Anybody want to speculate why the Canadian Press is using a "calm" headline when all the other stories make it sound like it's getting worse?

Maybe they are afraid the ragheads there will get a "good idea"!

Must be due to calls to prayer and a Class V upload at the local mosques.

The teenagers - Bouna Traore, 15, and Zyed Benna, 17 - were killed Oct. 27 while hiding from police in a power substation. Youths in their neighbourhood suspect police chased them to their deaths.

Maybe now they will print "DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE" signs in Arabic.

"Youths."

Nice euphemism for vicious thugs (who happen to be Muslims in this instance).

Cos its Canada and they don't want to upset their multicultural applecart. Canada doesn't have the problems (yet) Europe does, and the U.S. if it doesn't curtail its illegal immigration. Denmark and Sweden are having similar problems, but no one in Canada wants to talk about that, can't offend anyone. So far I've only seen it on the BBC world news and on line.

Over 10% of France is muslim and not integrated into society. They come from opressive and poor regimes, but hey, its all our fault cos we are racist, doncha know. Excellent article here written in 2003:

http://www.techcentralstation.com/082803M.html

As nearly every Western country absorbs a fast growing Muslim minority, every Westerner should look closely at France. A French failure to integrate Muslims could lead to a general European and Western failure. Those who don't believe in the clash of civilizations might at least see a clash between traditional Islamic values and Western republican values. This raises the question of the compatibility of Islam with secular democracy (separation of church and state) and human rights (especially the rights of women and of non-Muslims).
snip
Economics plays a major role in the "Muslim problem". The overwhelming poverty in Middle Eastern and North African countries, ruled for centuries by Islam, drives their populations to desperation. The Islamists, nostalgic for the glorious past of the Caliphates, place the blame for these conditions mainly on Westerners, rejecting the fact that the problem has its roots in the failure of their own societies. With one of the highest unemployment levels for youth among OECD countries, France is in a bad position to provide a model of integration.

"The unrest cast a cloud over the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month."

- Isn't it ironic that the religion of peace often chooses its own holy month to instigate violence?

Christmas is coming, I better get ready to riot and pillage. </sarc>

An uneasy calm fell over Paris's riot-hit suburbs early Friday

They simply chose to file their report in the early dawn hours after another night of chaos. Every morning during this spree has been calm. The headline falls under the MSM "fake but accurate" exception to common sense.

"Flames towered over a burning warehouse set afire in Le Blanc Mesnil late Thursday. Youths fired buckshot at riot police vehicles ... LCI television reported 50 vehicles burned by early Friday - compared with some 300 the night before."

Would the liberals call Iraq "calm" if 50 vehicles were on fire in Baghdad?!

"Paris suburbs relatively calm"

France's Muslim population, an estimated five million, is Western Europe's largest. But rather than being embraced as full and equal citizens, immigrants and their French-born children often complain of police harassment and of being refused jobs.

boo hoo -- convert toChristianity or Judaiism or even to Buddhism or Hinduism, anything but slam or else get out, go to ssaudia

It's relatively calm after seven nights of being relatively violent.
