This must be costing Billions of Euros in france and across Europe.

Al-Reuters at it again. Rather than report it's the Muslims who are causing the trouble, they try to contradict the few French folks who have figured out what the problem really is.

Ahmed Hamidi, a white-bearded Moroccan electrician long resident in France, had no patience with politicians in Paris, which lies hardly an hour away but seems like another planet.

"All the politicians care about are laws for homosexuals and all those immoral things," he fumed. "They are against headscarves, against beards and against the mosques.

Egad. How un-PC. Where's French-looking John Kerry when you need him to explain the disaffection of multi-cultural French citizen Ahmed Hamidi?

Homophobic hippies?

[bonfire]

All that whine and cheese have reduced the collective French IQ.

It wouldn't surprise me if higher ups were organizing this, maybe not Bin Laden but Al Quaeda forces.

". . .to challenge law and order here."

Challenge? It appears they have cornered
the bullfighter and are preparing to castrate
him if the bullfighter does not start protecting
his cojones.

Well, it could be BOTH, you know. I guess the French are not familiar with the term 'catalyst'.

[GSlob]

Well, in the past the French shown a certain proclivity to bloodbaths as the means of social organization (Commune in 1871, French Revolution, or war in Algeria). Resorting to this expedient now may have a very salutary effects, too.

Interesting article. Other recent news articles have claimed that the riots have nothing to do with Islam. but with the poverty of those areas where the riots take place. However, it is would be surprising if drug traffickers and radical Islamists were not taking advantage of what initially probably was spontaneous riots.

Note also the conflict that will take place when leftist PC culture meets Islamic immigration.

"blame unemployment, racial prejudice and widespread youth boredom for the outbursts"

That's never the cause. France is right to look for the "hidden hands" because things like this are ACTIVELY PROMOTED.

I lived through the LA/Rodney King riots. The organizers actually had LA blocked out in grids where they set every other block aflame. The punks on the street are just the minions.

[Eurotwit]

Yay..

I managed singlehandedly to make "flockofbarbarians" appear on the most popular keyword list...

OK.. I need a life ;-)

[Grendel9]

At least organized enough to begin the assaults
AFTER sundown. So where do these "kids" go at
dawn? Home to Mom and Pop's digs? Do they
sleep in the parks? Where is their food
coming from?
After THREE days of this, I'd have labeled them
Mad Dogs run amok, hauled out enough police/
military ammo to do some real damage, and let
the "kids" see some REALITY...their friends'
dead bodies.

[Eurotwit]

Oh,

I see you are deleting it...

I appologize..

[cripplecreek]

Personally I expect that this may cause a split between leftists in Europe and America. It might give the euroleft a different perspective as they watch thier socialist taxes go up in flames.

[syriacus]

Careful examination of his name proves that Bush is behind these riots

BUSH - RUSH- RUST- MUST- MOST- MOOT- ROOT- RIOT

[auboy]

Reuters = BS

Too stupid to realize their heads will be among the first to roll.

France should "borrow" a couple of MOABs.

"All the politicians care about are laws for homosexuals and all those immoral things," he fumed.

Do the leftist pro-gay pro-Islamic PC brigades in the west realize that they hang homosexuals in Iran... and might start doing it in France if they catch them in the streets?

What's a PC pro-gay pro-Islamic leftist to do?
