Is Paris Burning?
Hitler couldn't do it, but radical Islam is!
AUBERVILLIERS, France - Marauding youths set fire to cars, warehouses and a nursery school and pelted rescuers with rocks early Saturday, as the worst rioting in a decade spread from Paris to other French cities. The U.S. warned Americans against taking trains to the airport via strife-torn areas.
A savage assault on a bus passenger highlighted the dangers of travel in Paris' impoverished outlying neighborhoods, where the violence has entered its second week.
Attackers doused the woman, in her 50s and on crutches, with an inflammable liquid and set her afire as she tried to get off a bus in the suburb of Sevran Wednesday, judicial officials said. The bus had been forced to stop because of burning objects in its path. She was rescued by the driver and hospitalized with severe burns.

Wow, setting 50 year-old women on crutches on fire. How civilized!
And it is spreading!
PARIS - Eleven cars were torched inside the city of Paris early Saturday as urban unrest spread from the northeast suburbs, a police official said.
The violence reached across France, extending south to resort cities on the Mediterranean.
By 1 a.m., at least 546 vehicles were burned - 11 of them inside Paris, said Patrick Hamon, spokesman for the national police. The overall figures were expected to climb by daybreak, he added.
