They have been for decades. Socialism as sucked any national identity or pride in their country out of the people. Nobody goes to church. The country is run by a never ending series of clownish leftist elitists who have cultivated a culture of america bashing for political gain.
They've allowed their country to be over run by 3rd world muslims who refuse to assimilate, and they bow down to their every demand. None of the ethnic french are having children.
They have no real military. They depend on the UN for them to be able to weld power on the world stage. Their economy is dying.

France is completely lost and there is no way to regain it. THey are past the point of no return. It will be an islamic country within 30 years.

This is all a negotiating tactic the French are using to help us make sure Iran doesn't develop nukes. Sarcasm

In all honesty, I never counted on all hell breaking out this fast. I think it may be much sooner than we imagine.

"...officials grow increasingly convinced that drug traffickers and Islamist militants are using frustrated youths to challenge law and order here..."

[Question for Reuters] Yeah? Drug pushers like to see riots? Why? How can you profit off of burnt cars and a severe drop in tourism? Pushers want the pigeons to be fat, happy, and rich. How does this riot achieve all of that? Of course, if the pushers are more than just pushers, if the pushers are just using the drug trade as a means to end, such as jihad, then a riot would make sense.

Wow, that pretty much sums it up. The more secular that France has become, the more socialism and liberalism have taken over to fill the void, creating disaster. France could still pull its a*s out of the fire, but they are probably too weak-willed and ok, I must say it, downright stupid, to enact the measures which would ultimately save their country.

Yes, this is what the communists did in Russia. There was no pride in being Russian. That grand abstraction the Soviet Union became the object of admiration for them. But with the collapse of communism, the socialist left has replaced all that talk about the revolution of the proletariat with oppressed ethnic and racial groups, oppressed of course by whites who as a group have replaced the mean capitalists.

They've allowed their country to be over run by 3rd world muslims who refuse to assimilate, and they bow down to their every demand.

I think this was by design. The only way to destroy Western culture is by replacing it with something non-Western and antagonistic to it.

Yes, I think you are right about that.
