Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday defended his tough crime policies against claims they helped increase tension after a fourth night of rioting in a Paris suburb in which tear gas was fired into a mosque.

"...where many immigrants and poor families live in high-rise housing estates notorious for youth violence..."

I wonder how many wife-burning muslims are participating in this?

The French I work with here in the USA know that the Muslims are a major problem. They are in shock in a "Oh my G-D what have we done?".. sense of way.

Ha! Good one. Why don't they remind us how culturally insenstive we are and demonstrate their 'humanitarian indignation' at our war on terror? I don't understand.

I've seen several stories on this and this is the FIRST one that mentions Muslims or Mosque in the first paragraph. It's almost as if the press doesn't want to point out that the rioters are Muslims.

With respect to immigration or triggering the riots?

They seem to put themselves in that predicament on a fairly regular basis. Of course we will soon be joining them.

Sorry, don't understand, do you mean they are still stuck in appeasement mode? They think if they avoid offending Hitler Islam that they will be left alone?

Or do they support the interior minster's harder approach?

Considering the success of the Gaza Strip, maybe Condi could advise Paris to surrender the Eiffel Tower.
