In Carpentras, two fire bombs were hurled at a mosque...

Hmmm. Don't understand that at all.

Smoke damage to the facade, because zeal was flagging. Just a minimal investment to reenergize the troops.

This is the crap the French police are being forced to deal with - open taunting and provocation by the Muslim thugs...

This is the best thing that has happened on the continent since Charles Martel and Jan Sobieski.

Do not forget the unknown Scotsman that made the first single malt whiskey.

C: The rioters torched their own mosque so they can fan the flames some more.

I will opt for choice "C" also with one minor adjustment.

C: The rioters torched their own mosque with superficial damage so they can fan the flames some more.

There, that's probably more complete.

...it would really help matters if alternative religious leaders could emerge in Europe, and regain some moral authority.

Now there's the real point. However, I wonder if we aren't so near the end that the vacuum of leadership can only be filled by the Holy Spirit.

Incrementalism to be sure...how sucessful it will be is any mans guess... I take nothing off the table either way because they certainly do have a punchers chance considering how mired the west is in their high minded PC mindset.

"Losing grip? Good God,the man never had a grip in the first place."

But will the kool aid socialist liberals see this in any way as an indictment of their approach to government? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

That would be against their operating procedure, which dictates that when confronted with failure, blame your enemies and then do more of the same that created the mess in the first place.

Come to think of it, Islamic nations follow the same procedures.

"FRANCE yesterday ordered a ban on public meetings likely to provoke disturbances as thousands of police were deployed on the streets of Paris to stop youths"

The MSM can say "youths," but that ignores gender. None of the rioters are female...which pokes a big hole into the "poor unemployed are rioting" theory (what, no females are unemployed in a France that has 11% national unemployment?!).

This is not a trivial point. In France's 1968 riots, many, perhaps even most, rioters were female.

Not so today.

...And the failure of the news media to discuss this difference in rioting gender between 1968 and today causes all of their so-called "analysis" to be suspect.

"Only it wouldn't be the same here. Americans would start shooting the mf's. Which would horrify the MSM even more."

You know, Michael Savage said the Soccer Thugs may well save England. That the rednecks would do the same thing here in the US.

If riots broke out on our shores, these people would be, in part, our saviors. If the left didn't crucify them before they took care of business.

And they would take care of business. I know boys out here in Wyoming and Montana who would wipe the floor with a bunch of punks trying to pull what they're doing in France now. Just up to the top of a building and mount the scope... no more rioters.

I think that the point about the Soccer Thugs being able to save England would have served well a few years ago, but now, I'm not too sure

Yes, indeed. Kerry should rush to Paris and salute his pal..."Reporting for duty, Monsieur Chirac!" Two peas in a pod.

If Chirac were serious about stopping the burning he would have ordered the national police to shoot those who throw firebombs.
Since he didn't order this, he is responsible for the loss of property and the ability of many Frenchmen to earn their living.
But then, Chirac is a socialist, so tout s'explique ! (it is all explained!)
