--- The unrest has forced France to squarely confront the touchy issue of the poor suburbs ringing big cities populated by immigrants and their French children. ---
By WAITING, as the title of this article says? Yeah... um... sure.

This is surreal. It is so pathetic you don't know whether to laugh (I do) or cry (not yet.) The slight decline in car burnings reported hopefully (only hundreds and hundreds, we're settling down!) is just pathetic....France is like the abused wife who says "he's not beating me as often...I think this will work out." There is no real rule of law any more, and they can't see what's wrong with that. They think it's all about social injustice. They will no longer be a country. Like Rome, they must fall. They must. You can't stand if law means nothing.

They are majority Muslims who have FAILED to assimilate themselves into Western society...

It's more than that. The arrogant french needed unskilled labor to sweep their streets and clean their toilets, they also loved the image as "the compassionate france" who took in millions of the wretched refuse.
The problem is the immigrants were never accepted as really "french" in french society and were ushered to the back of th bus where they wouldn't be seen nor would they regularly come in contact with the "real french.

Authorities have acknowledged the roots of the problem are deep-seated, perhaps linked to the French approach to immigration Yes ... perhaps opening your borders to six million Muslims who have no intention of assimilating was not a very good idea.

President Jacques Chirac asked that investigators uncover those behind the mosque attack in Carpentras Has he asked that investigators uncover those behind the attacks on churches and synagogues?
France deserves everything it gets.

This is a tough one; I don't know who to cheer for.
Hope France ask for help, it will be time for the single finger salute!

Some two weeks ago, tear gas fumes that invaded a mosque in northeast Paris suburb, Clichy-sous-Bois, where violence started, inflamed passions and fed what has become the worst ever suburban unrest in France. The French Muslim youths have been fuming for years, but this large scale rioting began on October 27th.
I think the French youths realized that the French leaders were willing to let Heinous Hussein control the lives of their Muslim brethren in Iraq.
I think the French Muslims were inflamed by the Iraqi Muslims's official acceptance of their new constitution, on October 25th, because they realized that a Muslim in liberated Iraq has more hope for his future than a Muslim in France has.

"Police in Paris await feared attacks amid slight rise in vehicles torched."If the number had declined by the same amount, would it have been a "slight decline"?

This is surreal. A long time ago I had a girlfriend who loved French movies. I thought they sucked. They made no sense just like the real France.

Anyone know how many cars total have been destroyed since the rioting began back in late October? It must be around 8,000 or so???? Wow. Just incredible to have that much property destroyed. (And, that doesn't include all the other property burned and damaged.)

I guess it means this will be over when there are no vehicles left to torch?
The French sure must think their citizens are really stupid and can't learn to take steps to keep their vehicles out of harms way.
To: NewMediaFan
Some 3,000 police fanned out around Paris on Saturday to counter feared weekend attacks on high-profile targets in the capital as the number of vehicles torched overnight rose slightly elsewhere in France, officials said.
Modern day Maginot Line.

Doesn't it seem strange that the Frogs still use the old feudal model, comparable with the areas inhabited by poor Serfs surrounding those inhabited by the feudal landowners and townpeople. Could effectively landlock the richer citizens in their cities by the poorer citizens.
I wouldn't want to be a wealthy person living in a French city today.
