Muslims riot against secularism in France, garbage dumpsters hurt but no fatalities reported

TRAPPES, France (AP) — About 250 people hurling projectiles clashed with police firing tear gas west of Paris, in apparent protest over enforcement of France's ban on Islamic face veils. Five people were injured and six detained in the violence, authorities said Saturday.

The interior minister urged calm and dialogue, insisting on both the need for public order and respect for France's Muslims. The incident in the town of Trappes on Friday night reflected sporadic tensions between police upholding France's strict policies of secularism and those who accuse authorities of discriminating against France's No. 2 religion.

A few garbage dumpsters in the area were torched and a bus shelter shattered in the Trappes unrest.

Should the French government just go ahead and surrender? We all know they will eventually.

That took longer than I would have thought.

Stop trying to bait me - lol

There is a big problem in Paris with the creation of Islamic ghettos , so to speak. Do the Muslims want to integrate? And if they do, are they being ostracized by French Catholics? Difficult times ahead.

Does it matter if Jacque67 is french or not?

Sometimes, people post the country flag to show where their immigration interviews are taking place, not to show their country of birth or origin.
