A Jewish-owned restaurant in Paris was torched Thursday morning.

French police reported that the restaurant was totally burned.

There were no injuries.

Police have not officially stated the motives behind the torching of the restaurant or if they have any suspects, reports Israel Radio.

French authorities have repeatedly warned of the possibility that Muslims may perpetrate attacks against Jews and Jewish interests in France.

Since the start of the Palestinian uprising, French Muslims have perpetrated many attacks against Jewish interests in France, including the firebombing of synagogues.

There are between four and five million Muslims in France and about 750,000 Jews.

Hundreds of anti-Semitic incidents, some of them violent, have been documented by French Jewish leaders since the uprising began.

A Jewish school in a Paris suburb was burned down.

Jews have been physically attacked; threatening letters sent to community leaders; Stars of David scrawled on Jewish businesses, and cemeteries defaced.

All in all, some 320 anti-Semitic incidents in 2001 were documented in a report by the Paris office of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
