AS THE night falls, the "troubles" start — and the pattern is always the same.
Bands of youths in balaclavas start by setting fire to parked cars, break shop windows with baseball bats, wreck public telephones and ransack cinemas, libraries and schools. When the police arrive on the scene, the rioters attack them with stones, knives and baseball bats.

Fools. The French should consider themselves fortunate to have only riots and not planes flying into buildings.
If and when this ends, I can't wait to see if we still get treated to the famous French smug superiority we've had to put up with since 911. They're clueless about what to do about rioting religious fanatics and they're going to tell us not to fight a war against these people?
Somebody should write a conspiracy theory book under the pen-name "Terry Mason" about how the French actually instigated the riots so they would have an excuse to hammer their minority (note the lack of plural).
The Post requires registering. Want to give a clue or two about the rest of the article? Just a hint or so?
The world's nations are being taught a simple lesson. Fewer muslims=fewer problems. Steps can be taken on a national level.
Anyway, the article basically gives the genesis of the rioting: some kids were in the process of stealing parts of cars, somebody called the ineffective French police, who usually never go into this section of town, to report the crime, the cops show up, the kids take off, two of them hide in an area that housed a power pylon and was cordoned off, and were electrocuted.
After that, bands of Muslim youths took to the streets, shouting "God is great", and demanding that the French police leave the area.
The article then goes on to narrate how the French have never required that the Muslims who immigrate to France assimilate, and now, with unassimilated Muslims demanding to be allowed to set up their own religious "justice systems" combined with the weakness of the French government, the country of France now finds itself with a huge problem with no apparent way out.
Which brings me to the conclusion that those who live in glass houses.....these are the people who screamed the loudest against the war on terror, and now they find themselves nearly overrun by the enemy.
Conclusion? Just deserts for some sanctimonious hypocrites.
The Muslims are not assimilating.
They have taken over certain areas, chasing out the native French, and want French authorities to stay out.
By the way, I use bugmenot.com. It hasn't failed yet.
I agree, it's too late now. As you said, they are taking out the schools and police stations. Time is on their side from this point on..
Is it time for water cannons or rubber bullits???
After all, it appears as though they are winning.
When Chirac comes to us on his knees, we can send over Cindy Sheehan to fix the problem.
It seems clear to me that there are simply not enough daycares in Paris for the poor.
John Kerry phone home!
Thanks - there was an article on FR today (I didn't read it tho') that bugmenot was down. I'll bookmark it.
bugmenot.com just failed me twice on this one
Thank you very much for the synopsis. Interesting about the Mohammedan shouts, demands for religious (quote unquote) justice system - these were not mentioned in any of the other articles I've read. Most of what I've read made it sound as though any Mohammendanism was just happenstance.
Including the Dalrymple article - Barbarians at the gates. Of course, it was written a couple of years ago, but gave a lot of highly interesting background.
there was a news report, ie,the only one ive heard about his in eight days about a group of muslims yutes confronting police in front of a SYNAGOGUE. gee, why did i suspect this was going to happen? otoh, if you are jewish and stupid enough to stay in france, you probably need to vacation in iran just to verify your lunacy.
Nope time for real cannons and real bullets.
This is the perfect opportunity for the leftists to prove once and for all, despite the record established by the leftist god, Bill Clinton, that all-out, no-holes-barred, shameless butt-kissing of Islamist terrorists is the way to stop terrorism.
This is their rare chance to prove us utterly wrong- that the fact that we haven't been hit by terrorists since 911 is just an illusion-killing the scum hasn't saved us at all- and as a matter of fact, 911 was staged by George Bush to justify an illegal war.
This is their chance. Get Cindy, Howard, Ted, Harry, Nancy, Michael, Dan and all the rest on the next plane to Paris. We can bring the troops home now!
