I told one of my liberal coworkers that soon the DUmmies would be blaming the riots on us. Finally they have figured out it's the USA or CIA or W's fault. See the thread with "Molotov cocktail" in the title. What a clueless bunch.

"They are not youths. They are followers of the religion of peace."

You have to admit this article is an improvement. They are now mentioning "Muslim" in the 5th paragraph (as opposed to the last) and for the first time I saw "Islamic militants", even though they stuck it near the end.

There is a lot more than cars burning in Paris. Just look at this slide show before Reuters takes it down.

"My kids can't sleep at night," said a mother named Samia in Aulnay-sous-Bois. "They hear explosions, they see fires and they think they're in a war."

This ladies' kids have a clearer vision than the MSM.

OK, I'm beyond the point where I believe the French have a chance in this matter. Both sides are reprehensible and I'm beyond disgust.

Rather than waste my time with concern, let's start a drinking game!

The rules:

Drink any time that an Islamofascist:

1) Torches a nursery school

2) Douses an invalid with gasoline and tosses a match

3) Beats an innocent fellow man to death while claiming to promote a religion of peace

4) Burns a car or destroys property because they have a problem with self-esteem or can't find a job

5) Blames the Jews

6) Blames the Christians

7) Blames President Bush or FEMA (True, this is France but you just know they had something to do with it!)

"The violence has tarnished France's image abroad, forcing Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin to cancel a trip to Canada, while Russia and the United States have warned their citizens to avoid Paris's troubled suburbs.

Villepin has combined a call for an end to the riots with dialogue with community leaders, youngsters and local officials, and has promised an action plan for 750 tough neighbourhoods. "

This is exactly what our commie mayor in Toronto is doing. The same gangs are killing each other in broad daylight on main streets during rush hour, and he's offering them basketball courts and "action plans". We'll be next, I guarantee it. The Americans better prepare their border crossings with Ontario and Quebec.

This is worse than apeasement they are doing, but complete surrender and a new form of confederate France unheard of. The 5th Republic is a deadhorse getting beat still.

Pouring money into neighborhoods who want to make their own law independently of France is basicaly subsidizing those states and making them stronger and vindicated.

It's screwed, because a rollback of this substatehood would mean an end to the disponibility of France to those substates, which would mean a defiance to socialism and corruption finger pointing as those too are systems which got French disponibility.

Look no further than a blackmail situation where the reds are poised to join the islamofascists to claim their goods.

By the way, while this is going on, there are major threats of strikes by public transportation across France...fun fun fun...

Authorities have so far found no way beyond appeals...though some opposition parties have suggested a symbolic measure -- the resignation of Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy blah blah blah...

Pweeze, stop ze wioting...Oui zurrendaire!

it remained unclear what could stop the violence

Lots of large bullets, tanks, mass arrests and immediate deportation usually covers it.

The mooslims have no reason to stop this intifada now until they get their own "peace process" and demands formulated by AlQaeda via rioter proxy.

We are watching the near implosion of a whole country. It's going to be very interesting to see where this is going to lead to, but I would not let up if I were muslims, they are in a good position to get almost anything they want very soon, after all.

Set aside the pathetic political leadership in France for a moment. Are the imam's and other "muslim leaders" calling for an end to the violence? Are the muslim parents of these vermin getting control of their children? Is the muslim community cooperating with police to find the leaders behind the riots?

While I have not seen anything in the media, the answer to these questions is most certainly, NO. The muslim islamist culture is the enemy within. France and other Eurabia nations better take the gloves off and deal with this enemy.

I think you would have a hard time getting any work done. Even taking a thimble size shot for each act you'd be drunk 24/7. :-) .

"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."

Yeah, that'll show 'em! Peace is bound to swiftly follow such a stirring comment.

Yes, but even the parents think it was Sarkozy's fault.

This is why we have the second amendment. It must be passionately protected.

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

It seems to me that people would tend to take a stand in their own neighborhoods, their own blocks, their own streets where people live that they know personally.

If there were bands of youths rioting and burning cars so close to my house that I could see and hear them, burning my neighbors' cars, I guarantee there would be at least six riflescopes out the windows on my little street alone. With all the guns supposedly owned in France, I'm surprised we're not hearing about enraged homeowners taking some of the rioters out. Maybe they are, but the French media doesn't want that particular message to spread.

Mark Steyn reports that police officers in Brussels have long been advised not to drink coffee in public during Ramadan. I had no idea that such concessions were being made for the islamofascists.
