The following video reports and articles concern a situation that is very familiar to those who live in or near culturally-enriched areas of northern Europe, such as the Swedish city of Malmö. Firemen or other emergency personnel are called to an immigrant neighborhood, where they are met with a hail of stones, bricks, bottles, and fireworks. Nowadays the fire brigade in Malmö won’t enter these enriched areas without a police escort.
The same situation arose in the Corsican town of Ajaccio on Christmas Eve, when residents of a Muslim neighborhood attacked firemen responding to an emergency call. The difference between Malmö and Ajaccio, however, is that an immediate, spontaneous resistance formed and fought back against the Muslims. Perhaps there is a strong collective memory in these southern regions of centuries of Islamic occupation and oppression. In any case, a crowd of locals not only took to the streets in protest, they went into the no-go zone and trashed a mosque.

The MSM reports are notable for their equal emphasis on condemning the Corsican demonstrators at least as much as the Muslims who created the no-go zone and attacked the firemen. When quoted, all public officials above the most local levels have been careful to express their outrage about the “profanation of a Muslim place of prayer”.
Below are excerpts from articles on the violent incidents and protests in Corsica. First, from Fox News, December 25:
Corsica Violence Leaves Firefighters Injured, Muslim Prayer Hall Damaged
A crowd vandalized a Muslim prayer room in Corsica a day after an ambush left firefighters injured on the French island.
The region’s top police official was on the tense scene at a housing project Friday evening.
The violence began Thursday night, when firefighters responding to an emergency call were ambushed in Ajaccio, according to the local France 3 television. On Friday a gathering that started as a show of support for the injured emergency officials turned violent, and some in the crowd vandalized a prayer room. France 3 reported new police reinforcements at other prayer rooms.
France’s prime minister, Manuel Valls, called Friday for respect for French law after “the intolerable aggression toward firefighters and unacceptable profanation of a Muslim place of prayer.”
From The Guardian, December 26:
Muslim Prayer Room Vandalised in Corsica After Attack on Firefighters
A crowd vandalised a Muslim prayer room in Corsica a day after an ambush injured two firefighters responding to an emergency in a housing project, the state prefect on the French island has said.
Prefect Christophe Mirmand said police reinforcements from mainland France were being called into the Corsican capital of Ajaccio, and prayer rooms and mosques were being guarded.
Tensions were high on the Mediterranean island. The violence began on Thursday night, when firefighters responding to an emergency call were ambushed in a housing project in the hills of Ajaccio. It was not clear what prompted that violence.
On Friday, a gathering of about 600 people that started as a show of support for the injured emergency officials led to more violence when several dozen people broke away and headed to the prayer room. There, they threw objects and tried to burn Qur’ans and prayer books, officials said. They also vandalised a kebab shop.
France’s prime minister, Manuel Valls, called for respect for French law after “the intolerable aggression toward firefighters and unacceptable profanation of a Muslim place of prayer”.
From The Local, December 26:
Corsica Protesters Trash Muslim Prayer Room
Demonstrators ransacked a Muslim prayer hall and set fire to copies of the Koran on the French island of Corsica on Friday, police said, in an attack condemned by the government.
The violence came on Christmas day amid heightened security measures for the holiday, and nationwide fears after the November 13 attacks in Paris by jihadists that killed 130 people.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls wrote on Twitter that the break-in in the city of Ajaccio was “an unacceptable desecration”.
Tensions had mounted in Ajaccio Friday after two firefighters and a police officer were injured overnight in a low-income neighbourhood of the city when they were “ambushed” by “several hooded youths”, authorities said.
From The Daily Mail, December 26:
Muslim Prayer Hall is Ransacked by Koran-Burning Demonstrators Chanting ‘Arabs Get Out’ On the French Island of Corsica
Up to 600 French protesters desecrated a Muslim prayer hall in Corsica in a revenge attack prompted by the wounding of two firefighters and a police officer.
The furious mob smashed the prayer hall’s glass door, ransacked the interior and left around 50 partially-burned Korans littering the street overnight.
Chanting ‘Arabs get out!’ and ‘This is our home’, protesters marched through the streets of the French Mediterranean island’s capital, Ajaccio.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls described the attack on Twitter as ‘an unacceptable desecration’, and branded the violence towards the firefighters as an ‘intolerable attack’.
The violence began on the night of December 24, when two firefighters were ‘ambushed’ by ‘several hooded youths’ in the low-income neighbourhood of Jardins de L’Empereur.
It escalated when several hundred people gathered in front of police headquarters in the capital city, before marching through the streets to the housing estate where the attack on the firefighters took place.
They then launched the violent assault on the local prayer room.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazaneuve insisted the perpetrators of both incidents would be tracked down and arrested, adding that there was no place for ‘racism and xenophobia’ in France.
