And I was thinking poverty and racism only occurs in the USA. Who knew?

Here's an article from that needs a barf alert attached to it. More appeasement. They just don't get it.

You would think the Mooslems would be more grateful to France for not supporting the war and all. </sarc

Poverty is a classification. The shantytown residents are not in fact in poverty; they are cut out from the benefits of capitalism. Racism is a secondary issue having more political overtones than economic. The solution is integration, not of the people, but of their property rights into the national registration system. There is a lot of potential capital in shantytown if they would do this.

This sort of thing is going on in dozens of places around the world. What’s funny is that this time it’s caused by poverty, but in other places it’s caused by rebels, or a break-away state, or insurgences, or by being occupied, and the news media has several other reasons I’ve missed.

The bottom-line is that Muslims routinely take-over an area and then insist that Muslim laws be the law of the land – even though the land might eventually be North America (USA).

The basic reason for these riots is that the French police dared to come into “their” community to enforce French law. Where the Muslim now live belongs to Islam, not the French. Annandale, Northern VA could be next.

Every hostile conflict occurring on the face of the earth today is being initiated by Islam and its followers. Am I wrong? In this country our only shortfalls are being caused by unions, Democrats, Hollywood, and the so-called Main Stream Media. But my point is that Islam is a world problem and needs a fix.

They blame this on everything BUT the Islamic culture, which prevents them from integrating into French society.

They're all wrong. Since the media has forced themselves to avoid reporting the real cause then they need another one. Even though they'll try blaming President Bush, it won't work.

May I suggest it's all a conspiracy led by French car dealers to increase sales.

"Poverty, Racism Blamed for French Riots"

Hah, if true, all of Islam would have been up in flames 24/7 from day one.
