Manuel Valls announced today that 1193 vehicles were burnt last night across the country. Of these vehicles burned, 344 were due to fire spreading. “All figures were recorded in the late afternoon,” said the Minister.
In detail, in the national police area, 907 vehicles were set alight, including 267 by fire spreading. In the metropolitan police area (Paris and three suburb departments), 209 cars were burned, including 54 by fire spreading. In the Gendarmerie area, 77 vehicles were torched. There are nine departments with more than 40 fires, Seine-Saint-Denis (83 vehicles torched), Haut-Rhin (72), Bas-Rhin (70) North (61) and the Bouches-du-Rhone (51).
Clashes in Strasbourg and Mulhouse The Minister also announced 339 arrests and 244 people in custody. He also said “three policemen and four gendarmes were injured. However, there were no clashes during the night, except in Strasbourg and Mulhouse.” “This night, in terms of data and events is comparable to other years,” said Valls while deploring the death of a Strasbourg youth in a firework accident. The minister added: “I want to pay tribute to the forces mobilized last night and that made it possible for gatherings, parties, to take place in the best conditions.”
Charlie Hebdo explains its reasons for doing a cartoon history of Mohamed.
A couple of quick points.
As I have mentioned before, I think the reason they are doing this is to prove that Muslims react viciously and violently to any discussion of their religious dogma no matter how truthful or accurate it is, if it is not done in a manner sufficiently worshipful and submissive (in the case of non-Muslims discussing it) for Muslim sensibilities. Remember the Islamic definition of slander is not ours.
Secondly hadiths and sharia law is ignored in his reasoning, depending only on Koran. In any case, the results of this experiment, while predictable, are still beneficial. People need to see that Islam is not just another relatively benign religion but an intolerant and domineering fascist ideology that must be excluded from Western democratic institutions.

Islam Vs. Europe

This is the Holy Sepulchre in the basilica of Notre-Dame-du-Chêne, a shrine to Our Lady and a place of pilgrimage in Vion, France. It was vandalised on Christmas Eve and then again on Christmas day. Graffiti was left on the scene, saying (in English): “Smoke weed every day”.
“When a synagogue or mosque is damaged, everyone talks about it. When it’s a church, no one cares,” says the rector with regret, recalling the example of the desecration of the chapel of the military base in Toulon, on 8 December.

Charlie Hebdo to publish non-provocative history of the Pirate Mohamed, founder of Islam
My suspicion is that CH is attempting to show that even a certifiably accurate history of Islam will cause violent reactions by Muslims if it falls into the Islamic definition of ‘slander’, meaning, ‘may or may not be true but does not depict Islam or it’s founder in the best possible light to infidels’.

