ATHENS, Greece (The Blaze/AP) — Greek riot police used tear gas and pepper spray to disperse Muslim protesters during a rally against a film produced in the United States that denigrates Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. No injuries were reported.
The demonstration, the first such one in Greece, comes amid nearly two weeks of continuing deadly protests across the Arab world blamed at least in part on “Innocence of Muslims.”

Police say six people were detained during Sunday’s demonstration in central Athens. About 600 people attended the rally, which featured heated speeches but was mostly peaceful. According to Reuters, protesters chanted “All we have is Muhammad” and held banners reading, “We demand an immediate punishment for those who tried to mock our Prophet Muhammad” as they prepared to march to the U.S. Embassy.
It briefly turned violent when some in the crowd clashed with riot police, throwing objects, including bottles, at them. Three cars were damaged and three storefronts smashed.

Police had cordoned off Omonia Square and prevented the protesters from marching to the U.S. Embassy, about two miles away.
Banners in English denounced the film, called on the U.S. to hang the filmmaker and told President Barack Obama “we are all with Osama.”
Greece is home to hundreds of thousands of Muslims, according to Reuters.

Sep. 23, 2012 at 3:39pmThe radical leftists are having a hard time now trying to convince Greeks that diversity is their strength, because the social benefits paid to immigrants are taking money away from native Greeks, causing a cut in some pensions and putting many others in danger of being eliminated altogether.
Salaries have been cut. Thousands of jobs have been eliminated. And government jobs are being drastically slashed. The party’s over.
At the present time illegals are being rounded up and put into camps for deportation. There’s no money to pay for even legal aliens, and the financial situation is getting worse by the week.
Can anybody on here imagine immigrating to a foreign country and behaving this way after they were kind enough to take you in?
Well, the dominos are in the process of falling right now. Another tempoprary fix is in the making, prompted by German’s high court which approved initiating ANOTHER fund for failing EU countries, but all that is going to accomplish is to slow down the implosion a bit, just as the first bailouts did, then it’s back to precipice time with a lot of hand-wringing.
Italians in a little village became fed up with the crime, rapes and chaos caused by African migratory workers in their area and were attacking them.
All of Europe will eventually be responding to these ingrates the same way, as their economies continue to implode.

Sep. 23, 2012 at 4:12pmThese Muslim riots are the fruition for Bolshevik political correctness. These Europeans opened their borders with open arms to OPENLY HOSTILE, barbaric, savage, cavemen Muslims. They let these barbarians flood in by the millions. Now you have to deal with the aftermath. They have become a majority in many cities and they want to take total control. These Muslims know Europe is weak and ripe for conquest. You have Europe/US and our political correctness (weakness) vs violent, hostile Muslims and their goal of conquest and domination. Who do you think will win in the end? I’m not betting on the West. The West is its own worst enemy. They invited all of this crap into their countries. There is no way out unless you have an all out “ethnic cleansing” in the West. I think it’s too late now though.

Sep. 23, 2012 at 2:51pmOur leaders should get our people home, create an environment to keep them over there and secure all our borders. We should use the resourses we have here in this country where we are not dependent upon their oil, etc. We need our people to clean this place up over here and keep our selves home until it is done. This country has enough resourses to supply our needs for hundreds of years, yet. Those who are playing “green energy” games are just trying to confuse the issues. There should be companies who clean up and keep things clean, but if you “have oxen in the stall” you will have to clean up after them. We need to keep these people out of this country and keep our selves within the confines of our country until all of this settles down. The only effective works that will ever accomplish anything is the Word of God. With that there will be a peace within.

Sep. 23, 2012 at 2:45pmThese people have no joy, no peace, and live for the emotion of hate and murder. They have no idea of how to give or love one another or others. They have to riot to feel, to express the rage that takes over where peace, love and caring for one another leaves off. Americans do have a leg up on that for we are the result of what has been handed down to us as they are. They are in such a different environment as most of us cannot relate to it, as they cannot ours. It would be best if we could just leave each other alone and let God work it out at this point. We will have to protect Israel for God says he will be against those who are against Israel. We should keep in mind that they are where they are because it is their destiny given to them by their forefathers, as are we. Americans have a lot to be thankful to God for.

Sep. 23, 2012 at 2:40pmWhoever said all they have is Mohammed is telling the truth from their perspective. They have no life, just something they want to stand for. It is a sad state of affairs because those leaders are giving those people a warped sense of importance and using them like fodder to disrupt the world so they will think they are making brownie points with Mohammed. They need Jesus Christ. He took pain for us. He is our savior. Their man is a man who allows them death, destruction and pain. Our God does not expect us to do anything but tell in his Word he will forgive them and love them if they want this. They only know hate. Mohammed is all they have, and it is a sad state of affairs when a man, woman and child has to hate in order to exist.

Sep. 23, 2012 at 2:36pmIn seeking to control 1.6 billion people, 1000 Imams have lied to them about everything. It’s tragic that they feel that “all they have is Mohammed” when what they do have is GOD who created them and His son, Jesus. The satanic Imams don’t care anything for their people…they are controlled by Satan.
Satan wants to maim, to destroy spirits, to take away hopes and dreams. They may talk about HOPE like OBAMA, but their real message is CONTROL (Like OBAMA). ENSLAVEMENT is about the most cruel thing anyone can attempt to do to anyone. TODAY we have the perfect storm of Greedy B’s like Soros and the Saudi family using these Minions to do their bidding (control oil from around the world) ; We have the beaten down Russians whose Communism failed them big time – there never was “equality for the people” – it was only the GOOD OL’ BOY SYSTEM with guns ; Marxists, Socialists, lousy Liberals…people who want to try to tell YOU what to do, but have no discipline to make themselves do the right thing. ALL forces converging on the USA because we are free (and rich by their standards).. Obama has sold our assets to the Russians; Stopped our efforts to be ENERGY INDEPENDENT; he’s gutted our military and he thinks HE can be the DICTATOR OF THE WORLD. Look closely. YOU can now see the ANTI- CHRIST emerging in him…look at the eyes first.
WHAT CAN WE DO? PRAY and VOTE. PRAYING that the 75% of us who are PATRIOTS overcome the 21% of them who are one-worldc
