How can you possibly file this story without once mentioning the words 'Muslim' or 'Islam?'

It's 'amazing' that the VAST majority of rioters and all of the instigators were Muslims. But they've finally managed to turn a blind eye to that. Even while the riots were going on, it was only mentioned as an incidental that the rioters were all Islamic.

So now even the press in France cant speak about the facts in this situation but has to obfusticate it behind the general term 'minority ghetto residents'.
Not one comment about the fact that they are in huge majority of 2nd generation north african Islamic origin. How can you even start to solve this problem if you dont aknowledge this. Who is at fault? The governemnt for not reaching out to integrate them into the society or the people for not trying to integrate into the French culture?? How can you begin to even guess at this when even the press wont look the proble in the eye. IMHO the beorn

Europe is losing it's identity to the muslim world and not fighting back. This is a direct result of feminist policies.

The reason they never use the word Muslim, is because France is a Muslim country. It would be like OBL calling his followers radical Muslim extremists.
The French government created the problem when they opened the borders to everyone and put them all on the dole. What would you expect to happen?

Well when the Europeans put the immigrants on the dole. Subsidize their isolationist lifestyle. Ignore the attacks on authority or at most charge them with misdemeanors. What do you expect from muslims who have a totally different world view. A govt subisdy is a bribe to them to stay out of your office. If you can hit a cop and not be shot then it is just counting coup and not risking the death of your family like back home.

Yeah it's a muslim influenced culture that need to be treated for what it is. And not ignored a minority youth problems. Go Danes!

as much as it runs against my liberal background - i say give full support in using everysingle non-fatal anti riot device possible such as tazers, mace, water cannons, sonic devices that make you vomit and strobe devices that disorient. Giving any rioter the chance to ruin their environment will only give them further cause. . .look what happened in iraq when American troops stood by and let the iraqis riot. . .

As if it is a suprise there are riots. These are Muslims. They need no reasons to rape, pillage and burn. We listen to the drizzle about them being a 'peaceful' religion. Let's look; riots in France, terrorists (redundant - should just say Muslims) in England, murders in the Netherlands, burning churches in Indonesia and East Timor, blaming Australian women for being raped because they don't wear burlap sacks and hoods, raping and murdering Christians in Sudan, murdering in Somalia, murdering everyone in IRAQ, bombing and kidnapping in Israel, crashing planes in the US. Stop being afraid to speak the truth. Political correctness be damned. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. It it talks like a terrorist, and acts like a terrorist, it's a Muslim.
