Violence flares again in France, deepening sense of crisis - Yahoo! Australia & NZ NewsWell, I'm sure that burning lots of cars and buildings will make it all better for the Muslim yutes in France.Overwhelmed police have found themselves powerless to stop the conflagration, which has seen a total of over 1,000 vehicles torched and more than 200 people arrested.

The leader of one police union, Bruno Beschizza, has described the riots as "urban terrorism", but Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe of the opposition Socialist Party warned against hastily lumping together "one religion, Islam, and a few extremists" in apportioning blame.
