Muslim Punk Jihad in Grenoble

The imprimatur of an Islamic cleric:

Officials said the rioters also torched shops and attacked a streetcar (tramway) line. Police said some rioters also shot at officers and that they returned fire.

The French newspaper Le Monde says the youths started their rampage after hearing a Muslim imam give a ceremony for an alleged robber, who died Thursday night after being chased by police and exchanging gunfire.(VOA)

UPDATE: The police were fired on by automatic gunfire, a fact that strangely was only reported on by al jazeera.

From Atlas reader the cat:

We are not too familiar with automatic gunfire in Europe this is a new reality for us. Youth's torched at least 50 cars and two shops
