Le Monde (Extracted from "918 véhicules ont brûlé cette nuit, le plus lourd bilan depuis le début des émeutes", 6 November 2005)

"Cette 10e nuit de violences a été marquée par une augmentation du nombre de voitures incendiées et de villes touchées -- avec notamment Paris et de nombreuses cités de province -- tandis que les interpellations sont en baisse. A Evreux, les violents affrontements entre émeutiers et policiers auraient fait des blessés de part et d'autre. Parmi les bâtiments visés en Ile-de-France figurent deux écoles, un foyer Sonacotra et un restaurant MacDonald's."

[Ed: It is not that they are Muslims who are setting fire to cars and fighting the police and firemen in at least eight major cities in France. It is that France has allowed 5 million of them into the country (legally and illegally) and that's too many of any new culture for any modest-sized country to assimilate and find jobs and decent housing for. We have already had race riots on a lesser scale in the UK, Holland and Denmark, and there will undoubtedly be more -- and in other European countries, too. Immigrants are to be welcomed into a country for the additional cultural sparkle, variety and skills they add, so long as they assimilate well enough into the job market and don't frighten the natives so much that the immigrants have to ghettoise for self-protection. In the future, perhaps politicians will learn what anthropologists have been trying to tell them for years. There are several quite nasty anti-immigration political parties in the UK such as the British National Party but only one organisation, Migrationwatch UK, which is led by responsible individuals. Blair should start listening to them because they represent what a large proportion of the indigenous culture really feels.]
