Paris Rioters Set Woman Afire as Violence Spreads
FoxNews ^ | Nov 5, 2005

Posted on 11/05/2005 4:34:35 AM PST by mark502inf

AUBERVILLIERS, France — Marauding bands of Muslim youth set fire to cars and warehouses and pelted rescuers with rocks early Saturday, as the worst rioting in a decade spread from Paris to other French cities. The United States warned Americans against taking trains to the airport via strife-torn areas. A savage assault on a bus passenger highlighted the dangers of travel in Paris' Muslim-filled and impoverished outlying neighborhoods, where the violence has entered its second week. The African immigrant attackers doused the woman, in her 50s and on crutches, with an inflammable liquid and set her afire as she tried to get off a bus in the suburb of Sevran (search) Wednesday, judicial officials said. The bus had been forced to stop because of burning objects in its path. She was rescued by the driver and hospitalized with severe burns. Justice Minister Pascal Clement (search) deplored the incident, saying it caused him "great emotion." Rioters burned more than 500 vehicles Friday as the unrest grew beyond the French capital for the first time.

After 8 days, maybe this is the event that will get the French to go in strong.

Muslims setting a woman of fire. This must be a misinformation.

The Justice Minister "deplored" the incident? Oy vey! What will he say when homocide bombs start going off in French cities? That's the ticket - harshen the rhetoric and look the other way.

Fox will probably be the only news outlet to mention that little 'detail'

Can the Foreign Legion fight on French soil? Or has the Legion been infiltrated by Islamists?

Too bad they didn't build a Maginot line around Paris. Not that the original line did much to save France either.

...and impoverished outlying neighborhoods...

And the point of stating the neighborhoods are impoverished is what?

"Marauding bands of Muslim youth"

Nice to see that someone decided to report on reality.

Setting women on fire might hurt the tourists trade.

...that the violence is rooted in poverty.

Clearly, these thugs who lit this poor woman on fire are simply victims of their economic conditions and are not to blame.

Undoubtably, were one to question these "rioters", one would find that they are against the war in the Middle East, much like those proclamations made by those that staged the, made for TV, mayhem that occured in Argentina.


How is it that these "peaceful" types are such violent people? It would seem that they would all be social workers, feeding the poor with the milk of human kindness.

It wouldn't be pure, unadulterated bullcrap now, would it?

One would have thought they would shoot her or cut her head off first.

I just read this on Jerry Pournelle's site, in a missive from one of his readers:

The article you quote from http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/429 ("Ramadan Rioting in Europe's No-Go Areas") suggest that since the French police force is obviously overwhelmed, untrained and unequipped against a street jihad, the French PM should send in the army to stop the riots. One little detail: about 23% of the French recruits are Muslims, mostly of North-African descent (2nd or 3rd generation). Career officers are increasingly clashing with rebellious privates who want the pay, the nice uniform (works wonder on girls), but not the orders from a roumi. Cultural and religious clashes now permeate the French barrack life.

I don't think it would be wise to rely on these troublemakers to keep roumis safe from other Muslims. The French authorities know it, even if they don't dare write it in the watered down slop that passes for a free press in Paris. So nope, no army, sorry Monsieur, and the police can't protect you, so your car will burn, the buses won't circulate, stay home.

Can anyone verify this about the French military? It sounds not-unreasonable.

"African and Muslim immigrants and their French-born children are trapped by poverty, unemployment, racial discrimination, crime, poor education and housing."



"But he said youths in individual neighborhoods were communicating by cell phone text messages or e-mails — arranging meetings and warning each other about police operations."

Let's see, all these jobless impoverished people with cell phones? Something doesn't add up.

That old lady is knitting again.
