that I’m copying the first 43 comments here, since pages at that site only stay online for a couple of days. I’m glad to report a falling off in the very regrettable tendency seen in some conservative venues in recent years, to indulge in
at the thought of the decline of Europe. People see that the disaster France faces as a result of its Muslim-friendly policies is something that threatens the entire West, and they are talking about what needs to be done about it. That said, the L-dotters are having a little understandable fun at the French’s expense, for example: “If the French just pull all their troops out of Iraq, this unpleasantness will stop.” And this one: “I guess the French need to ask themselves, ‘Why do they hate us?’”
Rioting spreads in suburbs of Paris

Paris—Unrest spread across troubled suburbs around Paris in a sixth night of violence Tuesday as police clashed with angry youths and scores of vehicles were set afire in at least nine towns, local officials said. Police in riot gear fired rubber bullets at advancing gangs of youths in Aulnay-sous-Bois—one of the worst-hit suburbs /break/ France-Info radio said some 150 blazes were reported in garbage bins, cars and buildings across Seine-Saint-Denis.
Comments:
No this is not a repost, this is night number six. Now the violence has spread from six suburbs to nine towns. The arrest of 4 or thirteen people at a time isn’t going to put a dent in the rioting either.

This is New York, Detroit, LA, Chicago, London, San Paulo, Barcelona, Dublin, Rome and every other Western city within two generations if we continue the ridiculous liberal/lefty policy of letting all the Moslems who can fill out a form into our countries.
Islam is unable to live with non-muslims.

I’ve been following this story for 4 or 4 days in the blogshpere. I believe this is the first MSM article I’ve read about it. Or maybe CNN covered it yesterday.
I don’t think we should gloat. Yes, some really shortsighted French policies are yeilding their inevitable harvest. But we must hope and pray that France can turn this around. A Muslim France would be a serious threat to the entire world.

Ou la la! Problems in Paradise. French colonialism/ socialism has come home to roost.
Whenever I’ve gone to the Cligancourt metro stop to visit the Puces I have always felt uneasy with the hostile black/Algerian/colonial cacophony that greets the visitor. It’s like the Paris souk.
Too bad, Paris is a beautiful city, but this garbage will grow and go on and make it’s way into a political movement (because Chirac and Villipan are stupid and can deal only with the world of the Eliesay Palace, not the reality of Paris today) and will eventually make its way to the chic center of town. Before you know it there will be demonstrations on the Place de la Concord and the Champs Eliesay (sp?).
You know what is about to hit the fan in France, not the time to buy a 2nd home in the French countryside, non, non, non.

Withhold the public subsides….checks/debit cards are not in the mail.
They are raised by the mosque and family to fight infidels since birth….governments are going to have to hook behavior to rewards…..multiculturalism does not work.
Maybe governments can redefine minorities to a group that is less than .05% of a population….for everyone else it is merit and good behavior following the laws.

Rioting spreads.. “as youth unrest caused mounting strains within France’s conservative government.” (Conservative.. Ha!)
Black youths who felt “frustration at their failure to get jobs and recognition in French society.”
Socialism fails as always and attempts to lay it at the door of Conservatism.
Reminds me of Dingy Harry Reid.

Until France understands that this rioting is anarchy, the residents of Paris will continue to live in daily fear.
Can any one of us predict with 100% certainty that our own government understands this?

Article says that Villepin’s Equal Opportunities Minister is named Azouz Begag. (A portent of things to come in France, no doubt.) Azouz is upset that two youths who SHOT AT POLICE while they fled were called “scum” by Villepin’s main political rival. Hmmm, any guesses as to whether the two youths were Muslims?

Simply appalling. As easy as it is to laugh at the idiots’ troubles, it really is not funny. The death of France is serious business.
A low birthrate means imported workers. And if those workers are moslem, they won’t assimilate, period. In fact, they will unapologetically seek to destroy you.
France is the canary in the european coal mine. Britain and Italy aren’t too far behind. Only Germany has had the sense to keep a lid on the moslem threat.
What can be done? Unapologetic support of euro parties who seek to limit moslem immigration, or even ship them back to Africa.
These people are currently labeled “racists of the far right,” by the MSM. But it is only a question of how many schoolgirl beheadings, London/Madrid bombings, “honor killings” (talk about an oxymoron!) etc it takes to wake up the silent majority.
America needs a France, a Christian, Catholic France, and we should offer military aid, if necessary to destroy the moslem threat.
Its time to declare war. They already have.

Perhaps when Muslims reach a certain percentage of the population in any country, Islamic law is the only answer. Beheadings, stonings, cutting off hands etc does deter crime. What would Quaddafy, Saddam or the Ayatollahs would do if their “youths” started rioting. Six days? Six hours would be more like it.
There’s a reason Shiara (howeveryouspellit) Law exists. Maybe “Passionate” Arabs cannot live in free society anymore than white sharks can swim with a a seal pod. Maybe Islam and peace are incompatible. In our politically correct world, our pacifist “leaders” have convinced themselves all cultures are equal and can coexist, but when you look at the way the Islamic world is governed, and how Islamics behave when the boot heel is lifted from their necks, you have to wonder if these people CAN behave unless forced to.

I read elsewhere that Muslim immigrants to Europe mostly just want to get on the dole and re-create the life they just left, not take the jobs natives won’t do. No interest in becoming French-like etc. High birthrate vs. locals assures Sharia will eventually become law of the land. They can fight this out for themselves, thank you very much.

I’m wondering why the only references to who these ‘angry youths’ were: ‘two teenagers of African origin’ and ‘a tear gas attack on a mosque further inflamed emotions’, (of who, pray tell?)…Naw, I’m not wondering anymore; the news source is the AP and the country is France.
I hope our gov’t is paying attention. We need Americans loyal to our cause monitoring the extremists in the mosques in this country, and pronto!

“ The unrest in the eastern suburbs, heavily populated by North African and black African minorities, was sparked by youths’ frustration at their failure to get jobs and recognition in French society. “
Ok, I’ll take the bait.
Black Africans are just blacks , but North Africans would be like Egyptians , Sudanese , Nigerians , Algerians , Morrocans , and that would be Muslims , right ?
So, why didn’t Reuters just say they were Muslims , instead of calling them North Africans ?
I reckon Reuter’s (who is as anti-American as you can get) just doesn’t want the “ Religion of Peace “ to be seen in a bad light.
So, it seems the Blacks and the Muslims have a common ground. When you don’t get your way , burn your own neighborhood down.

The history of mankind in a nutshell is that when a nation forgets God it starts a process of getting a nation in such dire straits only God can save them. France is proud of their post-Christian status, let’s see how long that lasts.
