Not without a change in government.

The French are finally reaping the truer fruits of socialism.

[Aquinasfan]

Reality proves and history attests that some values are never equal, some diverse peoples are never compatible, and colliding cultures can be so explosive that synthesis is impossible, and only pathetic fragments remain.

In order to further tolerance, we cannot tolerate your thinking.

Too bad they don't go to church any more(I think the Catholic church has France designated a "Mission" colony in the catholic faith)....

They would have had a deeper meaning of the phrase........You shall "reap" what you sow.

"We will now be able to act in a preventative manner to avoid these incidents," Mr Sarkozy said. "We will monitor, bit by bit, the evolution of events."

There is your answer, right there. Need anything more be said?

Tell you what, mang, the fire alarms in my office building make it impossible to stay in the building when they are going off. However, I have found that they are easily defeated by a pair of .39 disposable shooting earplugs.

What's this business about threats from Algeria right before the riots started? I didn't hear a word about that.

[ThomasMore]

every offer they make of social programs and concessions to autonomy will only encourage the violence to continue until the Islamists get the Bantustans they want in the heart of Europe -- ministates from which they can launch an all-out offensive against the West, similar to the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the Middle East.

I absolutely believe this to be true.

That's what the doctor says to a terminal, patients relative... in hushed tones.

There is something about the phrases these Frenchmen use. I saw a quote from a mayor of a small town holding a festival yesterday, I guess it was in Stein's piece and he said "These people, they are not a part of our universe" even though they had burned 50 cars and turned donuts on the village green until it was wrecked. Steyn said "Guess what, Mayor, you are a part of THEIR universe."

Savage used to say of the French "Liberte, Egalite, et Bigotre!" He is surprisingly knowledgeable about the French, even speaks it without an accent. It's hilarious when he talks without what he calls his "New York Brogue."

"However, I have found that they are easily defeated by a pair of .39 disposable shooting earplugs."

Hummmm...so much for Sonic Booms as riot controls!

*Hilarious! "...monitor...bit by bit...!"
Well, hilarious but pathetic.
France is doomed...bit by bit.

"After a 12th night of violence, Nicolas Sarkozy, the Interior Minister, said state of emergency laws would be used to quell the disturbances. "We will now be able to act in a preventative manner to avoid these incidents," Mr Sarkozy said. "We will monitor, bit by bit, the evolution of events."

Undoubtedly, Sarkozy's totally discognatively passive solution was devised, I suspect, after secretly consulting with U.S. Senator John Kerry, BUT without defering to the U.N. and without testing for a "global consensus", without seeking approval from Amnesty International, and even without soliciting consensus from French citizens.
The French government has effected a grand Coup de Merde.

Excerpt from article via Drudge:

---

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said Tuesday that France faces a "moment of truth" in fighting racial discrimination that has inflamed tempers in suburbs with large immigrant populations. Speaking to a special session of the National Assembly called to address the wave of unrest, Villepin said France faced a choice between "division or coming together."

We must be lucid: The Republic is at a moment of truth," Villepin said. "What is being questioned is the effectiveness of our integration model."

Villepin apologized for a recent incident in which a police tear-gas bomb landed near a mosque, adding to ill-feeling in poor suburban housing projects where many Muslims live.

---

Villepin, begging for lucidity, is scared merdeless! He, Chirac and politikos know very well what happens in Holland and in Denmark if there is resistance to deferring to demands of Muslims/Islamists and Sharia law: death threats and assassinations.

France's liberalism (secular socialism) is not firmly set upon principles but anchored upon cowardly condescension. Hand-feeding Eclaires and Bons Bons to sharks.
