I think most of these youths aren't practicing their religion strongly," said de Wenden, research director at the Paris-based Center of Political Studies and Research, said in an interview. "I think there is no link between Islam and violence," she added.

She'll say the same thing in 5 years behind her burkah.

I had a feeling that the first comment would refer to that quote.

These appear to be more racial than religious, and not riots in the usual sense of the word but small roving bands committing acts of vandalism.

Surely this deserves some kind of an award.

There may be a connection to an Algerian Islamist organisation, the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC).

See my update here.

Nine people detained in a series of raids west of Paris Monday are suspected members of the GSPC, officials have said. They were being questioned for a second day Tuesday at the headquarters of the DST domestic intelligence agency.

She exhibits the mindset behind the riots. DENIAL and REFUSAL to accept responsibility. It's like Bagdad Bob all over again,,,,denying the obvious and looking stupid with a straight face.

Who, in her opinion, is the group that declares 'jihads' - the Mormons?

It's time to call this what it really is-an insurrection.

Classic moonbat droppings, French (spit ... spit) style.


I do hope she has a long and slender kneck. It makes it so much easier to hack off the head that way.

Of course not.
President Bush called it the "Religion of Peace," right?

So the riots have no relation at all to Islam? Think again, Catherine.
