I have been watching the story about the riots in France, and just today I discovered these were islamists doing the rioting. Interesting how the MSM failed to mention this point when reporting.

if people native to the middle east weren't somewhat less white than europeans, how could we possibly profile terrorists?


Don't they have beards, the lot of them?

Anyway, if this was about skin colour, why are Africans not rioting because of even worse treatment?

Perhaps this isn't about race but behaviour?

what makes you think the rioters are only people of arabic or middle eastern ethnicity? this episode was sparked by the death of two kids who were electrocuted while running from the cops. the family of one is from mali...the other one's family is tunisian.

The Netherlands were founded as a secular country?

maybe you should consider doing a piece about how horrible it is to be french?

I could take care of that.  Just as soon as I finish my Escargo and Frog Legs.

Probably the same generalisation that made you scream "dark skin".

First clue is the media didn't identify if they were islamic or not, which during violence usually means islamists.

The next clue is some of the media is reporting the rioters are mostly islamic now.

But let's forget that for just a second. The riots, or "episode" as you refer it, was started by two people who wouldn't obey the law. Doesn't that just sound stupid.

all kids do a lotta stupid stuff. if they all hadda die for that, maybe 1 kid outta 30 would make it to 20.

And they killed themselves if we are to believe the reports.  The Police did not kill them, just chase them.  SO you are saying that if a minor breaks the law, they should not be apprehended and instead allowed to continue their crime spree?

SO im not saying anything of the sort. stupid kills. most of us get a pass. they didn't.

no need to get one more jab in ('Doesn't that just sound stupid?') aint like they can benefit from his advice.

compared to this statement (if the media don't indicate whether perpetrators of violence are islamic, it usually means they are islamists), your favorite gore quote (which i'm pretty sure you find amusing because the meaning eluded you) is sagacious wisdom. what about when the media DOES identify them as islamic...does that usually mean they arent?
