Les Nuits Musulmanes des Fenêtres Brisées - II
Scylla & Charybdis
By BummerDietz

The Sunday Los Angeles Times runs a confused, front-page French riot article, which tries to lay blame for the ongoing French riots on the -- French police! Read it here.

There isn't a decent logical syllogism in the entire piece (of the cause/effect type), but the editor unwittingly failed to censor out a terrific anti-PC revelation, buried at the end of the piece.

Recall, the MSM has continually carried the curious demand of the rioters that the rioting will continue until Sarkozy resigns.* This demand is said to stem from Sarkozy's calling the rioters scum, and his saying that the ghettos need to be cleaned out.

Are the young Muslim men so pure, that they have never heard such street talk, and therefore they are offended?

Of course not. The infitada leader(s) want Sarkozy out, because they know that Sarkozy understands. And that is the source of the LA Times' unwitting jewel, today:


"Tensions rose after the center-right government wrested power from the Socialist Party in 2002 and Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy ordered police to reclaim turf from gangs and Islamic extremists who had become powerful in the cites. Most officers admire Sarkozy, calling him a rare leader who is in touch with street reality.

"...One arm of the police knows the cites extremely well - the domestic General Intelligence division. Descended from the political police of Napoleonic times, it has no real equivalent in the United States. In the past it spied on unions, leftists and other social groups.... But in the 1970s, the mission evolved. As immigrant-dominated slums grew, intelligence officers targeted two interconnected threats: Islamic extremism and organized crime.

"...The analysis of the intelligence division was key in deployments against the unrest, guiding riot police who were often sent into areas they did not know."



So are the agitators really upset at Sarkozy's language? Or, is it really that the leaders of the islamofascist movement in France are opposing a powerful government minister who has begun to shine a light on their nefarious plans?

Methinks Sarkozy is on to something big, and methinks the islamofascists aren't to happy about his understanding.
