The German Islam-critical Pro-NRW organization held a demonstration yesterday in front of a mosque in Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia. The demo included some Mohammed cartoons, which offended local Muslims. Salafists from the mosque responded by attacking the police.
The following video comes from a German news program. Notice that the announcer hypothesizes that the violent culture-enrichers may have “felt provoked” by the cartoons. “After that, stones flew”, as if by their own accord — or perhaps they were propelled by the relentless force of the passive voice habitually used by the MSM when describing the actions of Muslims.
Many thanks to Hermes for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:
A transcript of the video is below the jump:
| 00:01 | An apparently planned Salafist action took place yesterday in | |
| 00:05 | Solingen. in its electoral campaign the extreme right-wing party | |
| 00:09 | Pro-NRW displayed event cartoons criticising Islam | |
| 00:13 | in the vicinity of a mosque. Militant Salafists subsequently | |
| 00:17 | attacked the police with sticks and stones. The Public | |
| 00:21 | prosecution believes it was not a sudden outburst of rage. | |
| 00:25 | Street clashes in the inner city of Solingen, supporters | |
| 00:28 | of the Salafists fight with the police, stones are | |
| 00:31 | thrown at the officers. The Public Prosecutor | |
| 00:34 | presumes that what happened was by no means a | |
| 00:37 | sudden outburst of rage by the Salafists. Stones as big | |
| 00:40 | as fists were thrown, and we noticed that this type | |
| 00:43 | of stone was not to be found at the place of the | |
| 00:46 | demonstration. That's why we presume they were | |
| 00:49 | carried there, and this fact makes us suspect that these | |
| 00:52 | riots could probably have been planned beforehand. | |
| 00:55 | Violence escalated after the right-wing | |
| 00:58 | populist movement Pro-NRW called for | |
| 01:01 | a controversial cartoon contest. Salafists | |
| 01:04 | may well have felt provoked by the | |
| 01:07 | cartoons displayed, according to locals. | |
| 01:10 | After that, stones flew, two officers were injured. | |
| 01:13 | A balance which keeps politicians concerned. | |
| 01:16 | Our reaction is that we are keeping an eye on both | |
| 01:19 | extreme movements, and we will take penal measures | |
| 01:22 | against them, both against the Pro-NRW party, which | |
| 01:25 | is deep-rooted in extreme right circles of North | |
| 01:28 | Rhine-Westphalia, and also against Salafists, whom we | |
| 01:31 | consider to be the most dangerous Islamist branch. | |
| 01:35 | On his website the well-known Salafist preacher | |
| 01:38 | Pierre Vogel backed the aggression of his followers. | |
| 01:41 | The police searched a mosque in Solingen; mobile | |
| 01:43 | phones and data storage devices were seized. The | |
| 01:46 | Public Prosecution acted quickly against 81 persons | |
| 01:50 | on charges of causing grave injuries and a breach of peace. |
