Media's protection of Muslim rioters
WorldNetDaily ^ | 11/5/05 | Jack Cashill

Posted on 11/05/2005 11:34:11 AM PST by wagglebee

The Nov. 4 headline of the online version of Le Figaro, a leading French daily, translates as follows: "After a week of riots, the violence continues."

The next eight sub-headlines all refer to the riots as well. They all suggest just how serious a situation this is:

"Tonight: A bus depot and 400 cars destroyed."

"Cars burned and vandalized; city dwellers are exasperated."

"Firemen grow increasingly angry."

On this same day, none of the major left-leaning European English language media – the BBC, Guardian and Times in Britain and the Irish Times – chose to report on the frightening chaos in France, at least not on the front pages of their online publications.

Read carefully, the lead article in Figaro suggests the reason for this unwitting conspiracy of silence. It tells how more than 315 cars have been burned in the heart of Paris in the last two days. Bus service has been interrupted. A school has been torched, and police have been shot at. Nor has the violence been limited to Paris. Buildings have been burned in at least a dozen cities around the country.

In Figaro, all these accounts of violence are written in the passive voice. One must read more than two hundred words into the article before learning that there are actual émeutiers – rioters – causing the problem. The riots began a week earlier when two "adolescents" ran from the police who were checking identification papers. Although the police did not chase them, the two youths hid in an electrical power sub-station and electrocuted themselves. This, of course, has led not to a Darwin Award – that will come later – but to much official hand-wringing and investigations of the police as well as a week of madness throughout the nation.

As to the demographics of the two boys and the rioters, the unknowing reader is left without a clue for the first 700 words of the article, save for the fact that they represent part of a "more global, anti-institutional struggle."

The first reference to "musulmans" presents them not as the perpetrators of the violence, but rather as its victims. The article tells of how the explosion of a tear gas grenade in front of a mosque exacerbated the tensions.

"Someone attacked a mosque," the Figaro quotes a young Muslim as saying, "and do you think this ignoble act would pass without response?" Obviously not, although as Figaro notes, the circumstances of the attack remain unclear. One need not be a cynic or a racist to suspect an agent provocateur, a concept the French named, if not invented.

The fact that official France has cozied up to the dissident element in this global struggle has obviously bought it no reprieve. This seemingly unprovoked mayhem by their musulman friends has embarrassed the French media into awkward apologetics and the European media into silence. Observing them, one begins to understand how Hitler was allowed to prosper.

"France herself is being attacked by foreign hordes," claims the reliably outspoken Jean-Marie Le Pen at the end of the article. Indeed, in a continent of cowards and compromisers, it should not come as a surprise that citizens will turn to the first public figure who dares say anything at all.

(CNN was playing at the bank's monitos.)

And CNN's scrolling headline (while showing the fires and fighting) claims that "Damage was mostly limited to "immigrant" areas in Paris."

See?

Even the fair and balanced CNN isn't claiming ther were any Muslim rioters!

/sarchasm of truth

I saw a story today where the AP described the rioters that Hugo Chavez was speaking to in Argentina yesterday as "peaceful." It's unbelievable what they get away with; but unfortunately, I think that a large percentage of the public is too ignorant to realize it.

Good question.. And where is Michael Moore in all this?

I wish someone would ask him what he thinks should be done. Michael's a philosophicator who enjoys chatting about world troubles while eating fine food. He's just like the French and the diplomats at the UN.

In a way I think it might be better if news reports neglected to mention Muslims in the coverage. Think about it for a minute. Everything these animals do is to call attention to Islam. What better way to insult them than to treat them like ordinary hooligans?

Great question. But usually you do not get much analysis from the OM. They will never ask that question. Instead they will just knee-jerk characterize them as a downtrodden, repressed socioeconomic class. They are truly clueless.

No.

MANKIND (rather, "civilized mankind") will not survive this, unless the dominant Orwellian 1984 lies of "political correctness" are destroyed.

Liberalism will survive ONLY AS LONG AS THEY (liberals) CONTROL the mainstream political (and academic!) thought and press.

Hence, their (the international socialists') desperate efforts to "reign in" political speech and the Internet.

I think this unlikely. Islam contradicts human nature itself. If it were possible to overcome human nature, the communists would have figured out how to do so in the last century.

Liberalism also contradicts human nature, in many ways. On matters of the family, on matters of economics and human motivation, on transcendent matters like religion, Liberalism has nothing useful to say, offering only nonsense platitudes to fool the ignorant.

I have no doubt that Liberalism will transmute into something else during as islam is being de-fanged (or destroyed utterly, if that's they way they want it). That's because Liberalism (as I have observed before) is really just "philosophical entropy." It's just a fancy name for disordered thought. Liberalism is just the intellectual manifestation of the saying "s**t rolls downhill.

Remember, I qualified that as "civilized mankind" will not survive. 8<)

See, Islam HAS survived (despite it's 7th century practices, and despite what "mankind" has become in the intervening 1400 years!) BECAUSE it has had the GUN and the SWORD and the WILL to use them to enslave its people.

And those who are (in power) under Islam will USE all three to remain (in power). Regardless of who else they enslave.

You have revealed the problem, the Muslim terrorists, gang bangers and thugs have not appointed a Grand Mullah for the Paris area, so the French don't have anyone to surrender to, and the terrorism continues.

I suggest the French beg the terrorist to appoint a Grand Mullah to decree and enforce Shariah law so the French could surrender and convert.

I heard recently on the news that it's now been learned that the rioting is not sporadic and spontaneous but is being orchestrated. Perhaps Jacques Chirac and the French will learn that when a sunami of muslims from North Africa (estimated at 6 million, a significant percentage of France's population) is allowed to immigrate into your nation that the jihadists among them will do precisely what they're now doing. France might learn that their policy of appeasement (denouncing and opposing the Iraq war, etc.) will not succeed with the fanatics among them. In the Dec. '04 edition of Commentary, David Pryce-Jones had an article "The Islamization of Europe?" It describes a deplorable situation in the present and bleak prospects for the future. With a declining indigenous population European nations have imported vast hordes of muslims to clean their streets and do menial labor until their pension systems collapse. Of course it won't much bother a people who know they are headed for negative birthrate extinction. Maintaining a PC pretense about the true nature and extent of the rioting rather than decisively confronting the chaotic anarchy with force will only teach the Islamists that the infidels are weak and cowardly and they need only look for another pretext to instigate destruction and mayhem in the future. I must admit that I'm guilty of a little schadenfreud -- it couldn't have happened to a more smugly arrogant and hypocritical nation --- au revoir!!

More correctly, the French halted the Islamic invasion after it had overrun Spain (Iberia) when Charles Martel defeated them in the battle of Tours in 732. It wasn't until the late 15th century that Ferdinand and Isabella started to drive them from Spain. The Islamofascists still remember that. Their goal is still to follow Mohammed's example (who himself engaged in the slaughter of Arabs and Jews) and command to subdue the infidel.
