The armies of the Caliphate are on the move and Paris is under siege (again).

[yldstrk]

The religion of peace strikes again. Wake up oh France.

[2banana]

It is war - too bad the french can't form armed militias to defend themselves. They will make good slaves...

[weegee]

It isn't a "riot" when it happens in 300 towns. It is an uprising.

Then again, they aren't just "youths" and neither was the communist led riot in Toledo Ohio.

The growing violence is forcing France to confront long-simmering anger in its suburbs, where many Africans and their French-born children live on society's margins, struggling with high unemployment, racial discrimination and despair — fertile terrain for crime of all sorts as well as for Muslim extremists offering frustrated youths a way out.

France, with some 5 million Muslims, has the largest Islamic population in Western Europe.

Finally, after going through the usual socialist garbage about the "root causes" of the insurrection, they actually hint at the real cause--Islamofascism.

the French reponse to this is exactly as it was in Monty Python and the Holy Grail..."I fart in your general direction"...

[Dallas59]

Well...Islam strikes again...beating a man to death. He must have been a collaborator with the French police...

[Always Right]

I am glad to see Chirac finally got some balls and put those terrorists in their place.

Much of the youths' anger has focused on law-and-order Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, whose reference to the troublemakers as "scum" appeared to inflame passions.

Let's see, they doused an old woman with gasoline and torched her out of anger. That "used" to be called a hate crime. I'd say they are scum.

[add925]

Even the muslims appear to hate post Soviet, Euro-socialism....perhaps one of the few things we might agree upon.

[RouxStir]

"Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, whose reference to the troublemakers as "scum" appeared to inflame passions."

At least one Frenchman has perception.

France's biggest Muslim fundamentalist organization, the Union for Islamic Organizations of France, issued a fatwa, or religious decree. It forbade all those "who seek divine grace from taking part in any action that blindly strikes private or public property or can harm others."

Only kill, rape and destroy those who we tell you to...

Arsonists burned two schools and a bus in the central city of Saint-Etienne and its suburbs, and two people were injured in the bus attack. Churches were set ablaze in northern Lens and southern Sete, he said.

How many mosques have been burned? The french are in a civil war. I hope it turns out better than in Kosovo...

[son of caesar]

you may be very right. this probably started as a riot by

hmmmmmmm muslim yutes. but when the real muslims saw

that mere children are on the verge of such victories,

perhaps some reinforcements ala seasoned jihadists were

sent in? regradless, france is done, look for massive

capital flight and emigration of those frogs who can afford

it. we are witnessing history that happens only every

thousand years or so and i for one am just dam enjoying it.

Alain Rahmouni, a national police spokesman

I suspect this person is of Middle Eastern descent as well, despite his french first name.

[metmom]

It's spread? Who'd guessed it? The war has begun and the French have no clue. The muslims were testing in Paris and found no resistance. It gave them the green light to finish the takeover of the rest of the country.

Land for Peace

[sine_nomine]

Civil war, but really a foreign invasion.

Finally, after going through the usual socialist garbage about the "root causes" of the insurrection, they actually hint at the real cause--Islamofascism.

Crap, those middle-eastern delinquints wouldn't know what an Islamo or Facist is.

[MudSlide]

Must be Muslim partisans
