The French Are Fried...

France has lost complete control of her government. For 18 nights they have allowed young Muslim men to run wild and have done nothing more than fire some tear gas at them. The French now say they are optimistic that things are nearing the end. Why is that? The number of cars burned nightly has steadily decreased — from 502 overnight into Saturday, to 374 overnight into Saturday, to 208 as Monday began. A week earlier, 1,400 cars were incinerated in a single night. It seems to most of us these terrorists have run out of cars to burn, not that things are winding down.

The failure of the French leadership to understand what is happening, let alone develop a strategy to cope with it is the real problem. How can they allow unchecked mayhem for 18 nights? In this country the police and National Guard would have gotten this under control in a day or 2. The French have allowed it to continue to spread. Now these wimps have proposed that the European Union give $58 million to France for helping riot-hit towns recover. They say the EU could make up to $1.2 billion available in longer-term support.

A group calling itself the Union of Muslim Organizations in France has issued a "fatwa" (Islamic edict) calling on the Muslim youths to cease their rebellion. The message is clear: Rather than obeying the laws of the French Republic, Muslims in France should follow "fatwas" concocted by the Muslim Brotherhood. This is very scary to me. I feel this “disturbance” is nothing more than a dry run to gauge the French response before the Muslims make their real move at a Jihad in the future. The French have made their bed and now have to sleep in it…
