DISPATCH FROM THE EURABIAN FRONT: RIOTS IN AMSTERDAM AND BRUSSELS

Europe's no-go zones or SUAs ("sensitive urban 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 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 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.
