Could the riots in Paris be connected to the recent banning of the headscarf in France?

I have said from day one that banning the headscarf all over the West would be huge, and would bring the cockroaches out of the woorwork.

That's one of the claimed excuses:

 According to the BBC it's all about the 'headscarf ban'.

I think that was more of a symptom of an overall European problem than a problem in and of itself.

Europe has a long history of looking down their noses at other races/cultures/foreigners. The Germans have nearly always been that way; in fact they have a uniquely German phrase for anyone who is not of German decent: "das Auslanders"...

Looks like the charade of a peaceful united EU is about over...

The rioting may be a cover for jihadists to compromise France's numerous nuclear site..
