Violent mob, cheered on by authorities and newspapers

At her blog, Diana West tells how 40,000 rioters flooding the streets of Cologne prevented an anti-Islamization group of 1,500 persons from legally gathering and protesting the construction of a proposed super-mosque. Cologne's mayor called this victory of mob rule "a victory for the city of Cologne and a victory by the democratic forces in this city."

And here is the London Times' story (copied below). It reads like something in a Communist newspaper. A mob of 40,000 breaks up a peaceful protest, and the Times mocks the "farce" of the protesters fleeing for safety. Notice how the anti-Islamization demonstrators, who were seeking to do nothing but give speeches and tour the construction site, are repeatedly described as "far right wing extremists," while the huge mob that violently attacked, threatened, and disrupted them are described as "anti-fascists." What a dark day for the West.

I sent this comment to the Times:

I never thought I would see the London Times cheering on violent protesters and gloating at the sight of peaceful demonstrators being physically threatened and terrorized.

So the Times is FOR the Islamization of Europe, and it is FOR a violent mob silencing any protest against that Islamization.
