French Police: Muslims are Waging "Intifada" against Us

Remember those pesky little French riots last fall? You know, the ones led by young Muslims from North and sub-Saharan Africa whom the liberal media referred to simply as "Arab and African youths?" Well, it seems that nearly a year later, the merry French jihadists are still busy at work. Here's more from, The Telegraph:

Radical Muslims in France's housing estates are waging an undeclared "intifada" against the police, with violent clashes injuring an average of 14 officers each day.

Interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy was warned of an 'intifada'

As the interior ministry said that nearly 2,500 officers had been wounded this year, a police union declared that its members were "in a state of civil war" with Muslims in the most depressed "banlieue" estates which are heavily populated by unemployed youths of north African origin.

It said the situation was so grave that it had asked the government to provide police with armoured cars to protect officers in the estates, which are becoming no-go zones.

The number of attacks has risen by a third in two years. Police representatives told the newspaper Le Figaro that the "taboo" of attacking officers on patrol has been broken.

Instead, officers – especially those patrolling in pairs or small groups – faced attacks as soon as they tried to arrest locals.

Ah yes, they're simply "unemployed youths of north African origin." Repeat after me, Western media: "this has nothing to do with Islam..."
