#4 no religious dimension given to the riots.

Very dangerous if this becomes the accepted view. If the EUniks don't learn from burning cities, the price of insight only goes up. The era of appeasement should be over. Now.

There are poor marginalized people everywhere. At the moment, only some are organized to tear down the nations in which they live. What do they have in common, one might ask?

Islam is both a religion and an ideology of conquest. Pretending this is not so has not been working well of late. Perhaps grasping the obvious would be in order.

I am sure the French will start passing "resolutions" as a result of these meetings. * sigh *

#6 I think that we should submit this to the UNSC and get some kind of a dialogue and resolution out of it. Then Kofi can direct traffic and caterers.

BTW, what is going on in the meantime on the Cote D'Ivoire? Can they spare any troops?

The really nice hotels are pretty far away from the...er, yoots, oui? Perhaps they should meet in Cannes instead.

#8 I think that four countries (UK,US,India and Israel) should help France by creating a "roadmap to peace" - we need to get the Peace Processâ¢ going.

#9 Crackdown? I don't think so. The government is negotiating the handover of various territories, and working out the best way to spin this to the French public.

#10 Btw, last night official figure : 1295 burnt cars (plus some trucks, including 18 wheelers) spread all over France, and for the first time about 30 vehicles torched in Paris itself, a suburbian house was burned with an aged couple having to be rescued, a mall was ransacked, more warehouses and businesses were torched, etc, etc... again, this appears to be more like an urban guerilla playing cat-and-mouse with LE than real rioting; there is at least some organization behind it, for example the police busted a firebomb factory.

#11 Time to bring in the UN. This is too serious for unilateral action on the part of one country. Allow it to simmer in the UN for 6 months or a year while threating them with resolutions. I have no doubt that with the help of the UN, the French will show the rest of us how to oppose the rape of their country in a civilized manner.

#12 threating - It's a cross between threatening and threading.

#13 That's funny, one of my first reaction to this, apart for the concern and sadness for the thousands of homes in deep trouble because their property has been destroyed for nothing, was to think how ironic this whole thing was.

I mean, the french Enlightened Elites (pols, media, academics,...) have been pro-arab since about 38 years ago, and the coverage of the al aqsa intifada was very, very antizionist, pro paleostinian, up to the point of explicit complicty with the al dura forgery. Thus, the whole point of this was to justify the arab narratives of this war; the gvt started backpedaling on this a short while ago, since it had facilitated the spread of violent antisemitsm in France (according to police intelligence, only 7% of the antisemite violence is done by the far right, the reste being done by "disaffected mulsim youths"... french are NOT antisemite, dammit!).

So, by cavorting to the arab version of this war for political and ideological reasons (see my recent post about "de Villepin", who's a man, saying that Israel was to be a parenthesis in ME's history), official France not only has given "justifications" to the anti-jew violence, but it has also given some to the "francifada", french intifada, where the muslim youths play the part of the "oppresses paleostinians"(Tm), and the french authorities are the "Evil Zionists"(Tm).

Remember that the islamoleftist alliance has been pushing the idea of the "indigenous people" and "post colonial colonialism" : France has a colonial gestion of its muslim population, and is a colonial power on its own soil, while the true "indigenous people" of France are... the muslim migrants! And we all know that the sacred duty of an oprressed people is to free itself from colonialism...

#14 "The French entity out of the occupied territories!"

"Free the Clichy-sous-Bois strip"!

"No more settlements in Evreu!"

#15 where the muslim youths play the part of the "oppresses paleostinians"(Tm), and the french authorities are the "Evil Zionists"(Tm).

heh! I just can't wait to see the Beserkely/Sheehan crowd with their Chiraq = Hitler signs and France out of Paris NOW! signs.

It all works, ya see, because Chiraq intends to surrender Paris on November 11 and move the government to Vichy where Chirac will rule the French territories ...as a Nazi.

#16 Some of the 'rioters' have said their actions were in response to Sarkozy clamping down on drug trafficking and other organized crime in the cites. Gives credence to this analysis of street gangs and insurgency.

#18 I can't help my feelings of indifference. I still have visions of Dominique de Villepin following Colin Powell around while we were trying to seek support for the war in Iraq. Powell would try to seek support from a government one day and De Villepin would be there the next day trying to undermine our efforts. As far as I'm concerned I hope they burn down De Villepin's house. Just leave the art, cheese, and red wine please.

#19 The wine is not acceptable. The art is blasphemous against the Prophet and making cheese takes work.

Sorry, but in a short while you won't have any of them left.

#22 Frank:
A battery one like this or pneumatic or corded?

#23 3dc, I would say corded (you dont was to run out halfway thru the yoot) and a 1/2" ship auger.

#24 I'm not sure about the French, but the Danes are about ready to start cracking heads. If France actually grew a pair and started taking control away from these crackheads and religious fanatics, most of Europe would follow suit. SOMEBODY HAS TO BE FIRST! It might as well be France. If they fail, the entire western half of the continent is in danger. Poland and the Baltic states don't have many muslim immigrants yet, neither does Czech Republic, Slovakia, or Hungary. Bulgaria and Romania have an indigenous muslim population that hasn't yet given anyone too many problems. The entire former nation of Yugoslavia needs to be stomped, and HARD. I hope the Euroweenies learn before it's too late.

As for torture, Fred, the most effective torture for a muslim is to break his right hand with a ball peen hammer - several times. He can't eat with his left hand - it's unclean...

#27 I suggest forming an EU commission immediately (i.e in the next six months) to study the problem and issue a white paper.

#28 Here's a perfect take on the rioters, from Stephen Sondheim's lyrics for West Side Story:

ACTION
Dear kindly social worker,
They say go earn a buck.
Like be a soda jerker,
Which means like be a schumck.
It's not I'm anti-social,
I'm only anti-work.
Gloryosky! That's why I'm a jerk!

BABY JOHN: (As Female Social Worker)
Eek!
Officer Krupke, you've done it again.
This boy don't need a job, he needs a year in the pen.
It ain't just a question of misunderstood;
Deep down inside him, he's no good!

ACTION
I'm no good!

ALL
We're no good, we're no good!
We're no earthly good,
Like the best of us is no damn good!
