The so-called peaceful Muslims of the world are running riot in France and all the European media can call them is "disaffected youth". So I have to once again ask, why is the world so damned politically correct that we are now to the point of hiding the truth that Islam is fundamentally at odds with most of what the West hold dear? Here's an article talking about Muslims in France and Europe...

The riots in Parisien suburbs by Muslims are not unlike the black riots this country experienced in the 1960s. Many of the conditions that led to the riots are the same. The French are thinking exactly like you're thinking...........their prejudice will dig a deeper hole and cause these riots to continue for a long, long time. Muslim discrimination is rampant in France. The unemployment rate in the Muslim suburbs is around 30%. They are forced to live in cellblock-like apt. complexes.......big, undifferentiated complexes that are in need of repair. Muslim youth have little hope that their futures will be any better than their parents. Plus, they must deal with a gov't that is indifferent to their plight and is disrepectful of their religion and culture. French cities will burn until the French get it.

Sadly, you see how Bush screwed up but you still maintain the mindset that got Bush into trouble in the first place. The Muslims are not nearly as bad as you portray them in spite of how often you make those portrayals. But its people who think like you do that helped get us into Iraq and create the nightmare that exists there now.
