An immigrant population that insists on keeping its culture separate and refuses to assimilate into that of it's host country will cause NOTHING but trouble. Coming to the USA soon.

With London bombed and Paris burning, I remember a joke that Europeans had when we were getting ready to go into Iraq. "The Americans were late to the first two World Wars and they want to get in early for the next one." Heh, REAL funny now ain't it, Europe?
Don't worry, when your leaders beg for U.S. Troops to bail you out again, We'll be there.

I linked into the BBC for it's take. Went to the "Your Voice" section. Boil the comments down and you get it's their right to burn the cities down. The west must change.

"To those responsible for the violence, I want to say: Be serious ... If you want to live in a fairer, more fraternal society, this is not how to go about it"

De Villepin: "I'll make proposals as early as this week,"

Gotta love that "get tough" attitude. /sarcasm>

Authorities have so far found no way beyond appeals and more police to address a problem with complex social, economic and racial causes

Read: socialists interests conflicting with militantism of muslim youths make it impossible to condemn them as it would call to condemn the whole socialist system altogether and cause a total revolution with reds and muslims together this time torching the rest of France.

Excellent! And the truth!

"To those responsible for the violence, I want to say: Be serious ... If you want to live in a fairer, more fraternal society, this is not how to go about it."

If this is France's response, then it is time I place a serious money bet that France will fall.

My father and uncle are still around; though I think they'd find it even harder for them to scale the cliffs at Normandy.  Perhaps there's a wheelchair path there now!

They saved France from itself before, they'd probably volunteer to do it again.

Hi! I got home late last night and followed the prior thread, but didn't leave a comment.

Thank you for posting a live thread. I found it very helpful in understanding what is happening. I will try to participate in this one by looking for links, etc.

Perhaps now France and the rest of Europe and the West wakes up from our self-delusion that Islam can live in harmony with us.

It can't. Every single time in the past 1400 years that Islam has been allowed to become a substantial minority of around 10% in a country; they start a jihad to make the land Islamic. The only way to stop them is to forcefully push back and restrict their expansion (like what Europe did in the past and what Israel and India are currently doing with their Muslim citizens).

This makes it all the more interesting to see what's going to happen to Europe. It is estimated Western Europe as a whole will be 20-25% Muslim in just 20 years, with Muslims comprising the majority of those below 20 years of age.

Man, that's going to be a tragic sight to see - the complete destruction of European culture before our eyes. For only the second time in world history will an entire continent revert to barbarism under religious fanaticism. Ironically, it's the same one.

So what's the problem? When you see someone about to burn your car, shoot them! Oh, that's right, you gave up the right to defend yourselves and rely on others to protect you. Good luck learning how to say "I surrender" in Arabic.

History in the making: France's nouvous "Reign of Terror" and cowardly Chirac's lack of chagrin. May Chirac feel the blowback full in his face for his Anti-American stances.

Britain's pathetic deference to Muslim/Islamic fanaticism: banning Piggy Banks and porky images! Denmark and Holland citizens are subject to death threats and assassinations.

Time to realize that the darkly eccentric Muslim/Islamic cult-ure and religion represents an oppressive fascistic theocracy unreconcilable with Western civilization.

Geez, I dunno, these guys sound pretty serious to me.

IMHO, The scary part is that if the DEMS were in charge here in the USA we would be facing the same PC as the "leaders" of France are taking.

However, I do believe the Militia would take up the lack of leadership.

You may go and bail the France out again, But our US Troops will never go back to help the France.