From France24, December 27:
Hundreds Defy Demonstration Ban in France’s Corsica
Several hundred people marched in Corsica on Sunday after two days of violent anti-Arab riots, sidestepping a ban on demonstrations in a flashpoint neighbourhood by taking their protests elsewhere in the island capital Ajaccio.
Two people were detained over the rioting on the French Mediterranean island, which saw demonstrators vandalise a Muslim prayer hall and set fire to books including copies of the Koran.
Corsica’s administrator Christophe Mirmand announced a ban on all protests and gatherings until at least January 4 in the poor Jardins de l’Empereur housing estate, the epicentre of the violence on Thursday through Saturday.

Hat tips for the articles: Seneca III, C. Cantoni, and Fjordman.
In RT’s report on this the reporter, Daniel Bushel, imparts a gratuitous smear when describing the protests against these assaults as “hate” (BareNakedIslam). No. The Corsican community is under attack from muslims. Corsican police and firefighters were injured by hostile stone-throwing muslim “youths”. As the report says, Islamic State has declared war on Europe. The protests are self-defence. Self-defence is the right of every individual.
Exactly
Years ago, there was a movie called, “This Awakening Land”,
starring Elizabeth Montgomery who played the part of a very
early settler in America.
She cooked on an open hearth and one day a rough cut sort of
mountain man stopped by to see her husband. He stood by her
hearth, was chewing tobacco, and spit a big glob of ambere on
her hearth.
That was just too much, and Elizabeth told him, “A man who
does THAT has done WORE OUT HIS WELCOME in my
house! NOW GIT!!”
Interior Minister Bernard Cazaneuve said there was no place for ‘racism and xenophobia’ in France. The no-go zone is a place of racism and xenophobia by muslims. So also is the mosque, where Islamic superiority is taught – “you are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind” (K.3:110), “Do not take Christians and Jews as friends” (5:51) they are the “vilest of beasts” (8:55).
Cognitive dissonance rules .The totalitarian left wing lunatics hold a clearly contradictory set of opinions .Reconciling them must lead to tremendous psychological stress.Does not compute does not compute.I’d feel sorry for them if it weren’t for the fact that they are so dangerous to society.
It’s the dystopian disaster described in the novel “1984” all over again.
Yes, the élite that rules France wants to reconcile the irreconcilable – gay marriage and sharia law, feminism and promotion of Islam, personal irresponsibility and good public order, political liberty and ideological totalirianism. The only thing it really hates and persecutes is Christianity: Christian faith, traditional Christian family, Christian morals…
Islamic State, which has declared itself at war with Europe, has issued commands to muslims in Europe to attack soldiers and police (because they represent and enforce man-made law, and not Islamic law). Remember the words of Samir Khan, US citizen, Al Qaeda member, formerly of North Carolina and New York City:
“I am a traitor to America because my religion requires me to be. We pledge to wage jihad for the rest of our lives until either we implant Islam all over the world or meet our Lord as bearers of Islam.”

Same old story, but with a hopeful twist; in a world gone PC mad with islamophiles creeping out of every gutter, in every country in the western world, say ‘hurrah’ for the Corsicans!
Why did Islamic trash migrate to Corsica, to become Corsicans? Not likely!Why in the world would they flood into countries like Sweden, Norway, U.K. or Iceland of all places? It simply cannot be that desert rats would flock to those countries for pleasant, easy living; so why did they migrate there, or to places like Inuvik, near the shore of the Arctic ocean–an islamic destination of choice!
Yet still the PC loonies insist we treat these ‘superior beings’ with deference and pay for their obscene benefits, while they insult us, steal from us, beat us, rape our women,, murder and behead us. We in Canada had a PM who knew the score, but Stephen has gone, replaced by ‘Baby Doc’ who has immediately reinstated not only medical, but also dental benefits for these worthless people who not only receive twice my pensions but also a CAR allowance! Just no end to stupidity!
I weep for Canada.Harper is a truly great man .He is clear- sighted pragmatic and just and has the courage of his convictions .Trudeau by contrast is an appeaser in the same mould as the execrable appeasers ,Chamberlain ,Merkel ,Vichy and Quisling
In such adversary times there is no “great man” a politician who do not do everything in his power, even if this means sacrificing his own life, in bringing down the traitors.
Funny how it is the reaction to the [muslim] violence that makes it to the news, never the [muslim] violence.
Did I say “funny”? I meant ironic.
This is how ideologically censorship works in supposedly free democratic countries.
the fact that Corsica is the island, make it ideal for practicing methods and techniques of Separation.
