"Chirac. the only thing those islamofacists will understand is a shoot to kill order that is swiftly executed. Otherwise you will lose control of your country forever."

Neither of these two things will come to pass.

What will happen is that there will be an increased police presence, which will restore order in these areas for awhile. The government cannot be seen to retreat in the face of an immigrant strike (a general strike on a political issue by the French?, yes, but a violent riot by Arabs?, no). The fires and rioting will abate, with little to no loss of life (thus far, there have been only perhaps four deaths, including the first two kids who essentially killed themselves by climbing an electric pole, touching off the riots).

The government will attempt to redress the situation by applying more policing, and some cosmetic attention to jobs, but things will not much change. 93% of the French people are not Arabs. Nobody is going to "lose control of France forever". And there will be no "shoot to kill" order. Police forces in civilized countries are not issued orders like that in the face of restive youths and some property damage. Obviously if armed gangs came onto the streets and began to actually kill the security forces, tactics would change. But the current situation is not that, and won't become that.

What needs to happen is that the spread of radical Islam needs to be vigorously clamped down upon. Youths will be turbulent. It is imperative that the turbulence not be mixed with some sort of grander religious notion.

You talk like a DemoSocialist apologist
and appeaser. All your proposed plan
of action will do, is delay the
inevitable, as the violent separatists
become emboldened, by their "victory"
in disrupting and terrorizing the French
people.
