اليونان: العصابات النازية تستهدف إمام مسلمي اليونان

- خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

في إطار ارتفاع وتيرة الاعتداءات على المسلمين والأجانب باليونان، نظمت المجموعات اليمينية وعناصر حزب "فجر اليمين الذهبي" المتطرف مسيرةً مناهضة للتواجد الإسلامي والمهاجرين بـ"اليونان".

وقد استهدفت العناصر المتطرفة منزل السيد "شهباز صديقي" (البالغ 42 عامًا) إمام مسلمي "اليونان" الذين يبلغ عددهم نحو 500 ألف مسلم، والذي أكد أن العناصر المتطرفة ذهبت للبحث عنه بالمسجد ولم تجده، وأكد ذهابه للشرطة 3 مرات تلك الليلة، إلا أن ضابط التحقيق لم يلتفت لشكواه، وأكد أن "اليونان" بها قانونان أحدهما لأهلها والآخر للمهاجرين.

وقد أظهر أحد مقاطع الفيديو عناصر اليمين أثناء إحداث فوضى وشغب بمنطقة المهاجرين، والقيام بتكسير المحلات والمتاجر والممتلكات. المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

A Fascist party in full cry. Black-shirts smashing migrants' homes. Swastikas on the streets. No, not Germany in the Thirties: Greece 2012

Dressed in black shirts with faces hidden by helmets, ten men on motorbikes came to find him on a Saturday, after darkness fell.

Finding the door bolted at his home in a pot-holed Athens side street, they smashed the windows, broke in and trashed the place. Then, their dirty work done, the neo-Nazi gang roared away into the hot evening. It had taken less than a minute for them to sound an ugly warning that foreigners were not welcome in Greece.

Their target was Imam Shahbaz Siddiqi, a 42-year-old spiritual leader of the Greek capital’s 500,000 Muslims. ‘I was at the mosque praying when they searched for me the other night,’ he told me yesterday. ‘I thank God for that, or else I might now be dead.

During the night I went three times to the police station to report the break-in. At the desk I was told that the officers did not have time to investigate my complaint. They were too busy. There is one law for the Greek people and another for us immigrants.’

The attack on Imam Siddiqi is the latest racist outrage by neo-Nazis in a country riddled with xenophobia. In an era of crushing debt and poverty, the immigrant is blamed for almost every Greek ill.

On the same weekend, a young Pakistani immigrant, Hussein Abbas, was viciously attacked outside his home in Elefsina on the outskirts of Athens by the men in dark shirts. He ended up in hospital, his face smashed to a bloody pulp.

So dangerous are the streets for foreigners that the U.S. State Department has sent out a warning to dark-skinned American visitors that they must be careful of their safety when they leave their hotels.

A shocking internet video shows leaders of the anti-immigrant Far-Right Golden Dawn party — which has 18 MPs — marching into an ethnic street market at Rafina, an hour’s drive from Athens, destroying the stalls with wooden clubs and scattering the merchandise to the ground.

‘We found a few illegal immigrants selling their wares without permits,’ says Giorgos Germenis, one of the party’s MPs. ‘We did what our party has to do and then went to church to pay respects to the Madonna.’

Of course, it is not just immigrants who are subject to the fury of the Greek masses. Last week German Chancellor Angela Merkel visited Athens to taunts from 50,000 protesters, many waving swastikas and dressed in Nazi uniforms.
