POTENTIAL HOT SPOTS: France Is Burning
Items About Areas That Could Break Out Into War
November 1, 2005: France is burning. For most of the last week, there have been nasty riots in the Parisian suburb of St Denis, complete with fires and many casualties. This area is home to about 500,000 Moslems. Many largely Moslem suburbs of Paris, and other large cities, have become no-go zones for the police, and anyone who is not of Middle Eastern origin. Over the last three decades, generous social benefits and immigration policies have left France with a Moslem population of some five million (about eight percent of the population.) High rise housing for them was built on the outskirts of major cities. Most of these Moslems did not try to assimilate, and by maintaining their old country culture and language, they made it more difficult for their kids to get jobs. Among the old school customs practiced is attacking, and even murdering, girls who do not conform to a "Moslem" style of behavior. While jobs may be lacking, crime and social welfare payments are not. So peop! le can live without jobs, and make a little extra with some crime on the side. But when you have a lot of people participating in, or just condoning, criminal behavior, you have a very dangerous place for outsiders. Officially, the government condemns this sort of "profiling," but a look at crime statistics shows that high rates of robbery, murder and rape tend to coincide with Moslem areas. There are unofficial maps on the Internet, where French citizens can check about where not to get lost the next time they go for a drive.
Meanwhile, the high crime rates in the Moslem neighborhoods has been spilling over into non-Moslem areas, and there has been a major outbreak of anti-Semitic attacks on Jews, and Jewish targets (synagogues, cemeteries, Etc.). It's not only become embarrassing for the government, but it's become a political issue. So the Interior Ministry has established special police units to try and reduce the crime rate in the Moslem areas. That has led to the recent rioting, arson, injuries, and advice by French traditionalists to just ignore the French Moslems. Leave them alone. Ignore them. Just like France has been doing for decades. Let the counter-terrorism police take care of any hotheads. But for the moment, the Interior Ministry is run by law-and-order types, and they are determined to at least own the streets in Moslem areas. So France burns.
"France is about to learn a very painful lesson."
I seriously doubt they will learn anything.
No---it's a cancer, and the cure for those is well known.
"If they even indicate they want us to help them with their little vermin problem, we should make the lives of our congressmen absolute HELL"
The world is a complicated place, and here is a complication: The French have nuclear capabilities. Once the muslims take power, it will mean a nuclear capable muslim state.
FYI
I hope the French act "multi"-lateral in this situation! They need to ask the EU or UN for permission!

We have less than 500,000 muslims in Canada at this time, hopefully it stays at that number.

"We don't condone violence, BUT ..."
France is now learning the lesson about fleas and dogs.
It's one that the Americans had best heed before the same thing crosses the Atlantic.
Puts a different spin on the problem because it highlights this as a cultural clash, not just some pissed-off kids.
The French people love their Paris. If it is desecrated in any way they WILL get angry. To them Paris is like, well, Mecca........how ironic.............City of Light?
"This area is home to about 500,000 Moslems.

The simple, practical solution would be to boot 'em all out of the country. But being so "enlightened", they won't do it."
Unfortunately, we in America are just as "enlightened"...
:(
"Where is Charles Martel when you need him?"
LOL - that's a good one. I wonder if France can save itself and produce another.
"If it is desecrated in any way they WILL get angry."
Yes, yes, the French will get very angry. They will say nasty words. They'll grumble. They may even kick their dogs...
Then they'll go buy their Korans, and burkas and prayer rugs and learn to be at home in Francistan.
Well, I'm here if you guys need some help. :-}
Ahhh swiss cheese made out of UN helmets.
