ACHERES, France Riots that started in Paris' lower-class suburbs and resulted in 250 arrests of predominantly Muslim youths Saturday moved into the capital of France early Sunday morning.
By 1 a.m., a spokesman for the national police reported 13 vehicles torched in the capital, and 607 vehicles burnt overall during the 10th straight night of rioting. Totals are expected to rise by morning.

The violence originally concentrated in neighborhoods northeast of Paris with large immigrant populations is forcing France (search) to confront anger long-simmering in its suburbs, where many Africans and their French-born children live on society's margins, struggling with unemployment, poor housing, racial discrimination, crime and a lack of opportunity.
Youths armed with gasoline bombs lit vehicles, a nursery school and other targets on fire as they made their way through higher-class towns and to the capital.

In quiet Acheres, on the edge of the St. Germain forest west of the capital, arsonists burned a nursery school, where part of the roof caved in, and about a dozen cars in four attacks over an hour that the mayor said seemed "perfectly organized."
Children's photos clung to the blackened walls, and melted plastic toys littered the floor. Residents gathered at the school gate demanded that the army be deployed or suggested that citizens band together to protect their neighborhoods.
Mayor Alain Outreman (search) tried to cool tempers.
"We are not going to start militias," he said. "You would have to be everywhere."
In one particularly malevolent attack, youths in the eastern Paris suburb of Meaux (search) prevented paramedics from evacuating a sick person from a housing project. They pelted rescuers with rocks, then torched the awaiting ambulance, an Interior Ministry official said.

You must do penance.
Don't smile, say two Hail Mary's, and think about doing a good deed that doesn't include burning Chirac at the stake before the Sabbath.
You'll feel better about yourself.
Should this come as a surprise? That the Religion of Peace is seeking by force to subjugate and frighten a weakened and demasculinized Western Culture? Hope all the Metrosexuals and Girly Men had their manicures done when they had to confront the Muslim thugs. Should have called in the Foreign Legion and just shot the Bastards dead. Let them go back to their shit holes in North Africa where they came from.
Our Dumb Ass Demorats want to appease these Monsters. Schools, Nursery schools, an ambulance, oh and I loved the setting the Woman on fire touch. Nice Muhammed F^%$ You and the rest of your thugs. When will our media and idiots on the Left come out of their drug induced Fog? Islam is taking up old habits, like imposing Islam at the point of a sword, or bayonet. I say when Irans' Nukes go operational we launch
a full nuclear strike on First Warning.
We ain't weenies. I've been waiting for the STHTF. This might be it if it's spreading.
where did they get a flamethrower? EBAY?
The Germans seem to think that it is a fact that ethnic conflict will become more intense in Germany as well. The media is portraying this as more of an ethnic underclass thing. I kind of agree, since they have not coordinated suicide attacks in France and Germany. Yet.
S! to Texas. You get to do Hail Mary's and I get crucified. What's up with that? HEHE
Oh, that will be a given.........
Watch for Harry Reid to start spouting about it too, ..
And McCain will be join in..........while trying to be PC.
I will NEVER vote for McCain........
Thanks.
Here's another reason why the French "government" will not strike back. Can you imagine what the press they start killing Muslims wholesale in the streets of Paris? This after Chirac and co. made such a to-do out of Bush's "crusade" in Iraq and Afghanistan. It would be too much hypocracy--even for the French! No wonder there is silence from Chirac about all this. He's probably hiding under the bed, wetting his pants. My prediction is that he will let France burn rather than admit that Bush was right all along.
Too bad it's not August because otherwise the French could all go on vacation.
You are correct. The real men, the tough Euro men were mostly killed off in those wars, leaving the pussified, cowardly euro metro-sexual male as role models!!
"Is it possible for this entire thing to erupt in Muslim communities all over Europe?"
Just what I was thinking. All you have to do is drive there, after all. Now, there are Muslim populations in Finland, who can count on safe houses.
Of course, all this is purely accidental, of course......... /sarc.
With the liberal nature of many of our very own laws, they might do that here.
I share your fears. We would face a double burden.
Not only would we have to shoot the bad guys; we'd have to shoot the ones complaining about shooting the bad guys.
That's very good. Maybe your local Muslim weapons dealer.
Do we have large Muslem slums in the US?
Good One!
Here, Americans would try to protect their property though
What would be the difference between the two?
The French have been guilty of many atrocities on the African continent, now the chickens have come home to roost.
