2. Pal Pal
Barne;y; ,   USA   (05.21.09)
Just as Israel is Jewish land forever with a united Jersusalem as its capital forever!!!!
3. Greece, meet Islam.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (05.21.09)
Did you really think, dear Greeks, that your Muslims would show gratitude and loyalty for your country's traditional support of the Palestinians and villification of Israel, and spare you from their riots? Then you know not Islam.
4. Payback for Taliban blowing up 1,000 year old Buddha statues

5. It is surprising, #3
Cameron ,   USA   (05.21.09)
Greeks, you forget your own history. Your ancestors, with sword & knife, sent that lot running in the days of Lord Byron.
6. Deport ALL illegal aliens, Greece as well as America.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.22.09)
Illegal aliens have destroyed California. They don't pay taxes, they bring down the wages that employers pay to legal citizens, they fill up the schools with kids that won't ever graduate and now California is broke. What did the illegal alien lovers think when they brought in people who would work for very little, that they would be grateful? No they march in the streets demanding their "rights" to citizenship because they were able to sneak into the country. When you bring in people who work for nothing and pay no taxes and get free medical care, is it any wonder the state goes broke? Deport the illegal aliens, put them on a cargo ship to Syria and when they get close to shore, give them rubber boats and paddles. They are not immigrants, those are people who come with welcome and permission. Illegal aliens come to steal jobs and lower wages and pay nothing into society, just take from it. The muslums would be happy to destroy a bible or a Torah, but touch their book of nonsense and they turn killer. Deport these people now.
7. Non-Greeks Bearing Gifts
Michael Durbin ,   Hong Kong, China   (05.22.09)
It is impossible to feel sympathy for the Greeks. They wanted them, welcomed them, coddled them...and now can just go ahead and "enjoy" them.
8. Pooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrr Greecks.............
Asher ,   NY.USA   (05.22.09)
9. Expel immigrants but DO NOT destruct our Holy book

