It’s true that the nationwide protests in France began with students demanding that more government money be allocated to education — to hiring more teachers, fixing crumbling school buildings — but quickly joining those protests were “boys from the banlieues,” that is, Muslims from the suburbs, who quickly became the most violent protesters, the “casseurs” (“breakers”) intent on smashing and looting shops, setting fire to police cars, and torching city halls.
These Muslims were not interested in the state of the schools; they wanted both to steal as much stuff as they could under cover of the protests, and in a show of force, to face down the forces of order. Some people have insisted on denying that Muslims played an important role in the protests. Now we have evidence of their overwhelming presence among the most violent protesters — the ones whom the. police have been arresting. More on that evidence — the preponderance of Muslim names among those arrested — can be found here: “75 Per Cent of French Riot Court Sample Had Arabic–Muslim or African First Names,” by Joakim Scheffer, Hungarian Conservative, November 6, 2026:

Three-quarters of a sample of suspects brought before French courts following last month’s mass riots bore Arabic–Muslim or African-origin first names, according to an analysis by leading pollster Jérôme Fourquet.
The finding points to mounting indications of significant immigrant-background involvement in the looting and violence that, with the help of the far left, turned France’s protests over education and living costs into weeks of urban chaos.
Fourquet, director of the opinion department at polling institute Ifop, examined national and local newspaper accounts of expedited court hearings following the 17 October riots. Of the 70 cases in which sufficient biographical information was available, 75 per cent had first names he classified as Arabic–Muslim or African in origin. He described the result as showing ‘very strong overrepresentation’.
Similar concerns had already emerged in neighbouring Italy and Germany. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said around half of the 330 people stopped or arrested during October’s riots were of immigrant background. In Frankfurt, Hesse Interior Minister Roman Poseck described the groups involved in looting on 31 October as predominantly migrant in character.
The French findings have also exposed a growing split within the political establishment. Former prime minister and 2027 presidential contender Édouard Philippe said on 1 November that footage of the pillaging showed significant numbers of young French citizens of immigrant background. Far-left presidential candidate and one of the main political forces behind the riots, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, condemned his remarks as racist, while Republican leader Bruno Retailleau cited Fourquet’s research in support….
Jean-Luc Mélenchon has to be continually reminded that Islam is not a race.
The alliance between the hard-left of La France Insoumise and the Muslims, should now be clear. Édouard-Philippe, a former prime minister and a likely presidential candidate in 2027, saw the videos of the riots and concluded that the scenes of pillaging showed significant numbers of young French citizens of immigrant — i.e., Muslim — background. And most convincing of all, Jérôme Fourquet’s analysis of the names of a sample population of arrested rioters showed that 75 percent were of Arab-Muslim or African [mostly Muslim] background. No one can now deny the central role of the Muslims as the chief “casseurs,” who have used the student riots as a cover for their looting, destruction of property, and their violent attacks on the police.

The surprise here is that they have actually been arrested. And what was done with them after the arrests? Are the authorities slamming doors or slapping wrists?
Sentinel says
Slapping wrist. I know I lived in for 8 years. The French are terrified of the Muslims and the Muslims know it. You can’t show fear, fear will kill you,

No surprise here. From 2000-2007; I lived in France in the Lore Valley. 3 years before l left, the Muslim youths were protesting, burning cars and rioting for there parents demanding more welfare money. They didn’t stop until they got it. Muslims were moving into small villages running for mayor positions and populating the villages with their families. One village market was bought by a Muslim and made it halal; the villagers could not buy wine or pork products. The French villagers had to drive an hour or take the bus to the next town market. Most of the villagers were elderly in age. Doesn’t this warm your heart. We are next.

I hear you. We did not come prepared and didn’t know how to call the police, we were not good with the cell phone.
They told her in English something like “just leave it alone, we have too many of them here”. What does that tell me? It told me that many crimes are not being logged in or reported. Maybe the jails are full and maybe the police don’t want these real statistics out in France.
She never got her purse back. Maybe I’m a conspiracist but Muslims worked the airport and maybe they told these migrants where our hotel was. We had to report our large sum of cash. They got the purse so quickly. Only the airport knew of our cash.
We felt like it was too perfect. I think it’s called smash and grab. The second we departed the door, they hit her and grab the purse. Amazing the police did not want to her an assault and theft. These were Arabs. But BE AWARE OF THE GYPSYS!!

Here in America, we have over 3,000 Mosques. Every state we have Muslims and growing. You don’t think the Muslims in Congress/Senate will push for Sharia Law?
Stand your ground America and don’t budge. Our enemy is inside the gate. Lock and load/ stand by.

Apparently many Churches have been attacked or vandalised during these recent riots in France. But French authorities and Church officials have not released an exact total number of them. Why haven’t they told us how many?
On the other hand, not one single mosque has been targeted, that we do know.
somehistory says
John, the only way the muzzie barracks will be attacked would be if there are enough of one sect to oppose those of the others sects. But they’ll concentrate of the Christians before then.
John Smith says
Sommehistory it’s pretty obvious the muzzies are playing a big part in these riots, and this is only the start, it’s going to get much worse..
