The Nov. 4 headline of the online version of Le Figaro, a leading French daily, translates as follows: "After a week of riots, the violence continues."
The next eight sub-headlines all refer to the riots as well. They all suggest just how serious a situation this is:
"Tonight: A bus depot and 400 cars destroyed."
"Cars burned and vandalized; city dwellers are exasperated."
"Firemen grow increasingly angry."
On this same day, none of the major left-leaning European English language media – the BBC, Guardian and Times in Britain and the Irish Times – chose to report on the frightening chaos in France, at least not on the front pages of their online publications.
Read carefully, the lead article in Figaro suggests the reason for this unwitting conspiracy of silence. It tells how more than 315 cars have been burned in the heart of Paris in the last two days. Bus service has been interrupted. A school has been torched, and police have been shot at. Nor has the violence been limited to Paris. Buildings have been burned in at least a dozen cities around the country.
In Figaro, all these accounts of violence are written in the passive voice. One must read more than two hundred words into the article before learning that there are actual émeutiers – rioters – causing the problem. The riots began a week earlier when two "adolescents" ran from the police who were checking identification papers. Although the police did not chase them, the two youths hid in an electrical power sub-station and electrocuted themselves. This, of course, has led not to a Darwin Award – that will come later – but to much official hand-wringing and investigations of the police as well as a week of madness throughout the nation.
As to the demographics of the two boys and the rioters, the unknowing reader is left without a clue for the first 700 words of the article, save for the fact that they represent part of a "more global, anti-institutional struggle."
The first reference to "musulmans" presents them not as the perpetrators of the violence, but rather as its victims. The article tells of how the explosion of a tear gas grenade in front of a mosque exacerbated the tensions.
"Someone attacked a mosque," the Figaro quotes a young Muslim as saying, "and do you think this ignoble act would pass without response?" Obviously not, although as Figaro notes, the circumstances of the attack remain unclear. One need not be a cynic or a racist to suspect an agent provocateur, a concept the French named, if not invented.
The fact that official France has cozied up to the dissident element in this global struggle has obviously bought it no reprieve. This seemingly unprovoked mayhem by their musulman friends has embarrassed the French media into awkward apologetics and the European media into silence. Observing them, one begins to understand how Hitler was allowed to prosper.
"France herself is being attacked by foreign hordes," claims the reliably outspoken Jean-Marie Le Pen at the end of the article. Indeed, in a continent of cowards and compromisers, it should not come as a surprise that citizens will turn to the first public figure who dares say anything at all.
True, so true. It's only fair.
(CNN was playing at the bank's monitos.)
And CNN's scrolling headline (while showing the fires and fighting) claims that "Damage was mostly limited to "immigrant" areas in Paris."
See?
Even the fair and balanced CNN isn't claiming ther were any Muslim rioters!
/sarchasm of truth
Absolutely. They'll need to know who it is that is calling the shots in their country from now on.
And fortunately, damage was confined to their own squalid neighborhoods (read L.A., Detroit, etc.)
I saw a story today where the AP described the rioters that Hugo Chavez was speaking to in Argentina yesterday as "peaceful." It's unbelievable what they get away with; but unfortunately, I think that a large percentage of the public is too ignorant to realize it.

Good question.. And where is Michael Moore in all this?
I wish someone would ask him what he thinks should be done. Michael's a philosophicator who enjoys chatting about world troubles while eating fine food. He's just like the French and the diplomats at the UN.
Islam, The Alleged Religion of Peace® ( TARP™ )? Click this picture:
No, I am not exaggerating. Click the pic, go to "last," and read backwards.
If you are not informed about this stuff, you will be made sick. If you are informed, you will be made mad, all over again.
Kindly note tagline...
Well remember the French took it from the Moors several hundred years ago.
I thought the US was the only "first-world" country with ghettos.
Heaven help us all if it has to be "reported" that "rioters" are actually "terrorists" incognito.
Oh, the humanity......
Quitely trying to unload all his Halliburton stock.. before Al Franken finds out and calls him a big fat hypocrite.. He does have his honor to think of.. you know..
the inner city ghettos, or
people w/ work ethic, etc. that would create the ghetto ?
"Even the fair and balanced CNN isn't claiming ther were any Muslim rioters! "
Apparently neither is Fox News and it's sister, Sky News.
In a way I think it might be better if news reports neglected to mention Muslims in the coverage. Think about it for a minute. Everything these animals do is to call attention to Islam. What better way to insult them than to treat them like ordinary hooligans?
You must have a higher level college degree.....
Liberalism will not survive this.
