Violence spreads in 6th straight night of rioting by Muslim youths in Paris suburbs

By Aussiegirl

Coming soon to a neighborhood near you in Europe. Eurabia is exploding and spreading. Forget the "spirit of dialogue and respect" as called for by Chirac. France and Europe stand on the threshold of being overtaken by the Muslim Trojan Horse in their midst. Muslims openly plan for and call for the eventual Islamization of Europe and the world by dint of their sheer numbers and the west's foolish willingness to be culturally sensitive. You cannot be sensitive to the needs of an enemy within. It must be recognized and then resisted without reservation.

France's PM calls for calm in Paris suburbs - Europe - MSNBC.com

French President Jacques Chirac, intervening after six nights of rioting in suburban Paris, called Wednesday for calm and said authorities will use a firm hand to curtail what may become a “dangerous situation.”

The violence, sparked initially by the deaths of two teenagers, has exposed the despair, anger and deep-rooted criminality in the poor suburbs, where police hesitate to venture and which have proved fertile terrain for Islamic extremists.

“The law must be applied firmly and in a spirit of dialogue and respect,” Chirac said at a Cabinet meeting. “The absence of dialogue and an escalation of a lack of respect will lead to a dangerous situation.”

Chirac’s remarks were passed on to reporters by government spokesman Jean-Francois Cope.

The rioting, which spread Tuesday night to at least nine Paris-region towns, has exposed rifts in Chirac’s government, with Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy — a potential 2007 presidential candidate — being criticized for his tough talk and police tactics.

It also has renewed debate about France’s failure to fully integrate its millions of immigrants, many of whom are trapped in poverty and grinding unemployment, living in low-cost, sometimes decrepit, suburban housing estates where gangs dealing drugs and stolen goods sometimes are in control.

'Profound frustrations'
That Chirac intervened personally was a measure of the crisis. He acknowledged the “profound frustrations” of troubled neighborhoods but said violence was not the answer and that efforts must be stepped up to combat it.

“Zones without law cannot exist in the republic,” the French leader said.
