French Government Wants to Close Down Progressive Internet News Journal, 'Barry's Blogs'

Paris - Two teenage boys were placed under investigation on Tuesday for inciting violence by using their blogs to urge others to join the rioting that is raging in the country, judicial officials said.

The two, a French national aged 16 and an 18-year-old Ghanaian national come from the Seine-Saint-Denis region northeast of Paris where the violence first broke out on October 27.

They have been placed under judicial investigation, the first step to formal charges, for "provoking wilful damage to property that poses a danger to people, via the internet".

Is this what you call "progressive"?

Any site that's inciting and planning violence should be shutdown IMHO.

Late on the afternoon of November 9th, within the measures taken by de Villepin (but obviously not made public), the Emeraude plan was deployed: it makes it possible to divert the whole of French internet traffic through military servers equipped with filters which block certain sites. Several methods were used: blocking IP addresses at the point of the routers. At Wanadoo, only domain name servers (DNS numbers) were filtered. At Cegetel, HTTP addresses HTTP were blocked, and so forth.

The majority of blocked sites and blogs weren’t the great many Muslim attack sites or the Islamists sites that were quite active (such as Oumma, Majlis, and the like) but the most active nationalist sites like Occidentalis, SOSfrance, Coranix and France-Echos.

Gee Ace, now there is some Serious Hatred coming from you.

Do you Live in Europe at all, so that you could have a Reason to be angry?

Or are you just spreading Hatred across the North Atlantic?

No I don't live in Europe but I have family that does.
I am descended from Europeans and would like to return there some day so I care what happens there.

BTW, do you live in Iraq?
If not, is there a reason for you to be angry about what happens there?

Well then you must know the French History and the History of Past European Empires and their Legacy that we see Today. Thank them, instead of doing the easiest thing possible: putting the Entire Blame on the Muslims, AGAIN.

Perhaps if they had not taken Europeans as slaves to Algiers, Tunis and Morocco the French and other Europeans would not have been so motivated to finally defeat them and rule over them.

I'd like to know why this issue of enslavement of Europeans isn't discussed more often. They make it seem as though the Europeans were the ones who developed the African slave trade and were the only ones involved in taking slaves.

The general perception is also that Europeans were the only colonizers even though the muslims colonized Africa and Asia before the French and the British ever did.

Lets count Islamic Empires and European Empire, and see who WINS.

Some of the descendants of African traders are alive today. Mohammed Ibrahim Babatu is the great great grandson of Baba-ato (also known as Babatu), the famous Muslim slave trader, who was born in Niger and conducted his slave raids in Northern Ghana in the 1880's.
