It was like pulling teeth. I think reporters there are under a lot of pressure to bury the Muslim angleThey've a potential consumer market they are trying to appeal to. Core Islamacism rejects capitalism and consumerism, as I understand it. Perhaps, the MSM sees a new market challenge, and possibly some see the capitalist markets as a means to assimilating the youths/rioters/Islamacists.
There's a danger, IMHO, in the MSM not quite really understanding the nature of beliefs.

I got the distinct impression from all of my AM radio news this morning that the unrest had died off significantly. The media is doing its best to ignore this.
And the band plays on.

The protests, blamed on racism and unemployment, receded in the Paris region after shots were fired at police the previous night but continued unabated in other parts of France in the early hours of Tuesday, the Interior Ministry said.The politicians should be cautious about the reasons they state for the rioting because the next statement will be that "poverty is the cause".....and France and Europe will go down the wrong path in their own War On Poverty like we did....leaving all their inner cities occupied by Islamic militants bent in Islamizing all of Europe.

The radio news I heard this morning: With a firm hand and a velvet glove, the Prime Minister announced that cities may enforce a curfew.
Such imagery! Such strength! I was absolutely stunned by the firm resolve!

You know what will get France to take this seriously: If the US issues a travel warning. Yep. I know they've put out some warnings but not sure if anything official from State has come down.

This has probably been mentioned already in this thread, but the smashing of the Australian terrorist plot makes clear that the rioting in France is part of an orchestrated Mohammedan separatist campaign timed to coincide with Ramadan.

I think they had some type of Nazi demonstration (regarding the danger of the neighborhood) in a "dangerous" neighborhood in Toledo, Ohio. The locals went wild but I believe that order was restored within a day without any Federal assistance. The nazis marched through a working middle class largely polish and slavic neighborhood. The locals from other neighborhoods (let's be honest here - they were black gangs) took that as a opportunity to loot and pillage.

These RATS will pick any target that will bend to them..As all rats they go after a sure thing..And France was first and then comes other weak countries..Strange how rats will turn on the very people that tried to help them before we went into Iraq..

Tiki even mentioned that the Muslim's want to be Muslim's in France not French. That was cool. Tiki's stock went way up in my book.

I was thinking this very thing this morning. Worrisome.

My hope is the riots go on and on, with France ramping up one weak responce after another, Until the Whole of France and EU sees that the results of a policy of Unlimited Immigration from countries who colonize areas and bring them under Muslim law..IN Detroit suburbs we have call to prayer blasted while church bells are prohibited..These riots seem like a rehearsal for some future action, and from what we have seen, a truly violent attack would succeed in taking out the Government in France while they tried to decide how to respond as they are doing now. If I were a Frenchman I would be very very worried about the takeover the Country.

There's a danger, IMHO, in the MSM not quite really understanding the nature of beliefs. To them, religion is "the opiate of the masses." Give the people cake, and religion will no longer be necessary.
Bad assumption.
The truth is that a religion that promises an afterlife will always defeat a secular army in battle, because the religious fighters have something to die for.

There were 4 shootings in Camden and Philadelphia yesterday.
I believe they were all teens. France has rioting teens burning vehicles and businesses. Maybe a travel warning to Philadelphia would be in order? America had 16,000 murders in one year.
America seem to be more dangerous than France or Baghdad.
