Paris riots spread throughout north-east Posted at 8:20pm on 3 Nov 2005
Violence broke out in impoverished Paris suburbs for the seventh straight night, with rioters clashing with police and leaving a trail of torched cars and vandalised buildings.
Observers are pointing to France's failure to address deep problems of poverty and immigration, including tensions with its Muslim minority.
In Aulnay-sous-Bois in the worst-affected area of Seine-Saint-Denis, a police station was briefly besieged by gangs of youths while a gymnasium and a garage were set ablaze and a commercial centre vandalised.
A total of 40 vehicles, including two buses, were torched before midnight in nine towns in the Seine-Saint-Denis area, a high-unemployment largely-immigrant region. Police made 15 arrests.
Two primary schools were also damaged in the area northeast of the French capital.
The riots started last Thursday following the accidental electrocution of two youths, aged 15 and 17, who had scaled an electrical relay station's walls to escape a police identity check in Clichy-sous-Bois.
The firing of a police tear gas grenade against a mosque in Clichy-sous-Bois during clashes on Sunday also sparked rage in the suburb's large Muslim community.

Key word "Muslim". Where ever three's a Mooselimb there's either terrorism or some form of violence. They need to either change their religion or cease to exist. When are people going to realize that Islam teaches total disregard for life. Islam is the cult of death.

Remember the 60's movie, Is Paris Burning? (It was a line spoken by a Nazi general, wondering if his orders to torch Paris to a crisp were being followed.)

Q. How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris?
A. Can't say, Its never been tried before.
Looks like France may become the first muslim country with a nuclear arsenal. GWB may have to go pre-emptive on them.

France to Let Rioters Govern Themselves
After seven nights of riots by youth in predominantly-Muslim sections of Paris, French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin (who is a man) announced today that police would pull out of areas where dozens of cars burn each night to let the freedom-fighting insurgents govern themselves.
Just like the United States should not force democracy upon Muslims in Iraq, said Mr. de Villepin, we should not impose our own provincial thinking about the so-called rule of law on Muslim immigrants who have established a homeland in Paris.
Were withdrawing our occupation forces immediately.

This is a joke, right?
Will they allow their own country to burn just to stick it to President Bush?

Sarkozy elected president?! The surrender monkeys electing someone like him would really be a miracle.
Pro-America, pro-NATO. It's gonna hurt (think intellectuals flinging themselves out windows after writing an opus) but they're going to have to do it or just surrender their property and women to the Muslim horde.
Given their choice here, I won't make any bets on the outcome. We may yet see a Crescent flag flying from the Eiffel.

Large numbers of illegal Mexicans have, however, committed crimes including murder and have formed gangs like the muslims in France. There are significant numbers of elected officials in the US who have instituted programs and actions in connection with Mexicans which mirror which mirror the appeasement of the muslims by the French government.
This is why we see so few reports on this that talk about France in terms of illegal immigrants and their Religion Of PeaceTM.
It would invite ready comparisons to the situtation here in the U.S. We are seeing relatively isolated signs of it already but it could become just as bad in some American cities as it is in Paris now in the next decade.

The term she uses, 'sensitive area,' is the PC euphemism for these places where anything representing a Western institution (post office truck, firemen, even mail order delivery firms, and of course cops) is routinely ambushed with Molotov cocktails, and where war weapons imported from the Muslim part of Yugoslavia are routinely found.
The continuing Clinton legacy: the destruction of western Europe by the ethnic-cleansing narcoterrorists of Bosnia.
During the run-up to the 2000 election, both McCain and Bush went on record supporting Clinton's efforts to destroy Christians in this region and elevate the Muslim element who had been radicalized by the Wahabbist missionary efforts of (you guessed it) the Saudis.
It's worth remembering, I think.

You know, Villepain looks just like that guy on Queer Eye. Does he have a second secret career in case his gig of acting like a French leader falls through?
