In France, nothing says ‘Happy New Year’ like the annual Muslim tradition of torching as many cars as possible in the streets of Paris. In some years, it’s been well over 1,000 cars.
For several years now, French media have been banning stories, videos, and photos of the annual New Year’s Eve car torchings by Muslims in the suburbs of Paris. Considering how upset Muslims are with President Emmanuel Macron due to his approval of the publishing of cartoons of the prophet Mohammed as expressions of free speech, there could be many more car arsons this year than in the recent past. If I can find the tally, I’ll let you know in a few days.
More than 100,000 law enforcement officers will be mobilized across France tonight in anticipation of the expected car torching and unrest that is habitually seen in the country on New Year’s Eve. Cases of arson – mainly of cars, but sometimes of buildings – are reported every year in France on December 31, as – as a Time magazine article from 2009 put it – “a regular form of expression for disenfranchised MUSLIM suburban youths wanting to make sure the rest of the country doesn’t forget they exist”.
The Local Every New Year’s Eve nervous car owners across France cross their fingers in the hope they can start the New Year with their vehicle intact. That’s because of a longstanding French tradition that sees “youths” in certain parts of cities (Muslims from urban ghettos) torching scores of cars.
The number of vehicles set alight on the night of December 31st 2018 climbed to 1,031 compared to 935 the previous New Year’s Eve, while arrests rose from 456 to 510, the interior ministry said on Monday.
New Year’s Eve is the most popular occasions for Muslim car burnings, but closely behind are July and August, particularly on Bastille Day on July 14th when Muslim youths mark the annual fête nationale with their own firework shows.
Nevertheless stats released last year by France’s official crime data agency ONDRP reveal that the number of cars burned each year has fallen by 20 percent since 2010. That was the good news for car owners and insurance firms. The bad news is that tens of thousands of vehicles are still burned across the country.
The main reason for the fall according to the ONDRP is that the media take less interest now in the mass burning of cars, which means there may be less of a thrill for the arsonists.
Authorities have previously refrained from reporting on the number of torched cars on New Year’s Eve after it was discovered that a district-by-district breakdown was fuelling destructive competition between rival Muslim gangs.
Added to that is that extra police are regularly deployed in sensitive areas on specific nights of the year to try to prevent the blazes.
The stats also showed that the departments most affected by the phenomenon were Haute-Corse in Corsica, Isere to the south east which includes Grenoble, and Oise, to the north of Paris.
The car owners most affected are generally in the more hard-up neighborhoods.
The custom of setting vehicles alight on New Year’s Eve reportedly began in the east of the country, around Strasbourg, in the 1990s, in the the city’s poorer neighbourhoods. It was then quickly adopted by Muslim youths in cities across the country.
In 2017, French authorities were accused of a cover-up after claiming New Year’s Eve “went off without any major incident” despite more than 1,000 cars being torched in arson attacks.
Cars are often set ablaze whenever there is an outbreak of social disorder, as seen in the 2005 riots when hundreds of vehicles were torched. The ONDRP’s Christophe Schulz told Le Parisien newspaper that there are diverse reasons that Muslim youths burn cars.
“Vehicle fires are often associated with a context of riots and urban violence. It can also be a ‘game’ to break the monotony, or it could be motivated by vengeance after a violent arrest. Or it could just be to get rid of a car used in a crime or as an insurance scam.”
So while car owners might welcome the fall, they still face a few sleepless nights this summer and of course, New Year’s Eve.
It turned out quite well. Not that many cars were torched. I would say about 100 cars, quite a few garbage bins, one firetruck. There were curfews in place in most of France last night.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
We are living in interesting and exceptional times. The stuff of history in the making.
Just did a post about that.
Happy New Year.
Same to you …
Happy New Year from behind enemy lines (California) Ha ha!
You and me, both.
Happy New Year to all at BNI
Thanks, Sue.
