However I personally think it is only the surface of a much large problem.

This is a lot like the problems we (the US) had with civil rights in the 60's and 70's. I keep pointing at economics because in the US the major race riots only happened in the poorest urban areas where the perpetrators where poor. Middle class and wealth AA were not setting buildings on fire in 1965.

From my perspective the parallels are very clear. This has more to do with economic inequality than any other factor…why do you think they burn cars?
Well I can not help but gloat a little to the sanctimonious welfare state that gets it's due, although I am sympathetic to the individual french guy suffering through this.

Why emigrate to a place that is hostile to your presence and offers you no opportunity other than to go on the dole? One stated objective of radical Islam is to recover what they lost during the crusades.

Economic? The whole middle east is one giant poverty zone, They are incapable of fixing themselves and as bad as it is it beats wherever they came from by a couple of magnitudes.

Why should France or any other country have to be obligated to take care of them? And knowing the french they do not like anybody non french to begin with (& I am not sure they even like themselves.) why impose yourself?


I read a arrest report today 53 adult males to 23 underage males. News reports have been saying mostly youth. I am a big skeptic of MSM reports during a crisis I will wait a month or so to see how it washes out (ala` Kattrina) before I form a final opinion.
