GRIGNY, France - Youths fired at police and hurled flaming Molotov cocktails at churches, schools, cars and a daycare center as violence peaked in an 11th night of unrest in France, sending a “shock wave across the country,” the national police chief said Monday.

Vandals burned 1,408 vehicles across France, setting a new high for overnight arson attacks since the unrest started Oct. 27, Michel Gaudin told a news conference. The figure was an increase from the 1,295 vehicles torched the night before.

The country’s biggest Muslim fundamentalist organization, the Union for Islamic Organizations of France, issued a fatwa, or religious decree. It forbade all those “who seek divine grace from taking part in any action that blindly strikes private or public property or can harm others.”

This sounds a lot like what the late and unlamented Yasser Arafat would do after one of his subhumans would blow himself up in an Israeli club and condemn the violence.

Dialogue. Definitely dialogue.

Hey, the RATE of increase has hit an inflection point! Chirac's tough talk must be working!!! :^S

Well at least France is the place to be if you are a car salesman. Maybe the Muslims will allow the French to withdraw to the southwest of France and set up a new "Vichy". The good news is that some of the Parisians saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Le Geico...

MSM: "This story is trying to push Libby's indictment off of the front pages. The French have to do something otherwise we will lose our momentum to hurt BUSH. We need to hold off this story as much as possible until we tell Chirac our dilema..."

They can take thier empty Fatwa and shove it . . .

"that blindly strikes" makes the whole thing useless as these "riots" are planned!

France, you deseve this with everything that's thrown at you. You elected this corrupt pick Chiraq, and just sat back while most of the rest of the world fights terrorism.

You sit back in your smug little corner of the world bitchin and moaning about an UNJUST war and now your gonna be forced to do what the US told you would have to do at some point! The only thing is, now your going to HAVE to do it in your own backyard...

Now get your smug little prickish asses out there and clean your country out!

Youths?


As in the words of the Judge played by (Fred Gwynne) in the movie My Cousin Vinney, "WHAT'S A YOOT?"

These are not "youths", these are radical Islamic murderous punks living in a welfare state who do not want to assimilate with other not of their kind, who detest the people and the laws of the country they immigrated too, who because of the welfare state are not expected to better their lives and have responsibility.

And now a little about the welfare state called France. - It was France who connived with human-rights champions China and Cuba to toss the United States off the UN Human Rights Commission, with Sudan taking America's place. America it seemed has lost favor among all these third World Gimmie States. But who cities are burning? Fires caused by former citizens of the Gimmie States.
