There's lots of other observations about what this Francofada is about and what it portends for the future: Mark Steyn

I mean, there is a real...this, I think, is the start of a long Eurabian civil war we're witnessing here.

Mark goes on to describe the Muslim ghettos in France, the "youth," and the coverup by the entire press about what is going on. And to think these French pricks have been putting us down for years.

And Kaus is in rare form today. Regarding the NYT refusing to print retractions in their print edition and instead only posting it on their pay per view website, Kaus lets fly in a piece titled, The Art of Weaselly Semi-Corrections---
Kristof shows how it's done. The B.S. is free. The truth you have to pay for! It's so simple and intuitive it's genius. The Mickster is loaded for bear this AM.

Robert Spencer over at Jihad Watch has a ton of opinion and analysis about the situation in France too, and as always every POV is good. You pays your money and you takes your pick. One of the themes running through many of the observations is that France, and particularly the French Media, have been covering up this situation for years, it's only now when the Muslims are in open rebellion that the French let people know.

Yet despite all the national and international headlines they occasioned, last week's disturbances were no freak occurrence. For at least 15 years, the immigrant and first-generation suburbs around France's large and medium-sized cities have been out of control. Crime rates have gone through the roof: According to the Renseignements Généraux, a division of the police, 70,000 violent crimes have been recorded in urban settings since the beginning of the year. They include the torching of more than 28,000 cars and 17,500 trash bins. According to the Interior Ministry, some 9,000 police cars have been stoned by youths this year.

Jihad Watch, go there.
