Ramadan meal row 'prompted German fire' at Duesseldorf shelter

Source: BBC

German investigators believe a dispute over Ramadan meals led to a fire that gutted a shelter for 282 asylum seekers in the western city of Duesseldorf.

They say a group of men who were not fasting had complained that their lunch portions were too small.

Two North African men, aged 26, have been arrested and charged with arson.

The hall was destroyed at a major Duesseldorf convention centre close to the city's airport. Damage has been estimated at €10m ($11m; £8m).

The hall was acting as an accommodation hub for men mainly from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and North Africa who were waiting to be sent elsewhere in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Somehow I think burning the place down is not the most effective way to register your displeasure.

Violence, assaults against women, now arson and destruction of a facility.

Enough is enough.

Burning the place down, not so much.

They bought themselves a pig in a poke over there.
