After days of striving mightily to disguise the fact that the rioters were Muslims, the story is finally leaking out to the extent that even CNN (I know, I know) has to mention it.

These highrise housing "estates" refered to in the article are the slums built by the French to hid the Muslims out of sight of main stream Paris.

The war in/for france is starting.

Note to France: Don't expect any American troops.

[kromike]

Surely the French can defend their own country, right? (Snicker...snort...cough...)

[cchandler]

Soon the BBC will pick up the story. They'll probably blame the riots on Israel.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Remnants of the Ayatollah Khomeini. Hiding this purveyor of hatred if finally coming back to bite the French in the keister.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of weeners.

I'm sure John "Francous" Kerry will suggest his security plan:

We admit we were wrong. We have once again run up the white flag. But, the real cause of these riots was Lance Armstrong using EPO during the 1999 Tour. This is the real reason for these riots. It was not our policies. These people were upset Armstrong used EPO. /sarcasm still on.

[emiller]

This is really going to tarnish the image that most people have of muslims...

Ha ha just kidding.

[Dallas59]

France ain't seen the last of it...it's only the beginning..

[farlander]

Unfortunately, I think we'll *have* to bail their bacon out again. Can't let Europe fall.

Actually, all kidding aside, the French are not weak on anti-terrorism at all. They're just *huge* hypocrites. They have some of the most extensive anti-terrorism powers laws on the books. And the French gendarmes have no qualms about physical force. It's just that it didn't suit their egos that USA would attain even more power by dominating middle east directly. So they chose opposition to the war, to the detriment of their own security. But don't mistake them for being weak on internal policing - they don't mess around. Problem is during the 80s they let it go too far. Now they're paying the price. And we will probably have to contribute to this...

Note to France: Don't apologize for using tear gas in the mosque. It is a good idea. Poison right in the ants' nest, that's where you put it.

[ozoneliar]

Does anybody have stats that project at what point France will have a muslim majority?

The war in/for france is starting.

Note to France: Don't expect any American troops.

This is just an initial skirmish. The real battle won't start for a few more years. When it does, France will be destroyed or become Islamic (or both).

But, since France has chosen to be our enemy, why should we care?

[bert]

....Sarkozy, addressing police officers, vowed to find how tear gas had been fired into the Muslim place of worship...

The best course is to mimic Janet Reno and claim it didn't happen and even if it did, they fired first.

Where is Inspector Clouseau when you need him?

The war in/for france is starting.

With all due respect, you may bash the French all you like....after we seal our own southern border.

[Mo1]

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.

After the 4TH NIGHT???

I've heard squat about this in the media

[RJL]

Sarkozy, addressing police officers, vowed to find how tear gas had been fired into the Muslim place of worship armory, an incident which had helped fuel the disturbances.

A little help with the translation.

[firebrand]

Nicolas Sarkozy, France's David Dinkins.

[Cinnamon]

they'll porolly blame it on Bush

"The Muslims are revolting!"

(With aplomb) "Yes. They are."
