More Cars Torched in France Overnight("only" 502 though)

PARIS - The number of cars torched overnight in France climbed slightly over the previous night to 502 in a 16th night of unrest that took its heaviest toll on the French provinces, police said Saturday.

Security was boosted in the capital with some 3,000 police officers fanning out around strategic points to counter feared weekend attacks targeting Paris. Gatherings were banned from Saturday morning until Sunday morning.

"We returned to an almost normal situation in Ile de France," said national police chief Michel Gaudin, referring to the Paris region. Arson attacks were counted in 163 towns around France, he said. The count of those detained overnight stood at 206, bringing to 2,440 the number of suspects picked up in just over two weeks of unrest.

Two Molotov cocktails were tossed at a mosque Friday evening in the southern town of Carpentras, but it was not immediately clear whether the attack was linked to the unrest that has wracked the poor suburbs and small towns of France since Oct. 27. President Jacques Chirac demanded that investigators quickly find out who was behind the attack.

Note that Chirac demanded a quick investigation only when a Mosque was attacked.

It's a start, anyway. Il Presidente can suck an egg. He is so determined to find the mosque burners, and so slow to go after the car burners. Instead, they lock up those who defy a "curfew"...

Sounds like our .08, and "Click it or Ticket" laws... take away the rights of the many, so you pander to the few!

Insurance premiums must be high. How much could a Parisian save by switching to Geico?

Our MSM won't touch it unless it's over a 1000... and then only as a sidebar.

Not just the car burners. He wasn't too quick to go after the church burners either.

Odds are that the islamofascists torched the mosque to justify further violence.

Chirac should have everything under control when only 200 cars are burned along with one church and one school per week..

Don't have to burn my car! I am a proactive kinda guy!

Can anybody say "Crusade"?

In Scripture, we repeatedly see examples where God instructed his people to UTTERLY destroy the enemy. Somebody didn't listen a thousand years ago, and now we have come to this. There is an enemy out there that wants to convert you, or kill you.

It's past time to raise our voices, and scorch the earth!

Tick, tick, tick...

When the Israelites first took possession of the Promised Land from the Canaanites, their methods ensured they would not have a perpetual Palestinian problem

Assuming that most of the cars were Peugot's, how do we know that the Muslims had anything to do with it?

Europe forgets its history from about 700 to 1300.

They need a quick refresher course to see how their ancestors dealt with a similar incursion. Otherwise, they need to practice the 5x-daily kneeling and start manufacturing burkas.
