The people participating in these riots are over-sensitive whiny fucks.
How can you blame police when the kids died because they climbed into high voltage lines? zoomj, is it the polices fault if I crash my car while evading arrest in a high speed chase? Fucking retarded.
Knowing France, these kids were lucky that (if the cops were chasing them, and there's some suggestion that they *weren't*) the cops didn't shoot them in the backs of the legs as they ran. They don't carry those SMGs around for nothing.

They kind of do, but it's like three pages down, and only says "an area of mass immigration and modest income".
I kind of doubted that the french would do this, it turns out it's the muslims (probably).

The Wikipedia article cited in the OP has a livid discussion page. Here's my favorite quote from it, by someone who has been removing any reference to Muslims or Islam from the article:
"Anyone who puts Muslim, and any religious inflection in this article is detracting from a neutral point of view. This is a problem with some kids, and not a race or religious riot Artoftransformaiton} 21:47, 1 November 2005"
Of course! How obvious it is that there is no racial, ethnic, or religious component to this 7-day long riot!
Some liberals are so fucking stupid it's laughable.

I don't think the Iraqi insurrection has anything to do with religion. Some of them are pulling religious strings, but in the end that's just a symptom of the real cause: as a group they don't want the US there.
Last I checked, the Vietnamese aren't muslim.

They were idealouges however. Without crazy ideologies to guide them to fight, they wouldn't.

I dunno about that. Were the Americans fighting against their British masters a bunch of lunatics? No, they just wanted the British gone.

Really though, we've indicated that our being there is a temporary condition. They're fighting because they're pissed off that we came there, or that our being there presents an opportunity for jihad. Most populations attack those who are there to stay, not people who are just visiting.

Even if that's true, they still are going to use islam to justify it. Besides, the revolution was a little different, it was over taxation without representation. If they weren't taxed, or if they were represented, they might not have rebelled...

Mostly this is just failure on the part of Islamics. They really can't get along with anyone, not even themselves.
islam is 600 years younger than christianity, so it's still a relatively young monothiestic religion -
what was christianity like 600 years ago? burning witches, inquisition etc etc. Also islam has more violent roots than christianity in that there was more hostility towards it at its beginning.
also 600 years ago we didn't have things such as a mass media, properganda etc those all contribute to hate thought, as does christianities dominance of the world.

Except the Arabs weren't always such faggots. They used to be the enlightened scholars while Europe was still figuring out that rats are bad for your health.
A lot of our knowledge of the ancients survived thanks to them. So, what happened? Why the recent stupidity?

Oil explains the current conflict. It doesn't explain why they're all poor fuckers who can't read.
If they continued the trend of centuries ago, they'd have been a first-world power filled with educated people. Instead they only know how to issues fatwahs.

Being lazy has been a status symbol for people in that region for about 100 years. Men would try to outdo eachother at the dinner table with claims of laziness. They were furious when the Jews set up kibutzes and transformed a shithole into the gem of the region.
Actually it was the Syrians you are thinking of. There is a reason the worst insult you can say to a Syrian is to call him an Arab.

To be honest, the most common factor in all the rioters are that they are poor, so the wise choice would be to kick out all the poor people.
Fuck poor people and their "rights", since we are rich we have the right to step on them. Lazy fucks that can't make a dollar.

Your perspective on the situation is the view from a horse's ass. Sure, it's a common factor, but among rich people who aren't participating, who condones their behavior? The Muslims.
You just want to believe that all religions can be all loving and caring and respectful with each other, and you don't care how blind you make yourself to the facts.
Why the hell do we tiptoe around people's cultural heritage?

Good question. We are by far too accepting to religion now a days, this is supposed to be the 21st century.
Send the religous people to Australia or something, let them fight among themselves.

Yes, we are far too accepting of people's religion; expecially when the people who practice said religion are pressured by others to do things such as stoning, female circumsicion, not to mention Jihad. I don't have any affection for ANY religion, but in the case of Christianity, at least it doesn't cause major problems for those non-christians who live in a nation of those who practise it.
And you can't deny that armed clashes occur everywhere Islam borders with another religion. The whole bloody border of islam thing. Please don't believe that poverty is the only factor here, that's short sighted and naive.

I agree that poverty is not the only reason, but people ( mostly Americans ) assume it's because religion when in most cases it is really not.
