September 11 - Anti jihad protest supressed.

From Jihad Watch

Meanwhile, jihadists in Belgium, the rest of Europe, and elsewhere continue to plot the overthrow -- whether by violence or legal coercion -- of secular, democratic systems. And police are sent out in force instead to stop people on the dreaded "far right" from saying something authorities find unpleasant.

"Police arrest 2 far-right Belgian leaders at anti-Islam 9/11 protest," from the International Herald Tribune:

BRUSSELS, Belgium: Police arrested two leaders of a Belgian far-right party Tuesday for staging an illegal protest against the "Islamization of Europe," six years to the day after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.

Police scuffled with some of the 200 people who converged on two squares in the EU district of Brussels to protest against what they perceived as the rise of Islam as a significant political force across Europe. Officers handcuffed two leaders of the far-right Flemish Interest Party, which is very critical of Muslim immigrants, and took them away in police vans.

Protesters sought to use the Sept. 11 anniversary to point out that Islam threatens democracy and the rule of law in Europe.

The demonstration was initially planned by Stop Islamization of Europe, a loose alliance with roots in Germany, Britain and Denmark, which had predicted that 20,000 people would come to Brussels from all over Europe.

Brussels Mayor Freddy Thielemans banned the protest last month, calling SIOE an inflammatory group and its proposed demonstration a threat to public order. An appeals court upheld the ban Aug. 29.

Only 200 or so protesters showed up Tuesday for a protest lasting only 30 minutes. The demonstrators faced more than 100 police, backed up by water cannons and helicopters, who closed off streets around the EU headquarters.

Are they more afraid of the protest, or that certain offended members of the populace might use it as a pretext to stage an attack?

"We support the goals of the demonstration to protest against the lack of freedom of expression in this country," said Frank Vanhecke, the head of the Flemish Interest Party, before he was bundled off to the police station. "And we also we fully agree that the rise of Islam in Europe poses a risk to our values."

**A day of shame for Europe, soon to be named Eurabia. More over at A Tangled Web and some more on this can be found at Gates of Vienna
From Gates of Vienna: The Brussels Journal sends a link to this video (Windows Movie format) of today’s demonstration in Schuman Square. It’s on Vlaams Belang’s own site, so maybe it will stay up for a while — unless the Belgian authorities have a way of interdicting it.

Aljazeera reports:

• Freddy Thielemans, the mayor of Brussels, banned the rally last month, calling the organisers, Stop Islamisation of Europe, an inflammatory group and the demonstration a threat to public order.
• Thielmans said police made 154 "administrative arrests".
• "I'm shocked. I thought we lived in a democratic country," Anders Gravers, one of the members of SIOE – a loose alliance that has origins in the UK, Denmark and Germany, said.

Among those at the receiving end of this state-sponsored thuggery are the vice-president of the Flemish parliament, and two of the leaders of the Belgian Vlaams Belang party. Australia's ABC News reports that there were a total of 154 arrests.

**Oh fifty quid, hell call it a hundred(or whatever that is in Eurabian Euro's) that these same authorities would have dared to clamp down that way on a moslem demo about cartoons or what ever happens to have got the ummas collective panties in a bunch that day.
