    I don't think it was a DP...unless the server is changing words in posts now.

      I see that Guardian has responsibly been following the official lexicon and used the proper term "youths". Thank god media and government have slowly merged in our lovely EU, for now they are responsibly keeping racist islamophobia out of the minds of hysterical people, who naturally are too stupid to be trusted with unfiltered reality

        I think most DPs are the result of people intentionally submitting two posts because they erroneously think the server hasn't posted the first one.

        The other possibility is that he meant to edit his post but accidentally replied instead.

        Uh. These riots seem pretty dumb. Why can't France control its populace?

            Why is being considered Islamophobia even a bad thing? I think many people around the world are justified in fearing muslims.

            I assume the rioters were muslims but the article isn't too specific about who's involved.

                Hopefully Sarkozy will have them all shot and claim he solved the issue.

                    Not sure if this has anything to do with religion, folks.

                      I never really understood burning and destroying your neighborhood as a political statement. (I'm mad as hell and I'm going to burn down my home!) Go destroy another neighborhood if you want to make a political point.

                        Well, we all know Muslims are just violent people in general. So even if it has nothing to do with them being Muslims, they're still going to be violent. Yep. That's what them Muslims do. Be violent.

                          The Times correspondant there is the first account I've seen so far from someone who actually knows the area and has been talking to local people. From his description it sounds like a reaction to poor policing of immigrant areas.

                            Well duh. Were not we told last time that such areas are No-go by mutual consent.

                              At least riot for a good reason, and not because some teenagers were stupid and ran into some policemen...
