It’s remarkable what passes for good news these days, particularly in nations enriched by diversity. A report from France notes a decrease in the annual New Years car burning ritual — only 940 vehicles torched. That’s 12 percent fewer arsonized autos than last year’s 1067. Yippee!

Of course, diverse (mostly Muslim) car-b-cues don’t occur only on New Years. That would be too limiting to Allah’s anarchists. When Muslims get a tiny bit miffed in France, they think arson and other violence. For example in 2010, after a Muslim casino robber was shot by police in their self-defense, three nights of violence followed including 50 to 60 cars burned in Grenoble. An arresting police officer reported, “The youths told me: You killed one of ours. At any rate, you are a dirty race, we will kill you too. We will shoot at everything that is European.”

Isn’t Muslim immigration great?

But a few dozen fried cars are nothing in the big picture of diverse arson. The blog Covenantzone examined records of France’s car burnings by using reports of the newspaper Le Figaro. Every year from 2005 to 2009 racked up more than 40,000 vehicles burned, with a total of over 200,000 automobiles destroyed in that time.

The AP report following didn’t directly identify the perps as Muslims, but did hint as much with its inclusion of the Allah Akbars shouted by the arsonists:
