Why do you not identify the culprits of this criminal rebellion. Is it not muslims? I am so tired of the political correctness and fear of offending the guilty. When foreign peoples come to our countries why do they then want to conform us to what they escaped out of? Enough is enough! When someone...anyone breaks the law it is the duty and responsibility of the state to enforce said laws. If it were a 'white European male' there would be no debate about fairness. There would be only enforcement. What has happened to decency and respect. I'll tell you that the muslim mentality is not one of peace and co-existence. Look at all the conflicts in the world today and you will see the majority of all of them are in one way or another a muslim conflict. It will never matter what concessions you give or make it will NEVER be enough. You cannot appease the mentality of the muslim discontent. If they cannot fight the infidel they will fight each other.

This is simply what happens when countries allow uncontrolled migration from third world countries. The UK is seeing it, as is the US with their huge 'illegal alien' problem. What you have is an uneducated mass of people that take more services than they provide, that do not assimilate in a society, but instead try to bend and break the society to them. The politicians take from the group that belongs their in an effort to appease these unwashed masses, and generates discord among those members of siciety that actually keep the government afloat. Any British citizen that has sat for decades , waiting for a council home, only to see immigrant after immigrant get put ahead of them on the list because they ran out and got themselves pregnant, that has paid the high tax rates to provide them with schools, health care, and a steady check from the government. Soon Europe will see rioting in the more 'prominent' sections of it's society, as people become more and more fed up with being enslaved by their own government to provide a comfortable living to people that have done nothing to earn it. There's an American politician that put out a book that predicted all of this, it's called 'The Death of the West' by Pat Buchanan. Who ever decided that those who have worked hard for what they have, and are enjoying the fruits of thier labor have a responsibility to give more than a fair share to those who haven't?

disadvantaged ?Nov 27th, 2007 - 14:17:29

'but it will do little to appease the country's disadvantaged minorities.'

Disadvantaged or seeking confrontation ??

This is the Islamic way of subverting Western city life.

Thus when the slaves of Allah increase in numbers and gain strength, Jihad against the infidel society will surely ensue. This is the precursor of what's to come. Remember Lebanon?

The headline refers to Ghetto rioting and the Article refers to rioting in the suburbs. Which is it?
Rioting never happens in the suburbs of America because the youths are too stoned playing their video games to care. When one of them dies in a police related accident the schools offer grief counselling. Maybe these are two solutions the French should consider. Numb their minds with video games and television and follow it up with group brainwashing.

Hey, it's taken the spine out of the American youth...

The world needs to face the reality of isssslime.Nov 27th, 2007 - 15:46:23



Suggestions for improvement....

1. DEPORT all muslims to their 1st choice of a non-European nation.
2. Outlaw islam and reclassify it as a political cult posing as a religion whose only aim is world subjugation and overthrow of all non-islamic nations.
3. Forbid all immigration of muslims into a non-islamic nation.
Nations do not need millions of welfare abusing muslims to kill, rape, and sponge off the same infidel nations they claim to hate so much.
4. Reinstitue mandatory death penalty for all who plan, are caught, or convicted of murder.

This is just a start to rid the islamic menace to the free world.

Muslims need to stay on their side of the oceans and we will stay on our side.

We dont see westerners begging to immigrate into a muslim nation.

Why would we?

France was a great place to live..........Nov 27th, 2007 - 15:52:03



BEFORE all these muslims were allowed in the nation!

Europeans dont do this type of nonsense.

We all have our areas of the world and this is what happens when braindead governments allow any and all sort of rifraff to enter their borders.

We can not allow a 7th century mindset to live civil in a 21st century culture.

Was anyone expecting something good to happen?

It is time to end this mess and push all muslims back to their homelands.

What else can you do with a cancer but remove it permanately with harsh treatment.

You can not negotiate with cancer (ie..islam.)

Look what it has done to France, Bosnia, Kosovo, India, Israel, and Lebanon.

It is a shame that those havens for incorrigibles, Nouvelle-Calédonie and Île du Diable, were shut down in 1922 and 1952 respectively; shipping these youths out seems not to be an option.

Although these youths live in France, speak French, and presumably are French citizens; they are most certainly not French in any sort of cultural sense. Here in America we have a history of turning immigrants and children of immigrants into Americans (whether this is a good thing is still open to debate) and it should be noted that the more easily these new Americans assimilate into our culture, the quicker they rise from the lower economic classes into the mainstream.

While the poverty and lack of opportunities of which these youths complain should not be minimized, the very reason that their parents and grandparents emigrated from former African colonies such as Algeria and Senegal was that the limited opportunities offered in France far exceeded the prospects at home.

It was estimated in 2006 by INSEE that 4.9 million (8% of the total population) foreign-born immigrants live in France. It should also be noted that it was also estimated by Institut Montaigne in 2004 that Arabs and Africans from French former colonies were estimated to be around 10 million (although not necessarily foreign-born). It should also be noted that many immigrants to France are from European backgrounds although these groups appear woefully underrepresented at the civil disturbances.

