No mention of Muslims in the entire article.Vicomte13 says this has absolutely nothing to do with islam, and he/she is in France.

Vicomte13 says this has absolutely nothing to do with islam, and he/she is in France. that may well (now) be true. The catalyst however was Islamic outrage reagrding the electrocution of two kids who fled from the police - now the usual gangs of anarchist/socialist/communist thugs have taken over ... AND there are a large number of islamic radicals who are involved . . .

The French can't use just a little force, that just encourages the terrorists. They need to shoot a 1000 of them, but I suspect that Chirac will fire Sarkozy to appease the Muslims and declare victory. The real winners will be project thugs who will have partitioned France and prepared the ground for the future takeover of the national government.

Scant coverage in the U.S. media. Had riots been occuring in the U.S. on 100th the scale, you would have endless wall-to-wall coverage on every U.S. media outlet and there would be calls for Bush's resignation
Exactly almost 3,000 cars torched in 2 nights and riots in a score of cities in a country 1/5 the size of the US in population and hardly anything on American TV or in the papers.

Police are calling for a night-time curfewGee, there's a clever idea! It only took them a week and a half the think of it, too.

Right.....they're gonna have to have a suicide bomber blow up a bus to get the message out. Can it be far-off?

"If we start shooting them, outside groups will start smuggling them weapons and then we're all screwed." Makes total sense if you think about it.
Not really. There have been reports that their Bosnian brethren are already smuggling contraband, including weapons to them. And they are, just like the Bosnians and Taliban, financing themselves from the Afghan heroin trade.
Failing to take action now simply allows the enemy to stockpile weapons unmolested until they are ready.

French authorities are unable to do anything about these riots, yet they are able to issue a "chassis count" of destroyed vehicles every morning..

Hummmm....why would these "poor, disaffected youths" be burning down CHRISTIAN churches? Inquiring minds want to know...but the press doesn't.
