Give the gangs skills for IEDs. I bet the French will collpase just for several IEDs to kill off some stinking French.
" criminal gangs and possibly Islamist movements "
There's a difference?
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.
It's possible, but consider this bit about the school district that serves the area in which I live:
"The Richardson Independent School District, which has the highest number of exemplary schools in Texas, 17 according to Texas Education Agency ratings, has consistently performed well despite a formidable challenge: The district's students come from backgrounds that embrace 67 different languages."
If I drive around the commercial areas near where I live it's like going to 20 different countries. Yet we have no street violence at all. However, several people of Middle Eastern descent were arrested a couple of years back for running a charity whose real purpose was to finance terrorists.

Drug gangs. The police crackdown was hurting their business.
At least she is thinking (albeit wrongly) and not feeling.
In fact, it might be a good idea to start now, so we will be ahead of the curve.
In God We Trust…..Semper Fi!
Drugs are one of the major sources of income for terrorists.
They don't belong to an organized gang, they're DEMOCRATZ!...............
'"'I think there is no link between Islam and violence,' she added."
Surely this deserves some kind of an award.'
Give me the award too, then.
She's right.
There is no link between Islam and this.
Now that there are riots around France. It will be interesting to see how France---we must "not invade Iraq" is going to handle the new reality of world Muslim terrorism and terrorist wannabes. France is the country that banned the wearing of head scarfs in school by Muslim girls and then tried to figure out a way to defuse the potential crisis. France is a country that demands "conformity" and holds its language and culture as needing protection for any forms of change.
France is on a collision course with reality and considering the dirty tricks they have played on the US in the past, payback will be interesting to watch.
Lets add all of this up. All of these people...either themselves or their parents...gave up on their Muslim homelands because there weren't ahead financially. They saw corruption throughout their local government. They saw absolutely no democracy in their Muslim homelands. So they came to France, Germany, Denmark, Italy, and the Netherlands. Suddenly, they saw vast increase in thier income. They saw a house that was twice as good as the old one They had electricity 24 hours a day. They didn't have a Mullah knocking at their door to ask why they weren't at prayers. But as time went by, they really didn't attempt to integrate into the local society. They didn't blend in or take the education required. They got the second-rate jobs. They were no longer satisfied with the basic income they were making. They were unhappy with the slums they had created by sticking to thier own brotherhood. Crime expanded out of this situation. Gangs were part of the culture, and drugs were the method of making an income. Have I missed anything?
In every single country mentioned above....there is an effort to "fix" this problem. The natives are tired of thier behavior and sick of the no integration into their society. These punks who think they are settling a score...are simply opening doors for politicians to discuss terminating the neighborhoods involved, and getting people to move back to thier old homeland. Its only a matter of time.
"France is on a collision course with reality and considering the dirty tricks they have played on the US in the past, payback will be interesting to watch."
"Payback." Interesting.
Are you suggesting that the US has something to do with these riots?
Well, unless you count the high rate of Islamic violence every place Islam exists... or unless you listen to what the people speaking loudest for Islam say, which is that they want to kill everybody who isn't one of them and about 2/3 of the ones who are.
On Thursday, police reported few violent incidents -- apart from arson attacks on 600 vehicles in the region.
Yup, and other than that, 4 cops shot by rioters and a disabled woman trapped on a bus, doused with petrol and set on fire by same - it was a calm, peaceful night!
They acted up in concert with the night of power during Ramadan. No coincidence. I even wonder if anyone was electrocuted or if that's another victim of the truth.
kneck? What the ...
Yeh, you know, the thing that knecks your head to your shoulders.
