In spite of the calls for calm, violence continues (With AFP.) [ November 06, 2005 ] The destruction created by the riots in the French suburbs has grown louder and louder for 10 days and reached the peak of 1295 vehicles burned and 312 people arrested in the night of Saturday to Sunday, according to the final assessment of the general direction of the national police force. The day before, the final assessment of the disorders made account of 897 burnt vehicles. The calls for calm however had multiplied Saturday. One of them emanated from the parents of the two Clichy-under-Wood young people (Seine-Saint-Denis) whose death by electrocution on October 27 had been used as setting off the riots. Sign of the will of firmness posted by the government vis-a-vis with the rioters, seven helicopters provided with powerful projectors and of video cameras had been mobilized in the night to dissuade the troublemakers. But neither these new material means, nor the reinforcements as police officers seemed to intimidate the arsonists, who operated in the heart of the capital, in the 3rd district where four cars were burned by a Flame Thrower while a half-dozen of vehicles were in flames in 17th. Thirty-two private vehicles were set fire to and destroyed by fire in downtown Paris in the night of Saturday to Sunday, and thirty people were arrested, indicated Sunday the prefecture of police force of Paris (PP). Among these thirty arrested people, eleven were "in flagrante delicto with FlameThrowers", according to this same source. The night was also marked by violent confrontations one in Evreux, where the shopping centre of the district of the Madeleine, was seriously damaged and where young demonstrators, of which some were armed with bats, ran up against the police officers, according to the observations and testimonys collected on the spot. These confrontations resulted in casualties on both sides, according to these testimonys. The prefecture was not able to provide an assessment. Elsewhere in province, the fires of vehicles were particularly numerous, nearly 80, in the departments of North, Aisne and Oise, according to prefectures'. In Toulouse, around fifty of voluntary fires whose 40 burned cars had been raised and ten interpellations. In Avignon, 11 cars were aimed. In Parisian suburbs, many buildings, two schools of Grigny and MacDo of Corbeil-Essonnes smashed by a car-ram, and vehicles (71) blazed up in the Essonne, where the Minister of Interior Department Nicolas Sarkozy as a sign of support went for the police officers. In Evry, the minister in particular met challenged teenagers who were to be given to their parents. Around fifty of people were arrested in this department. "To burn a school, it is unacceptable but that which put fire it is Sarkozy", maintained Saturday evening a relative of pupil of Grigny. The gymnasium Armand Desmet, "more affluent" of Clichy-under-Wood (Seine-Saint-Denis), entirely burned in the night, a fire of criminal origin, one learned near the municipality. In Athis-Mons, two people were slightly injured by inhalation and a hundred evacuated in the night after the fire of a Sonacotray hearth. In addition, at least 80 burnt vehicles and 20 arrests were recorded in Yvelines, respectively 90 and 67 as a Seine-Saint-Denis, 33 and 32 in Valley-of Oise. In Mureaux, about thirty young people perched on the roof of two towers of the district of the Musicians, threw all kinds of projectiles on the police force at the beginning of evening, under the illumination of a helicopter. These new figures carry to nearly 3.500 the number of vehicles set fire to since the beginning of the riots, according to a calculation established on the basis of daily assessment provided by the national police force. According to this same calculation, more than 800 arrests were carried out since October 27. The foreign media continue to look with concern to develop these violent protests in the French suburbs, which are often socio-economic places of segregation for a population as a majority of immigrant origin. These riots are a warning for Europe which integration requires a political solution, the president of the British Commission on the equality of races (CRE) writes Trevor Phillips in a platform published Sunday by Observing it Trevor Phillips. "Our French neighbors are giving us the strongest alarm which they can (as regards integration)", written Trevor Phillips. "you Awake all".
And then what happens to French assets and French citizens living in Muslim countries?
I think I'd get out fast.
Virtually every story I have read has talked about how many cars are burned. There is a lot more than cars being burned and the media is ignoring it. Just check out this slide show before Reuters takes it down.
How is it possible that there have been very few casualties during these riots? Are the rioters unarmed? It seems so.
You're right.
I have learned that the French include Molotov Cocktail as one particular sort of "engin incendiaire", so that's probably what they mean here.
They need a whiff of grapeshot.
Bon, tres bon.
Merci.
ROFL aussi.
the rioters don't need anything more than molotov cocktails..the french are armed only with white flags..it's a no-brainer..
I agree..out of one side of their mouth the rioters say they're not included, out of the other they say they don't WANT to be included and for everyone to stay out..
France has been invaded by osmosis. Now the French have to recapture a large part of their own country. It could so easily happen here that it's scary. Every time I see a Mudslime woman in a headscarf, I feel a sense of absolute physical loathing and revulsion. Rattle snakes and copperheads bother me a lot less.
Looks like those Frenchies are getting series...
Imagine this if we don't stop it there..
Come home and get ready for the fight.

"It is interesting that Steyn said today that the major reason for the French not supporting the Iraq invasion may not have been French cowardice or that France was on Saddam's payroll, it may have been fear of a reaction just like this from the alienated French-Arab youth."
What kind of insipid leadership does France have that allows its foreign policy to be dictated by its fear of "alienated French-Arab youth"? That the French government preferred to collude with tyrant Saddam and the corrupt U.N? Wisdom and history proves that a benevolent containment does not subdue a malignant ("alientated") bully force having pathological propensities.
French government's ideal of egalitarianism:
French-Arab ghettos contained by welfare state's largesse. These ghettos are cauldrons in which self-imposed "alienated" Muslims foment their antagonism toward Western society. The reality seems that French Muslims want a separate society but with equal rule. Ref: Holland's Muslim dominated city Rotterdam.
Deport the "alienated" Muslims to their countries of origin or to nations with values compatible with Muslim/Islam dictates.
What seems to be incredible is the fact the French government hasn't taken the normally accepted procedures in riot control. Have they declared a curfew? Are they arresting the leaders? Are they showing they are in control? Answer: no, no and no.
No, the French are having ceaseless cabinet meetings while the whiffs of burning cars, warehouses and schools permeate the French countryside. In quellling riots sooner is better than later. Yet the French government diddles, concerned with political correctness and paralyzed by fear. At some point they will have to take decisive action. But as the riots become more widespread and the rioters more emboldened, the solution will become far more difficult and regretfully, bloodier.
