Thousands of cars have been set on fire

In typical Capitalist Pig fashion, when I read this I thought, "Thousands of cars destroyed?...now what publicly-traded company makes cars in France and Europe..."

Yes, France has a great heritage way back when.

If they would only acknowledge it instead of being embarrassed by it.

Close all the mosques, deport the imams who are feeding this hate, and if anybody has a problem with it, deport them too.

Belch. Sorry but I'll take the French (who have at least contributed a nice onion soup and crunchy potatoes to civilization) over the islamofascists.

But the Arabs gave us coffee. Starbucks is better than onion soup and the greek leeks are better onions anyway. Plus without the fwench the fruitloop formerly known as prince would never have made that awful Raspbery Beret song...

"an unprecedented national crisis"??

I think Melanie needs to brush up on her history a bit....by French standards, far from being unprecedented, this is fairly run of the mill.

..."French policy in general has been blamed for herding poor Arabs into suburban ghettoes where they have been left to fester in high unemployment and poverty."

How can this BE in socialist utopia?

The director of the Great Mosque of Paris, Dalil Boubakeur, has previously suggested that France should be regarded as a ‘house of covenant’, by which he appears to mean that France should enter into an agreement with its Muslims to grant them autonomy within the state.

It's coming. Surrender: phase 1.

If the French government cracks down, watch for muslim reinforcements to start coming in to join the the jihad. If France does not crack down, partioning of muslim sectors will no longer be de facto but for all intents and purposes a state within a state. Cooling off of current situation to a manageable situation will only allow more immigrants to join in the next round of battles. I see no good way out without massive force and restructuring of French society, not likely. Kiss France goodbye. Au revoir!

Islam's Jihad against Europe is under way. Half the Moslems in Europe live in France. Are you listening Europe. Londonistan, Bagdad on the Seine, Damascus on the Rhine, Andadulsia (Moorish Spain), mabye France will be renamed Gaul. They used ot have courage there and a warrior caste. They held off the Roman Legions for 7 years at least. Now their Government is trying to appease these Monsters. Where is the Modern Charles Martel? Nowhere to be seen, sadly.

As someone else pointed out, Marx was in favor of banning all immigration and emmigration. Socialism has nothing to offer immigrants but handouts.

Well it's been over 60 years since we last went to their rescue, but it sounds like the French have dug themselves into another hole again. It's getting to be like clockwork.

From Monday night there will be a curfew imposed on Raincy.

Raincy is a neighbouring suburb to Clichy-sous-Bois were the unrest started 27 October. This is the first curfew that has been declared during the present riots. It is an exceptional measure, according to the mayor, Eric Raoult. There is no information at present how long the curfewis expected to last. [NB: Comment by idiot journo, not ScaniaBoy ;-) ]

(All according Paris, TT on Svenska Dagbladet website.)

Present car-count: 4700
