According to its Office du Tourisme, the big event in Evreux this past weekend was supposed to be the annual fête de la pomme, du cidre et du fromage at the Place de la Mairie. Instead, in this charmingly smoldering cathedral town in Normandy, a shopping mall, a post office, two schools, upwards of 50 vehicles and, oh yes, the police station were destroyed by — what's the word? — "youths".

In Normandy, it's not just the cheese that's soft and runny.

The same could be said of France as a whole.

Priceless quote:

" I'd wager the "French" "youth" find that headline as hilarious as the Jets in West Side Story half a century ago, when they taunted Officer Krupke with "society's" attempts to "understand" them: we're depraved on account of we're deprived. Perhaps some enterprising Paris impresario will mount a production of West Eid Story with choreographed gangs of North African Muslims sashaying through the Place de la Republique, incinerating as they go. "

West Eid Story. :^D

"West Eid Story" LOL!

Great article, as usual.

Incidentally, I read on another thread that only about 30% of those arrested actually qualified as "youth," by which I assume they meant under 21.

Steyn is right, though; it's all moving a lot faster than anyone expected.

It's like the gun injury figures: Statistics on the number of "children" injured by guns in the home include "children" aged 19 and 20 who were using them in drug wars.

Jean-Louis Debré, seemed affronted by the very idea that un soupçon de carnage should be allowed to distract from the cheese-tasting. "A hundred people have smashed everything and strewn desolation," he told reporters. "Well, they don't form part of our universe."

Maybe not, but unfortunately you form part of theirs.

Steyn is brilliant here. The part about multiculturism embracing the worst of both cultures is all too true. But I couldn't laugh at his vision of a Europe abandoned to the Mohammedans.

The Mohammedans' goal in France is to get control of its military with its thermonuclear weapons and delivery systems.

I didn't think this would be possible, but there are reports that Chirac can't call out his military to quell the riots because the the high percentage of Moslems in that force.

I thought they just wanted to be left alone...with the welfare payments that are their birthright, of course.

I may have read on one of the threads that it's 30%

I was told the figure is 23 percent of the EMs.

"The changes in Europe are happening far faster than most people thought."

Actually, they are happening a little faster than Freepers thought, but the liberal establishment never saw this coming at all, and are still in denial about what it means. All they've been telling us is that the EU will supplant the USA as the great social and economic power of the future. It appears now, however, that the EU and its constituent countries - are just beginning a protracted fight for their very survival. And they appear on the verge of losing Round 1.
