"Mr President, my country, Flanders, too, has been the scene of terror on the streets over the past few weeks, with gangs of North African immigrants giving full vent to their hatred towards our Western society and taking it out on public and private property. Whilst the violence was more limited in its extent than in France, where several people were killed, the politically correct left still prevents us from using the term riffraff or scum
in French – and would prefer to shoot the messenger than address the problem in an environment without any taboos. Those problems are first and foremost rooted in an immigration policy that has gone off the rails, in the formation of ghettos, the refusal to assimilate and an aggressive Islamic fundamentalism in the suburbs.
Certain media, however, prefer to describe the scum who tipped fuel over a disabled lady in order to set fire to her only as rascals. Innocent rascals apparently, are also the scoundrels who, in Noisy-le-Grand, pulled two women out of their car and dragged them through the streets by the hair. No doubt it was also disadvantaged young people who kicked Jean-Jacques Lechenadec to death, but the policeman who protected citizens and property from looters risks being put in prison. Those whom Mr Sarkozy rightly describes as scum, however, can count on subsidies and red-carpet treatment. I take pity on Europe and France."@en1
