Mike H. :I am sure if we looked hard enough we can find many, many examples of permits being denied for political reasons in the US. 

While we are on the topic of freedoms why did the US need a Constitutional amendment to ban alcohol and a simple majority to ban marijuana? The political/ruling elites just do whatever they want to anyway. I just loved the tax money paid for DEA ads saying that if you smoke weed you are essentially a terrorist. Did we have any doubt the Patriot act would immediately be turned against domestic political activists after the complete failure against Al-Queda?

But like the KKK/Nazi rally they will blame the resulting black/fascist counter rally and violence on the original peaceful protesters. There were no Klansmen/Nazis even in the town during the riots after the permit was revoked in Ohio but the main stream media widely reported they were responsible for burning the town down. Of course blacks always get a free ride from the media after their "protest" riots like trashing Berkeley and L.A. after the Rodney King police acquittal.

JCPennylegion, Ohio, the Klu Klux Klan requested a parade permit but was refused because the black community was about to hold a counter-riot. Anytime that the public safety is endangered permits can be refused. This, of course, is abused, but it does happen in the US. 

 Great article Paul,It seems that some organisations don't even bother asking permission to demonstrate. As far as i know it happened with a demonstration in favour of muslim veils and also with a demonstration against the Danish cartoons. Though they didn't play by the rules, these events were, of course, "tolerated".
As for this manifestation, it might be advisable that the manifestators take some camera's and photo devices with them in a discrete way. So whenever there are irregularities, they can be recorded and, if needed, put on the internet as evidence. Otherwise politicians and the media will traditionally put all the blame on the protestors but never the police nor the muslim saints. 

So, when protesters show up in Brussels anyway will we see the EU-version of the Tienanmen Square Massacre

REPLY: If that's the case, then your so called "leaders" over there would be showing their true colors, woundn't they? This story has not yet reached the main stream media here in America yet. It's too politically incorrect for those biased fools. The only way it would get media attention here is if something like Tienamen Square does happen. I pray that it doesn't, regardless of the media bias!

So, when protesters show up in Brussels anyway will we see the EU-version of the Tienanmen Square Massacre ?

Please document your assertion by citing specific instances where US citizens were denied the right to assemble, march, or otherwise protest in public. JCPennylegion, USA

Even halal haggis wouldn't be tolerated here:

""Christian Democrats,who have 11 councillors,of whom 2 are MUSLIMS".
It is me isn't it?...
 
No,it isn't you,MarkE.This is simply one step along the way to the ultimate multiculti marketing tool,the Eurabian Halal Pork Kebab!

Thielemans reminds me of the archetype collaborator: always sticking with those in power. No doubt he would have gone "nazi" in the 1930's, just like he now instinctively feels that it is ultimately the muslim's who decide what happens and what does not happen in Brussels...
No wonder he is such an excellent socialist and hates the pope and catholics. Indeed, it is totally safe and so popular to spit on the pope. What a coward.
Ed

I can't help but wonder will the next step, after banning protests he doesn't approve of, be making attendance at those he does approve of complusory?
 
PS:
"Christian-Democrats, who have 11 councillors, of whom 2 are Muslims"
It is me isn't it?  I am missing something here?

Despite having the "Freedom of Assembly" in the constitution similar rallies are often denied in the US also.  The US Founding Fathers did a superhuman effort in creating the US Constitution but even this can be worked around by the political elite. Freedom is clearly not the default condition of the human situation.

See for yourselves! He is such a dserving case

It's a bit too easy to turn down such requests Freddy. I know you're concerned with safety and want to prevent violence but there are other means than just forbid a demo. For instance you could ask the organisators to provide you with a recognized insurance contract which covers all damages caused by eventual riots. You can also request that the organisators assure themselves the security and held them responsible for any outbreak of violence. You could assure that eventual counter-demonstrants are providing the same guarantees. From your side, you should make that demonstrants and counter-demonstrants stay well separated.

