France has suffered its heaviest riot damage yet as warnings of tough prison sentences failed to deter arsonists. Police reported 1,295 vehicle burnings and made 312 arrests as unrest in African and Arab communities spread to Strasbourg, Toulouse and Nantes.

On the 10th consecutive night of riots, four cars were torched on Place de la Republique in central Paris along with others in the central 17th District.

Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy had warned of stiff jail sentences.

In some areas of Paris, night buses were cancelled as a precaution.

Police helicopters patrolled the skies over the capital, attempting to pursue and identify those responsible for the attacks.

Unrest began after the deaths of two youths in the rundown Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois on 27 October, who were accidentally electrocuted at an electricity sub-station after reportedly fleeing police.

The northern town of Evreux in Normandy saw some of the worst unrest overnight with at least 30 cars burned along with three shops, the local authorities said.

A school was also petrol-bombed in the town while four police officers were injured in clashes with youths, some of them reportedly wielding baseball bats.

Saturday night's violence was the worst reported to date:

A McDonald's was rammed by a car and almost completely burnt out in Corbeil-Essonnes, south of Paris

Five classrooms of a nursery in Grigny, south of Paris, were destroyed by fire while a primary school was also slightly damaged

A recycling facility was attacked in the Essone area near Paris, with 800 sq m of paper going up in flames and at least 35 vehicles torched

In Drancy, north-east of Paris, two teenagers were caught and handed over to police after they tried to set fire to a lorry.

Marches

Earlier on Saturday hundreds of people joined marches in Paris suburbs to protest against the violence.

In Aulnay-sous-Bois, which has seen some of the worst of the rioting, residents walked past burnt out vehicles and buildings with banners reading "No to violence" and "Yes to dialogue".

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin met eight key ministers and the head of the Paris mosque, Dalil Boubakeur.

After the meeting, Mr Boubakeur urged a change in tone from the government.

"What I want from the authorities, from Mr Nicolas Sarkozy, the prime minister and senior officials are words of peace," he said.

Mr de Villepin has been holding a series of meetings with public figures and ordinary people from the affected areas as he seeks an end to the crisis.

Mr Sarkozy's much-quoted description of urban vandals as "rabble" (racaille) a few days before the riots began is said by many to have already created tension.

Reports of a police tear gas grenade hitting a mosque during the riots further inflamed feelings.

This is from a Greek Newspaper reporting on the Moslem Riot.

The article is in Greek and only a small part of the paper but it is there.

The Muslim riots in Paris and other French cities are well orchestrated and will continue until the French government gives in and grants Muslims the right to take over the entire country.

This is simply another case of the have-nots wanting what the haves have gained through hard work.

Have-nots have shared down through the centuries a total ignorance of what it takes makes a prosperous civilization.

They are unaware that it takes an ability to form social institutions, a governmental system that allows broad participation and laws that protect private property and personal freedom.

Also they believe with fanatic faith that the good life just falls out of the sky. They believe that if they kill and destroy enough the goodies will fall on them.

Overwhelming demographic shifts of primitives and semi-primitives have brought about the collapse of many civilizations in the past but have built none.

France must learn, as we must learn in our own war against Islam, that we are in a war of extinction.

Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy had warned of stiff jail sentences.

Uh oh...sounds like they're really getting MAD now!

[sit-rep]

lol...

[Walkin Man]

I bet that stern warning scared the heck outta them rioting muslim "youths".

LOLOLOLOLOL!

BTW have the French surrendered yet???

[Zrob]

absolutely correct, islam is not a religion. it is a CULTURE at total odds with the west. CLOSE THE MOSQUES NOW.

[hershey]

Isn't it comforting to know Chirac has already played the 'Blame Bush' card, claiming he warned Bush that this would happen if we invaded Iraq. Well, he'll ride that horse through the rest of their election cycle, and don't be surprised if the Dems and their pals, the MSM do it, too.

[wideminded]

police officers were injured in clashes with youths, some of them reportedly wielding baseball bats.

Is it really possible to obtain a baseball bat in France? What are they normally used for?

[andy58-in-nh]

Warning!!!! You are at war with Islam.

Why do you expect the French to understand what so many Americans fail to grasp? Our own Democrat Party labors daily to criminalize the efforts of Republicans to fight this war - while the enemy plots to create even larger fires in the US than currently burn in the suburbs of Paris. Sometimes I want to get up on my roof with a 20,000 watt loudspeaker and shout "Wake Up!!!!!" to all who will listen.

[hershey]

France has nukes, so we can't let terrorists gain control of the country.

[DoughtyOne]

Yes you are absolutely right.  Boundless pointed that out in post 19 and I acknowledged it in post 25.

Both of you were correct to point that out.

[hershey]

I noticed you'd heard from Boundless a few scrolls down, sorry! But my first reaction was like yours....let them stew in their own juice. This time we won't save them. If they carve up the country and allow autonomous Muslim enclaves, they've handed France over to them lock, stock, and barrel.
