This is another example of why Islamic immigration gone wild. The Muslims, reportedly possibly illegal,  were upset the Greek Police might have destroyed a Koran.

Greek riot police clash with Muslims over Koran mutilation


Athens – Hundreds of Muslims clashed with riot police in central Athens on Friday, who retaliated by spraying tear gas into the crowd – who were protesting over the alleged mutilation of a copy of the Koran by police.

Roughly 1,500 immigrants, many from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Syria marched towards the interior ministry and parliament in central Athens, clashing with riot police by throwing rocks and sticks.


The Greek police did right and stood firm. This is an attempt by Muslims to take over that part of Athens. The Greeks having vivid memories of the Brutal Barbaric Turks know not to give ground. These people should not there in the first place.

To those that makes excuses for Muslims and say this group is different than that one, look at this incident/ Muslims of different nationalities united and fought together. They will unite under their Movement which is Arabic lead.

This is the funniest part of the article:

Muslims, many who cross into the country illegally in an attempt to seek a better life, have complained of police brutality and poor treatment by officials in the past.

Maybe these Muslims should get the hint: The Greeks don’t want them there.  I don’t blame the Greeks.
