The Voice From the Burning Bus

Old Testament fans will remember the story of how Moses was called to lead his people out of Egypt after hearing a voice from a burning bush. In a modern day equivilent, Allah is apparently calling to his people in Paris in a voice from the burning bus (h/t LGF):

Youths forced passengers off three buses and set them on fire overnight in suburban Paris, raising tensions Thursday ahead of the first anniversary of the riots that engulfed France’s rundown, heavily immigrant neighborhoods.

No injuries were reported, but worried bus drivers refused to enter some suburbs after dark, and the prime minister urged a swift, stern response.

The riots in October 2005 raged through housing projects in suburbs nationwide, springing in part from anger over entrenched discrimination against immigrants and their French-born children, many of them Muslims from former French colonies in Africa. Despite an influx of funds and promises, disenchantment still thrives in those communities.

So far it's taken four buses, but it seems that they're starting to pay attention and will soon lead their people from the democracy of France to the new Islamic republic of Francistan.
