Saint-Denis, France - Two molotov cocktails were thrown at a synagogue in a Paris suburb today as the rabbi was inside, causing the facade of an adjoining Jewish restaurant to briefly catch fire, an anti-Semitism monitoring group said.

'The Molotov cocktails did not cause any damage to the synagogue, but the window of the adjoining restaurant was broken and a wall blackened' by flames, said the non-governmental National Bureau for Vigilance Against Anti-Semitism.

A witness of the attack on the synagogue in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis said three people fled the scene, the group added.

Police also found the shattered remains of three petrol-filled bottles outside a Jewish prayer room in Schiltigheim, a suburb of the eastern city of Strasbourg, alerted by a resident who spotted black smoke marks on the wall.

French Interior Minister Michele Alliot-Marie said in statement that all efforts would be taken 'to find the perpetrators of the attacks and have them answer before justice for this intolerable act.'

This is how the 'religion of Peace' expresses itself. This is how they ask for a cease fire. After 911 -A call went out WorldWide: "DO Not attack innocent moslem citizens, do not attack their businesses, or their places of worship (mosques).
Islam is a scourge on all humanity. Where are the so called "Moderate, enlightened, Moslems condemning this horror, that is growing and getting worse, and effecting the whole world. They are busy either condoning this lawlessness, encouraging it, or ignoring it. The UN be damned- it is the job of the moonie Ban ki-to speak up about these attacks on synagogues , but he won't.

Of course the UN will do nothing. Just as it did nothing during the suicide bomings.

I wonder where the French PM is? Oh, hes trying to make peace in the Middle East? Maybe he should protect the citizens of his own country before trying to push arab murders on the jewish state.

"Qualifier"? Don't you think that's a rather large difference,or is your hatred for Muslims so blinding?

I don't hate Muslims, is it my fault that Islam, and Muslim has negative connotations in the minds of a good portion of Americans? Could it be that their reputation of late is a little less than "sterling". Yes , the bad, murderous ones are a small minority, but they sure grab the headlines. Where is the condemnation by the good Muslims of suicide bombers, for example?

I am waiting for the next wave of anti-semitic attacks and demonstrations across the US. I am shocked it hasn't hapenned yet- College campuses! Self-hating ,liberal jewish students locked arm in arm with their islamic brethren in a show of solidarity against human rights abuses. (Heaven spare us) Also, the prisons-I would expect to see some kind of riots, with the battle in Gaza as an excuse. There is unbelievable , viscious anti-Israel, and anti-semitism in these breeding grounds of mindless hatred. Lastly, what are the terrorists planning at Club Gitmo- mass hunger strikes if Israel doesn't stop bombing their "brothers" (they can all starve to death if they choose to)
