While Christians in Greece simply wanted to celebrate the holidays the communist sponsored “anarchists” have been targeting public Christmas trees for vandalism.:

Why should Greeks be allowed to have a public celebration when unemployed hoodlums have so much fear and mayhem to spread? Have fun in the dark ages Europe.
This day will be remembered in history as the day Europe abandoned thousands of years of Western Civilization and truly became Eurabia. The European Parliament, an extra national governmental organization that answers to no one, has just banned the showing of the movie Fitna in all European countries. This ruling effectively dictates to every European country what sort of political, philosophical and religious speech its citizens may and may not engage in. Specifically, it bans criticism of Islam.
Via Gateway Pundit here’s the report from Radio Netherlands (which is down at the moment)
The European Parliament has banned the screening on its premises of the anti-Islam movie Fitna. The maker of the film, Dutch right-wing MP and Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders, reacted angrily, saying it was a sad day for democracy.
In a joint move, leaders of various blocs in the European Parliament reinforced their earlier decision, taken in March, that they wouldn’t allow the movie to be shown, arguing that it incites hatred…
Jihad Watch posted this statement from the U.K. Independence Party:
SHOWING OF THE FILM FITNA BANNED BY ORDER OF THE CONFERENCE OF PRESIDENTS
It is with great regret that I have to announce the cancellation of the showing of the film Fitna at the meeting with Mr Geert Wilders MP today at 2pm.
I was informed of this decision today.
Nevertheless a press conference will take place at 2pm in room R 3.1 with Mr Wilders and myself.
The banning of this film is a direct attack on free speech. A parliament that constantly talks of freedom, democracy and tolerance has shown once again that these are empty words when it does not agree with what is being said.
On the same day that the European Parliament awards the Sakharov Prize to the Chinese freedom campaigner Hu Jia the Conference of Presidents deny free speech to one of its own members.
The press conference is open to MEPs and their assistants as well as accredited members of the press.
Anyone who wishes to view Fitna before the meeting can do so by going to

Yours sincerely,

Meanwhile Gates of Vienna points out that in Norway anti-Semitism is common place in many mainstream publications. The E.U. has done nothing to stem the tide of European Jew hatred. The ruling elite of Europe, insulated by their wealth and walls, are throwing their citizens to the Mohammedan wolves. They are of course starting with the Jews.
The values of The Enlightenment (the product of thousands of years of Western Civilization) cannot be negotiable and must not be undone. The Islamists have radically changed the culture of Europe assisted by the anti-Western Marxists who gleefully assist the barbarian hordes dismantling the the very ideas of individual liberty, freedom of thought and rational debate. The European parliament has declared where their allegiances lie, and now it is time for those of us who still believe in a free West to stop the march of Islamic Imperialism now before it’s too late if it isn’t already.

From Fox:
A gang of masked protesters attacked the Greek riot police headquarters Tuesday amid reports that rioters are using lasers to combat police officers.
Authorities trying to contain the gangs of rioters were hit with blinding flashes of green light as the violence in Greece entered a second week, the U.K.’s Daily Mail newspaper reported.
The riot police headquarters in Athens was damaged, but no officers were injured.
Police say a group of 30 youths threw petrol bombs and stones at the building, damaging police vehicles parked outside. The central Athens building is also used by traffic police.
Though laser pointers like the ones probably being used on the riot police are unlikely to cause permanent eye damage in short exposures they do cause flash blindness when encountered at night. The pointers are a sinisterly effective tactic to reduce the efficiency of police which will no doubt be encountered in America as the anarchists and leftists organizing these riots in Greece share the knowledge they have gained from the attacks via the web.
Greece has long tolerated a violent Anarchist movement to fester within its borders. The end result of that is a criminal enterprise large enough to make it impossible for authorities there to maintain basic law and order for all. Two Greek police officers were attacked by a mob of Anarchists and were forced to defend themselves, leading to the death of a teen Anarchist. Greece is now, in the face of a massive wave of violence, bowing to the Anarchists’ demands of punishing the cops in a clear display of impotence that will further embolden violence against police officers:
ATHENS, Greece (AP) – The fatal police shooting of a teenager has set off Greece’s worst rioting in years, with hooded youths rampaging through Athens and the northern city of Thessaloniki over the weekend.
Gangs smashed stores, torched cars and erected burning barricades in the streets of the Greek capital and the country’s second largest city in a dramatic eruption of a long-tolerated self-styled anarchist movement.
Rioting began in several cities within hours of the death of a 15-year-old who was shot Saturday night in Exarchia, a downtown Athens district of bars, music clubs and restaurants that is seen as the anarchists’ home base. Soon dozens of stores, banks and cars were ablaze. Police said 24 policemen were injured, and one remained in hospital on Sunday morning.
[…]
Police said the two officers involved claimed they were attacked by a group of youths, and that three gunshots and a stun grenade were fired in response.
The two officers have been suspended, arrested and charged, one with premeditated manslaughter and the illegal use of a weapon, and the other as an accomplice. They are to appear before a court Wednesday. The Exarchia precinct police chief has been suspended.
A blurry video shot by a bystander from a nearby balcony that purportedly shows the incident has been shown on local television and posted on the Internet. Two sounds that could be gunshots can be heard, but the image is too blurry and distant to show the sequence of events clearly.
Pavlopoulos and Deputy Interior Minister Panagiotis Chinofotis submitted their resignations after Saturday’s rioting, but they were not accepted by the prime minister.
The violence died down Sunday morning, only to begin again as afternoon demonstrations in Athens and Thessaloniki to protest the boy’s death degenerated into running battles between Molotov cocktail-throwing youths and riot police firing tear gas.
In Thessaloniki, protesters attacked City Hall, two police precincts, several shops and a bank, as well Greek television channel vehicles.
Dozens of stores in central Athens went up in flames or saw their storefronts smashed. At least two buildings were destroyed by fire, as was a Ford car dealership. Streets were littered with jagged chunks of paving stones and rocks thrown at riot police, as well as shattered glass from storefronts and banks.
The rioters’ own behavior should prove that it is likely the two police officers were telling the truth. That the government cannot keep order, and that they bow to the will of those who they should be fighting tooth and nail, shows that Greece has relinquished its right to exist to an army of people who will continue to drag the state into a dark age.
The police of Greece should quit their jobs and flee to another country before the Anarchists come to power and purge them. Any decent person living there should make their way to America where if someone tries burns your home you’re allowed to kill them (except in New York and Los Angeles) and where we still hold out hope of having a civil society in the future.
Update: Bloomberg reports riots are still ongoing, Z.A.C. explains why the Reds in charge of Greece are siding with the rioters and how this is connected to Pakistani terrorism.

The end result of their financial meltdown, and perhaps a look into our future. The riot wasn’t over the meltdown per se but over the arrest of a violent protester. After the RNC violence do we think this is unimaginable here?
