Dozens of angry Corsicans staged a fresh protest on the French Mediterranean island on Saturday, a day after demonstrators vandalised a Muslim prayer hall and trashed copies of the Koran after an assault on firefighters.
As condemnation poured in from Muslim authorities and French officials over Friday's anti-Arab protests, around 100 demonstrators shouting "We're still here" turned out in the same low-income neighbourhood of the capital Ajaccio where the Christmas day violence took place.
Despite a heavy police presence, one demonstrator managed to smash three glass entrance doors in the Jardins de l'Empereur housing estate perched on an Ajaccio hillside as protesters shouted "This is our home!" and "Arabs get out".
Like the demonstration that ended in trouble the previous day, the protest had initially aimed to denounce violence against police and firefighters on the estate.
Two firefighters and a police officer were wounded in the neighbourhood overnight on Christmas Eve after a fire was "deliberately lit ... to ambush police and firefighters", said regional official Francois Lalanne.

I can only wonder at the troubles the Corsicans have had over the last few decades that the media has not reported or sanitized in their reporting.
The Corsicans are not people to be trifled with.
Just saying.

So true.
Once things calm down watch for the muzzie trouble makers to start disappearing quietly, never to be seen again.

Right up there with Sicilians for folks not to piss off.
Plus, the 2nd Foreign Legion Parachute Regiment is headquartered in Corsica... I doubt, given their history, they are sympathetic to Arabs.
Light em if you got em.
Dear moozlums: sane people despise you. Please leave civil societies.
Well after 5 paragraphs we finally find out muslims tried to stage multiple incidents to attack first responders
Where is the condemnation? Let me guess the first responders are not muslims and were therefor targeted because of their religion...
This like the dog not just biting the hand that feeds it but mauling the owner.
Arriving in a country, demanding free everything plus money, and then attacking the first responders of that nation ...
Saw the 2eme REP milling about in Djibouti.
Corse is La Terre Natal de Napoleon, and it is also home to the Union Corse (Mafia).

dear lurker,
re:

Bonaparte was Corsican.
Muslims are like that guy in a bar who keeps poking and pushing people around and is shocked when somebody rightfully punches him in the face
And this is what happened here, i have no sympathy for Muslims when they get attacked because they have brought it on themselves
Absolutely! The land of Napoleon-don’t mess with it!;) In centuries past, they were pretty heavily infested with Muslims, as was much of Mediterranean Europe. They probably needed a Crusade to dislodge them.
