Violence stems from mass immigration from Northern Africa

From Eric Dondero:

According to LaDepeche.Fr (Times) the final number of vehicles burned across France on New Year's eve totalled 1,137.

The number of burnings in Paris itself seems to have decreased, while in the "banlieues" (outskirts of the city), and other French cities, the number has held steady or increased.

Straussbourg, for instance, is seen as "hotbed for Muslim activity," with a North African immigrant population of nearly 20%. The eastern French city saw an increase in car burnings and overall violence. (Source - Blogger Dinah Lord)

USAToday reports:

Car burnings have become common in poor suburbs that ring France's big cities, such as protests last summer shown in the photo above.

But fails to identify the culprits as mostly Muslim immigrants from North Africa (Algieria, Tunisia, Morocco).

The French press is more explicit.

From NovoPress - France, Dec. 31:

The Services Department of General Information (SDIG) have listed the areas where the outburts may be particularly violent. Coincidentally, these hot spots are areas of multi-ethnic cities in Corbeil, Argenteuil, Trappes, Chanteloup-les-Vignes, Mulhouse, Strasbourg, etc.. Burning cars, defacement of public property, aggressiveness towards the French people, is particular to New Year's Eve ... this phenomenon dates back two decades.

It is registered in the logic of attacking some of the symbols of France and moments of celebration of the French people: La Marseillaise, the national holiday, the feast of music, etc.. A clash of cultures directly related to mass immigration from outside Europe in France.
