hahah they are reloading...
Umm, how about this: They got the story wrong.
"Anybody want to speculate why the Canadian Press is using a "calm" headline when all the other stories make it sound like it's getting worse?
"
Maybe they are afraid the ragheads there will get a "good idea"!
Maybe the media in Canada is trying to avoid encouraging Mulsim in Canada to do the same? That, or to avoid giving Quebec any ideas...
The welfare checks must come around the third or fourth of the month, I guess.
Here's hoping the postman delivers it to their work boots, where it will never be found.
Must be due to calls to prayer and a Class V upload at the local mosques.
Maybe now they will print "DANGER - HIGH VOLTAGE" signs in Arabic.
"Youths."
Nice euphemism for vicious thugs (who happen to be Muslims in this instance).
How bout Roudy Lads?
Headlines coming soon:
"De Villepin Asks for Global Peacekeepers Now"
"Chirac Remains on Vacation"
"France Seeks World Help"
"Governor of France Catherine la Blanc Remains in Seclusion"
"Paris Mayor Raymonde Naginne Screams Git Us Outta Here Now, You &^&*%&!"
"Americans Stingy With Aid to Paris"
"President Bush Slow with Military Aid to Paris"
End of Ramadan. They can eat sweets now. Maybe it was just withdrawal symptoms after a month without sugar.
Welcome to FReeRepublic.
Great name.
Oh, and the BBC has this... though it's in regards to Thursday night...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4405620.stm
The thing is... they haven't been rioting during the DAY... which is why I suspect this Canadian article is going for that angle... just wait till night time...
Looks like the French chickens have come home to roost~!
Cos its Canada and they don't want to upset their multicultural applecart. Canada doesn't have the problems (yet) Europe does, and the U.S. if it doesn't curtail its illegal immigration. Denmark and Sweden are having similar problems, but no one in Canada wants to talk about that, can't offend anyone. So far I've only seen it on the BBC world news and on line.
Over 10% of France is muslim and not integrated into society. They come from opressive and poor regimes, but hey, its all our fault cos we are racist, doncha know. Excellent article here written in 2003:

As nearly every Western country absorbs a fast growing Muslim minority, every Westerner should look closely at France. A French failure to integrate Muslims could lead to a general European and Western failure. Those who don't believe in the clash of civilizations might at least see a clash between traditional Islamic values and Western republican values. This raises the question of the compatibility of Islam with secular democracy (separation of church and state) and human rights (especially the rights of women and of non-Muslims).

Economics plays a major role in the "Muslim problem". The overwhelming poverty in Middle Eastern and North African countries, ruled for centuries by Islam, drives their populations to desperation. The Islamists, nostalgic for the glorious past of the Caliphates, place the blame for these conditions mainly on Westerners, rejecting the fact that the problem has its roots in the failure of their own societies. With one of the highest unemployment levels for youth among OECD countries, France is in a bad position to provide a model of integration.
"The unrest cast a cloud over the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month."
- Isn't it ironic that the religion of peace often chooses its own holy month to instigate violence?
Christmas is coming, I better get ready to riot and pillage. </sarc>
How many riots start at the end of a big holiday meal even when the weather is good? Ever heard of the big Thanksgiving riots?
Don't worry: the weekend is coming up.
They simply chose to file their report in the early dawn hours after another night of chaos. Every morning during this spree has been calm. The headline falls under the MSM "fake but accurate" exception to common sense.
