Dozens of far-right activists and local residents threw eggs and taunted hundreds of Muslim immigrants as they gathered to pray in a central square for Eid al-Adha surrounded by a protective cordon of riot police.

Eggs? A far cry from cutting heads off or murder in the name of jihad and allah.

The Greeks are painfully reminiscent of their treatment at the hands of the proselytes of the pedophile pirate, not just on the isle of Cyprus, but throughout Asia Minor.

I’m sure the peace loving Muslims will respond with their usual killing of innocents.

My gut reaction is “good”.

I realize there are lots of muslims who must be fine people. Somehow they have to be convniced their religion is not a religion of peace.

No black and white answer here, but it’s time for the west to stand up to muslims.

"Far-right," my @ss. Did this guy interview them?

I wonder what year it was that al-Reuters did their first Eid al-Adha story? Inquiring minds want to know.

No sympathy here.
Islam is incompatible with Western culture and should be driven back to the caves.

How exactly do you realize this? Is it a statistical thing, or what?

is it wise to throw eggs at people that throw grenades in return?

Yea, there are decent muslims I am sure but all of them should be forced to go friggin home to their hell holes, and live under the crap they believe, the problem is for them is that once they have arrived in their hell hole of choice, then they have no voice, except they can beat their wives, stone women who don’t accept their advances as whores , and rape the boys for fun..
Egg, I like eggs, wrap em in bacon next time..its a good start..

Good muslims...If they were "good"...they'd be leaving that so called religion in droves.

They are effectively, SUPPORTERS of a historically violent political movement.

Greece has been under the Mohamedan foot before and will be again along with the rest of Europe.
