Things ain't getting better - which means that they're geting worse!
It AMAZES me that they haven't yet instituted a curfew or called out their equivalent of the National Guard. Maybe they don't have what it takes too put down the intifada - and maybe THAT'S EXACTLY WHY IT WAS STARTED! YEAH: ON PURPOSE:
[BY THE WAY: yes, I'm the guy who coined the phrase "Paris Intifada."]

French Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy said Thursday that the riots in several Paris suburbs over the previous night were "not spontaneous" but rather "well organized."More HERE ("In escalating unrest, shots were fired at police and firefighters, while gangs besieged a police station, set fire to a car showroom and threw petrol bombs.") and HERE ("as eight days of riots ... spread to 20 towns." ) and HERE ("Protestors set fire to 315 cars in the Paris area overnight...") and HERE ("Gangs take Police Station!").

I didn't realize you came up with that phrase. Very good.

You are wrong about the Paris "intifada." The rioting in Paris has more to do with socio-economics, than religion or race. In France there's no jobs for white people, let alone Muslims, blacks, or other ethnic groups. So there is also no upward mobility. Race may play a role, but it's more akin to the LA riots in 1992 that the Palestinian conflict of today. They want the French dream, as those in LA wanted the American dream, but there's no upward mobility, and they are trapped.

This statement proves that I AM RIGHT, and it is WRONG!

ALSO: these riots ARE NOT SPANTANEOUS. neither are the ones in Denmark oir England.
