I don't recall seeing any reports of this last month. Maybe I just missed them?

And yes, Reuters still refuses to identify the youths as Muslims.

Does anyone (other than Reuters readers) still think Muslim immigrants and their descendants such as these, intend to join existing society rather than transform it?

Cars torched over "calm" French New Year
Tue Jan 1, 2008 6:51am EST

PARIS (Reuters) - Vandals torched 372 cars as France celebrated the New Year, down on the figure last year after a night the police described as "relatively calm".

Cars are burned fairly regularly in France and the image of vehicles in flames in poor suburbs became symbolic of riots in 2005 when angry youths set fire to thousands of cars.

There is usually an increase in the number of cars torched on New Year's Eve compared to other days of the year.

"The night was relatively calm, without notable incident, there were very few direct clashes with the security forces," said a spokesman for the national police.

At 12:00 a.m. EST, the Interior Ministry said 372 vehicles had been burned -- 144 in the Paris region and 228 in the rest of France. That was down from 397 last New Year's Eve.

At the height of the 2005 riots as many as 1,400 cars were attacked in overnight violence. In protests over President Nicolas Sarkozy election last May, demonstrators set fire to 730 vehicles.

Police had stepped up their presence on French streets in anticipation of the year-end celebrations and the sale of petrol in cans was banned in some places.

It's not so much about religion as nationality. I bet the French rue (damn, sorry about the pun) their imperial adventures in North Africa. It's a bit like the Brits, they went and did the empire thing and what happens? Idi Amin boots Asians out of Uganda so they nick off to Britain, the old seat of empire.

They're all from north africa and the middle east. You know, those places where they are 98% muslim, with names like abu and mohamod. Just little things like that.

Sorry bout that,


1. I can tell you frankly, if Muslims were torching cars in America.
2. There would be a hell of a lot of dead Muslims laying down by gas cans.
3. With bullet holes in their heads.
4. Let them try that crap here, and watch them bastards die like cock roaches!

It's purposely written that way. If they said the rioters were muslims people might get a bad idea about islam. That wouldn't be PC. They give the facts but not what's behind the facts.
