Bump....
Bump ping. I just wanted to do that.
Actually in France, there's no need to even attempt to disguise this. They all KNOW that this is a battle between disenfranchised and isolated Muslim youth, mostly of Northern African origin (Algeria).
There's a real crisis there on the separation of society. And it isn't entirely economic. It's also cultural as the Muslims do not embrace European society and vice versa.
It's very bad. Unlike the suburbs here, the suburbs there are areas to quarantine the poor Muslim. And they are not liking the indictment which is a life sentence. They do not act like conservative Muslims either.
Now about Paris. So beautiful. In all my trips there, nothing but a pure pleasure. None of the anti-Americanism I've heard about and my French is very bad. (One time a woman asked me for directions in French. Had no choice but to tell her I was from New York.)
France is no where near living up to its credo: liberty, equality, fraternity.
It has however been replaced by socialism, political correctness and corruption.
They are in deep trouble. But they do have a strong element that will not roll over to this element.
This Hungarian leader who may become the National leader is their only hope.
