Isn’t it lovely to be a citizen of France these days?
Muslims Burn About 1,200 cars on New Year’s Eve in France
Interior Minister Manuel Valls said Tuesday that 1,193 vehicles were burned overnight around the country. Clashes between police and offenders in the New Year’s Eve took place in the Muslim majority districts in the city of Strasbourg and Mulhouse. About seven police officers were attacked New Years eve night.
Around 1,200 cars were burned by rioting Muslims on the New Year’s Eve in France, where the mass burning cars in the national holidays are kind of tradition among Muslim residents of the disadvantaged suburbs of immigrants.
In recent years, the celebration of the New Year and the Bastille Day (July 14) in France is often marked by mass burning cars as well. On the night of January 1, 2010, there were 1,137 thousand cars burned on the night of January 1, 2009 – 1,147 thousand were burned.
In the summer of 2010, the Interior Minister Brice Hortefeux made the decision to stop the practice of counting the demonstrators, as they claimed it only encourages the Muslim youths to commit such crimes . The current Minister of the Interior said that “the French people should know the truth.”

Kwitcherbellyachin’ France. This was the bargain you made decades ago thanks to de Gaulle after WWII. Quoting Bat Ye’or:
EU, created as a counter-weight against America and American policy, the idea birthed through the fetid alliance between intrinsically antisemitic Arabs & France suffers the law of unintended consequences. These car-b-q’s (consumers of Arab petrol) are but a tiny sliver of the self inflicted damage the French (and ultimately any EU nation with open borders to the muslim hoards) are subject to. Followers of Islam do not live side by side in peace with ‘the other’.

Historic lessons as fresh as that of the savage Islamic Balkanization of Europe continue to be ignored at their peril. Paging Generation Identitaire
No surprise here this is a clear result of the liberal and leftist bleeding heart policies of the feckless, groveling, political class who have sold out their nation. IMHO a perfect example of the enemy within inviting the enemy in.
