Yes, that is the question, I agree.
As an answer,IMO, it may burn down now, but it will not be contained. No amount of taxpayer money will solve this, just like Attila bankrupted the Western Roman Empire's coffers when he threatened destruction or tribute.
To contain this requires the "youths" to integrate in to French society. It has to be their ( the "youths" desire.)
Now letting it burn down now is a short term solution. It is for me, and now and mine.
To confront it and risk worse, is a long term solution. A stand that will be for future generations, for their children to grow up in their France, that their future generations will not have to encounter the worse that will surely come from appeasement.
France is at a monumental turning point. A fight for their nation now with the knowledge of a better tomorrow or an appeasement with the desire for those today to not be inconvenienced.
A really difficult choice, I understand. But we must ask the same question of ourselves in this nation because we will have to confront the barbarians on our soil sooner or later.
A fight for the now and for the future, or to give up now with no regard of the future.
We have learned enough lessons of history, now is is the time to implement what has been gained from those lessons.

I couldn't agree more.
"France is at a monumental turning point. A fight for their nation now with the knowledge of a better tomorrow or an appeasement with the desire for those today to not be inconvenienced."
That is exactly how I see it. I think that people tend to see things as static. France has been around so long we simply assume it will continue, and it will be French. The same perception applies to Germany, England, and even to the US. The only thing constant is change. There are no "rules" that say there must be a France. The muslims know this. And the muslims are determined to change the face of the world.
I fear we aren't up to the challenge.
Brilliant - I enjoyed your post.
Historical perspective is always valuable - more of us should remember that "history repeats itself" over and over again.
Thanks
