Police fan out in Paris!
Today is November 12. The rioting began on October 27. Police are just fanning out now?
French Surrender Alert from AP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
PARIS (AP) - The number of cars torched overnight in France climbed slightly over the previous night to 502 in a 16th night of unrest that took its heaviest toll on the French provinces, police said Saturday.Security was boosted in the capital with some 3,000 police officers fanning out around strategic points to counter feared weekend attacks targeting Paris. Gatherings were banned from Saturday morning until Sunday morning....
Two Molotov cocktails were tossed at a mosque Friday evening in the southern town of Carpentras, but it was not immediately clear whether the attack was linked to the unrest that has wracked the poor suburbs and small towns of France since Oct. 27. President Jacques Chirac demanded that investigators quickly find out who was behind the attack.
I trust he has made a similar demand regarding the two churches and two synagogues that have been torched.

"We returned to an almost normal situation in Ile de France," said Gaudin, referring to the Paris region. He said that 86 vehicles were burned, which he said was about normal.Time for the Europeans to wake up and smell the napalm. The last time I was in a place where something like 86 vehicle torchings EVERY night was considered a normal condition, I was in a f#$%ing WAR ZONE. The only people around us who didn't know there was a war were either dead or spoonfed. Posted by: Hulegu Khan

Not that I have been able to discern in the media.

Reminds me a bit of what happened in the Netherlands as well, by the way. Every finger stuck out at the mosques was dealt with harshly, but anything towards christian believers is belittled.
I wonder how long until the old Franco, Teutonic, Germanic, Viking blood will get boiling now that people are touching the complacent, nice lives of West Europeans. I think the backlash will be huge once it gets rolling.

What! Fan out now? The French police are a little too late in responding to the violence that has ravaged their country. Fanning out should have happened weeks ago. The uprisings which began in late October have demonstrated to the entire world that the French government is inadequately prepared to deal with the violence that has emerged in their midst.
The Egyptian daily Al-Massaie referred to the riots as "the intifada of the poor." Meanwhile, jornalists around the world continue to depict the uprisings as a consequence of French social integration problems. The brunt of their criticism has fallen squarely on the French natives, not the violent Muslims from N. Africa, who are still being depicted as victims in a society that doesn't value them. The French Muslim youths are committing criminal acts throughout the country and yet they are portrayed as the Robin Hood of a crooked French society.
I have witnessed absolutely no coverage in the press about how the Muslim youths are choosing to not integrate into French society. This is the real story that needs to be reported. If this trend continues, more and more people will be deceived about the true nature of division in French society. And the French governement will continue to accomodate the cultural and economic demands of the N. African Muslims in France.

Taqiyya!
Mosques attacked-vandalised, pork on doorsteps, not many non Muslims have been actually convicted of this.
However it does inflame Muslim tensions and encourage attacks on non Muslims.
Taqiyya, that means doing or saying something in order for the Kufir to think that something else is happening, black flag, deception.
I trust the mosques are well (over) insured.

Jonathan: this is not much different from what we experience here in the Netherlands.
Apparently it is easier for them to play the victim than to fight and carve out a living for themselves.
If you look at the abuse the Jews had throughout the ages, they always managed to build up shops and get themselves working in the society.
We have a big riot in Rotterdam now about a politician for a local party that made a claim how 'criminal muslims justify their actions with their religion'. A spokesman of a muslim organisation filed a complaint. And it now turns out he made a similar comment himself in 2004! Because of the complaint he was forced to resign.
Another part of what the politician said was that the Antillians and Cabo Verdians that are criminal steal from everyone, even people from their own background, and muslims do not do that.
The dhimmitude is spreading badly.

News, there has been a riot in the centre of Lyon, at place Bellecour from the afternoon onwards, I think it's still going, the metro station has been closed and trains are passing straight through, the Bellecour metro was reported as still closed at 18:15.

Asmodai: I agree with you. The political and social climate towards Muslims in the Netherlands has similarities to the climate in France and the rest of Europe. It is quite disturbing that the Islamic faith, which justifies violence directly in the Koran, can't be reported with any touch of criticism.
But look at how Christianity can be criticized and mocked throughout the western hemisphere with little to no backlash. The western media is too non-confrontational with Islam and its repressive features even after widespread terrorism throughout the west. Fortunately, there are a few exceptions, most notably the coverage concerning your former Dutchman Van Gogh, whose own courage in confronting the dysfunction of Islam cost him his own life and sparked some international attention to this taboo subject.
During the uprisings in France 2 churches and 1 synagogue were torched. I did not see any photos or coverage whatsoever of this violent action against Christianity and Judaism. How biased they are in their reporting! If Mosques were burned in France would there be photo coverage? Absolutely.
The dhimmitude in the press and western governments are attempting to avoid making the uprisings look like anything that may smack of religion. But listen to the violent voices on the streets of France and you will hear these religious words: " Allah Akhbar!"

Thanks

"President Jacques Chirac demanded that investigators quickly find out who was behind the attack"
Who cares about a mosque set on fire. The French are p.o.'d and are taking matters into their own hands. They're paying back the a**holes who are determined to burn France to the ground.

Thanks, Daffersd.
There was indeed a riot yesterday, November 12 right in Lyons old city, on Place Bellecour, a very "strategic place". Police had to use teargasses. This was the first time a riot takes place in the heart of a big city like Lyons.
By the way it pisses me off the way some journalists worldwide dare to compare these riots with May 68. What's the relation between these 2 events? I wasn't there in 68 but nobody I know says they felt threatened like they do now!
Posted by: ERWAN NORTH MAGHREB at November 13, 2005 2:39 AM
Me too, there is no relationship with 68 whatsoever.
Normal MSM smoke and mirrors and attempt to get any explanation except the right one. I caused a huge argument at dinner last night when I said that democracy was dead in Europe and that the facists had won.
Last night was wierd in regards to the media, in that they spent ages on France 2 or was it France 3 showing the residue from a failed fire-bomb attack on a mosque with crowds of concerned Muslims men walking around. But not a peep on the two churches burnt down. The media is rather sick I think.
