The most widely used argument by lefties is this: The rioting youth (mainly Moslems) feel isolated from the French Society. The problem is mainly economic; they don’t have equal job opportunities and they are not recognized as full French citizens. Today, Tarek Ramadan, a Euro/Islam expert, was saying on the BBC that the problem is mainly social, not religious.

A report being circulated focuses blame on the misconceived concept of the “Islamisation” of France, a claim that even some Muslim’s believe. Whilst I do not ignore reports that a Salafist group has been reported to have issued a call for action against France, let it be noted that the Muslim community is not in agreement. The reality of the matter is that the French reap what they sow, and I’m not just referring to the police throwing a tear-gas grenade into a Mosque at prayer time!. As I have previously stated, the root of the problem is NOT Islam or being Muslim, but instead poverty, economic misery, racial discrimination and provocative policing. Then there’s the facisim of the out of touch Nicolas Sarkozy. When will people and politicians start to listen to the residents themselves, who do not believe the riots to be the work of “Islamist’s”, nor the work of criminal gangs?
