Second French Intifada

[scribblet]

I'm posting this here as this is as much to do with our media as is French rioting. Now I've been busy the last few days and havn't read a lot of papers, but I can't say that I have heard anything about this in the papers, TV or radio. If our media not reporting on these incidents, and if not, why not?

Riots exploded across Paris' bleak Muslim-immigrant suburbs this past week.

The London Telegraph reported that police warn this situation no longer looks like a police matter, but a civil war.

"Before, youths were in a mind-set of provocation," Laurent Ysem, chief of the Unsa police union, told the Associated Press. "Now, they come to get the cops."

He ought to know. This year, 2,500 police have been injured by young Islamic thugs in Paris' ghettolike "banlieues," amounting to 14 wounded cops per day.

A week ago Sunday, in the Paris suburb of Les Mureaux, Islamic youths attacked two patrolmen who tried to ticket an immigrant on a seat belt violation. He refused to stop and smashed through a police car blocking his path.

After that, hundreds of attackers poured onto the streets, burning a police car and attacking officers, leaving one with a double skull fracture.

If our media not reporting on these incidents, and if not, why not?

Could it be they are paralyzed with fear.

Free democratic societies are not controlled by Muslim rule or religion or Muslim anarchy.

Immigrant anarchy should be dealt with in a severe manner including police using weapons and government issuing deportations.

Send these troubled people back to their uncivilized, exclusive, politically religious countries.

No I haven't heard anything about this until now. Thanks for posting.

Well, this is setting an example around the world...just like the violent protests that erupted in various countries all over the world...mirroring the protest that started in Europe.

The question is: why is this not being reported by our media?

Is the media "filtering" what they want the public to know?

Likely the same reason they never reported that around eight hundred rockets had been fired into Israel before Israel finally decided to act earlier this year.

Besides, it doesn't look good for one of the corner stones of cultural Marxism, multiculturalism.

So no one else has heard about from our media. There are many serious problems in Britain and Europe rarely reported here, I assume the same is for the U.S. and I agree, it is fear, and political correctness, don't want to offend anyone, so hide your head in the sand.

I did a google and came upon some blogs that gave links about this intifada. A couple of the links are down.

On one hand I don't want to be paranoid about it....yet on the other hand I can't help but wonder if these links that are no longer available....did they change their mind about it? Was there pressure from anyone for them to take it down?

Your first link Scriblett...it was not available when I clicked on it a couple of hours ago. I'll try again.

PS

I just did...and it still says "the page cannot be displayed."

This thread should be in "Rest of the World".

I'm posting this here as this is as much to do with our media as is French rioting.

Our media fails to report many events around the globe. This event is newsworthy in France only because of the strong police reaction.

Are you surprised to learn that large cities in the world have "no go" zones? You can read about here:

Police officers raided a housing project in a suburb northeast of Paris in the early hours of Wednesday, in the wake of clashes last week between the police and residents of the complex, bringing criticism about the presence of journalists during the raid and accusations of police brutality.

I posted a link about Belgium's municipal elections which strike me as more important.

Riots exploded across Paris' bleak Muslim-immigrant suburbs this past week.

It was minor, hardly worthy of an international editors attention.

And yet when a group of Australian beach-goers rioted against Muslims it was on the front page for days.

...if you say so. I can't particulary recall

I can say that from what I have read, it seems to be a bad situation. I would have to say that many of these youths are unhappy to be in France and accept their good fortune. So of course the answer would be set them free, and give them work passage on as many ships back to their origins as can be found. The gang mentality is usually unlawful and shoudl be treated as such. Since they are rioting maybe machine gunning them down with rubber bullets would get their attention. But just like all free nations around the world, when you have immigrants that seem to setttle into neighbourhoods of their own kind, it then is a cause of concern. They tend to not try to blend in and more then likely feel this is their new conquored land. I am all for multiculturalism, but only if it can be accommodated into our own country's culture.

this link works...http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/10/05/wmuslims05.xml but so far I have found nothing in the N.A. media, I really believe they are filtering information.

Caught a Muslim from I think the Canadian Muslim Congress on the news last night saying that he wanted Canada to amend the hate crimes law to include blasphemy and apostasy against Islam. This is just another means to suppress opinion to say the least.

The Europeans have a pattern of turning on a dime. Just as they turned suddenly and savagely on their relatively (compared to Muslims') constructive, peaceful and industrious Jewish community back in 1933-45, they will turn on their resident Muslims. This is not what I advocate. However, it will not be pretty.

I think I can agree with you on this one as to what may happen in a worse case scenario, jbg. If extreme Muslims ever were to grow powerful and dangerous enough in the European countries, I could see there being a breaking point at which those Europeans react and retaliate violently. This is why I don't get too worked up over the idea that fundamentalist Muslims are going to overrun the West. It will never be allowed to go that far.

I pray for a better outcome for all, where the Muslims take advantage of the freedom they have, help build a better France, and a better Islam in the process.

Likely? Unfortunately, no.

More on this and still no MSM reports that I'm aware of, is the Canadian press so afraid they just won't report on it.

"We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists," Thooris told journalists. Sarkozy, the leading center-right candidate for next year's presidential election, responded by dispatching cops in body armor, equipped with automatic weapons and rubber bullets, stun and teargas grenades into several Paris suburbs with orders to "restore control" from "organized crime." In one recent clash 250 cops dispersed a 100-strong Muslim gang armed with baseball bats.

Anti-Semitic incidents have proliferated in France in recent times, but the news seldom makes it across the Atlantic and when it does, it must still fight to be heard above the constant melodrama of constant trivia. A Jewish sports club in Toulouse attacked with Molotov cocktails; in Bondy, 15 men beat up members of a Jewish soccer team with metal bars and sticks; the bus that takes Jewish children to school in Aubervilliers attacked thrice in the past 14 months, synagogues in Strasbourg and Marseilles and a Jewish school in Creteil firebombed in recent weeks; in Toulouse, a gunman opened fire -- all ignored in the mainstream media in the U.S.

The metropolitan Paris police tabulated 10 to 12 anti-Jewish incidents per day in the past 30 days throughout the country.
