The French Intifada

For the 10th night in a row, Muslims rioted in France. Cars, shopping malls and schools were torched.

Why?

Reading the news sites, the answer is obvious. The immigrants are suffering from poverty, unemployment and discrimmination. Makes sense, until you realize that France had several massive strikes just this last month, to protest unemployment. Organized by the workers' unions, these protests had the support of more than 80% of the French.

The government, however, is starting to suspect the riots are organized by crimminals and Islamic militants.

Meanwhile, in Belgium, when police stopped a man on the street, nearby youths threated police with France-like riots if the police did not leave.
