Torching cars is so 2005. Your fashionable French “youth” are now torching buses:
Vandals set three buses ablaze near French cities overnight, police said on Thursday, on the eve of the anniversary of riots that rocked France’s multi-ethnic suburbs.
Masked assailants torched buses in the western Paris suburb of Nanterre and the eastern suburb of Bagnolet but passengers fled before the flames engulfed the vehicles. Television footage showed the burnt-out wrecks.
An empty, parked private coach was set on fire in Venissieux, a suburb of the eastern city of Lyon, and three youths ordered passengers off a bus in Athis Mons, south of Paris, and tried without success to set it on fire.
In the Bagnolet attack, one assailant held a pistol to the head of the driver while others forced passengers to get off.
A pistol, you say? Well, that particular youth/vandal/assailant will soon answer to the mighty power of French police efficiency. Probably he’s been caught already. Brussels Journal has helpful advice for Europeans who wish to avoid being set on fire:
The German author Henryk M. Broder recently told the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant that young Europeans who love freedom, better emigrate. Europe as we know it will no longer exist 20 years from now. Whilst sitting on a terrace in Berlin, Broder pointed to the other customers and the passers-by and said melancholically: “We are watching the world of yesterday.”
Europe is turning Muslim. As Broder is sixty years old he is not going to emigrate himself. “I am too old,” he said. However, he urged young people to get out and “move to Australia or New Zealand. That is the only option they have if they want to avoid the plagues that will turn the old continent uninhabitable.”

In his mind, America is probably even scarier than the muzzylands.
Grimmy, he probably visited Zombietime and heard speeches by Michael Moore, Nancy Pelosi, Ned Lamont and John Kerry.
There are many places in the US already lost to the moonbats, my home town among them. Scary, indeed.

- I certainly hope that America will never again send its finest to fight and die for ungrateful europeans again, let them fight their own battles, the more America did for them the more they despised you, they had no positive vision of themselves or the future so defined themselves as not America, Americas attitude know should be one of self interest.
Take the best and fuck the rest.
- 237 – that’s already happened, only we call them “adjunct professors.”
Reading the whole article is an exercise in Mobius thinking. There’s “multi-ethnic” and “Youths on ethnically mixed estates” and even “mainly immigrant backgrounds” but nowhere is “Presbyterian” to be found. Ever.
I also love how the Communist party folks in France are saying that it’s all the government’s fault, and therefore the government ought to do more: “It is about time the government reacted. This is an emergency,” the Communist party, which traditionally draws heavy support in the capital’s housing estates, said in a statement. Um, so you draw your support from the people doing the rioting, and then cater your response to win their further support? One would think that the commies were doing a little opportune organizing… Either that, or they hope to be the last eaten by the crocodile.
- So the Muslims are going to take over Europe. That’s a given.
The difference this time is that Europe doesn’t have anything we want. Like oil.
Let the silly nitwits try to make a living with the mullahs in charge and the population of muzzies growing. I’m betting that Malthus will eventually be proved right.
And BTW, don’t give them any freakin’ aid.
- The smart ones will leave first. Think of it as a self-filtering system.
I remember a British blog comment earlier this year about the Australian roadshow encouraging skilled worker migrants that was rolling through North America, Western Europe and a few other carefully-targeted developing countries such as Thailand.
The blogger decided Australia was looking for pre-integrated migrants.
Good policy with little fanfare if true.

No, Henryk M. Broder is actually one of the few non-America-hating journalists here. The group blog he contributes to is Die Achse des Guten (The Axis of Good). His most recent post happens to highlight the execrable “uncovered meat” quote by al-Hilali.
If I had to guess, his omission of America is probably because the US isn’t exactly known for pursuing much skill-based immigration. (And why the hell not?!) The ones who should really feel snubbed are the Canadians.
- Hey?! No hogging all the smart Europeans. Tell ya what – how about we go in for a little 3 way split with us, Oz and the Kiwis? Maybe the French could go to Quebec?Posted by Major John on 2006 10 26 at 02:02 PM • permalink

- To an American the whole car-burning thing is bizarre. In Texas the urban yutes would get their effin’ head blowed off within the first few repetitions.
Unless they were burning a Prius. Then they’d get a pat on the ass.

- Don’t let them immigrate if they ruined their country they will do they same elsewhere.
Let them live with their multicultural liberal values and give them no place to run!

“Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said the events “should lead to an immediate response.”
“We cannot accept the unacceptable,” he told reporters”
My money’s at 6-1 on the “unacceptable”, i.e., appeasement.

- The most interesting factoid from the Brussels Journal:
“Mohammed is already the most popular name for new-born boys in Brussels, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and other major European cities…”

- Supercat,
Another take on that. European immigrants versus immigrants from countries like India, Mexico, South Korea, Honduras, Vietnam, Cuba, Russia, etc. Yeah, I know which group of immigrants I’d put my money on. The European immigrants we are talking about aren’t your grandparents’ European immigrants, if you know what I mean.

- #15 Room 237: I think the real issue is that the far left is looking to create soldiers for their upcoming revolution.
If they still think like that, they really are dumb communists.
Trying to ‘use’ Islam in any Marxist revolution would soon turn them into Trotskyites – compared with Ahm-Mad-in-Jihad’s Stalinists.
- #33 Grimmy, you don’t translate French subtly enough: “Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin said the events “should lead to an immediate response.”
‘Immediate response’ means: as in ‘we support immediate action on the UN mandatory resolutions against Saddam Hussein’
This means ‘NOT YET’ or ‘NOT EVER’.However, all French forms for
‘We will immediately surrender’ mean
‘We will immediately surrender’
OR ‘Can’t you see we HAVE surrendered -it’s our policy.’

Because skilled people make money, so there’s a risk they’ll end up voting Republican. But get Juan the lettuce picker and his fourteen immediate family in here, and there’s Democrat gold, baby.
I do believe Teddy Kennedy wrote that immigration policy back in the day.
This is why it pisses me off that the MSM (and even Instapundit, for God’s sake) keeps talking about the “immigration debate.” There is no “immigration debate.” There’s an illegal alien debate. If it was an immigration debate, I would be on the side that favors tripling the quota, as long as it’s limited to true refugees and skilled, self-supporting people.
- I for one welcome our new Nordic Goddess overlords.
Our customs and quarantine service is going to have their work cut out making sure these Euroweenies don’t bring in any baggage from the badlands.
And if they try any of that Statist, post modern, sneering crap here, I will slap their faces until their arses bleed. It’s a long and laborious process, but very therapeutic.

- Australia is a fantastic country (though not number one in every respect, of course). No doubt some more Europeans will realise this and make their way here.
But I think the real question is, do we have the stomach to preserve and strengthen our institutions so that the process of islamisation gets no more of a toehold here? We may end up with the privilege of preserving british-derived liberties long after large parts of Britain (Birmingham, Bradford, Leeds, Manchester, and sections of London) have lost them.
Who fancies running for council in the cities of Moreland or Darebin in Melbourne? Or around Lakemba? We need to assert that these areas must remain acessible and comfortable for the Australian mainstream. We don’t do ghettos.
- #51, I for one welcome our new Nordic Goddess overlords.
I second that motion. And apply for the job as suncscreen boy (yeah, I’m that young) to help our curvaceous new leaders avoid sunburn…
