Hi Kathy,

Great blog, I read it daily.

You missed one – Sevket Temiz is Turkish. Which give them a MAJORITY on the council.

Scary.

Mark Steyn at the Corner:

“I found this interesting for several reasons. For a start, in America political representation is usually a lagging indicator (for example, we think of Vermont as an almost parodically ‘progressive’ stronghold, yet Pat Leahy is the first and only Green Mountain Democrat to be elected to the United States Senate). Evidently, things move faster in Brussels. My mom’s Belgian and, if you’d said to her 30 years ago Brussels would be a Muslim-run city, she’d have said you were nuts.

(…)

“That said, obviously Muslims are not an homogenous block. No doubt there are significant differences between Belgian Turks and Belgian Algerians. Nonetheless, if Northern Ireland is still riven by sectarian strife in 2100, it seems likely to be between Sunni and Shia.”

PLUS: “Police Brutality Videotaped at Belgian 9/11 Peaceful Demonstration Against “Islamization of Europe”

Of course, something like this would never happen in Canada.

After all, we wouldn’t have the guts to stage such a demo in the first place.

Which makes us even worse than “miserable fat Belgian bastards,” and that’s a sad commentary.

(And most of my countrymen are evidently “sick of hearing about 9/11”, and feel “America asked for it” and we all “need to get over it.”)

OK, not entirely true. Note that at this Toronto demo, the cops were also on the side of the radical Muslims and their socialist dupes.
