The Fire This Time

Years of racism and neglect explode in a week of riots across France's mostly Muslim immigrant ghettos.

Word of the deaths spread quickly through Clichy-sous-Bois, a grim collection of housing projects an hour by train and bus from the center of Paris. Two teenage boys had been electrocuted while trying to hide near a transformer. Rumor said they were running from police. Soon, dozens of angry young men came from the soulless high-rises looking for cops to fight and cars to burn on streets named, as it happens, for heroes of French culture: Boulevard Emile Zola, Allee Albert Camus, Rue Picasso. Dead white men. "It's Baghdad here," the rioters shouted. By the end of that first night, Oct. 27, police would count 15 cars torched and six arrests. No firefighters or cops were injured and authorities claimed the situation was stabilized. But they were very wrong.

Night after night last week rage spread through the ghettos that ring Paris, then beyond—to the slums of Dijon in Burgundy, Rouen in Normandy, Toulouse, Rennes, Marseilles. When, on the fourth night, a tear-gas canister exploded near the entrance to a warehouselike mosque in Clichy-sous-Bois, forcing hundreds of worshipers to flee barefoot and gagging into Place Anatole France, a new cry went up from the vandals. "Now this is war," said one. Others cried "jihad."

It was neither, in fact, and the Paris known to tourists was not burning. It was far from the city center that cars and dumpsters were incinerated, buses attacked with Molotov cocktails and hundreds of arrests made. Police said gangs were increasingly organized, using the Internet and cell-phone text messages to coordinate. Dozens of people were injured and shots were fired at police; on Friday night alone nearly 900 cars were torched nationwide.

But at the weekend, no one had been killed. The Los Angeles riots of 1992, by contrast, claimed the lives of more than 50 people.

Hey idiot...55 lives but the riot was over in 6 days (I was there).

"It was neither, in fact, and the Paris known to tourists was not burning."

Not yet.

[Steely Tom]

I heard the 19 hijackers of the 9-11 civilian-filled flying bombs were the product of the grim Mercedes-Benzes of Ridyah and the soulless indoor swimming pools of Mecca.

I don't have the stomach to read the whole article from Newsweek International, but I would like to know: does it include the phrase "wake-up call"?

(steely)

[ncountylee]

"wake-up call"?

Your're kidding?

[wildcatf4f3]

dickey is one of "them"

""Now this is war," said one. Others cried "jihad."

That's all it ever was. It's not about "poverty and "neglected Muslim Immigrants", It's about Islam, and what happens everywhere they reach saturation point. They riot and destroy the host country, turning it into a 3rd world Islamic hellhole. Indonesia, The Sudan, Nigeria, The Philippines, Somolia, India etc etc. Whereever Islam goes, so does death, destruction, riots, bombing, every tactic possible, used to win appeasement which never brings calm for very long.

[Prime Choice]

In the minds of Leftists across the world, the riots in France are a stark reminder only that France hasn't bent over backwards enough for the Islamofascist scourge. And now they are being punished for it.

Just wait...they'll say it in as many words soon.

Careful. Keep talking sense like that and you'll be branded a purveyor of "hate speech" by the effete elite. After all, they argue, Islam (which means submission) is really about "peace" and "tolerance"!

[Diogenez]

It's time this wealthy nation shared a few crumbs of the oil wealth it sucked out of Saddam's Iraq - hundreds of billions of Francs in weapons sales and exclusive oil concessions - with these suffering put-upon people. Not to mention the millions taken from food for oil that went to Chirac's friends and associates.

All you need to read to know Dickey is just another Marxist pig with a college diploma.

It's Bush's fault- somehow, The du tin hatters are coming out in full force

I find it very suspicious.
This seems like an allout attack on the whole country. And very organized. Not something a groups of immigrants could do on their own.

And of course, It because of poverty and poor treatment of Islamic immigrants, MSM has that angle covered as well. It's the same old "normal" lunatic rantings over at DUmmie land.

Those idiots just haven't a clue what's really going on in the world. Rightwingers will no doubt use this to claim that Muslims are crazy and that's why we need to fight them. And of course, they will be thrilled that Muslims are attacking France, who couldn't see how 'right Bush was to fight them over there etc.'. I'm getting more and more suspicious about it, to be honest. I hope the French get to who's behind this. wookie294 (1000+ posts) Sun Nov-06-05 12:31 AM

The CIA has financed riots in the past.
Is this Bush's declaration of war on France? Anything's possible with sinking poll numbers.

Yes, a French judge is investigating Halliburton bribes in Nigeria
The bribes were paid when Cheney was CEO of Halliburton. More here....

Never will they admi socialism fails over and over again in Europe, causing wars and mass death. Islam is going to take advantage of it this time around.

Those idiots just haven't a clue what's really going on in the world.

LMAO! One of those idiota says Jimmy Carter secretly created and financed the Taliban to create an international terrorist movement that would spread Islamic fundamentalism in Central Asia and "de-stabilise" the Soviet Union.

These people are really off the deep end. Jimmy Carter wasn't smart enough to tie his own shoes. As one Freeper pointed out a long time ago-
"Jimmy Carter's mother has the two biggest Boobs in America-Jimmy and Billy".

Retarded DUmmie comments

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Man, that is funny.

[Pontiac]

Just like Newsweek. Blame government when people do something stupid and violent.

Maybe these riots are caused by a few months of inflammatory rhetoric spewed by a few Islamic fundamentalist rabble-rousers.

Call me a rightwing extremist if you like but if the French government is to be accused of neglect in these riots it is in neglecting to put a prompt end to them.

The first responsibility of the police is protecting life and property. Second is maintain peaceful order.

The French are failing miserably on both.

[syriacus]

for heroes of French culture: Boulevard Emile Zola, Allee Albert Camus, Rue Picasso. Dead white men.

"Dead white men"??? What does Dickey mean by this comment? Is he implying that the mooligans could not learn anything from the lives of these men?

Camus was born in Algiers, came from a poor background, fought tuberculosis his whole life, and didn't move to France until he was 25.

Camus's mother..., was an illiterate cleaning woman... from a family of Spanish origin. ...his father, was an itinerant agricultural laborer who died when Camus was 1 year old.
