Don't make me point out all the ways. What we have is a problem dealing with a large amount of Muslims victimized by their own radical Islamist brethren and their world wide propaganda. What you have is passive discrimination. They can't get good jobs.......they have a hard time entering white society........they are equal sort of so long as they stay separate. The Swedes have been better than most and so they won't have as many problems. But in France.........ooh la la. Quelle domage! I saw it coming when I was in Paris over ten years ago. Its just begun there and will get uglier before it gets better.That may better be called a cultural problem now slipping out of control due to pseudo religious problems roots of which we know where they are located. The white man speak with forked tongue. You need to read about the US during its race riots of the sixties. Many white people spoke then like you are speaking now. Many southern dems were incensed and jumped to the GOP. You conservatives have a hard time facing facts.........that's why you tend to be reactionary.No wonder the situation is worst in France with their 6-8 million African Muslims. They don't have 6-8 million Muslims. Its more like 3-6 million........roughly 5-10% of the population. In Germany, compared to that we are very lucky that most - if not all - of the Muslims are pretty normal Turks, who came here a generation ago to work hard. And so they did. So while you claim Gus in Belgium has no clue about the "complicated US race relations", then I may strongly recommend that Ted in the US, equally clueless about our complicated cultural relations in Europe, gives it up right here. Dude, I know far more about the race problems in Europe and America than Gus knows about them in either place. When minorities remain passive, the dominant population doesn't have to learn about race nor even think about it. In fact, they don't even see them when they run into them on the sidewalk. Its only when minorities become aggressive does the dominant population begin to see them and react.......usually violently like the French did last fall. Ultimately, the French will learn that that doesn't work. They will try other tactics. Eventually, they will reluctantly give to French Muslims what they want.......real authority.