Charlie Hebdo will publish a “halal” biography of Mohammed
Charlie Hebdo does it again. The newspaper will publish a special edition on Wednesday with the title “The Life of Muhammad”, a “perfectly halal” cartoon biography made up from texts of Muslim chroniclers. It was Charb, the editor of the weekly satirical magazine, who communicated this on Sunday to AFP. But the newspaper’s management promised that this time the tone will not be provocative.
“Neither a cartoon nor a satire”
It will not be a cartoon nor a satire, but a detailed account taken from serious bibliographical sources. This fact is certified in a foreword by “Zineb”, a Franco-Moroccan sociologist of religions and co-author of this publication.
“This is a biography authorized by Islam since it was written by Muslims. It is a compilation of what was written about the life of Muhammad by Muslim chroniclers and it has simply been drawn in pictures “, Charb added, rejecting that he would be engaging in provocation. “I do not think that (even) the most learned Muslims will find anything substantial to complain about,” says Charb, whose magazine caused stirs several times after publishing Mohammed cartoons.
As for criticism that will surely be voiced regarding the fact that depicting the prophet is blasphemous, Charb replies that “it’s just the tradition, it is absolutely not found in the Qur’an. Insofar as Mohammed is not ridiculed, I do not see why one could not read this publication as one read the stories of the life of Jesus in the Catechism.”
“Muslims are willing to laugh at themselves”
In November 2011, after the publication of a special issue of the magazine named “Sharia Hebdo” which containing caricatures of Muhammad, the headquarters of the satirical newspaper were burned, its website hacked, and Charb received death threats. Since then, he lives under police protection. More recently, new cartoons published by the magazine Charlie Hebdo had sparked strong criticism by part of many Muslim countries to the point that the French government had to take steps.
Although this time the approach is quite different, Charb expects that he will not please everyone. “If people want to be shocked, they will be shocked, but this will not be done in order to shock. Muslims are also willing to laugh at themselves. If we begin to think of them as people handicapped in their capacity to laugh , then one cannot link them with a peaceful Islam, but with an extreme one. One should stop being being afraid of Islam, (because) the more you fear Islam, the more scary Islam will be “, he says. He thinks that “it would be a good idea to bring it to the schools, even Muslim children can read it in that they accept that Muhammad is represented (in the cartoons)”.
French government cuts immigrants welfare by 83%
EU Times:
H/T Bains:
It seems that migration policies of a leading country in Europe, France, are seriously changing. The country is no longer able to hold back the crowd of migrants, many of whom do not want to integrate into the social and economic life of their new home country. The upcoming radical changes for migrants were announced by French Interior Minister Manuel Valls.
After a meeting on the National Immigration and Integration, French Interior Minister Manuel Valls announced significant changes in the country’s migration policy. The government will reduce financial assistance to immigrants, and this reduction will be substantial. Starting March 1 of next year, French immigrant benefits will be reduced by 83 percent. The amount of compensation to immigrants who voluntarily want to return home will be also reduced. If earlier the government paid 300 euros for every adult and 100 euros for every minor, in March of 2013 these amounts will be reduced to 50 and 30 euros, respectively.
France Experiencing Dramatic Rise in Crime
Front Page Mag:
Remember the first year of Obama?
France is now experiencing its first year of Hollande and having your country by an incompetent Socialist with no skills except raising taxes and spending money, secure in the knowledge that his base will always turn out for him, does not do good things to the morale of a nation.
The month of November 2012 registered 15,000 more victims than the same month last year (295,000 reported incidents compared with 280,000 in November 2011).
A closer look reveals that thefts in principal and secondary residences, always a priority, exploded by 17.2% (more than 24,000 incidents), break-ins of businesses by 12.7% (almost 6000 incidents).
First They Came for Santa Claus…

Gates of Vienna:
A kindergarten in France has cancelled its annual visit from Santa Claus. School administrators say tight finances are to blame, but parents don’t believe them. They’re certain that the exclusion of Santa is an attempt to placate Muslims, and they’re up in arms about the decision.

Kindergarten children in Loiret deprived of visit by Father Christmas
This is a story that keeps the mood boiling at a kindergarten in Montargis-Loiret. With the holiday season approaching, the headmistress decided to cancel the ritual visit of Father Christmas to the classrooms. Official reason: financial problems. Stunned parents charge that it was instead on religious grounds.
The headmistress gave in?
For some parents with children in the Grand Clos kindergarten, there is no doubt that the reason for the cancellation of the visit of the white-bearded man in the red suit is of a “religious” kind. A mother declared on Wednesday in Le Parisien — Today in France that: “The director told me she did not want her wrist to be slapped by some Muslim families,” she said.
The problem was confirmed by the Deputy Mayor of Montargis, who is responsible for matters concerning children. He adds that “each year, families threaten to boycott the school in the day of Santa’s visit.” The director gave in. For some, “this is too much.” It is, according to them, the “Islamization of a school.”
Talk to Al Jazeera – Marine Le Pen: The threat of radical Islam

Multiculturalism, PC, Islam, France, and large corporations
This is quite an interesting little video. I hope this gives other employees of large companies to begin speaking out. I have personally spoken to, for one example, teachers in Ontario public schools who once they realize you will not be calling the cops on them, tell you horror story after horror story about Islam in today’s schools. These are people who typically think of themselves as left of center and very pro ‘multicultural’.
If enough people begin speaking out, well that is step one. But more importantly, humans like pretty much all living sentient creatures have to re do a central bit of personal calculous. The question of the cost of doing something Vs. the cost of not doing so.
Be advised:
The cost of inaction with respect to Islam in the West is incalculably large. Whatever one perceives as the cost of doing something, anything, speaking out, writing a letter to a newspaper or government agency, anything, it is lower than allowing all traces of individual liberty and self determination to perish and sharia determine your full set of possibilities.
Sound extreme?
Let’s ask the Egyptians.
