BOBIGNY, France (Reuters) -- French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy defended his tough crime policies on Monday after a fourth night of riots in a Paris suburb in which tear gas was fired into a mosque.
Sarkozy, addressing police officers, vowed to find how tear gas had been fired into the Muslim place of worship, an incident which had helped fuel the disturbances.
Youths hurled rocks and set fire to cars in the northeastern Clichy-sous-Bois suburb of the French capital, where many immigrants and poor families live in high-rise housing estates notorious for youth violence.

French television said six police officers were hurt and 11 people arrested in violence partly fueled by the incident at the mosque. Sarkozy promised an inquiry.
"I am, of course, available to the imam of the Clichy mosque to let him have all the details in order to understand how and why a tear gas bomb was sent into this mosque," he told about 170 police officers at the prefecture.

they'll porolly blame it on Bush
(With aplomb) "Yes. They are."
Israel or better yet 'Bush's Fault'
Another feather in the cap of multiculturalism.
I recommend grenades. Or artillery. Give 'em a whiff of the grape.
"The Muslims are revolting!"
You Bet! They stink on Ice!
Would someone like to design a new surrender flag? Maybe it can have some Arabic writing on it.
14 million non Americans in your own back yard make your arguments seem, well, weak.......The French are easy to bash, nes pas? LOL! When the latinos throw down in LA, get back to me about immigration issues in France, le bully. LOL!
If you are now taking the position that ALL POSTS MUST DEAL WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, I suggest you get JimRob's approval for your edict.
If you are right, I'll be unsubscribed by the end of the day.
That's a very good question--
Why was tear gas fired into a Mosque?
Machine guns were not available?
-But, the real cause of these riots was Lance Armstrong using EPO during the 1999 Tour.-
Har-har-har!! Oh, Lance...will you never learn?
Well, I was trying to make a point.....that being illegal immigration is a serious problem for many countries.....France, Germany, Britain, Netherlands and the US. Bashing France because they're French has become a passtime on FR. Whatever floats your boat.....every Frenchman isn't a socialist any more than every American is a democrat, regardless of what the MSM tells you.
Hey, what's up with France lately? Did someone like spill Bernaise sauce on a Koran over there or something?
Hey Chirac... you better surrender, and fast!
Obviously France hasn't learned to deal with "insurgents"!
Muslims, French, and Socialists...what a hellhole
Hey...we are all one world!
C-c-c-can't we all just get along?
C'mon everyone...let's join hands and sing Kumbayah!
Ready???
HIT IT!
I posted something similar in another thread. Riots in Paris for 4 nights and we don't he a peep until today.
