As extreme-right groups threaten to take Molenbeek neighborhood by storm Saturday, April 2, community leaders fear its predominantly Muslim young people will fight back. “They don’t trust the police and they aren’t going to take it,” said Fouad Ben Abdelkader, a teacher in the neighborhood. On Thursday he joined a meeting of a couple dozen community leaders and mentors to neighborhood youths who feel adrift in mainstream Belgian society. The group of community organizers was looking for ways to head off an escalation of violence in the largely Muslim neighborhood, hoping to avoid a situation like occurred last Sunday when hundreds of black-clad hooligans shouting Nazi slogans disrupted a memorial at Brussels’ Bourse square for the 32 victims of the March 22 attacks on the airport and subway system.
