Update (11/4): The rioting continues to spread. If anyone finds a headline with the word “Muslims” in it, please let me know.

——————————————————
Paris is reaping what it’s sown, and if we don’t heed the warnings (as if the murder of thousands and destruction of two buildings in New York City weren’t enough), we can expect the same.
Lax immigration policies, prostration to the god of multiculturalism, and the refusal to fight fire with fire are three reasons why Muslim “youths” in Paris are rioting in the streets.
As I see it, the religion of Islam is inherently incompatible with the concept of individual liberty, a crucial component of western countries. It’s no accident that a culture like the West and a nation like the United States were envisioned and created by people who were either Christians and/or biblically literate and/or respected the Christian tradition. In countries under Islamic law, there’s no such idea as “individual liberty.” You’re either a Muslim or in danger of having your throat sliced open.
A growing problem in the West is not only our insane, suicidal embrace of “multiculturalism,” but an inability to recognize that Islam is an enemy intent on destroying freedom wherever it exists. Those Muslim rioters in Paris, angry about being unemployed or whatever their excuse, need to be crushed.
Instead, authorities are apologizing for throwing tear gas into a mosque. They’re smoking crack, right? If rioting thugs are hiding in mosques, why wouldn’t you try to tear-gas them out? This is similar to the Guantanamo Bay Koran-flushing and don’t-touch-the-temple memes that floated around.
Let me be clear, especially if you’re reading this blog for the first time. While I don’t believe every single Muslim on the planet is violent, I believe that the nature of Islam itself is violent. One of the most stunning things I ever heard was George Bush’s contention that Islam is a “religion of peace.” Yes, you have your Christian kooks blowing up child killers “in the name of God,” but generally, such incidents are isolated.
On the contrary, Islamofascism is the order of the day. Every day there’s more news of death at the hands of Muslims. Instead of taking an extremely hard line and putting pressure on Muslim so-called leaders to denounce these thugs and round them up, we’re the ones injuring our spines from all the bowing and scraping, trying to prove we’re not religious bigots. Forget that. I care more about my physical well-being and preservation of my way of life than what weak-willed, emasculated liberals say about me.
If Muslim extremists are willing to blow up themselves and children, we must be willing to do what it takes to stop them. We’re certainly able.
In response to the riots, President Jacques Chirac said the law must be enforced firmly but “in a spirit of dialogue and respect.” Whatever that means. Heart of a lion, he has.
This headline makes me sick: French youths riot for seventh night running. French youths? They make it sound so generic and ordinary, as if a bunch of rowdy, drunk teenagers decided to throw rocks at cars. These are radical Muslims, foreign invaders, destroying property and injuring people who graciously allowed them into their country in the first place!
The whole thing is comical, especially Chirac’s pleas.
You notice how Muslims adopt the tendency to riot, protest and cry “Discrimination!” once they’re in western countries, when such actions would render them headless in the countries they fled from? No gratitude at all.
I’m done. Carry on.

It is a fact that the majority of the “youths†and “gangs†who have been rioting outside Paris for a week now are Muslims. You will not find that fact reported directly in this Washington Post story. You will read the rioters called “gangs of youthsâ€, “riotersâ€, “immigrantsâ€, and “poor†and that’s it.
Yet, the article notes that what sparked the riots was the death of two Muslim youths who decided to hide from a police checkpoint in a power substation, where they electrocuted themselves to death.
From a commenter:
Islam isn’t just incompatible with individual liberty, it’s incompatible with the very notion of civilized society itself.

Last year the acclaimed historian Bernard Lewis, formerly a great admirer of Islam, said that “Europe would be Islamic by the end of the century.”
He added, “at the very latest.” This leads to a conjecture: Would that leave the USA as the last bastion of the West? Or are we that already?
Is it possible that the Muslims who are for peace and tolerance are the ones who aren’t following the teachings of their religion. Should we wake up and actually start condemning not just the terrorists, but the religion as well?
La Shawn Barber makes an excellent point that none of the reports of the “unrest “in the banlieux makes any mention of the religion of the rioters. Actually I think she’s being a little easy on the whole thing…
Are we breeding our own Intifada? Could we eventually face the same thing in the U.S. that France is dealing with now? Not from the Muslim youth that is at odds with the French government, but from our own home-grown illegal immigrant population.
Today, we are continually witnessing Biblical prophecy happening right before our very eyes!
…Three thousand years ago God inspired King David to predict that the reborn nation of Israel would be immediately surrounded by enemies, including the Arab nations of Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon and Syria.
What has happened to Paris is a massive influx, over a very short period of time, of people whose culture, religion, and language are foreign to Europe. The French have made no effort to assimilate these people, and the immigrants have in turn willfully (or perhaps deliberately) dropped out of native French life.
