Dozens of cars have been smashed, 14 people injured and 46 arrested in riots by Muslim migrants over the alleged defacing of a Koran by a policeman.
Police fired tear gas and stun grenades at hundreds of protesters outside Parliament in the city centre.
Police said they would investigate the allegation that an officer tore up an Iraqi migrant's Koran while checking his identity papers in Athens last week. "But this isolated incident cannot justify these acts of violence," said Interior Minister Christos Markoyiannakis.
Waves of illegal immigration in recent years have led to an influx of Muslims, mostly from Pakistan and Afghanistan, living in run-down parts of central Athens. Greek rights activist Thanassis Kourkoulas said the protest showed the migrants "have a voice"
Violence is a voice, according to Civil Rights activists. In other words, if Muslims deprive others of their civil rights by burning and looting, then they are giving voice to their own civil rights.
Perhaps civil rights activists ought to be concerned with everyone's civil rights, huh?

Yeah, Civil rights activists should be concerned with everyone's civil rights.
BNP website 'permanently' shut down by massive sustained denial of service attack.
Suspects:
- British Government
- EU
- OIC
- Turkish Government
- Obama/BSD
You can permanently shut down a website with a DoS attack?
I would love to know where that came from. I hope it can be traced.
Pastorius,
I have a feeling that the government could trace it. Both The American Government and the British government have some very high tech spying tools. Whoever is responsible for the denial of service attack is probably just a low level hacker. I doubt that any government is responsible.
Yeah, Damien. I tend to agree with you, although this guy is saying the British government may be the culprit.
