Islamic Rampage in France

The leftist media would do everyone a favor if they started emphasizing this persistent problem.

An average of 112 cars a day have been torched across France so far this year and there have been 15 attacks a day on police and emergency services. Nearly 3,000 police officers have been injured in clashes this year. Officers have been badly injured in four ambushes in the Paris outskirts since September.

Some police talk of open war with youths who are bent on more than vandalism. "The thing that has changed over the past month is that they now want to kill us," said Bruno Beschizza, the leader of Synergie, a union to which 40 per cent of officers belong. Action Police, a hardline union, said: "We are in a civil war, orchestrated by radical Islamists." Car-burning has become so routine on the estates that it has been eclipsed in news coverage by the violence against police.

Although the swath of violence has been blamed on radical Islamofascists, it's become so common that one could easily contend that the violence is not radical behavior at all, rather it's just business as usual for followers of the religion of peace.

I'm convinced that the majority of the followers of Islam are advocates of the violence because they could stop it if they were not. After all, they prevent recurrence of a variety of crimes by dismemberment of body parts and are able to preserve honor by killing wayward females. Therefore, I believe the endemic violence in France could easily end if the "moderate" Muslims wanted it to happen.