10. Hejaz is Christian and Jewish land!! Forever!
Greek Greek ,   Hellenic Byzantium   (05.22.09)

11. Hey, pass the book my way will you? I'm in the shitter & am
out of toilet paper. ,   This will do fine.   (05.22.09)
12. They act like that in their home countries too
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (05.22.09)
In Yemen they're dealing with a recent case in which a mob was fired up by the rumor that someone had torn pages from a Koran. He and his family were attacked and savagely beaten, their home burned to the ground. Those attackers however are not being charged. The victim, however, is being charged with "blasphemy". The Europe we once knew will soon be no more. In another generation it will be barely recognizable. And we all know why.
13. we shall see...
tom ,   toronto, canada   (05.22.09)
we shall see if the greeks have any balls between them. while it is nice to to tolerate minorities, it is another thing to be bullied by violent, barbarian thugs. who are under the misimpression that are masters of someone else's house. if the greeks have any balls left, they will stage a "counter-demonstration" to show that greece is still the homeland of the greeks, and doesn't belong to the land-stealing moslems. otherwise, we'll soon start to hear about how the greeks stole "hellas" from the poor arab refugees who have lived there for thousands of years, and how aristotle and pericles were moslems, etc., etc.
14. greece. pay back time for your foolish embrace of pals
ralph   (05.22.09)
15. THE CURSE
jean   (05.22.09)
Greece, you got what you deserve. Same goes for Holland, Germany,Spain, and numerous EU countries, with Canada & the US not far behind. ISLAM is god's CURSE on civilization the koran " " " When will civilization to this onslaught ? For many it's too late.
16. upset a jew its laughed off upset a muslim you get riots
zionist forever   (05.22.09)
One idiot policeman destroys a Koran everybody else suffers for it. What did the owners of those shops and cars do wrong to justify 1000 muslims smashing up their property? The only reason they want names is not because they want to press charges its because they want to hold a lynching. if a Torah scroll or even a christian bible had been destroyed there would be alot of anger and demand of an apology from the police force. The policeman would be prosecuted but there would be no rioting. When one idiot policeman destroys a koran the only acceptable option is riots. Remeber in Denmark there were not only riots but even acts of terror because of a bunch of cartoons about Mohammed. How many cartoons and jokes are made about jews and their ways all over the world and how many jews riot over the things? Time for Greece to stop taking in all the muslim immigrants, Turkey wants Cyprus so badly why not send them to Turkey.
17. Ask yourself why .
AK   (05.22.09)
Why do the Muslims march and destroy property at the drop of the hat? The answer is that they behave so because they get away with it. Never in history has any other minority group dared to riot so easily and get away with it ( at least not in Europe.) Muslims get away with rapes, riots and their victims continue to vilify Israel, in stead.
18. why, i thought islam was the religion on peace?
david ,   ny   (05.22.09)
lol, i love it when the liberal loving countries get thier b.s. shuved in their faces. yet they will never learn, bec liberalism is a disease and thus they cant help themselves. In fact, i bet the greeks will find a way to blame this too on Israel or Jews.
19. Isn't it strange?
David ,   USA   (05.22.09)
America and Europe let immigrants ride roughshod over them, while Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc., take great pains and elaborate precautions at great expense to keep immigrants out.
20. Europe new locusts
Spear ,   Denmark   (05.22.09)
Everywher ein Europe, from North to south, you get muslims violent comunities, bringing in their disgracefull hate, and their agressive and thuggish behaviour? Themain culprits are leftists governemnts, in 70's and 80's who let thme in. Now they are in and they are bringing Europe clos eto the abyss; Real Europeans has to wake up to this threat, who is also a indirect threat for our Israeli friends, becaus eif Europe fell into the hands of islam, then Israel will be the firts to pay the price
21. to 10
sura ,   jeruusalem   (05.22.09)
i like your post not becouse it is true but bcouse it is nonsense .like any other saying about forever ... can anyone live forever to controle any thing forever .. it is only god can said forever to someprinciple but about land it is for good people who are not present here or ther e
22. to 16
muimen ,   jerusalem   (05.22.09)
your post apears as if it is true and logic but it is not .the truth is moslems believe on moses as well as jesus and muhammad .and they are angry for the antireligouse action but jews or cristian are angry more for their properties than their religion so they destroy the kuran and the moslemes destroy their properties
23. A Kuwaiti religious leader
David ,   USA   (05.22.09)
A Kuwaiti religious leader recently advocates bringing anthrax into the United States. Abdallah Al-Nafisi said "Four pounds of anthrax – in a suitcase this big – carried by a fighter through tunnels from Mexico into the US, are guaranteed to kill 330,000 Americans within a single hour, if it is properly spread in population centers there." Is this the islamic way of saying "thank you" or, "So long, sucker!" ?
24. 6
zionist forever   (05.22.09)
I AGREE WITH EVERY WORD YOU SAY i have a friend in the US who is a self employed skilled builder but he looses contracts because its cheaper to get a Mexican to do the job even if the workmanship is shoddy. He has even been told buy contractors hire a Mexican crew its cheaper don't use your own American people who know you and what they are doing. Israel does the same hire palestinians and import people from places like China. Instead of pushing Israelis to do the jobs government issue more work permits to palestinians as goodwill peace gestures. These governments are destroying the countries economy and ordinary citizens pay for it through higher taxes or fewer services.
25. Right 18; the religion on peace...
thisraeli   (05.22.09)
" . . . marched through central Athens damaging shops and cars to protest . . . ."
26. Oooh, a riot in Greece!
Radka ,   Athens, Greece   (05.22.09)
Why, this is most impressive. An actual riot in Greece? And at Omonoia square, to boot? Unbelievable. Ask any Greek whether he's ever heard of a car getting smashed by a protesting crowd; he'll be shocked, i'm sure. As for someone's comment about immigrants in Greece being welcomed and coddled...methinks most of you choose to forget at times what it was like to be a darkie non-Christian immigrant in Europe and how much you enjoyed it here.
27. More than 1 million Muslim Turk in Greece+500 000 Albanians
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.22.09)
In fact more than 20% of Greece is Muslim
28. @6, completely agree
INCognito ,   Brooklyn, NY   (05.22.09)
deport all illegal aliens, including all the Israelis that are in the US illegally overstaying their visas, working illegally all over the Northeast at the malls selling stuff.
29. #27 ignorant liar?
eliyahu ,   tlv   (05.22.09)
go look yourself before you distribute your lies. There is only a muslim minority of about 1% (100.000 people), living in western Thrace (Xanthi, Komotini, Alexandroupolis) which is recognized, by the Geneve convention 1923, having full rights as everey greek citizen. What do you think? Do they want to go to Turkey? not in this life my friend. To calm you down, there are some 100.000 more, illegal immigrants (of muslim origin) who do not fall in this category, most of them, sooner or later, will go back. Guess what? their kids love living in Greece, because living there is a blessing.
30. An education
mike cato ,   USA   (05.22.09)
The Greeks are now getting the education that the Israelis and all victims of radical Islam have already gotten. Well, it's never too late to learn.
