And I quote:

“We are in a state of civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists. This is not a question of urban violence any more, it is an intifada, with stones and Molotov cocktails. You no longer see two or three youths confronting police, you see whole tower blocks emptying into the streets to set their ‘comrades’ free when they are arrested.”

violent clashes injuring an average of 14 officers each day

From the looks of it, won't be long until the military is dispatched to some French neighborhoods, the cops just can't cope any more. On the face of it, admittedly, it's not just "radical Islamists" it's also the drug trade factoring into it. Kingpins setting themselves up in the housing projects.

And sure, we probably have that in the states and every western country -- parts of our nations that cops just won't go into. But it seems to be on the rise in a number of European countries.

    A typical bullshit piece by the Telegraph. The riots have nothing to do with any Islamist intifada. That's just ridiculous islamaphobia. The rioting is being done by underprivileged youth, both black and white. To claim that they are all Muslims is absurd.

    agreed. the paris riots last year (or was it earlier this year?) was purpertrated by young people from the derpived suburbs where there is very high unemployment, very little education, high crime and no real opportunities. the French govt dont really give a shit since they are not white french. they have no plan for intergration or trying to help the deprived.

    No, they both run in opposite directions, then blame the Americans. ;)
