This is from the Brussels city council’s website on “Taking Part in Public Life“:

All too often, you hear people complaining that this is wrong and that is wrong, and that ‘they’ are not doing the things they should for us. ‘They’ are the politicians, heads of associations, all those who should be working for us…

That’s a rhetorical question in Europe’s Muslim-controlled capital. To commemorate September 11th, people from around Europe had planned to do something about the things they weren’t happy with – in this case, it was to demonstrate against the Islamization of Europe.

From the Brussels Journal:

Here are some video images. The grey-haired man whom we see being attacked by the police first is Luk Van Nieuwenhuysen, the Vice-President of the Flemish Parliament. Shortly afterwards we see the police maltreating Frank Vanhecke, a member of the European Parliament and the party leader of the Vlaams Belang. We see how he is handcuffed and pushed into a police bus. Afterwards we also see the police “taking care” of Filip Dewinter, the VB group leader in the Flemish Parliament. We see how his arm gets caught between the closing doors of the bus. An Italian MEP and a French MEP were also arrested. The demonstrators were kept in cells for seven hours and released this evening.
