"Religion of Peace" Burning Paris and Toulouse


The "religion of peace" is once again burning Paris and Toulouse. According to the AP:

Ten officers were injured by buckshot and pellets at the peak of violence Monday, national police have said. Police unions said about 30 officers were hurt. Prosecutors said they had opened a preliminary inquiry for attempted homicide in the cases.

Though still tense, Tuesday night was quieter than previous nights. National police said a few officers were lightly injured.

Patrice Ribeiro of the Synergie police union put the figure at 20 — down from more than 80 the night before. Youths lobbed Molotov cocktails and stones at police in Villiers-le-Bel but no firearms were used Tuesday, he said.

About 138 cars around France were burned overnight, which Ribeiro called almost "normal." Police say as many as 100 cars are burned every night around the country.
