Paris Riots Spread to Brussels, Berlin
The riots that started 12 days ago in the impoverished suburbs of Paris and spread to many regions in the country are already spreading to neighboring countries. Cars were set on fire in Strasbourg, Baurdeau, Dijon, Lille, Marseille and Niza, as well as in Berlin and Brussels.
The 12th night of violence affected 300 towns in France and terrified the Old Continent. Radical Islamists opened fire against the police. 34 policemen were injured, the condition of two of them is critical. A man died after extremists beat him up. 1,400 cars were burnt down. French President Jacques Chirac vowed to impose curfews.

French intifada targets churches
The definitive French newspaper, Le Monde, reported deep in its headline Nov. 7 story that for the first time French street terrorists have turned their "colere" (anger) on "eglises" (churches). Overnight, they attacked one church in the town of Sete in the south of France, and another in the town of Lens in the north.
In Arabic, "intifadòa" means "shudder, awakening, uprising." A mounting, 11-day long attack on policemen, institutions of state, and now Christian churches by bands of angry, Arabic-speaking youth would seem at least as worthy of that term in Paris as it is in Jerusalem.

What is needed is: OPERACION 1492.
Feeble response would indicate French effectively surrendered on day one; didn't announce it.
Did the French stand any longer than this, against the Germans?
When do cease fire negotiations begin? Where is Kofi?
you bet your ass.
Remember how the media was all over the story of the french police firing a canister of tear gas into a mosque a few days ago.
THey will bury the news of any church burnings on the last paragraph on page 16 of any news paper.
euro multi-jerkovs will never open their eyes
Frankreich ist kapuut!
Look, lets be fair. The insurgents have a point. I suggest that French authorities consider hammering out a two-state solution - Francistan and France, side by side, forever friendly! :-)

One of the riot sites from the other night was a small town in the provence of Normandy. Don't know how close it was to the beachheads and cemetaries.
I agree with you completely. France is indeed an insult to our fallen warriors. We need to repatriate them as soon as possible. I wonder if we could have a FR poll on this?
The french need to ask themselves, 'why do they hate us?'.
Ooh, they'll be quaking with fear now.
Ditto
Our local Fox station here in Los Angeles covered the French riots and mentioned that the rioteers were mostly muslims. Then they mentioned the 500-600 thousand muslims in southern California. And I thought, great. They are gonna talk about how Americans fear that these muslims might also riot. How wrong I was. The story was about if the MUSLIMS were worried about how this may affect THEIR image.
Frankly my dear MSM, we no longer give a #$!.
"Only" a handful of churches have been attacked?
Exactly how many churches need to be attacked before we get the message this insurrection has become, or always was, islam vs. Christianity/Western civilization? Burning down Churches isn't the typical activity of people who are angry because of high unemployment in their neighborhoods.
In light of your mention of the US war dead in resting in France, I thought that this observation from Hugh Fitzgerald's article on the long-gone French Algeria ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1517782/posts ):
"The French cemeteries all over Algeria have been vandalized; the tombstones taken, the bones unearthed and thrown about -- they are, after all, merely the remains of Infidels, and deserve no respect."
The very same thing is teking place in old Italian colonial cemeteries in Somalia. Should the "religion of love and peace" (US State Dept.'s description) take over France, you can count on the desecration of the remains of American soldiers.
Liberalism and multiculturalism are cancers that blind people to truth. Moderate Islam is a myth that has been created by western liberals to prop up their multicultural house of cards. Are there moderate Muslim individuals? Yes, they are Muslims who take their religion as seriously as John Kerry takes Catholicism. That's not the same thing as the constant liberal fantasy we hear about jihad as a distortion of islam's peaceful, tolerant nature though.
Every time I've been unemployed for a long time, the first thing that crosses my mind is to burn houses of worship to the ground. After a car dealership or two, that is.
Doesn't everyone do that? I thought it was quite common.
In light of the lying nature of the leftists who populate "journalism" in both Europe and the USA, I expect they'd have to torch a major Cathedral like Chartres before we'd get any report of it in the MSM.
The Muslims have burned down all three churches in France, but no one was hurt as none of the three have been occupied in over a century...
