Perhaps some perspective is called for.

I don't remember reading about drunken Muslims across France causing the violence. Now when the Aussies react to something that took place on the beach, they're drunken hooligans. Even when there was talk of cars slashed in reaction to the Aussie hooligans, there was no mention of liquor.

It seems to me that the Muslims are generally described as addressing grievances, and those who object to their violence are referred to as drunken sots.

The media and the authorities seem to be quite forgiving when the offenders are thought to be of the Muslim persuasion.

That may not be the case, but for all the world it sure looks like it from where I sit.
