Reuters gets into the French riot 'fact manipulation' game
BY GREGOR

Yesterday I posted on the French riots and how the European media has been manipulating facts in their reporting in order to avoid offending Muslims. Reuters has now gone a step further with this report today. It’s important to note that throughout this entire article on even more bus burnings … there is nota single mention of the word “Muslim.”

Meanwhile, France continues to burn in flames while their government does absolutely nothing to stop it.

Via Reuters:

Police unions too are ringing alarm bells. They say 14 officers a day are hurt and police face an urban guerrilla war in the suburbs that ring most major French cities. Several officers have been hospitalized with injuries from beatings after apparently being lured into traps by gangs of youths in recent weeks.

There’s that “youths” reference again. But they don’t dare point out that they are for the most part – all Muslim.

Here are some disturbing numbers. These numbers are even more disturbing when you realize how the entire year's events have been almost completely IGNORED.

In the first six months of 2006, some 21,000 cars were burned and 2,882 attacks recorded against the police, fire and ambulance services.

I’ve never seen such cowardice from any government in history.

Two armed men set fire to a bus in a rundown Paris suburb on Friday, the anniversary of two deaths which triggered the worst riots to hit the French capital in nearly 40 years.
A police source said the two hooded men boarded the bus in front of a train station in the Seine-Saint-Denis suburb in the early evening and ordered around 15 passengers and the driver to get off before setting it alight.
At least four buses have been attacked in poor suburbs around the capital since Sunday and police have said violence could spiral out of control once again.
"You can really feel the anger and the suffering of the people who live in Clichy-sous-Bois," said Soumeya Ata, who traveled to the suburb north of Paris from the southwestern town of Pau to attend the commemoration.
Marchers, many sporting T-shirts with the slogan "Dead for Nothing", passed the electrical substation where the two died. Their families wept as they laid flowers at its gate.
The 2005 riots were the worst since student protests in 1968 and the government has highlighted the 420 million euros ($531.6 million) it has earmarked to improve life in the suburbs.

There’s that “REWARD FOR TERRORISM” I talked about yesterday. Riot and burn the city and we’ll give you 420 million euros for your trouble, and throw in a few brand new Mosques as well.
