Migran Tionghoa jarang bikin keributan begini di negeri yang
didatangnya...
Tapi orang Islam mah suka bikin onar di negeri yang didatanginya.

Anti-police riots ease in Sweden

violent clashes with police [AFP]
An uneasy calm has settled over the southern Swedish city of Malmo
after hundreds of Muslim youths rioted against police for two
consecutive nights.
Gangs of youths gathered again late on Friday in the Rosengard
district of Malmo, but no serious clashes have taken place as yet.
Protests spilled over into violence on Wednesday after the owner of a
building in Rosengard housing an Islamic cultural centre and a mosque
chose to use the space for other purposes.
Centre workers moved out peacefully and handed over the keys, but a
group of youths decided to camp in the basement.
Police officers were told to remove them, sparking protests and
violent clashes.
Garbage bins burnt
While Friday evening has been generally calm, demonstrators set off
firecrackers and five cars and several large garbage bins were set on
fire, police said.
"They [the rioters] have to stop, they have to take it easy. We can't
resolve the problems with violence"

Five people have been arrested.
A firebomb was also thrown at a school window in Rosengaard, starting
a blaze that police rapidly brought under control.
Much of the rioting was concentrated in Rosengard district - which has
a large immigrant population.
Community leaders have appealed for calm, with Montaser Eneim, from
Rosengard City District Council telling Al Jazeera: "They [the
rioters] have to stop, they have to take it easy. We can't resolve the
problems with violence."
'Unpredictable anger'
Richard Bestic, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Malmo, reported that an
"unpredictable anger" was still evident among youths who had gathered
again, so far peacefully, on Friday night.
The police "think they can appease us by joking with us, but they
hassle us all the time, they arrest us for nothing and then they're
surprised that we fight back", said Ahmed Baccar, a 20-year-old
unemployed Palestinian.
His friend Rached El Ali, an 18-year-old Palestinian, said: "And they
hit 11- and 12-year-old kids, set their dogs on us like they did
yesterday, and then you want us to like them."
Police reinforcements had been called in from Stockholm, the capital,
and Gothenburg to quell the unrest.
Immigrants make up around 14% of the Swedish population but, as
suggested by a number of official studies, many face discrimination in
housing and employment.
