Did Zeus never teach Athena to have some tolerance with Muslims?

well well, I can imagine how annoying muslim immigrants are... but pelting them with eggs like peltasts are not cool, especially when they celebrate the Eid-ul-Adha and supposed to give free beef and goat steaks to their neighbours...

because you hellenes are bad with them, so no free goat steaks for you this year...

------------------------------------

Ok, ok, real commentary about this event:
- this night, the news (at TV) here announce this event, and they shown how the angry Greek mob throwing eggs, stones, and almost everything nasty violently to a small (!) muslim group gathered to do a religious ceremony in the central square (which was public ground), and the video shown there is not even pomp and ceremonies, just some goats are shown (for the sacrifice).
- as most of you allready knew, I was rather at odds with the muslims, but seeing them abused this heavy and even the police force (who are supposedly neutral at least) joins the fray into beating some children and even babies hit by baton... (!) ok people, this is too much...

just want to know, how "deep" european hatred with muslims allready grow, and why this event happened...

I don't understand are you saying you don't understand why a Greek might not like muslim immigrants being in Greece, I imagine muslims have never being welcome in Greece ever since the time of the Turks and up to and including today.

yeah, but what bothers me is they start to do "overkill" with their "protests"

pelting rotten eggs and stones, hitting and kicking at MEN should be acceptable enough in severe cases, but hitting women, batoning children, and kick some babies in their mother's hands is just... too much...

I just meant if the protesters are real MEN, they should avoid doing violences on helpless WOMEN and CHILDREN.

Maybe the Mohameddans will become the scapegoats for the woes of Greece? The scenes there were pretty shocking, most of them weren't even Turks so it's not like you could explain it with the old nationalist rivalry.

.......

Well you didn't mind when it happened to the police...

Oh come on you know that wasn't serious.

They'd better watch out if they start bearing gifts.

You do realise these were far right loons right there gonna hate everyone, casual racism of Muslims is increasing Europewide but remember it is not happening in a vacuum.

Kristallnacht.

Hmm, our dialogue is dragging things OT...

Kristallnacht.

In what way is this the same? Or were you just making a Godwin for the lulz (I do that as well sometimes)?

A large-scale episode of violence and harassment directed at a minority which has been subjected to a long hate and fear-campaign.

Also, it was the first thought that poped into my head after i read the article.

[Rhyfelwyr]

Yeah but the major difference is the Nazi's used their own forces, unlike the current Greek government. A bit o' hyperbole there methinks...

Violence is against the law. Against men, women and children. Having a penis and more testosterone doesn't exempt you from being hit by people. I won't even try to understand how you condone violence and perhaps even promote violence (in severe cases, whatever the hell that means).

Where I live, I am happy that the nation-wide consensus is not (yet) "Oh, you can hit (Muslim) men and throw eggs at them." It's repulsive, abhorrent and you should be ashamed, as far as I reckon, for even proposing such a thing. It's disgusting.
