From France to Australia

The riots are spreading, only this time it isn't underclass Muslim immigrants protesting their living conditions, but up to 5,000 white Australians assaulting people they perceived to be of Arabic origin.

It had to happen eventually.

Yeah, its idiotic. On both sides, though I'd point out that its particularly idiotic in a practical sense for the immigrants, as they're not exactly in a position of power here. (Tangential comment more or less unrelated to this news:) I sometimes wonder if the Islamists aren't getting a bit ahead of themselves -- if they're conviction that allah is on their side is leading to them trying to spark a holy war long before their side has the strength to win it (I have little doubt that if, tomorrow, it came to a war between the Islamic world and the ex-Christian world, it would be a certain (if a bit bloody) victory for the West; yes, they might trash our economies by depriving us of oil, but I suspect have enough oil to fuel enough weapons to wipe their societies off the face of the earth) -- I also suppose I should note before one of your less coherent visitors comes by and attacks my racism that I in no way would welcome such a conflict)
