Below is an example of more peace from the peace givers!

NARATHIWAT, Thailand, June 8 (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim militants shot dead two Buddhist grocery store owners in southern Thailand before setting off a bomb that wounded five police officials who arrived to investigate the shooting, police said on Wednesday.

The attacks took place in Narathiwat, one of three Muslim-dominated provinces bordering Malaysia that have been plagued by separatist unrest for the past seven years.

An ethnic Malay Muslim entered one store and shot the owner with a pistol before fleeing the scene, leaving behind a small explosive device, which was triggered when security personnel arrived to investigate, police said.

The second attack took place in front of another store when its 72-year-old owner was shot dead by suspected militants riding on a motorcycle.

More than 4,500 people have been killed and nearly 9,000 wounded in violence since 2004 in the rubber-rich region, which was an ethnic Malay Muslim sultanate a century ago before annexation by predominantly Buddhist Thailand.

I shortened the post of Tyr, and increased the font on the part I wish to respond to. No offense to Tyr's post, just thought it would make my point more clear.

France has not been spared the horrors of Islamic terrorism, though not in the sense of a 9/11 or a 7/7. They've had problems for years with their 'youth' in the ghettos. They refuse to allow the papers to say that these are Islamic students, hell bent on causing terror and destruction. However, the French police are careful to allow them to go so far in property damage, no further. Neither are the French caught up in trying to integrate them into society, the way the Brits or US does.

Burning and looting – pension protests in the foreign press
Protests over proposed pension reforms have crippled France's transport system and posed a major challenge for the country's embattled government – but they have been largely peaceful. Not quite the view taken by some of Europe's newspapers...
Monday’s violence raised the spectre of May 1968, when rioters took to the streets of Paris to bring down the government of former French President Charles de Gaulle – or so part of the foreign press would have you believe.

The protests against French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s proposed pension reforms, expected to be passed by the country’s upper Senate this week, have been largely peaceful.

But on Monday irresistible images of upturned cars, burning petrol, riot police and hooded youths poured into newsrooms around the world.

The incidents in question did not even involve workers, but school children at a loose end when they found their college gates were closed because their teachers were on strike.

Some protests turned violent and 290 youths were arrested, the Interior Ministry said.

The students set a handful of cars on fire, toppled a telephone booth and hurled debris at police in the Paris suburb of Nanterre, as well as in Lyon and elsewhere – hardly a re-run of the French Revolution.

France's New Year's Tradition: Car-Burning By Bruce Crumley / Paris (http://www.time.com/time/letters/email_letter.html) Friday, Jan. 02, 2009

For much of the world, they became iconic of France's worst social ills: the burned-out carcasses of thousands of cars set ablaze during nearly three weeks of nationwide rioting in 2005 (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1126711,00.html). But as yet another orgy of automobile arson on Wednesday demonstrated, the torching of cars in France has not only become an everyday event; it's also now a regular form of expression for disenfranchised suburban youths wanting to make sure the rest of the country doesn't forget they exist. And their fiery presence is never felt so strongly as it is each New Year's Eve — the day of France's unofficial festival of car-burning. (Read a special report on the 2005 French riots. (http://www.time.com/time/europe/html/051114/story.html))


According to figures from the French Interior Ministry, 1,147 cars went up in smoke on New Year's Eve — a 30% rise on the 879 autos torched the same night in 2007. As often is the case, the worst-hit areas were the disadvantaged neighborhoods that sit beyond the suburban peripheries of most French cities. A total of 422 cars were burned in Paris-area housing projects, compared to 12 in the relatively well-policed Parisian intra muros. Other cities whose unemployment-racked, racially tense banlieues also lived up to their reputations for frequent car-burning included Strasbourg, Lille, Toulouse and Nantes. Across France, police arrested a total of 288 people on New Year's Eve (vs. 259 the year before) — though not all were charged, and many were apprehended for offenses unrelated to arson. (Read TIME's top 10 crime stories of 2008. (http://www.time.com/time/specials/2008/top10/article/0,30583,1855948_1862222,00.html))


In a country where car-burning isn't a common symptom of socioeconomic unrest, news of so many automobiles being torched would be alarming — if not a sign of brewing insurrection. In France, however, word of the destruction that accompanied the evening the French call Saint-Sylvestre was met with a mix of Gaulic shrugs and low-grade peevishness.


In revealing the figures on Thursday, French Interior Minister Michèle Alliot-Marie acknowledged that the tally of car-burnings had indeed increased over the previous year. Yet Alliot-Marie also said the enormous fleet of now carbonized vehicles shouldn't darken a New Year's Eve that was "unanimously considered mostly calm." Alliot-Marie also stressed that — in contrast to recent years — the first night of 2009 saw "no damage to public or private buildings." Perhaps, but that was probably little comfort to the people who were forced to walk or make long commutes on public transport after finding their cars melted down on Jan. 1.


Despite Alliot-Marie's rather upbeat depiction of the destruction, her boss — President Nicolas Sarkozy (http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1869352,00.html) — endeavored to react in accordance with his hard-line campaign promises to impose law, order and state authority in even the most unruly French neighborhoods. But while he vigorously rallied to the side of the victims, his best suggestion for punishing the perpetrators (who are rarely caught or identified) sounded positively permissive. Rather than threaten the young arsonists with jail time, which his government has proposed for other juvenile crimes, Sarkozy recommended that they be forced to reimburse their victims for the damages — and be barred from earning a driver's license until they do.


Sarkozy's seemingly lax solution to tackling France's car-burning bonanza hardly reflects the gravity and scope of the problem. Nearly 43,000 cars were torched in France over the whole of 2007 — an average of almost 118 per day. Alliot-Marie stressed that the rise in the number of burnt cars on New Year's Eve 2008 came at the end of a year in which the total number of autos set alight in the first 11 months had decreased 15%, compared with the same period in 2007. But while annual figures may fluctuate, they've generally swelled since the late 1970s, when French suburban youths first started burning cars as a way to get the attention of society, the media and politicians. ...

I havent investigated France's response to it's Islamic problem enough to know if it is doing a more proactive job to address the serious problem than Britian but I hope that it is! Right now I am thinking that the Brits have let it go on too long and can not reverse it without wholesale violence being a result ! They had better face that fact, bite the bullet and go full at it now or else they will likely fall IMHO. Would be interesting to hear what Drummonds thinks of that analysis..--Tyr
