PARIS - Dozens of vehicles were set ablaze in a sixth night of rioting in poor Paris suburbs, officials said on Wednesday, as youth unrest caused mounting strains within Frances conservative government.
A heavy police presence kept a tense order in Clichy-sous-Bois, where the clashes broke out last week after two teenagers of African origin were electrocuted while apparently fleeing the police.

It takes really deep reading of this piece (of caca) to determine the religion of the rioters, almost as if Reuters has a style book that says "Muslim" is a forbidden word.

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin urged a return to calm on Tuesday evening after meeting families of the two youths along with Sarkozy, his main political rival now under heavy fire for his tough line against the rioters. Interior Minister Sarkozy calls the rioting Islamics what they are - "scum" - and gets attacked for it. Welcome to the end, France.

".....clashes broke out last week after two teenagers of African origin were electrocuted while apparently fleeing the police"
"African origin" They are from North Africa and are Islamic as are many, many of these suburbs around Paris. I am surprised that the police were even there as what I have read they will not go into some of the Islamic sections because they are afraid.

"...almost as if Reuters has a style book that says "Muslim" is a forbidden word." I believe that you've nailed it.

From the article:
The unrest in the eastern suburbs, heavily populated by North African and black African minorities, was sparked by youths frustration at their failure to get jobs and recognition in French society.
Still no mention of the rioters' religious affilliation.
And I thought the rioting was about the two 'youths' electricuted themselves when supposedly running from the police? Now it's about jobs and recognition?
Incomplete reporting and story evolution.

Squabbling broke out within Villepins government when Equal Opportunities Minister Azouz Begag openly criticized Sarkozy for calling the protesting youths scum. They have a position called Equal Opportunities Minister? No wonder they are doomed to lose this fight.

What is it about the MSM that they will not report a story or come out with breaking news untill the AP or Reuters comes out with it first. It is almost as if they are afraid to report anything first untill it comes over the wire from those two sources.

Hey! It's still "youths" - and there still aren't any pictures of the Muslim lunatics torching Paris.
Odd, ain't it, when the news is so very liberal, so very PC?
To: libstripper
"as youth unrest" Couldn't be the ROP could it?

Always looking at things, and asking questions.

France will be an Islamic state in 30 years.
Frenchmen and women will routinely be beheaded in public squares for their refusal to play by the Islamic sick cult's rules.

I think that it has more to do with race than religion. There's still active discrimination against African immigrants in the areas of employment, education, etc., so it isn't surprising that there'd be race rights in the great "liberal" hope to the world.. Snark off.