Large groups of disaffected people make a volatile mix in any society, all it takes is a small number of charismatic leaders to spawn a good deal of anarchy. Will the embers of discontent and alienation be whipped by the Mistral of radicalism? This is the choice the French must make, and the longer they wait, the larger the danger of a conflagration.

Deportation is the ONLY option!Nov 27th, 2007 - 18:59:23



They can take the same aircraft and ships they used to enter France.

I think it is much easier to deport muslim welfare abusers than it was to kick out the Germans twice in the 20th century so the French must move on the schedule. Moving out civilians is a dream compared to battling the German Army for years.

What is the army to do, just watch their homelands burn to these ingrates who could not leave the isalmic world quick enough?

Bring home all the troops from Yugoslavia and Germany and clean out 1 province at a time. It would be very easy.

Start in the north and work south towards the Med Sea.

Actually, all Europe should move at the same time.

America, listen well and learn.

Lots of very accurate comments, and reflect the thoughts of the vast silent (for now) majourity.
Yes they are cancerous parasites of the world and should be treated as such.
Cut it out and get rid of them, I don't think too many people would complain.

Is there still any small minded people out there that think these muslim bastards are here to assimilate and not change our way of life to their backwards stone age crap..??

Pandering and appeasing to this breed of toilet scum is ludicrous to say the least and doing nothing but playing into their hands.
The political left wing has alot to answer for here with their softly softly approach. ( where do these losers come from??).
Time for some cleansing people.

Believe it or not there are those that think Iran should be allowed to have Nukes, Yeah right, good one, that would be an exellent idea hey..
Hez-balghblagh and Ham-arse would have a feild day with these toys..


GET RID of these cancerous, gangrene PARASITES NOW, yes I HATE them with a passion..

Never before have I seen such unawareness displayed on a forum. I see nothing here but hatred, ignorance and outright brainwashed stupidity. The problems in the French ghettos are far more complex than the postulated Islam connection. If the riots of the American ghettos of the 1960's were to happen today, these same posters would be blaming the Islam rather than the real causes. One of which is the racist card. Riots merely show that there is something very wrong with a country. Maybe the leadership is out of touch with the common man. Maybe there is something wrong with trend followers who do not pick up on the rumblings of discontent and do something proactive and positive, before it gets to the riot stage. Maybe people should do some research, with an open mind, before going on-line and spouting their racist ignorance.

' America, listen well and learn '
Well , Mister Dipshit (if thats your real name ) America has ' listened ' .
Today there are many Muslims across America that are holding elected offices as local City Council members, State representatives, Mayor, Judges etc etc .
Muslims are in every profession , Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers , Scientists , Engineers etc etc .

American Muslims have the same and in many cases higher than average incomes and have the same and in many cases higher education .

Compared to Europe where Muslims are 3rd class citizens living in poverty . Europe is not all bad and America can do better .

Don't import muslims at all, then you don't have to worry about deporting them later on, or listening to their garbage.

Hinderance on the modern world, this is only going to get ALOT WORSE before Govts have to take drastic action against these parasites.

You've got my vote, kick them out of all western country's, after all they don't really seem to like our freedoms or way of life do they..
Their preaching and actions say this out aloud to those who are listening and have'nt got their heads up their butt and deaf to reality.

Muslims are untermensch.Nov 29th, 2007 - 05:24:35



I am so sure muslims are just so educated especially the ones holding diplomas from University of Crapistan and University of Yabadabastan.
Listen to me you muslim stroke, Americans are the richest AND smartest as they are the hardest working, no vacation taking, putting in the longest hours, and many earning 2nd college degree, while paying the highest taxes to support you filthy, Medicaid, Publicaid, SS number stealing moongod worshippers.
What famous or intelligent muslims here in the US or anywhere in the world have ever invented or created anything for the good of man?
ZERO!
All science, inventions, patents, math, and engineering came from the ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Jews, Romans, Greeks, and Europeans...and the USA.
You desert heathen use our technology today as computers, e-mail, cellphones, aircraft, motorcycles, etc to carry out crimes against humanity.
Truly ironic is it not?
Muslims dont do anything, but throwout suicide bombers moron.
Many famous murderers were educated and crooked politicians seem to have been the greatest criminals and conartists in world history so muslims having a degree or gubmint job means NOTHING!!
Many muslims have gubmint jobs here because they live in districts where there is a muslim-cancer majority in the local population so that is pointless. A muslim will always vote for another population where and when it is possible.
You skags and skanks have nothing in the USA or anywhere else without us westerners paying for everything first.
Soon, you will have to go home and be 'successful' back in the hellhole you call the islamic world.
Outlaw islam now.
