"In the UK we are being told that Bair's policy in Iraq is fueling Muslim alienation - but in France ( vigorously opposed to the war) is up in flames. Don't get me worng - we could well be next, but the point is they speak with forked tongue - using any argument to get what they want."
If you look into the events in France you'll find that there are many factors causing the unrest there, most of them not international or religion-based.
While there are no doubt many factors in what's happening in France, many would have us completely ignore the Islamic component. This would be incredibly foolish.
There. Fixed it.
The real point which needs to be made is...
You know, itellectually you are correct, however, at a certain point you just have to accept what the data says.
Muslims kill here, Muslims kill there, Muslims riot at this location, blow up their officers at that location.
After a while blaming the environment is hollow.
One fundemental cause of the French problem is MUSLIMS not wanting to adapt themselves and join the local culture of the country to which they have CHOSEN to emmigrate. (Note the significant difference with American Blacks). They are there by CHOICE. If they don't like France, they should CHOOSE TO LEAVE - not blame the French.
Sooner or later you have to accept that the unifying issue is that MUSLIMS are causing problems globally. If they are in France because their home countries are disgusting - that is again a MUSLIM problem.
Sooner or later you need to accept the obvious, and not over analyze.
