It is becoming difficult to give you news about the situation in France. Apart from a minor incident involving a mosque, the media have lost interest or are complying with censorship recommendations from their editors who fear that the public would turn to the “extreme-right” if it receives correct information. Perhaps our attempt to provide information qualifies us as “extreme-right” too. To avoid legal problems our lawyers advise us to put up a warning:

In the sixteenth consecutive night of violence in France, 502 cars were set alight. Hundreds of molotov cocktails were thrown at policemen, cars and buildings, including a mosque in Carpentras in the south of the country. In Belgium’s sixth consecutive night of car torching, fifteen cars, including one truck and a bus, were damaged by fire – eight of them in Brussels. The situation in Denmark seems to be tense as well.
In both Paris and Brussels the authorities are nervous because islamist weblogs have called for demonstrations and violent protests today. The French authorities have banned all rallies and protests until Sunday evening. The Belgian authorities do not want the media to report about the weblogs. In Paris and Brussels the police are on the alert.
Meanwhile, Amnesty International has said it is “concerned” that the state of emergency in France “may lead to human rights violations” by the French police. Yesterday, one policeman was jailed and four were suspended because they had beaten up a 19-year old “youth” in a Paris suburb. The “youth” had just been released from custody for involvement in riots and had returned to taunt the officers. The beating incident was filmed by the television channel France 2. The channel is one of the French media outlets that does not want to broadcast acts of violence committed by “youths” for fear of copycat actions. The media devote a lot of attention to the beating incident. Apparently there is no fear that this will lead to copycat behaviour by frustrated policemen.
There is also considerable media attention for two molotov cocktails thrown at a mosque in the southern town of Carpentras. Though there was no material damage the French authorities have strongly condemned the attack. “This act of agression is as undignified as it is unacceptable,” Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said. President Chirac and Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, too, condemned the agression “with the greatest firmness” and expressed solidarity with the Muslim community of France.
Earlier this week two churches were set ablaze, but the French government did not express solidarity with the Christians of France. The Jewish community has also been advised to keep quiet about attacks on synagogues lest they attract the attention of copycats. After the attacks, the French authorities did not explicitly express solidarity with the Jews but advised them “not to publicize their fears, as such declarations could encourage rioters to attack Jews and Jewish community buildings.” Apparently, the media and the politicians are convinced that copycats are never Christians or Jews, but always Muslims. Doesn’t that attitude smack of racism?
Thanks for posting this. I had begun to think--due to the decline in media coverage that the article mentions--that this entire fracas was over now.
This crazy, wacky, upside-down world of ours...
Sounds like a workable solution to me.
Indeed! That seems to be the objective. Sick world.
The Marxists-3rd Wayers deliberately inflame the muzzies...they are the 'brown shirts' of their NWO.
Me too...I was convinced it was all but over...then, 502 cars last night. Sounds like it hasn't run out of gas...so to speak.
isn't it amazing that when the frogs were talking about getting tough on lawbreakers and how acts of violence would not be tolerated, they weren't talking about the yutes, but their own law enforcement?? IMO they need more, not less, of the snot beaten outta these people. All the yutes have learned is they now have a free license to do what they want, knowing that any attempt to stop them will be met with charges filed against the people that attempted to maintain law and order..since the french are too chickensh*t to protect their own homeland, it's truly turning into an islamic state..
We report. You decide. And if we limit what we say, your decisions will go the way we want. You ignorant Peasants.
bump
Actually no. It is just beginning.

Bwhahahahah!

Words fail me. If this does not prove that civilization is finished then nothing will.
No, it's the fault of the automakers from not aking their cars out of concrete.
What's the situation in Finland regarding muslims?
Yes. If contemporary leftists are reluctant to take up arms themselves to overthrow their own societies, they seem to be in cahoots with the jihadists who will do the work for them. The left provides the legal cover with ruses such as "protecting human rights." The right to riot and destroy property... and to attack the police?

Ask me if I care. I used to think AI was a respectable organization.
Fortunetely not all of us follow the rules.
