EXCLUSIVE: "Anti-Islam Far-Right Activists" Who Mowed Down Muslim Pedestrian Were Actually (Surprise!) Muslims From Molenbeek

Tweet

Brussels witnessed a number of political demonstrations yesterday. Anti-Islam protesters defied bans on protests while "anti-fascist" (read left-wing fascist) and Muslim counter-demonstrators came out to oppose them. At one point Muslim youths ran through the streets of the heavily Muslim Molenbeek neighborhood, yelling, "let's kill the Nazis!"

In the middle of one of the protests a horrific incident occurred. A white Audi ran a police cordon and then hit an unsuspecting woman crossing the street, throwing her over the hood and running over her legs. The woman, a Muslim who was presumably a resident of the area was severely injured but remained conscious throughout the ordeal.

The tragedy had its surreal side. As the car went through the blockade, a smiling man in the passenger seat took selfies with his phone as police trained their guns on the car. One video even seemed to show the police shooting at the car as it was speeding through. A few seconds later there were gasps and screams from the crowd as the car plowed into the woman.

Here is one video of the incident (yes, that's the song Imagine playing faintly in the background):

WARNING: the next video is quite graphic:

Who were the occupants of the car? Some in the media were quick to explicitly blame the anti-Islam protesters, though there was no evidence that they were part of that group.

Independent: Muslim woman run down by far-right activist during anti-Islamic rally in Brussels 

Others ran headlines that while technically correct, carried a certain implication:

Huffington Post: Muslim Woman Mown Down At Brussels Anti-Islam Rally In Shocking Incident Caught On Video

The men were arrested and Belgian media soon reported that they were both residents of Molenbeek. A few hours ago, their names were released--or at least their partial names:   

Redouane D

Mohamed B

Mohamed was the man taking the selfie.

We're calling this an "exclusive" for English posts, though the Belgian media is obviously up on it. As yet I have seen no retractions or clarifications from other media.

UPDATE (April 3, 9:00 PM CST): English media are continuing to report the story with misleading headlines. This recent article from the New York Post reports everything about the driver and the passenger except for the fact that they had Muslim names.

Two 20-year-old men later walked into the police station while reeking of alcohol in order to turn themselves in for the violent hit-and-run, according to Belgian news outlet La Libre. 

Police said the men were under the influence of alcohol and drugs, in possession of smoke bombs, and claimed they had no recollection of the incident. 

Both men, who are from Molenbeek, were charged with armed rebellion and hit and run, the outlet said.

UPDATE (april 4, 12:00 Noon CST): The Daily Mail just amended its headline, changing "grinning far-right activist" to "grinning driver." So the full headline reads:

Horrific moment Muslim woman is mown down by grinning driver who then stops to take a PICTURE during anti-Islam rally in the troubled Brussels district of Molenbeek

This carries with it the implication that the woman was hit by someone who was part of the "anti-Islam rally." However, the text of the article now states that the first names of the occupants were "Redouane" and "Mohamed."

In the Twilight of Our Age, a Baby Girl Cries Over the Dead Body of Her Mother While an Old Man Kisses the Feet of Her Killers

Future historians may or may not refer to him as Pope. But whatever he may later be called or whatever he is now, he is obviously ill, though whether the issue is mental, moral or spiritual or some combination of the three, is not immediately clear.

Only a few minutes after nails from the closely packed bomb of a Muslim suicide commando team tore through that little girl's mother, Jorge Bergoglio took advantage of the horrific murder, in the manner of a desperate American presidential candidate, to condemn "cruel fundamentalism"--the implicit meaning, given earlier remarks, being to blame his Catholic opposition for the sort of thinking that led to the slaughter in Brussels.

Then today, before (in a grotesque parody of the Last Supper) brushing his lips over the feet of three Muslim men, he blamed the terrorist attacks on "arms manufacturers" and "arms traffickers"--a unique claim, as far as I know, and one which any unbiased observer would have to classify as insane.

Anyone following the gossip in Rome knows that Bergoglio is now hated--and feared--by many around him. He has had at least one quasi-private breakdown, denouncing his enemies and ranting that no one had the right to oppose him. On crucial matters he acts virtually alone or in concert with a few cronies including a perverted Argentinian bishop who has become his scribe.

In the manner of demagogues throughout the ages, it is of course the complete opposite of his carefully managed public persona.

Who speaks for that unnamed baby girl, crying alone in the darkness and silence? Where is the Pope's "mercy" for her?

That "mercy" is of course a lie. For Bergoglio it is merely a weapon to hurl against those who obstinately insist on following Christ.

It would be--how to say it?--just?, fitting? for Bergoglio to be "martyred" by members of the same life-hating cult that he has been so enthusiastic in supporting. I'm not calling for that, obviously. But it's becoming steadily more probable.

Would that help to save his soul? Perhaps. But I'd rather that he peacefully saved his own soul--after he is prevented from doing any more harm to the people of our Church and the people of Europe.

Honest bishops should attempt to relieve him of the office that he has so grossly abused.

Of course, many many more people will soon die. Anyone trying to resist that will be labeled "bigots" and "haters" by the mob. We are coming to the end of an age. Whether it will be followed by something even worse or--against all hope--some New Morning, is something we cannot know. 

That little girl may see it.

Fight for her, please.

And for her mother.

Good questions.

Muslim Grinches Blow Up Christmas Tree in Brussels

Tweet

According to Fdesouche, which posted the video on its Facebook page, the charming New Year's Eve celebrants--called "youths" by the media--chanted "Allahu Akbar" as they ran away from the burning tree. Apparently, this was only a few feet away from where a small car was pushed down a subway escalator (fortunately injuring no one). 

Brussels On Maximum Alert, Metro Shut Down, Government Asks Citizens to Avoid Crowds

Tweet

Reuters, 7:03 AM local time:

Belgium raised the alert status for its capital Brussels to the highest level on Saturday, shutting the metro and warning the public to avoid crowds because of a "serious and imminent" threat of an attack. 

A week after the Paris attacks carried out by Islamic State militants, of whom one suspect from Brussels is at large and said by authorities to be highly dangerous, the city was placed on the top level "four" in the government's threat scale after a meeting of top ministers, police and security services. 

"The advice for the population is to avoid places where a lot of people come together like shopping centres, concerts, events or public transport stations wherever possible," a spokesman for the government's crisis centre said. 

He declined to say what specifically prompted the new alert. 

A statement on the centre's website said it had recommended closing the underground rail network until Sunday and the municipal transport authority tweeted that stations on the four main metro lines were closed "by order of the police". 

The crisis centre website said it was calling on local authorities to cancel large events, urge people to avoid crowds, postpone soccer matches, close the Brussels metro for the weekend and stepping up the military and police presence.
