Reuters agreed with AP’s attribution of all the unrest to economic injustice, and added in a suggestion of racism: “The unrest in the northern and eastern suburbs, heavily populated by North African and black African minorities, have been fuelled by frustration among youths in the area over their failure to get jobs and recognition in French society.” Deutsche Presse Agentur called the high-rise public housing in the Paris suburbs “a long-time flashpoint of unemployment, crime and other social problems.”

hmmmm I'm surprised, I thought Muslims believed fully in the will of Allah. It's Allah's will.

"The Euro-Arab Axis, historian Bat Ye’or details a series of agreements between the European Union and the Arab League that guaranteed that Muslim immigrants in Europe would not be compelled in any way to adapt “to the customs of the host countries."

What in the world was the EU thinking? This just opens the door for these immigrants to more or less start their own little countries inside the host countries.

I know it's wrong thinking but, I must say that a (small) part of me gets some enjoyment seeing this rioting happening in France. Their own idiotic policies brought this on themselves.....