– no muslims in
– illegals out
– revoking citizenship, deporting violent thugs, criminals, radicals
– serious attention to weapons smuggling
– fences, roadblocks,
– surveillance – watchtowers, aireal drones
– patrols (both inland and maritime, including by unmanned wehicles)
– self-organized local “counterjihadi” 🙂 militia
– establishing trustul relation between army/police and local self-defense
The Social Lab.
the goal is to find optimal “counterjihadi package”, cost/effectiveness-wise.
PS
it seems like China has more barbed wire-making companies than the rest of the worls combined.. looks like promising business for nearest decade or two at least..
…
Agree completely with you AY
Do you know the slightest thing about Corsica? It’s an omerta/vendetta society. It’s the home of the mafia in france and is 100% ruled by organized crime.
Yes it’s true that if christians attacked firefighters in Pakistan, the Pakis would all run into the streets and ransack some churches. So in that way, the Corsicans are a lot like Pakistanis. Hooray for mob violence, huh.
Because if they behave like animals then so should we? Oh and turn the whole western world into an armed camp with 24/7 surveillance? Shame on you.
they ought to be treated like animals
Scary how the headline in The Grauniad isn’t even the worst of them.
Delicious.
I truly think 2015 has been a turning point for us. The very first signs of a Europe-wide fightback are emerging. A cause for great optimism, I would suggest.
Corsican patriots are lions led by donkeys
There is hope. Beat the donkey long enough, he will kick – and you’ll know little after that……
We can only hope so.My thoughts and prayers are with the Corsican patriots.
Islam only submits to a greater force.
So do traitors.
You are totally right. You know why? While in Christianity the basic principle of relations between man and God, as well as of any human relationship, is love, in Islam it is submission (the word “Islam” itself is often translated as “submission”).
Love presupposes mutual respect. For that reason, Christians believe that not only man should respect God, but God Himself respects man. And a stronger human being should respect weaker ones. Men are expected to respect women, rulers are expected to respect those they rule, priests are expected to respect their congregations.
Not so in Islam. As submission is the only thing Allah wants from people, it perfectly OK to make them Muslims by force or deception. And it is perfectly OK to impose Islamic law by violence. In such spiritual atmosphere, force becomes the main principle of and the final argument in all human relations. The weak are despised and enslaved, the strong rule.
So, as long as Muslims remain Muslim they will always respect force. Not only primitive physical strength, but also spiritual fortitude.
This is why, in the Russian empire relations between the Christian majority and the Muslim minority were, on the whole, peaceful and quiet. The State considered Orthodox Christianity as the State religion and the spiritual foundation of Russia. It did tolerate Islam and many other religions and even paid salary to Muslim clergy, but it did not allow Muslims to convert Christians and severely punished any attempts at rebellion. The Orthodox Church, for its part, was strong not only because of support by the State, but also because it had a strong, living and uncompromising faith which commanded respect of many Muslims. (No sane Russian Orthodox would ever dream of saying Mohammed is as great as Jesus Christ. Such an idea would be considered pure madness.) Some Muslims even asked revered Orthodox priests or monks to pray for them, as they believed in the special power of Orthodox prayer.
In modern West, the situation is totally different. The State regards traditional Christian confessions with great contempt and suspicion while showing exaggerated (though false) respect for Islam. The traditional Western denominations largely lost their faith and turned into humanitarian agencies with a few quaint rituals. Their leaders go out of their way to be friendly to Muslims. Of course, Muslims – quite rightly – see it as weakness and despise both modern Western States and modern Western churches with all their heart.
Thus, without strong authentic Christian faith and strong State defending authentic European values and putting Islam in its place, Europe will be destroyed in our lifetime. Muslims see it as a ripe fruit about to fall into their hands.
Thank you for what you said about our Church. I am Greek-American.
Are you? I love Greece and Greeks. And worship Mount Athos.
This. Is. The. Truth.
It’s exactly the same sort of reporting as after the Cronulla pushback here in Australia.
After years of “Lebs” (their own term for themselves) behaving like barbarians on the beach in the Sydney suburb of Cronulla they finally over stepped the mark when they came “disguised” (instead of wearing Canterbury football shorts they were all wearing brand spanking new Wests’ shorts) and late in the afternoon ambushed and bashed a life guard after he went off shift.
But all the media coverage was about how horrible the Australians were who went down there the next weekend in support of the life guards and the locals, and very little about the armed (including firebombs) Lebs who came from all over the east coast to attack them.
It has turned out that it was not a Mosque or Muslim Prayer room, but a cultural building with its aim to help the Muslims to integrate into the community (some hope !)
Thus the use of the building for Muslim prayers. was complete illegal
A foretaste of Europe’s future, and USA’s as well.
A foretaste of Europe’s future, and USA’s as well. It’s worthwhile repeating.
