What are our appeasement-loving friends over at the DUmp saying about the Paris Intifada? A few DUmmies are actually speaking sense, believe it or not. Most, however, are trying to understaaand the "poor" rioters, and take into account their "feeeeeeeeeelings."
Here's a sample:

12. People have different reasons for rioting
Lack of jobs, lack of hope to get anywhere beyond the ghetto, simple desire to do mayham and get away with it, upset with global politics, all sorts of things. Humanity is not very humane many times, both on a large and a small scale.

1. For all we know, these copycat attacks and the attacks that have
Spread to other regions of France, might very well have been co-ordinated by the Neo-Nazi and National Front movements.
I think the original rioting in Parisien suburbs was 100% legit, and for the reasons that were stated, the young men being electrocuted, the immigrants beef over not being given a fair deal etc.
However I must say that I think the subsequent attacks throughout France and now these outside incidents in Berlin and Brussels are incredibly suspicious.
The Extreme Far-Right has gotten involved in such things before, and for the same reason as they would now...to give ALL immigrants a bad name and to attempt to whip up anti-immigrant hysteria throughout the European continent.
I bet that bastard Jean-Marie Le Pen is loving this.

17. The problem is people think radical Islam is going to "take over" the West
LOL. Gimme a break! The fear is paranoia. This paranoia was used to get America's support for the invasion of Iraq, an invasion that is fomenting radical Islam. I don't trust people who tremble in fear over radical Islamists. They are used by war profiteers and bigots to justify more death and killing.

28. There isn't alot of Islamic terrorism in Europe
People are taking a few murders and one London terrorist attack and deciding it means we're at "war" with Muslims. I think the radical Islamic movement is sort of like the Weathermen in the USA. Did anybody think the radical Leftists in the Weathermen were on the verge of taking over the federal government? No.
19 hijackers does not a "war" make. Sure, radical Islam is a problem, but let's not exaggerate it. The exaggeraters (like Bush) are acually turning moderate Muslims into radicals.
I think 99 percent of Muslims do respect and abide by the traditions of their new country in the same way that America's Amish or orthodox Jews do.

66. Of course gangsters should be in prison
You are advocating a short-term solution to the problem by advocating a "give 'em hell" attitude. I'd like to see you advocate longer-term solutions for France, including affirmative action to combat racists, greater funds spent on education for poor French citizens, and greater respect by the police for the plight of the poor. The rioters won this "war" because these solutions **will** be put in place. France has no choice. Riots in America during the 1960s were successful in changing the system as well.
