You are missing the point. The welfare state is collapsing. Multiculturalism is dead so said Cameron, Merkel and Sarkozy. This isn't about racism or the French for that matter. It is about the preservation of Western Civilization and the values and culture that have proven to be superior to all others.

The young, at least some of them in France, understand the legacy (and debt) they have been left. They are no longer buying the political rhetoric or the handouts.

In 2012, voters 18-29 preferred Obama. But drilling down further in that age group you find whites voted 51%-44% for Romney while Latinos voted 74%-23% for Obama and blacks voted 91%-8%. We are headed into political tribalism that can only divide and damage this country. The US is not immune to the forces that affect basic human behavior. And we have a President who is fanning the flames of race, ethnicity, and class.

Cameron, Merkel and Sarkozy are masking the problem by calling it "multiculturalism". the problem is "Islam"

There is no problem with Spaniards in France or Poles in England, not even with Hindu/sikh/Christian Indians in the UK or Sri Lankan buddhists/christians in France

the problem is Islam...

It is about the preservation of Western Civilization and the values and culture that have proven to be superior to all others

Actually, it's about Judeo-Christian Civilization and values

What is passed off as "Western" these days is the neo-liberal society

France has turned its back on Christianity and it is going straight down the tubes
