French Claim Paris Riots Now at "Normal" Levels

Riots in the welfare state

Riots in Paris suburbs begin to calm (yeah they've been "calming down" since October 27th)

This is what media will report. Over at Astute Blogger, this is won't they won't report.

FRENCH CHURCHES BURN AND THE LEFT AND THE MSM IGNORE IT via NO PASARAN

UPDATE: November 18th

French-Jewish Philosopher Views Ethno-Religious Character of Riots - Dror Mishani and Aurelia Smotriez
According to the French-Jewish philosopher Alain Finkielkraut, "In France, they would like very much to reduce these riots to their social dimension, to see them as a revolt of youths from the suburbs against their situation, against the discrimination they suffer from, against the unemployment. The problem is that most of these youths are blacks or Arabs, with a Muslim identity. Look, in France there are also other immigrants whose situation is difficult - Chinese, Vietnamese, Portuguese - and they're not taking part in the riots. Therefore, it is clear that this is a revolt with an ethno-religious character."

Zees eez...'ow you say...boring, no? Show us us your nichons again.

From the article.

The current social unrest is largely said to be a product of France’s refusal to bear responsibility for its own colonial past. While being held as a colony by France, thousands of Algerians were “transplanted” to the nation in order to assist in the rebuilding of the country at the end of WWII.

I see, it's not the fault of the "transplanted" muslims who refuse to integrate themselves because Islam won't permit it. Boy was I off./ I do have one question, who are the people that "largely" say that?

It never ceases to amaze me just how clear the world looks to an 18 year old college student. Can you say MOONBATS??

[said Evans in an e-mail interview. “We inside of Paris are just going about our daily lives. It’s disturbing how little we feel here.”]
This brings about flashbacks to WW2 as Parisians delivered their Jewish neighbors to the Nazi conquisadoras.
What is wrong with this group? Too much absinthe?
Is there no modern day Roland?

Fawzi al-Odah weighed just 44.5kg (7st) last week when his lawyer, Thomas Wilner, visited him in Guantánamo. In August 2002 he weighed 63.5kg (10st). The young Kuwaiti is one of the hundred or so men in the US prison camp who have been on sporadic hunger strikes since August. During Wilner's previous visit in September, he tried, on Fawzi's father's instructions, to persuade him to end his hunger strike. But Fawzi told him: "Tell my father I'm trying to be a hero like him, and if he was here he would do the same as I am doing." Khalid al-Odah, Fawzi's father, was a US-trained Kuwaiti fighter pilot who fought in the underground during the Iraqi invasion.

...

Fawzi was a university student in Kuwait who spent two vacations teaching in poor areas of Pakistan, and who went on to help refugees on the Afghan border when they fled US bombing in October 2001. Those who sold them to the Pakistani authorities, who handed them over to the Americans, told both US reporting teams that the soft city boys from Kuwait were clearly nothing to do with any of the Afghan fighters.

heh, funny, gotta depend on the liberal MSM guardian to find out about this stuff, since you, instapundit & co. are too busy flag waving, chest baring, and being angry at the french cuz they didn't support the illegal war doofus started.

Say, is it true doofus is no longer talking to daddy doofus? Daddy doofus at least knew that iraq was going to be 25 years and several trillion dollars of hell. It's really too bad junior doof is throwing a hissy fit; don't we kinda need all the help we can get?

From the link above:

Today's Lefties are like yesteryear's reactionaries. Yesteryear's liberals are today's neo-cons. IOW: FDR and JFK would be neo-cons today. And the And the brave volunteers joing the US military to fight islamofascisim in Iraq today, are like the Freedom-riders of the 1960's.

Too funny. Thx for the chuckle...

[Diambalaya]

actually it's the conservatives who are today's neocons, all interesting hypotheticals aside. and "neocon" really has about zero to do with the party of lincoln. or was he really after the south's oil?

Diambalaya,

You seem to have a lot of energy tonight (overdose on Brazilian Diazepam again?). Since you are so concerned with the fate of prisoners in our world (poor Fawzi) perhaps you’ll do some Google research and present us with articles containing accounts of how Nick Berg and Daniel Pearl were allowed to visit with their attorneys and pass on messages to their parents. While you’re at it, you can also dig up some links to enlighten us on the superb conditions in the prisons of Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc.

Do riots really have "normal levels"? I guess they do in France. Just like every other instance involveing the French the decision to ignore and to downplay the danger is the usual choice. Next it'll be a call to the United Nay-guns to provide American police officers to handle the situation for them. Oh, and their will be absolutly no appreciation as usual. In fact, we'll be criticized for handling it for them.

[Amador]

Diambalaya, go away, you stain these pages with your stupidity. This is a big people blog, you should find a little minded blog for your drivel.

[Craig]

Diambalaya? Well, heck...I just can't help but break into song..

Everyone together now:
Good-bye Joe, me gotta go, me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne, the sweetest one, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file' gumbo
'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Thibodeaux, Fontainenot, the place is buzzin’
Kinfolk come to see Yvonne by the dozen
Dress in style and go hog wild, me oh my oh
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file' gumbo
'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

Settle down, far from town, get me a pirogue
And I’ll catch all the fish in the bayou
Swap my mon to buy Yvonne what she need-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

(Chorus)
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and file' gumbo
'Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar, fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun, we’ll have big fun on the bayou

[Diambalaya]

so it's official, then, with the deaths of nick berg and daniel pearl began a new epoch in america's commitment to human rights, in which we now take our cues from saudi arabia, afghanistan, and pakistan?

you all must be so proud.

by the way, marianne pearl, widow of daniel?
hates bush's illegal war. go figure.

[lowandslow]

Man, I'm already tired of the moonbats "illegal war" mantra. What the h*ll do you guys mean by that?
It's illegal to rape, murder, rob, jaywalk, etc., it's not illegal to defend the country from an imminent threat. F*cking idiots.

[El Jefe]

Diambalaya,

How about we throw a Star of David around your neck, drop you off in, say, downtown Tehran and, you know, just see what happens shall we?

[Bersier]

Or, wrap anyone in the the Starts 'n Stripes and drop him off anywhere in the entire world outside the US, for that matter.

[alcibiades]

Hey Pamela,

Look, in France there are also other immigrants whose situation is difficult

Not to mention, there is immigrant Johnny so shocked by the riots raging through France, he's considering abandoning his home in the country Depp.

Heh!