The joyous “fete francaise” of “Mettez-en-Feu-les-Voitures” is actually a new celebration that has been imported into France with its mudlim immigrants to mark and register their complete rejection of any new national affiliation or cultural affinity with their host country. Its burning-bright & violent declaration expresses the mudlims utter rejection of French society, heritage, culture and democratic tradition. Its expresses mudlims’ embrace of transformation of France into a new islamic land with the its own traditions of female degradation (arranged & forced marriage, FGM, honor killings), intolerance (dhimmitude of non-muslims) , vengeful recompense (instead of justice), authoritarianism (theocratic, fascistic & non-democratic), animal cruelty (halal with savage slaughter) and personal deflection of moral responsibillty (“sharia made me do it”).
It’s not the fault of the French people (whose civilization brought the world Montesquieu, Victor Hugo, Descartes, Richelieu, and artists and composers galore). Rather it is the fault of the same element that afflicts all modern Western societies and polities, namely, the entrenched bureaucratic elites who have partnered with media moguls, lords of the social platforms and yes, the PRC, too. These bellow the rhetoric of the SJWs while thinking this patronization will immunize them against revolution. Under this banner they betray their nations.
But a day of reckoning is coming. We all sense it. We all see it. The hard-working men & women who labor and live by a meagre margin can only be taxed so much, can only be pushed so far. Tolerance ought not be confused with suicidal ideations. And when that fire starts, the elites will get what they deserve for their abandonment of their nations and mockery of its citizens. Well, anyway, for now, Happy New Year to all.
HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone!
Happy New Year to you Linda. My best wishes for you and the UK this new year.
Quran (3:151) – “Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers…
Patriotic nations’ leaders who possessed any goodness, decency and ethics would never colonize their nations with Barbarian Warlord Mohammad’s devout followers.
The EU and European God hater leaders heavily colonized Britain and Europe with the Armies of Islam so that Muslims can TERRORIZE and perpetrate FIRE JIHAD of cars and forests, vehicle jihad and all kinds of jihad.
And perpetrate constant Muslim terror attacks on intensely hated white European Jews and Christians.
Highly Favoured Muslims are allowed to commit many violent crimes on non Muslims and are not punished. Muslims are paid with permanent welfare to perpetrate great wickedness on non Muslim innocents.
From what the Bible teaches, it appears that on Judgment Day our Wonderful European military who drove out the never ending hordes of cruel Muslim sex slavers out of Europe and our wonderful Marines who fought against Muslims who kidnapped our people — these heroes will condemn today’s Western leaders for their great evil.
Have the French people lost their minds. If they are not going to deport these Muslim scum then declare martial law two day before each holiday they have a car burning party on. Station a huge military presence in the problem areas and shoot looters on sight. While they are at it demolish one mosque and one Islamic school for every car burned.
I have a feeling that I read somewhere that the car burning happens every Friday after they finish bumping their heads to the Stone Moon god Allah!
Why can’t the Police have a presence out side of every Mosque?
I love your last sentence, re demolishing one mosque and one islamic school for each car burned. Brilliant, teach the savages that there are consequences to their actions.
I have a better idea.
I wonder what would be the result if the tradition was turned on it’s head and the indigenous population went burning down mosques instead …
Happy New Year to all at BNI and to it’s readers everywhere!
And as an added bonus during the festivities, if you report you see Muslims torching cars, YOU’LL probably be the one who gets arrested.
To Bonni and all here at BNI—-wishing you a Hapoy, Healthy, and Prosperous (better) 2021.
Happy New Year to everyone in this site. Been here for 6 years and plan to stay for many years to come. Special thanks to Bonnie for keeping us up to date. My best wishes for good health and prosperity to you all.
Happy New Year to you!
And yet France like the rest of Europe has disarmed their people making them incapable of defending themselves and their property but surly enabling the Muslim destruction. Rhetorically I wonder how many Muslims would attempt to touch a car knowing the owner and/or neighbors would shoot them dead?
On a positive note…
Wishing all people associated with BNI a very Happy New Year! 🎉🎊🎈🪁 🍾🥂 🎶 🎇 🎆
Happy New Year to you, Greek, Bonni, Linda, everyone!
Instead of the cars, torch the Muslum ghettos, etc. More productive.
Now you’re talkin’.
