July 1 (UPI) -- More than 1,300 people were arrested and 79 police officers were injured overnight Saturday as anti-racism protests surged across France for a fourth consecutive night.
The French Interior Ministry said 45,000 police and gendarmes backed by light armored vehicles were mobilized across the country as France reeled from the fallout of over the shooting death of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk, who was killed by police during a traffic stop in a Paris suburb on Tuesday.
Authorities said the French National Police and the Paris Police Prefecture were also mobilized overnight to "maintain and restore republican order" and to counter offenses and disturbances.
President Emmanuel Macron postponed a planned state visit to Germany scheduled for Sunday to deal with the continuing violence, his office announced.
The government's inter-ministerial crisis unit met again early Saturday to assess the level of damage during the fourth night of riots, which Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin characterized as less intense than previous evenings during an appearance with police in Mantes-la-Jolie, about 35 miles west Paris.
Local officials, however, reported "unprecedented" waves of looting and violence in cities across the country overnight, including in Lyon, where Mayor Grégory Doucet appealed for police reinforcements to aid local gendarmes who were "overwhelmed" by the scale of the rioting.
As mentioned in my previous report on this - Islam - Current Day > Islam's Explosive Character Revealed in France; Muslims are hair-trigger sensitive to hysteria and mob violence. See also - Farkhunda, Martyr to Islamic Madness, the Rest of the Story.
It is clear that France does not have control over Islamic madness and it is certain that things will only get worse as the Muslim population in France increases.
Doucet said mobile bands of young people on foot, bicycles and scooters had attacked and looted 40 shops in the city and had burned 20 vehicles.
Official buildings were also targeted by attackers in the latest wave of rioting, including city halls in the northern cities of Lens and Oise.
The latest rioting came ahead of funeral services for Nahel, which got underway in the Paris suburb of Nanterre on Saturday.
Hundreds of mourners chanting and crying followed the body of Nahel from a mosque to the Mont-Valérien cemetery in Nanterre, where he will be laid to rest, Britain's Independent reported.
France: Muslim rioters attack LGBT bar,
‘We burn the whores, by the Qur’an’

The Leftist/Islamic alliance is playing out in France, with Antifa militants aiding Muslim migrants in the riots, but the Leftists don’t know what they’re dealing with.
‘We burn the PDs’: in Brest, the Happy Café identified as a target by rioters
Translated from “« On brûle les PD » : à Brest, le Happy Café identifié comme cible par des émeutiers,” by Pierre Chapin, Le Telegramme, July 1, 2023
The LGBT bar “Happy Café” closed its doors hastily on Friday evening in Brest. He had been identified as a priority target by some rioters on social networks.
“I received around 50 phone calls and messages around 10:15 p.m. From people who had infiltrated certain social networks used by the rioters, and who were telling me to be careful. When I saw what it was about, I said to myself that it was not possible to see that, in 2023.”
France: Rioters threaten Jews with new Holocaust

France rioters threaten ‘Holocaust,'
Translated from “Frankreich-Randalierer drohen mit „Holocaust“,”
by Til Biermann, Bild, June 30, 2023
Paris – They hate the police. They despise the state. And quite obviously some of the young rioters in France also hate Jewish people.
After the death of 17-year-old Nahel M., who was shot by a police officer, chaotic groups in the Paris suburb of Nanterre sprayed hateful slogans on a Holocaust memorial. On a video you can see that someone scrawled the words “F*** the police – dog gang – we will give you a shoah” on the memorial. Like “Holocaust,” the “Shoah” is a term for the murder of six million Jews during the Nazi era.
Under the motto of the memorial “For the martyrs of deportation” someone sprayed “police mob.” Next to it is “F*** le 17”, the title of a rap song in which the police are badly incited. In France, dial 17 to reach the Gendarmerie.
Another video posted to Twitter also shows a man attempting to light a French flag in front of the memorial.
Many observers are shocked that the rioters, many of them apparently with a Muslim background, chose a location for their vandalism that is supposed to commemorate the victims of the murder of the Jews. The European Jewish Congress tweeted: “It is truly horrific to see the memorial to the martyrs of the deportations in Nanterre vandalized. This is a shameless act that does not respect the memory of the victims of the Holocaust. He must be fully condemned and those responsible must be held accountable.”

Father Francis Palle beaten up and left unconscious
Translated from “Le Père Francis Palle tabassé et laissé inconscient,”
by Marie Delorme, Tribune Chretienne, June 30, 2023:
Father Francis Palle, 80 years old and member of the congregation of Saint Vincent de Paul in Saint-Étienne, was brutally attacked by rioters. The events unfolded on Friday, June 30, leaving Father Palle seriously injured and unconscious.
According to eyewitnesses, a group of rioters suddenly attacked Father Palle, surrounding and targeting him for no apparent reason. They hit him with extreme force, knocking him hard to the ground. Worse still, these individuals continued to beat him when he was already on the ground, leaving the priest in critical condition.
In addition to this brutal attack, the attackers also committed a theft by taking Father Palle’s mobile phone and wallet.
Local authorities were quickly alerted and dispatched an emergency team to the scene. Father Palle was immediately taken to the nearest hospital, where he is currently receiving intensive care for his serious injuries.
This brutal attack sparked outrage and dismay within the local community and beyond. Members of the Congregation of Saint Vincent de Paul, as well as many residents, rallied to condemn this act of inexcusable violence and expressed their support and prayers for Father Palle’s speedy recovery.
Marseille: ‘The last prophet is Mohamed,’ an evangelical church
vandalized by tags
Translated from “Marseille : “Le dernier prophète c’est Mohamed”, une église évangélique vandalisée par des tags,”
Valuers Actuelles, July 1, 2023
It is with amazement and dismay that the faithful and the pastor of the evangelical Protestant church Philadelphia of Marseille discovered their ransacked place of worship, Wednesday, June 28. Upon arrival, they were exposed to smashed windows, doors forced open and paneling ripped out in anger. The furniture on the stage where the pulpit is located was also overturned, reports the media Info Chrétienne.
In addition to the material damage, tags were found on the walls of the enclosure. “The last prophet is Mohamed,” “Jesus is not God,” we can read. An act of an anti-Christian nature, without a doubt, as Romain Choisnet, director of communication for the National Council of Evangelicals of France, pointed out on Twitter.
They spelled "last" wrong. It should be spelled "lost". They can tell Jesus that He is not God when they stand before Him in Judgment, I'm sure He'll understand.
The pastor of the church, a member of the National Council of Evangelicals of France in Bouches-du-Rhône, filed a complaint. The National Council of Evangelicals of France, through Romain Choisnet, has shared its support and prayers with the faithful of the vandalized church and hopes that the culprits will be quickly found and punished.
