Rioters have taken to the streets of Paris once more, reminding us of the massive rioting that took place only last fall.

The BBC reports:


Paris suburb sees fresh rioting

The mayor's house is now under police guard following the riotingAbout 100 youths wielding baseball bats have fought French police in a Paris suburb, in the worst such violence since widespread riots in November.

The youths threw stones and petrol bombs at police in the town of Montfermeil overnight. They also hurled stones at the local mayor's home.

Seven officers were hurt in the clashes, which lasted several hours.
Police say the trouble began after the arrest on Monday of a young man suspected of assaulting a bus driver.

Three youths were arrested in the clashes, which left part of Montfermeil littered with broken glass and burnt rubbish, the French news agency AFP reported.

The home of Montfermeil's centre-right mayor, Xavier Lemoine, was stoned after he banned youths from gathering in big groups in the town centre last month.

The suburb lies next to Clichy-sous-Bois, the suburb which saw the first flare-up of rioting in November.

In the wave of riots last year, almost 9,000 cars were torched and 3,000 people arrested across France.

The message sent by the rioters is clear: these suburbs are ours, your French laws are no good here, this is Muslim country. Any increased police activity in the Muslim ghettos of France is met with rioting and violent resistance, and many of those suburbs are already de facto under Sharia law. Its not just police activity, but any presence of any form of the French state is not tolerated, including emergency services such as fire-fighters and ambulances. Every time the police or emergency services attempt to do their job, they are attacked by mobs weilding petrol bombs and baseball bats, and many of these so-called 'parts of France' are foreign colonies, where the authority of the French government is weak or nonexistant. These riots are not as much about social, ethnic, cultural or racial equality, as it is interpreted by the liberal media, but about power and control.

It might sound far-fetched, but is it really? Same trends can be noticed in Britain, where 40% of Muslims would like to implement Sharia in predominantly Muslim areas, or more recently, in Sweden, where a Muslim organization proposed different laws for Muslims and non-Muslims.

An excerpt from Paul Belien's excellent piece for the American Conservative, commenting on the rioting of the fall of 2005:

On Thursday night, Oct. 27, two teenagers, Ziad Benna (17) and Banou Traoré (15), fled into an electrical power substation in the Paris suburb of Clichy-sous-Bois. They were hiding from police who had entered the suburb to investigate a robbery. Why the boys fled and climbed over the three-meter fence of the power station is unclear. The result, however, was something every moderately intelligent schoolboy could have foreseen: they got electrocuted.

When the fire brigade arrived to retrieve their bodies, something happened that every moderately intelligent French politician could have foreseen. Neighborhood gangs attacked the firemen and police officers and went on a rampage, setting fire to dozens of cars. The same thing happened during the following nights, when schools, shops, and restaurants were also set ablaze. At first the media did not devote much attention to the rioting. These things happen every day in the predominantly immigrant and largely Muslim neighborhoods surrounding every major French city.

Only one week earlier Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy had declared in Le Monde: “Violence in French suburbs is a daily fact of life. Since the beginning of the year stones were thrown at 9,000 police cars and each night 20 to 40 cars are torched.” For some years, vehicle burning has been a favorite way to celebrate New Year’s Eve. If only 30 cars are set ablaze on an ordinary night and just 300 on New Year’s, the French police consider the situation to be “stable.”

France is not exceptional. Police officers and firemen are used to having stones thrown at them in Western Europe’s immigrant neighborhoods as a normal part of their daily routine. This is what Andrew Osborn of the British Sunday newspaper The Observer wrote after visiting Borgerhout, the largely Moroccan suburb of the Flemish city of Antwerp, in December 2002: “Outsiders aren’t welcome. ‘Go home before we beat your f------g white ass,’ is how one group of young men greet The Observer. Passing police cars are bombarded with a barrage of expletives and spittle.”

Here is what Rolf Landgren, a police officer in the Swedish town of Malmö, told Steve Harrigan of Fox News in November 2004: “If we park our car it will be damaged—so we have to go very often in two vehicles, one just to protect the other vehicle.” Fear of violence has changed the way police, firemen, and emergency workers do their jobs, explained Harrigan. There are some neighborhoods Swedish ambulance drivers will not go to without a police escort.

The following dispatch is from neighboring Denmark, where this October rioters burned down a kindergarten in Århus. The newspaper Jyllands-Posten witnessed how the fire brigade did not dare to enter the area. Private firefighters were sent in under armored police protection: “Falck, a private emergency service, sent a group of fire engines under police escort to the Kjærslund nursery. A window had been shattered at the back of the house, and the fire had been blazing, apparently caused by gasoline poured onto the floor and lit. Falck stopped on Viby Square, a couple of kilometers from the site of the arson attack, waiting for the police to turn up so they could be escorted to the nursery.”

What Europe is witnessing is the wholesale disintegration of society, the splintering of nations. Native Europeans have been far too slow in realizing the danger in introducing large numbers of culturally distant people into their societies. All models have faced failure, from the French model, which is heavy on integration, to the Swedish model of Multiculturalism. Integration can only work when the subject of integration has something to integrate into. A Moroccan in Beligum lives in a neighbourhood inhabited mostly by other Moroccans or North Africans. At what point is he meant to integrate into Belgian society? Many defend the riots by saying that they are a French tradition of sorts, which would imply that the rioters have most certainly digested the core principles of French culture. Well, riots may be more common in France, but what about Sweden, Belgium, Germany, Britain, Denmark? The riots all display the same basic elements: segregated Muslim neighbourhoods inhabited by angry Muslim youths (or "French"/"Danish"/"Swedish"/"German" youth as newspeak of today dictates), an incident involving the authorities and a violent reaction to the arrival of the authorities.

