CRETEIL, France (Reuters) -- A French court sentenced a man to 25 years in prison on Saturday for burning to death a teenage girl in a garbage depot in a Parisian suburb.

Outrage over the death of 17-year-old Sohane Benziane in October 2002 produced a wave of feminist protest across France, with women rallying against an atmosphere of fear and violence haunting many girls in poor suburbs.

In the trial, Jamal Derrar, 22, admitted having led Benziane into the garbage depot, dousing her with petrol and threatening her with a lighter, but he said he only wanted to scare her.

Whoopee.

Why does him being a muslim have anything to do with the price of cheese in Albania?

EDIT - It doesn't even say he's a Muslim. If you're going by names, what about: "His friend Tony Rocca, 23, was sentenced to eight years for complicity in the crime."

Unless things have changed drastically, 25 years is a life sentence in a French prison. Imagine this: isolation cell, no light, irregular meal times, a bucket for a latrine that may get emptied once a week. Chances are he is going to die of pneumonia or some other disease related to unsanitary conditions in a year.

While a watch was kept outside, the aggressor, a local caid nicknamed Nono ,who had bought the bottle of gasoline a day before ,poured gasoline over Sohane and set her on fire with a lighter.

The vast, vast majority of slum kids don't believe in anything, especially not religion.

You need to do a lot of reading about life in European slums. There are a few very good, very realistic movies around as well, if reading is not up your alley.

Hardly.
First Generation immigrants almost never bother with religion. That's one of the strange things that people are talking about now - that second generation immigrants sometimes become very religious indeed, despite having had no encouragement at all from their parents.

At any rate, burning people alive is more of a Hindu thing than an Islam thing. So quite obviously he was taking his cues from all the Indian immigrants.

Well, Muslim fundamentalism is at home as well. The only protest that was anything but a peaceful affirmation of beliefs, as done by environmentalists for example, was in London, and that was organised by LeT (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lashkar-e-Toiba).

And obviously LeT is not representative of all Muslims. Hell, they're not even representative of radical non-Pakistani Muslims.

Some checking around, including the original French articles, does not lead to conclude he was muslem. No reliable sources state so.

However, the gang rivalry in those neighbourhoods is indeed often based on Jews vs. Muslems. It is therefor definately a possibility, just like it is possible he was a Jew.

Jamal is an afrocentric/typically Muslim name.
However I am not certain that Derrar is a Muslim name, it doesnt look Muslim, it doesnt sound Muslim.

This is an assumption on my part that if his parents were Muslim they would have taken a name in the Language of the Prophet---very common.

If Jamal is a convert, almost without exception is a complete Muslim name taken(typically from the 99 names...of which this is not one).

So I dont see him being Muslim.

They already have.

If you had kept up a little more, you'd have realised how much the focus and rhetoric has shifted as far as immigration-related policies are concerned since 9/11, and particularly since the Madrid and London Bombings.

That they don't seriously consider lunatic plans to just kill or deport millions and millions of citizens or residents can't be held against them.

25 years? I'm sorry but that should be a life sentence since I doubt France has the DP.

There is no real life sentence in France either. We are civilised country, we don't consider that the society has any right to halt the life of someone, be it by killing him or by sentencing until the end of his life.

25 years is a already long, long sentence. Why should he be sentenced to more ? That would stop being justice, and become vengeance.

Unless things have changed drastically, 25 years is a life sentence in a French prison. Imagine this: isolation cell, no light, irregular meal times, a bucket for a latrine that may get emptied once a week. Chances are he is going to die of pneumonia or some other disease related to unsanitary conditions in a year.

France prisons are bad, but not that bad. They are overcrowd, but you still get regular meal and normal toilets ;)

But it's true that some die in the prisons :( and with the current policy of putting everyone in jail even for minor offense, they are even more overcrowd than before...

He's most probably a second-generation immigrant. Maybe half-French, because of his last name, which is French.

If you had kept up a little more, you'd have realised how much the focus and rhetoric has shifted as far as immigration-related policies are concerned since 9/11, and particularly since the Madrid and London Bombings.

That they don't seriously consider lunatic plans to just kill or deport millions and millions of citizens or residents can't be held against them.

Your gathering abilities are astonishing.

At any rate, there is not a single immigrant's party in Germany. It will take some time before any such party could become powerful enough to change the basic law to make such things possible.

2. if you lived in England, I'm sure most of you be, whilst feeling it is a shame he's not locked up for life, be very glad of the 25 years he got. By British Sentence standards (though usually quite different from sentences expected by the public, as judges are very out of date and don't seem to understand that a few years is NOT a harsh sentence for murder), even though he was found guilty of something slightly different from actual murder, it is a very high sentence.

