Multiculturalism Blossoms in France
It seems inviting millions of Muslims into the country, then paying them to not work so that they could fester away in ghettos for generations instead of making even the slightest attempt to assimilate may not have been such a good idea after all.
Riots in the Muslim slums surrounding Paris have been going on for more than a week now, and they are spreading, having reached at least 20 towns according to the Washington Times. Police and firefighters have been fired upon, people are getting hurt, and over 300 cars have been set ablaze. Businesses have also been burned, and yesterday traffic was halted on a commuter line linking Paris to Charles de Gaulle airport by stone-throwing rioters.
Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, possibly the only grownup in the French government, has observed that the riots are not spontaneous, but rather well organized. Some believe that the riots were planned weeks ago.
France has Europe's largest Muslim population, an estimated 5 million. Needless to say, they are in some very serious trouble. Their usual policy of appeasement is working no better against Islam than it did against fascism.
This time Americans and British won't be able to bail them out by doing their fighting for them as we have done more than once in the past.
As has been pointed out earlier, whom the gods would destroy they first make moonbats. It's hardly surprising that France — the world's leading exporter of moonbattery — would make such an excellent case in point.
There is a reason you don't see many dodo birds these days — the same reason no one will be speaking French 100 years from now if that country does not wake up to the fact that whether or not they are at war with their enemies, their enemies are at war with them — and are perfectly willing to string them up by their own liberal ideology.

Well November 1 was the anniversary of the start of Algerian independence from France in 1954. And it seems most of the rioters are from Algeria. Could it be, this is phase 2 of Algeria giving France its comuppance after liberating themselves from the yoke of France?

Chirac is still trying to figure out who to hand the surrender papers too!

Suddenly I'm worried. I think this might one day be seen as the tipping point for the Islamic takeover of France, something they've wanted to do ever sicne they rode north from the Spanish border all those centuries ago...
Overall I'd prefer to be wrong, but the sheer scale of this, and the fact that it's now also happening in Denmark, makes it likely that I'm close to the mark... there were riots in a city here in the UK not too long ago. I can't remember which. I'm lisening out for more now.

A few points.
1) The rioters are Algerian the way I am Scottish. And terrorists usually work from the shadows - they don't riot in the streets.
2) The french usually look down on anyone who is not french - muslim, black, American, . . .
3) The French are winning.
4) Just because they have been planning this for weeks doesn't mean that Al-Qaida is behind it. This little outbreak has origins more in tune with the Watts riots than 9/11.
5) This is a good opportunity to spread American goodwill by helping a country that has badmouthed them in the past. Why isn't America taking advantage of it?

I don't believe anyone suggested an Al-Queda link. This is something else entirely, home grown thanks to a distinct lack of that evil word, assimilation.
Personally, I think those predicting a Muslim dominated Europe give the extremists too much credit. Hard as it is to believe, Europe has plenty of fight in it still, just look at France's actions in Africa, or her level of military spending for that matter.
No, don't think the Islamists will win. That said, they will reach a point where they recieve a terrible backlash, and it will get awful ugly. As an example, we've seen a resurgence of Neo-Nazi popularity in Germany. That can't be good.
By the way, I LOVE the saying "whom the gods would destroy they first make moonbats"
