Dispatch from the Eurabian Front: Riots in Amsterdam and Brussels

Europe's no-go zones or SUAs ("sensitive urban
<http://i.ville.gouv.fr/divbib/doc/chercherZUS.htm> areas") are multiplying.
These are areas where the police no longer dares to venture and where
Islamists hold sway. Every night since the beginning of last week, immigrant
youths have been torching cars and clashing with police in Amsterdam's
Slotervaart district. The incidents started on Oct. 14 when a
<http://kleinverzet.blogspot.com/2007/10/suicide-attack-in-amsterdam.html>
policewoman shot dead Bilal Bajaka, a 22-year old ethnic Moroccan, whilst he
was stabbing her and a colleague with a knife. The officers were stabbed in
the breast, face, neck and back. Surgeons could only narrowly save their
lives.
Since the incident, Slotervaart has seen rioting almost every night. The
Amsterdam Moroccans are "shocked" because one of them has been killed by an
infidel woman. According to his family, Bilal Bajaka was mentally deranged
and had a suicide obsession. Ahmed Marcouch, the Moroccan-born Socialist
mayor of Slotervaart, criticized the Dutch authorities for failing to
provide adequate health care for Bajaka's mental problems.
Bilal Bajaka was, however, a personal friend of Mohammed Bouyeri, the
Jihadist who ritually slaughtered the Dutch film maker Theo van Gogh in
2004. Bilal's attack on the two police officers came exactly two years after
the arrest of his brother, Abdullah Bajaka, the leader of an alleged plot to
blow up an El-Al Boeing at Amsterdam airport. Bilal's family background is
not at all deprived. One of his sisters is a medical doctor, another sister
is a Dutch judge.
For ten days now, the situation in Amsterdam's immigrant neighbourhoods has
been tense. Senior police officers compare the current situation in
Amsterdam to the 2005 Ramadan riots in Paris. Media outside the Netherlands,
however, hardly mention the riots, which aim to drive the police from
Slotervaart and turn the neighborhood into a new no-go area - yet another
pocket of Eurabia on Europe's soil.
Similar events are currently taking place in
<http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/2584/node/2582> Brussels, the capital
of neighbouring Belgium and of the EU. Last Sunday, demonstrating Turkish
youths ransacked an Armenian restaurant in the Sint-Joost-ten-Node borough.
According to the owner the police was present at the scene but did not
interfere while his establishment was being demolished. The Armenian had to
flee for his life.
Another man who had to run for his life was the Belgian journalist Mehmet
Koksal, an ethnic Turk. He was attacked around 11 pm on Sunday evening by a
group of some twenty Turkish youths in front of the American embassy in
Brussels, a few yards from the Belgian parliament building. The Parliament
and the US Embassy are less than one kilometer from Sint-Joost-ten-Node.
Koksal fled to a nearby police car, but a female police officer refused to
let him into the car, whereupon the youths savagely beat him up. Fearing
that they were about to lynch him, the police officer changed her attitude
and allowed the journalist to seek refuge in the police car.
Koksal told the press today that he is not going to press charges against
the police for failing to help him. "The police woman was more afraid than I
was and ultimately the police came to my rescue," he said.
