You're onto something, Detroit has a good chance of being first here.

Sorry but you're wrong. It will be Paterson, NJ. That's where the muslims were dancing in the streets within minutes of the 9/11 attacks.

sitting here watching the doublespeak news on my laptop with a webcam... good is bad and bad is qualified. we're in 1984 aren't we?

we might not have the full extent of the government control but.. thank God for the constitution (or what's left of it).

"They now have a huge, African (Muslim) population that is unemployed ... and no prospects for employment."

That's one part of a brilliant analysis.

But what's next for those unassimilated radical Muslims? Looks to me like the Socialists are unwittingly building a New Serfdom. And Chirac thinks he'll be the lord-of-the-manor. Madam LaFarge would not approve.

Which is it?

The sentence should have read: "They are".

Do you believe that ... immigrants will be rioting in the streets...

In California, the single greatest expense that law enforcement incurs involves the control of the expanding public threat that the struggle between Surenos and Nortenoes has produced.

Is the United States the same as France in any way, shape, or form?

Ceratinly. The politcal class in both countries have abridged their soverinty in their attempts to secure cheap labor.

4. Bring back Christianity to be a foil for it.

I can NOT understand why they haven't imposed any curfews?
I assume their answer would be that it might "inflame" the "youths". But isn't a curfew just SOP for a situation like this?

You're right, it would be Dearborn.

85% of these immigrants share similar cultures, religion and life experiences. A prescription for unification into a monolithic mob should the US economy weaken. Sound familiar?

I don't see think the situation is quite the same here.

Having lived in South Florida which has an enormous immigrant population, my experience was that they assimilate rather quickly into the American way of life.

In fact I found it amazing how most second generation latins would behave and sound exactly like their American counterparts and share most of the same values.

"... little attempt was/is being made to mainstream the immigrants beyond a primary "public" education ... "

Someone told me recently that that's not the case! They said one major problem in France is that the immigrant populations are allowed to have their own, separate "public" schools, in their own ghettos.

Oh I don't doubt that Paterson would be a domino right after Dearborn. I could be wrong of course, but I thought Michigan had the largest and most concentrated islamic immigrant population. Paterson being right behind, and isn't Falls Church, Virginia also a huge community? (Well, some place in northern VA.) If this tragedy in France is indeed part of some larger planned tactic, the little fire icons would be all over the U.S. just like they are in France now.

MadIvan, I like your attitude. If the UK were populated with people just like you, I think the U.K. would be much better.

They were probably letting the old people roast inside like they did a couple summers ago.

Chirac's government is struggling to cope with an explosion of unrest with complex social, economic and racial causes.

Complex? There is nothing complex about the problem. Mass immigration from the third world combined with multiculturalism is a recipe for social, political, and cultural disaster. But the political classes of the west will not admit that their policies and ideas are the problem; instead, they say the situation is "complex."

Correct. Justified under the guise of religious tolerance in accordance with the principles of "seperate but equal".

A parallel course in the US is the tolerance of "mutilingual" ballots and the promotion of school vouchers.

You give great insight into the world of the tunnel visioned, Amerigomag.

Once in a while it's good for me to see someone articulate an abject distortion of reality into the netherworld of negativism as you so often do, and then be glad I'm not like you....

I have an honest question. We know the French have no balls, so what the hell are they supposed to do. If they come out too strongly, the whole Muslim population may go ballistic.
They are in deep doo doo unless they grow a sack !!

Is that the French term for ghetto ?

In the US they're called "the projects", in France "estates", in England "council flats"

Whatever you call them, they still stink
