Educate the children so that it won't be necesary to punish the men

If nothing else, let this MUSLIM INSURRECTION in France be a warning to the UK. What we are witnessing now in the suburbs
of Paris and of France's other principal cities , is the beginning of a transition from what the French euphemistically call "zones urbaines sensibles" [--"touchy urban zones" to eventual AUTONOMOUS/
INDEPENDENT urban enclaves. More to the point, small civil wars which will result in the creation of small independent COUNTRIES within France itself. This is the goal of those MUSLIM
elements who are pulling the strings of these "youths." France will be balkanized within a generation. Will the same befall the UK?

France is paying for more than twenty years of permissiveness and assistantship with people who now just burn their schools, the cars of their neighbours and even destroy their own parents' goods. Parents who by the way are as much guilty as their own children. Drama is I don't think that there's a solution to this before a decade. France is just at the beginning of it. Additionally, the more local TVs will speak about it the more the phenomenon will expand to other suburbs seing this as a competion.

The significance of Africanand Moslim participation is fairly obvious. Agressive music, role-models, ignorance all have their part in such behaiviour. And its only made worse by the presence of discrimination in the police force and government. Such massive riots are not the only indicators of it. Its enogh to walk down the street of Paris to feel it.

How curiuos that the media - including the BBC - make no mention of the ethnicity of the "youths". What's going on?

The integration to a society is done through jobs. Those kids are angry that no one is giving them a chance because eventhough they are born in France (they are French), employers look at them as foreigners. Employers want white people from their own (des Gaulois as they like to call themselves). Affirmative action is the only way to solve this problem. You have to force companies to hire (competente people) from the minorities groups. It works here in the US, it works in the UK. Europe has to do something about this. I have been to companies in the UK, in Germany, in France and honestly, I was surprise. Only in the UK that you can say that the people in the company are representative of the society. It was not true in Germany and it was not true in France.

It is high time the French authorities responded with equal force...
Their country (sadly) is experiencing the ravages of an overburdening immigrant problem...
The two young Blacks aged 15 7 16 obviously were not licenced to be riding the motor cycle & were therefor breaking the law...
Its high time that all these people who come to countries in Europe seeking asylum from the ravages & persecution they supposedly receive in their own countries learn that they have responsibilities towards their benefactor countries. This culture of expecting to be treated as if they are owed a living by the host nation together with their proclivity for violence should be countered by the French authorities deporting droves of these wastrels & malcontents back from whence they came.
Looks like Jean-Marie Le Pen is being proven right!

The previous riots were "caused " by the death of teenagers who, in order to escape police, climbed into an electricity sub-station. The police were blamed for not rescuing them.

These riots were "caused" by teenagers illegally (and presumably incompetently) riding a motorbike and colliding with a police car. The police were blamed for not helping them.

The teenagers from the community use this as an excuse to cause mayhem. They complain that nothing is done to improve their lot and then burn down a nursery.

Am I missing something here?

Sarkozy calls for calm - he would do better calling for the CRS - not the new namby-pamby CRS but the old CRS - they meant business.

These young rioters are the have-nothings of France: no work, no money, poor living conditions. They are angry and envious in a society where Chirac spent a million pounds on food and wine for his household (how much did he salt away? When is he coming up for trial now that he is out of office?) and Sarky lives in a castle, has a £10,000 watch on his wrist and calls them "scum". On TV they see the rich and famous: overpaid actors, fat-cat businessmen, sportsmen who are paid millions for kicking or hitting a ball! It was anger, hunger, envy and poverty that caused the Spanish civil war, and had earlier led to the rise of Hitler. Sarky could begin to solve the problem with three words: Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite,

Sarkozy appeals for calm, but Sarkozy is the cause of the problems.

There is not 38 wounded but 82 (police source) most of them by gun fire, despite of wearing anti bullet jackets. That 's war. Gadhafi told recently that conquest of Europe by the 38 millions of muslims present on his soil will soon begin. It did.

Enough! This is the result of inmigration, third world violence.
We might be civilised but not stupid.

This is what happens when you allow large numbers of immigrants into your countryThey should be rounded up jailed then deported .

alan, lancs,

A citizen is a citizen whether muslim or not.

All these rioting youngsters are born in France, thus french.

Why give citizenship to people and then tell them "you are not of ours", and treat them as foreigners.


In that case honesty command to say the truth: " we don't want you in this country, we won't give you citizenship".

At least every one knows where to stand.

But, when theirs grand-fathers were called up in the french army to fight germany (1871, 1914, 1939 = 3 wars in the case of Algerians), those "hords Moslem" were more than welcome to defend France.

Nicolas Sarkozy appeals for calm after new riot

I thought this guy said he was going to get tough and deport those Immigrants. Or was that another form of the same UKIP Con trick to take the vote from the BNP which failed in the UK

My advice ti the French get back quickly to Le Pen
Are any other people dumber than the Whiteman?

Absolutely Fernando, It's very sad. Charles Martel is turning in his grave and has his hand's in his face in Heaven.

This is the Parisian Intifada, round two. What are the French authorities going to do this year? Do they hope it goes away? Prepare for more car burnings and attacks on police and fire crews? It had better not happen here.

The situation being bad enough, what need is there exactly to parade Le Pen on top of it?

JC Duc, Royan, France

Europe is crumbling under Moslem hordes as it happened centuries ago. They are trying to expell us from our own land.