I've heard of English white kids being called names usually associated with black people. A person's name does not indicate, in any way shape or form, what nationality or what type of person they are.

As I'm sure most of you are aware, it's pointless to take heed of the ideas of anyone -Kievan-Prussia or anyone else- who can not provide any kind of evidence and just resorts to aggression when confronted against their claims. So let's just ignore Kievan-Prussia, eh? At least on this post anyway.

There is absolutely no link between this story and Islam, except that the victim was a muslim and the murderer had noth-african origins (I don't think he was a muslim, or at if he was one, he was a non-praticant one, like many are catholic but don't go to church and don't care about rules like "no sex before mariage").

But since it happened in suburbs that the media love to rant about, since he was "arab" at least in people's eyes, the story became huge... so huge that you speak of it even outside France. Sure, his crime is horrific, but there are many women beaten to death in France and Europe. Most of them are never spoken about. Because they are done by nice frenchmen. And remember that in many cases, alcohol played a huge role in it, something muslims don't fall to (at least in theory).

So the OP has a strange notion that a single crime perpetrated by someone who may be Muslim coupled with his expert analysis of population trends etc leading to the assertion that a) this is normal behaviour for all Muslims and b) that this shall become normal behaviour in society as a whole because the expanding Muslim population shall make it so.

Now, leaving aside a cogent discourse on the statistical significance of a sample population of one, I shall instead put on my tin foil hat and draw a synonymous scenario.

I shall start with a single crime here (http://www.borderlandnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060406/NEWS/60406004/1001) about a soldier killing his family. I shall then take expert notice of recent legislation to increase the size of the military and extrapolate that this shall continue indefinitely until such time as the military outnumbers civillians. I shall have at my fingertips links to other incidents around the world where soldiers have committed crimes to bolster my argument.


I shall then draw and present the inescapable conclusion that the US is guaranteed to become a military junta wherin soldiers regularly kill their families.

Finally, I shall attach an arbitrary date of .... ohhh... 2042 when this shall become true.

How the fuck is that "evidence"? He KILLED a muslim. Non-muslims have killed muslims, usually for reasons like "they're all terrorists". How many muslims do you thin Bush killed in the "war on terror"? and don't tell me Bush is a muslim

He was part of a agang. So are plenty of people in Salford or the Bronx, that don't mean they're muslims.

He is from Africa. What a racist thing to say - everyone from Africa must be muslim. There are many different religions in Africa, including christianity.

He has a Middle Eastern name. So do lots of people. Like I said, some people name their kids names usually associated with other skin colours or nationalities. A person's name is no indicication of their religion or anything else.

France prisons are bad, but not that bad. They are overcrowd, but you still get regular meal and normal toilets

But it's true that some die in the prisons and with the current policy of putting everyone in jail even for minor offense, they are even more overcrowd than before...

Ok, that sounds more reasonable. I was certain someone would have a more informed opinion than myself. Thank you.

That's wrong. Follow the maxim 'he who asserts must prove'. If you assert something to be true and then someone asks for a source or proof, then it is beholden on you to provide said source or proof. Otherwise withdraw your comments as being unsubstantiated.
I completely agree with you. The difference in this case is that I was not asserting anything to be true. I was expressing my impressions of the French prison system. Therefore, it is not beholden on me to provide a source at all. What it comes down to is that everyone sets their own standards for what is true and what isn't. It's not for me to decide what is true for you. That you have to do for yourself. Even if I did provide sources, you would still be free to accept or reject them based on your opinion of the validity of the source.

I suppose when you get down to it, there are two reasons people will believe something is true: they either want to believe it's true, or they are afraid it is true. (Thank you Terry Goodkind)

I never went "out of my way".

I just responded to a response that was essentially rubbish (as proved by the fact taht nobody, inlcuding you, has shown evidence on here back it up). Yes, some bad things are committed by muslims - but that doesn't excuse muslim-bashing just for the sake of it.

And as I made clear in other posts, I have a problem with islam and what it seems to teach. But I do not go around saying that people who commit crimes "must be muslim" without providing ANY (as in ANY, as in EVEN THE SLIGHTEST SCRAP, as in EVEN A TINY BIT) of evidence, as has been done on this thread. And when I do say something negative about islam, I usually back it up when asked (or even before being asked sometimes) - something you and KP can not POSSIBLY do, as you have no evidence. None whatsoever. Zilch. I'm not going to ask you to prove me wrong, because you've had plenty of chances and have proved you can not prove me (or anyone else who disagrees with your muslim-bashing statements) wrong.

"And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her." Ecclesiastes 7:26, from the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament)

It is not the fault of the Koran or the Bible that men mistreat women. Yes, in many countries women of the Muslim faith are abused.
