So, anyone want to take bets on how long it'll be before the French surrender to the "peace-loving" muslims?

The Bastille

It's bad FReeper etiquette to talk about someone, and not ping them to the thread.

;-P

CLICHY-SOUS-BOIS : “Un Bakon halal ou un double Koull Cheese ?”: au spacieux et coquet “Beurger King Muslim” récemment ouvert entre deux cités de Clichy-sous-Bois, les employées peuvent garder leur voile et les familles déguster des burger halal à toutes les sauces. actement le système et le décor du fast-food à l’américaine.

These aren't riots..they are an insurrection

No, no, no. You have to use the proper european phraseology. They're Freedom Fighters.

[KosmicKitty]

Doesn't the cop in the front of this picture look like Jacque Fraud Kerrie??

[syriacus]

Maybe the young men were attempting to illegally tap the power lines

Bring back the "National Razor."

Two kids died. They weren't actually being chased by police, but that's the word that got out and about.
That sparked a riot.

Notice, please, that things have been burnt and stones thrown, but there have not been killings. The youths throw rocks and burn things, which happens in other places without it being the end of civilization as we know it,[http://www.freep.com/news/locway/angels31e_20051031.htm],
but in the French tradition, nobody is getting killed. This is not a case of pitched battles with firearms between the police and the Sarassin hordes, no matter how many times that is spun.

This is an angry street protest that has gone wild, but it has not crossed the line into killings. That is probably the most important thing to see.

The police will obviously continue to be present and place pressure upon all such disturbances, but the solution is to have a variety of sham talks so that people calm down and go back home (but the police stay, so that there are no victory marches and the like), and then return to normalcy. Actually fixing such places is impossible. No civilization has ever managed it, and none will.

Intelligence services, of course, will press further against Islamist clerics, to make sure that street actions do not turn into deadly attacks.

The anti-immigrant right will gain in stature electorally now. Watch Philippe de Villiers.

In previous posts you always said their was no organized Islamic "underground" to oppose the Authorities. Looks like you were right. Kinda looks like a rite of passage for the Muzzie yutes.

[jwalburg]

A little like Kerry and a little like Le Beau on Hogan's Heroes.

[capt. fishsticks]

...hate to say it, but the fwench are entitled to a great big: "told you so"...yeah, appeasement and tolerance is the way to negotiate with this evil cult of hating anything that isn't islam...

[investigateworld]

I agree, appeasement is a fool's gambit. But I noticed that the "yutes" are confining their activities to their own areas. Based on population estimations, there's prolly a million members of TROP who are 14 to 35 YOA. Obviously those numbers are not showing up on the streets. If it spills out and the members of TROP start pulling innocent people out from their vehicles ala Reginald Denny, the flics will pound heads with vigor.
The French government will then appear to be 'responding' vs. just letting a few youngsters have a little fun.
But It's My Opinion Only, and I'm pinging a FReeper with better guestimations