This same attitude is reflected in the Cartoon row: although Danish law dictates, that the press is free and as such it can publish pictures of Mohammed, the Muslims, who were angered by this, wanted to have Danes respect Islamic law, wanting to impose it upon Europe.

The future looks bleak in terms of social harmony in many major European countries. The worst part is, that so many are still trying to realize the fact that they've made massive mistakes and errors of judgement. The truth is slow to penetrate their ideological armour, and for Europe the clock is ticking.

How can this problem be solved? It is an extremely difficult question. The problem with this 'multicultural project' is that it is very difficult to reverse. Many nations in Europe can still avert the disaster, many must deal with it in their own manner. But so far, little action has been taken and relatively little attention has been paid to a problem, that will determine the future of Europe.

According to the south-Swedish newspaper Helsingborgs Dagblad, Sverigedemokraterna is popular among youth, or, as the researcher suggets, it might just be a sign of teenage rebellion. Here are some excerpts from the article:

"Every other ninth-grader does not know what party they would vote for in the parliamentary elections, or if they would vote at all, shows the extensive opinion research. At the same time the Sweden Democrats are enjoying great support. They became the most popular party among ninth-graders in Landskrona. However, the results should be interpreted carefully, say researchers."

"...However, of those who do know who they would vote for, many have chosen the Sweden Democrats. They would be the 3rd biggest party in North-Western Skåne, after the Moderates and Social Democrats. In Landskrona, however, they had the most votes out of all the parties with 16 per cent."

However, Jens Rydgren, a sociologist from the Stockholm university, does not think that this necessarily means those who chose the Sweden Democrats now would do so four years from now.

"-You have to interpret these results very carefully. When presented with a poll such as this one, which does not affect anything and the students being of that age, it could be a form of protest. They know which is seen as the 'naughty' choice."

Jens Rydgren thinks that no conclusions can be made before the reasons behind the votes and how they were cast are clear. It must be known what the results represent, he says, before reaching any kind of conclusion.

"In Ängelholm the Sweden Democrats received six per cent of the votes and seven per cent in Helsingborg. Among all ninth-graders that took part in the poll in Sweden, 12 570 persons in total, the support for the Sweden Democrats is at six per cent."

The study also shows, that politically activity in general is low among Swedish teenagers. The article also included this little gem: "If you ask Enes Ferhatovic, Diana Muriqi, Suada Racic och Sejla Kurtovic at Gustav Adolfskolan in Landskrona, the Social Democrats are the most popular party." You don't say?

Here are the results in diagram form. The lighter bars show the results for North-Western Skåne and the darker bars are the results for the whole country.



With over half of all ninth-graders being undecided or uninterested, and with such high support among the Sweden Democrats, it has become evident, that people are getting sick and tired of the current political establishment (this includes the media) and the direction the country is headed. It may have been a protest vote, a slap in the face for Persson and his cronies, or it may have been just for 'laughs'. The latter, however, seems unlikely to me. The Sweden Democrats had the best showing in Landskrona, is there a reason for it?

Here are some excerpts from an article I found it the same paper:

"Beaten, shot and mock-excecuted

Peter, 25, was beaten, mock-excecuted and shot 20 times by a gang of youths. It was only after two hours of terror that he managed to escape. He did not get any compensation from his insurance, the reason: he was intoxicated."
"Peter was on his way home from the bar Gringos in central Landskrona when he was knocked down from behind with a hard object. When he woke up, he was being dragged along a sand path, from Eriksgatan to a place protected from sight under a flight of stairs at Alléskolan. There two more persons appeared. The attackers encouraged each other on by yelling "svennejävel" [=Swedish devil] and repeatedly beat and kicked Peter while he was down on the ground. They even jumped on his back. If he didn't shut up, he would die.
-They ripped off my bealt and my shirt and took all my valuables - ring, necklace, bracelett, mobile phone and wallet.
But he refused to give the code to his bank account to the youth gang. Then one of the robbers sat on Peter, pressed a gun to his neck and said that he would excecute him. Then he fired three or four shots in quick succession.
-"Is this how it will end", I thought. But after a few seconds I realized that it was "only" a gas-powered pistol, for he fired several shots at a time. While it hurt terribly, I felt relieved." "

In the end, Peter was forced to give the code to his bank account, but not before he had no less than 20 lead pellets lodged in his body.

"Peter has had good help from a psychologist to deal with the event, but it will never be quite like before. Both him and his girlfriend are equipped with personal alarms and they plan meticulously how to get home in the evenings - to walk is not an option."

Perhaps it is a coincidence that this event took place in Landskrona, the same place where support for the Sweden Democrats is at its highest among teenagers, but I do not think so. The establishment continues to be unable to address this most serious of issues: the safety of its citizens, that they claim to represent. Already a number of 'Citizen Guards' have been established around Sweden because of the ever-growing violence, the incomptence and lack of trust of the police. The Citizen Guards have been reiceved positively by the vast majority of people, or so one could deduce from the feedback that Kvällsposten received after their article on one of such Guards.
