The French Mess

What a mess is France these days! Is this their just deserts for ghettoizing African-Muslim immigrants? Or should the immigrants get all the blame?

Actually, I think that both are at fault. The French government has placed all these immigrants into Pruitt-Igo like projects on the outskirts of Paris and other French Cities. They have separated people from French society based on their race, perhaps? Or is it just because they are not French?

And these people have no police protection - so gangs can grow and take over the areas.

It does appear that some French Muslims are appalled at the situation and are trying to calm the uneasy waters. On the other hand, it seems that the riots are well-organized and are spreading to other cities in France and even to Belgium and Denmark!)

The riots, in my humble and non-academic opinion, are a direct result of multiculturalism. When a country allows immigrants to become citizens, it is of the utmost importance that they be integrated into the general population - learn to speak the host country's language and learn to accept the host country's laws - especially those laws relating to women.
