Thread: France:Why 112 cars are burning every day

Last year when the Islamic riots were raging in France, a seemingly endless parade of apologists told us over and over that the violence was due to economic oppression and alienation, and had nothing to do with radical Islam. Those who labeled it a “French Intifada” were mocked and derided as “Islamophobes.”

What will the apologists say this year when the riots repeat, as even French police have stopped denying the nature of the enemy? A horrifying statistic shows how bad it’s gotten:

FLAMES lick around a burning car on a tiny telephone screen. Omar, 17, a veteran of France’s suburban riots, replayed the sequence with pride. “It was great. We did lots of them and then we went out and torched more the next day.”

Omar, whose parents immigrated from Mali, was savouring memories of the revolt that erupted 12 months ago from his home, the Chêne Pointu estate in Clichy-sous-Bois, in the eastern outskirts of Paris. “We’re ready for it again. In fact it hasn’t stopped,” he added.

Before next week’s anniversary of the Clichy riots, the violence and despair on the estates are again to the fore. Despite a promised renaissance, little has changed, and the lid could blow at any moment.

The figures are stark. An average of 112 cars a day have been torched across France so far this year and there have been 15 attacks a day on police and emergency services. Nearly 3,000 police officers have been injured in clashes this year. Officers have been badly injured in four ambushes in the Paris outskirts since September. Some police talk of open war with youths who are bent on more than vandalism.

“The thing that has changed over the past month is that they now want to kill us,” said Bruno Beschizza, the leader of Synergie, a union to which 40 per cent of officers belong. Action Police, a hardline union, said: “We are in a civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists.”

don't know why, I think it is just a matter of time before this stars up over here in the US, I wonder what we will do about it if it does?

That is a good question Nitty!

It also raises another question. Who is we?

Oh I'm sure our wimps in congress and the white house will just hand them out citizenship cards...

God forbid we make them play by the rules. It may offend the big damn bunch of babies.

A good example of the more crime they commit and get away with the more crime they are going to commit. Those who have entered this country illegally and gotten away with it will only commit more crime in this country. They broke the law and want to be reward for doing it by being given amnesty. If amnesty is given it will be an invitation to continue to break the laws.

I might be wrong but if they start torching cars in the US they might end up with [MOD EDIT- No violent language - please read the rules of the board} Americans will put up with a lot (way too much actually). But mess with thier cars and it's time.
