paris, which has spread to 20 towns, has been well covered by the international media. Not so for à rhus, Denmark. âNothing of it has penetrated to the English-language sections of Danish media,â laments the Viking Observer. The Observer took the trouble to translate into English the following from Danish Jyllands-Posten: translation follows: Rosenhoj Mall has several nights in a row been the scene of the worst riots in à rhus for years. âThis area belongs to us,â the youths proclaim. Sunday evening saw a new arson attack. Their words sound like a clear declaration of war on the Danish society. Police must stay out. The area belongs to immigrants. Four youths sit on a wall in Rosenhoj Mall Sunday afternoon, calling themselves spokesmen for the groups, that three nights in a row have ravaged and tried to burn down the restaurant and other stores. Around the parking lot, cars with youngsters from the immigrant community are swarming, and many are walking around, greeting each other with a sense of victory after the worst riots in à rhus for years. Every night 30-40 youths took part, especially immigrants. Only two were arrested, âThat was a victory.â From the 1990s, groups and organizations formed by extremist Moslems, which present a serious threat to the Danish Jewish Community, have been active in Denmark. French authorities have said that the riots [in France] are not spontaneous but well organized. Threats issued by youth rioters in Denmark that âThis area belongs to us,â seem to indicate the same thing. Meanwhile, the whole world may be aware that Paris is burning, but few are aware of the nightly youth riots in à rhus, Denmark. |

| #5 At this point, I'm not calling them riots. I'm calling them an urban insurgency, because they meet all the standard criteria: destruction of symbols and locations of authority, intent to take and hold local areas of control, demands that focus on the removal of central authority and law enforcement in the area, terror turned on the locals to assert their own control (the handicapped woman who was burned yesterday is a good example, so is the father who said his 14 yr old boy drew a knife on him recently ....). |

| #4 IMHO - if there's not already active coordination between these riots in different countries, there soon will be. The opportunity's too ripe for a muslim Lenin to step fwd. Time for Europe to clean house WITHOUT US troops. If this is not what NATO was for, after the USSR, then fold the tent |
