The Sydney Morning Herald: Dozens of cars have been smashed and 14 people injured in riots by Muslim immigrants angered at the alleged defacement of a Koran by a Greek policeman.
Police on Friday fired tear gas and stun grenades at hundreds of protesters outside parliament and elsewhere in the Athens city centre. The government said 46 protesters were arrested and 75 cars were damaged.
Chanting “God is great!” and waving leather-bound copies of Islam’s holy book, about 1,500 Muslim immigrants – mostly young men – marched to parliament in the centre of Athens to express their anger. The clashes occurred after the protest had dwindled to about 300 people.