Belgians vote for their mayors, but after the vote the mayors have to be appointed by the government. It used to be by the King. In the 1930s several municipalities (such as Mol and Geel in the rural Kempen area) elected Flemish-secessionist mayors. The King refused to appoint them. As a result the municipalities were governed by a minority coalition.

"prohibited a demonstration against the Islamization of Europe, planned to be held next September 11 in front of the European Parliament buildings."
 
After I saw the fliers I knew it was just a matter of time.

Oiznop "(P.S. How can you people in Belgium vote for morons like this?).....
"

Belgians vote for their mayors? Wow! How Democratic for Europe. Ours are appointed by the "party" like a good communist country.

Paul Belien: "Thielemans is a member of the Parti Socialiste (PS), a Belgian party which caters for the Muslim population. The PS is the largest party in Brussels, holding 17 of the 47 seats in the city council. 10 of the 17 PS-councillors are Muslims. The PS governs Brussels in a coalition with the Christian-Democrats, who have 11 councillors, of whom 2 are Muslims and 3 are immigrants from Sub-Saharan Africa. Only 13 of the 28 councillors in the governing coalition of the city are native Belgians."
 
This state of affairs arose through measures that were in the main undemocratic and arguably treasonous. However, those individuals and groups behind it are preventing legitimate, majoritarian, democratic and peaceful opposition to their plot to erase the nations of Europe through a combination of ethnolysis and socio-political deconstruction.
 
Paul Belien (on Thielemans): "He is an atheist who is fond of Muslims, not because he respects religious people, but because he hates Christians. On 2 April 2005 the Brussels mayor was attending an official cocktail party with the mayor of Angoulême (France), when the news of the death of Pope John Paul II reached him. On hearing the news he ordered “Champagne for everyone!” His French colleague walked out in disgust. Upsetting Catholics has never particularly worried the Socialist mayor of Brussels, for instance when he refused to ban a play (by a Moroccan-born author) which was advertised around the country on posters portraying the Virgin Mary with bare breasts."
 
Mr. Thielemans is clearly one of an entire international network of Western politicians and bureaucrats aiding and abetting reverse racism (incl. organised violence e.g. swarmings, rapings) as well as singling out Christianity for discrimination and harassment.
 
Paul Belien: "In Mr. Thielemans’s absence his deputy, Algerian-born Faouzia Hariche, is Brussels’ acting mayor – which is an improvement. Hariche, too, obviously, is Muslim-friendly, but she has never publicly toasted the death of the Pope."
 
Ms. Hariche is not an improvement. That traitors can be found on our "side" does not change my opinion of the enemy. Evidently, both our traitors and our opponents have been successful thus far because Europeans refuse to respond in kind. Unfortunately, 20,000 peaceful Belgian demonstrators will barely dent those processes working against them: however, if the organisers were to import the 50,000 skinheads and football hooligans currently running amok with impunity in Russia, the "authorities" would be forced to take note.
 
I am sure that many here, myself included, find Serb paramilitaries, skinheads and football hooligans distasteful. However, who here wants to be the loser of what is clearly a zero-sum game? Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to see law-abiding and hardworking native Europeans reclaim their birthright without the aid of jackboots, but I cannot ignore reality anymore than London and Paris could after September 1939.

And they claim that the EU will be a political,economic and moral rival to the United States of America.Yeah,right!

We dont need this silly major to autorize nothing.
We just have to go there. It has much most flavour this way.
 

...of Italian origin, and proud of this heritage, I wish you luck with your demonstration, and persuading this fool Mayor of Brussels to allow it to go on....Fight for your freedoms, fight the good fight and preserve western culture/civilization.....Before it's too late! Oh, and one other thing...with regard to the Lord Mayor Fat Freddy's comment upon the Pope's passing, here's hoping the champange in hell is bitter and poisonous! (P.S. How can you people in Belgium vote for morons like this?).....
