Last Sunday the ending of Amsterdam multicultural festival "Kwakoe" for Caribbean blacks was marred by violence. As the festival ended and revellers went home fights broke out. The police (Dutch) made seven arrests.
I witnessed an ongoing fight in the carriage behind the metro carriage that I was using travelling home after a trip to Berlin. Several enrichers were fighting it out for five minutes on the track from station Duivendrecht to Amstel.
Berlin is very mellow compared to Amsterdam. Berlin has only fourteen percent immigrants, while Amsterdam has close to fifty. Even so I was a witness on the S-Bahn of an angry confrontation between a German and a Turk, over the Turk playing music on his walkman.
In The Netherlands the train carriage got tense halfway in the country as about six muslim kids entered my carriage and started to play music loudly.
Debate is also starting in Berlin over the possibility to assimilate the Turkish immigrants, as there has been a spate of honour killings in the past two years. More and more Turkish women in Germany is wearing the headscarve, although I did not see a single Burqa.

Riots in Belgium
The latest news from the MultiCultural front (hat tip, Esther). 150 Belgian and immigrant youths have been fighting last night. The fighting took place in the town of Diest between midnight and 02:00 in the morning. The Diest PD had to request for reinforcement from Brussels. Riot police used water cannon to disperse the rioters.
Diest is situated between Antwerp and Maastricht.
Related not so new news: North Africans attacked a High speed train running in the South of France on New years Day. A woman was sexually assaulted and passengers were robbed. The rioters screamed "Die, you are going to die" at the terrified passengers.
This is similar to the constant robberies by North Africans on the trains running between Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam Main Railway Station. The North African prefer robbing Americans. Despite the fact that the 50 plus robbers were known for years and were collectively assisted and followed by 130 (!!!) social workers and policemen (more social workers, really) it was not possible for the Dutch authorities to stop the robbers. Eventually the main hotspot for the robberies, Station Lelylaan, was secured by a private security company. Station Lelylaan is the train Station in Amsterdam-West where suspected terrorist Nouredine el Fahtni of the "Hofstad" cell of terrorists was arrested, carrying a sub machine gun.
