Two Weeks

That's right folks. Two weeks worth of rioting. Despite what the media is saying, things aren't slacking off. The French media is consciously refusing to report the full scale of the torching of vehicles as per the French 3 report. In fact, trying to claim that the riots are subsiding on the basis of the car arson reports is misleading because we're now hearing about the destruction of businesses and other structures throughout France. The rioters are now going after targets far larger than just a few cars.

Meanwhile, firebrand extremist right winger Jean-Marie Le Pen is calling for more extreme measures, including explusion for those who aren't native born French.

French far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen claimed Wednesday his National Front party has been "submerged" with prospective members and supportive e-mail since rioting erupted in heavily immigrant communities near Paris.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Le Pen described the recent violence as "just the start" of conflicts caused by "massive immigration from countries of the Third World that is threatening not just France but the whole continent."

Le Pen said people with immigrant backgrounds who commit crimes should be stripped of their French nationality and sent "back to their country of origin."

If the French listen to Le Pen, they'll be in for even more trouble. The rest of Europe is worried about the riots spreading outside France's border. Here's a clue - they already have considering the reports from Belgium and Germany.

The riots are affecting the price of the Euro. Curfews are being imposed along the Riviera. And Muslims are blaming French society for failing to do more. Pot. Meet Kettle.
