It seems that it is related to fights between Iraqis and Afghans,” said Olivier Caremelle, chief of staff of Grande-Synthe mayor Damien Careme, an environmentalist who supported the building of the camp last year. …

Possibly the migrants wishing to relocate into cities, not remain in camps?

So “refugee moslem” left their own nations because of moslems fighting, then they start fighting in their new home area. Who is surprised by this?

Re: Fights between Iraqis and Afghans

Hasn’t someone explained to them that Diversity Is Our Strength?

And, that burning down your own home violates the Doctrine of Sustainability?

This couldn’t possibly have been the work of peace-loving Afghan moslem foot soldiers trying to murder some Kurds, I think it’s a false-flag op by supporters of Le Pen!

Yeah right...at the first sign of the native-French people getting ‘restless’, the French govt will swoop in and lock them up for thinking bad things about terrorists.

Try “mud huts” next time. They are more fire resistant.

I don’t kno, The French got rather feisty during the French Revolutuon and wiped out the aristocracy by killing roughly 10% of them and driving a majority out of the country.

Actual history doesn't back up your blanket assertion.
