I think the riots in France are a protest by disenfranchised Muslim youth against that country’s involvement in the disastrous imperialist adventure in Iraq.

Either that or France’s ridiculous unstinting support of Israel against all good sense.

Rage of French Youth Is a Fight for Recognition
Of course, it would be a lot easier if they didn’t all look alike. I’d like to help them learn to help themselves. I suggest they fabricate some sort of name badges.
Could be, could be…
Or it could be a somewhat belated reaction to that racist military adventurism of Charles Martel.
I may be going out on a limb here, but I think I detect a strong undercurrent of disgust with McDonald’s exploitation of our bovine friends on the bloody altar of capitalist profit, and could there be a hint – just a hint, mind – of anti-global warming? I have to admit to being slightly amused by their presumption. Of course it goes without saying that burning cars is a direct protest against the car-oil duopoly, easily outweighing any transient qualms about the pollution caused by such burning. Among those with the proper discernment for such things, naturally.
The ‘riots’ have been engineered by Mossad in order so that the zionist-crusader alliance can extend the Caspian oil pipeline all the way from Afghanistan to Jeb Bush’s house in Florida, for which they need the vital hub of Argeunteil-sur-Seine. Ackchewally.
Did anyone else do a double take when Huw Edwards last night (Monday) was reading out the headlines on the BBC Ten O’Clock news and without even a pause for breath elided the two statements that Australian police had arrested terrorist suspects thus foiling a terrorist attack and Australia was a key ally of the Bush administration and had sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan?
Radio 1 passed on the Foreign Office’s advice to visitors to France to avoid the “demos” the other day. Whether that’s actually what the FO said or Newsbeat’s interpretation, I have no idea. If it was the FO, could it be a terribly amusing Greek pun, d’you think?
Newsbeat also played an interview with a French rapper who managed to contain his laughter as he explained that the riots are caused by his not seeing enough black people on television.
