I think the difference between Germany's Turkish minority and France's Muslim one is a matter of numbers... Some French cities like Marseille already harbor a majority (50%+) of immigrants. There's no German Marseille. That's why Germany's Turks keep a low profile and, somehow, acquiesce in their discrimination... The very word Gastarbeiter (guest worker) tells a lot about the Turks' status in Germany. Contrariwise, France's North African and sub-Saharan (black) immigrants feel strong enough to rock the boat (of France's race relations) --they're much closer to cracking France open than their fellow Turks are in Germany --so close, yet so far:

You know you show your bias left and right while providing incorrect information. The Muslim population of Marseille is not 50%+, but closer to 25%:

Hell, all of France is estimated to be only 8-10% Muslim. Its surprising for a city as large as Marseille to have 25% of its population Muslim let alone 50% when the Muslim percentage of the total population is as low as it.

Of course, to a visiting Belgian 25% of the population may look like 50%.....that's a common reaction for the majority race.

Please keep it accurate Gustav!
