The riots are getting boosted by racists and nationalists. I spoke to someone yesterday who was boasting about attending a riot in the local town. Comments were like..

  • Islamic gangs are roaming the streets raping under age girls
  • All the hotels in the town are full of immigrants

They burnt the entrance of a hotel based on this claim. And marched on anti-islamic grounds.

There could be truth in things that are reported, but I don't agree that there should be an all out war against Muslims or immigrants because a group of them have done a bad thing. You can't paint an entire religious group like that.
