"cars were sometimes festively burnt on Christmas and New Year’s Day"
"between 20 and 40 cars were burnt out every night in France"
WTF. What's the statistics for nightly burnt cars here in the US?

I wasn't aware the French were rioting I thought it was a bunch of muslims or am I being unPC?

He's beginning to sound a bit like Steyn ! Not to take anything away from the article, but maybe the irony of the whole situation is becoming so obvious that it is easy to do so....
