SEVRAN, France — By dusk Friday, the streets of Sevran were deserted. Inside high-rise apartments and stone cottages here on the outskirts of Paris, residents waited for the explosions and sirens to begin.

"Last night I thought I was in Baghdad, not somewhere in France," said Nabila Chaibi, a 22-year-old sales clerk, her angular face swathed in a white head scarf. Her eyes displayed the fatigue of a sleepless night.

Could this be the result of a "tolerant multicultural society" that many are promoting here in the USA?

I wonder what the odds are of this spreading to other European countries?

100%, considering it's already underway in Denmark.

"A car burns in Pierrefitte, north of Paris, early today on the ninth day of French unrest. Youths in largely immigrant areas began rampaging after two teens died while hiding from police."

Didn't the barbarian turks do this previously? Didn't the Normans/Saxons run them out all the way back to Africa/MidEast? Granted some stayed behind and built a life.
Is history repeating itself?

Given France's response, it's almost guaranteed. I wish we'd go and dig up all our graves at Normandy and bring them back to the US. I hate that within about fifteen years the Muslims will use their head stones as paving blocks.

"The attacks have underscored anger and frustration among immigrants and their French-born children who inhabit the country's largest and poorest slum areas.

Yes, with all the illegals in THIS Country how long before we see the same thing happening??

From your linked article: "Some politicians and police unions have urged the government to declare a state of emergency or impose curfews on the communities that have been hit hardest."

How will this be enforced? The police are scared to death to go into these areas and have been attacked routinely over the years. Better to call a police strike. Strike as in "work stoppage"

It never was a matter of 'if'. The FR has been warning the Euro-weenies for years. But it is a strange feeling to see it happen.

I've had this same thought - even before this situation in France.

Well, the liberals will be pleased that there wont be much gun violence since the legal population has been legislatively disarmed and can only throw marshmallows at the rioters.
