On Wednesday I posted that the rioting of Muslims in Paris looked to me like "It could become a revolt by the Muslims against the non-Muslims of France." Now, after two more days of riots, MSM is saying it too. From AP:
Since then riots have swelled into a broader challenge against the French state and its security forces.
AP appears to have looked for a Muslim to condemn the rioting. Here's the Muslim they quoted:
Rioters also set fire to a gym near the Les Tilleuls housing complex in the Seine-Saint-Denis region. It burned and smoldered Wednesday night as residents looked on in despair.
"Where is she going to practice now?" asked Mohammed Fawzi Kaci, an Algerian immigrant whose 8-year-old daughter took gymnastics classes at the facility.
...Police have made 143 arrests during the unrest, Interior Ministry Nicolas Sarkozy said.
Residents and opposition politicians have accused Sarkozy of fanning tensions with his tough police tactics and talk — including calling troublemakers "scum."
"Sarkozy's language has added oil to the fire. He should really weigh his words," said Kaci, whose daughter lost her gym. "I'm proud to live in France, but this France disappoints me."
Kaci condemns, not the rioters, but the French official, Sarkozy, who dared to call the rioters "scum." He also condemns France. But Yahoo quotes no condemnation from Kaci for the rioters themselves. This is the party line of Islamic jihad: "we attack you and you are to blame for it." "You offend us by not showing us enough deference. Who cares if we're burning your towns down: how dare you call us scum?" As noted by Yahoo, Kaci's view reflects that of other "residents and opposition politicians."
The timing of the riots coincides with Islamic holy days. From AFP:
Many of France's estimated five million Muslims live in those suburbs. Thursday night was the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, a night traditionally marked by feasts and family get-togethers.
News flash for France: They're not going to assimilate. You have to deport them.
