2 Churches 2 Schools Police Station 1400 Cars Burned Sunday Night
CNN ^

PARIS, France (CNN) -- Schools and churches were burned in several French towns in an 11th straight night of unrest and arson, despite words from the president that restoring order was a top priority.

Police arrested nearly 150 people overnight and into Monday morning even as French President Jacques Chirac vowed to crack down on the perpetrators, who have wreaked havoc in towns in southern and eastern parts of France and in the capital Paris.

Overnight Sunday rioting spread across the nation, and into Paris proper, with a half dozen cars set on fire for the first time in the capital's upscale 17th district that stretches west from Montmartre to the Arc de Triomphe.

The list of cities attacked is growing -- from Lille in the north to Rouen and Orleans in the west, to the Mediterranean cities of Nice and Cannes, to Strasbourg and Colmar in the east, with youths attacking shops, schools and a police station.

CNN correspondents have said renegade youths have turned neighborhoods into no-go zones, even in the daytime.

Among the worst incidents reported -- rocks thrown at two buses hit a 13-month-old child in Colombe, an official with the Interior Ministry said. The child was in serious condition.

In the northern city of Rouen, a police barricade was set afire and a burning car was pushed into the police station; and in Strasbourg, near the German border, a school was torched.

A church was set ablaze in the southern fishing town of Sete and another in nearby Lens, Pas de Calais; two schools in the southeastern town of Saint-Etienne and a police station in the central France town of Clermont-Ferrand were torched, as was a social center in Seine-Saint-Denis, near the border with Switzerland.

What will it take to get Chirac to use the military?

Burning Notre Dame?

Blowing up the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre?

Perhaps Jacques Nosack thought he could buy peace with the Muslims by opposing the US. It didn't work. It never works Jacques.

Why do you try to appease these angry hater types? They respect you less, despise you more and then steal your country while you watch.

A time warp, so he can go back and retract everything that will cause him to lose face when he does what he has to.

One new FRer has suggested that the riots are exaggerated by the MSM on anotehr thread. Does anyone know if this take should be taken seriously?

Chirac's stupidity is letting the Islamists take over. Eventually, we will need to send in the U.S. Army to liberate Paris (yet again). I guess they can call it "Operation Freedom Fries". /half-sarc
