Car torchers in France fail to set a record.....

Well, they came close...
Youths burned 1,137 cars across France overnight as New Year's Eve celebrations once again turned violent, the French Interior Ministry said today.

Car burnings are regular occurrences in poor suburbs that ring France's big cities, but the arson is especially prevalent during New Year's Eve revelry.

The number of vehicles torched was only 10 short of the record 1,147 burned this time last year, even though the Interior Ministry mobilised 45,000 police during the night -- 10,000 more than 12 months ago.

It said police detained 549 people overnight, compared with 288 in 2009 New Year celebrations. However, unlike in previous years, there were no direct clashes between police and youths. "The few disturbances that did take place were brought swiftly under control," the ministry said in a statement.
Of course, the newspaper report only refers to 'youths'....but I think we know who was responsible...

"Car torchers", is that the new name for Muslim youth. There are so many names that are becoming synonymous with Muslims that it is hard to keep track of them all.
