I didn't really see the riots a couple of months ago as having much to do with Islam. We're talking about a group of young men who drink, do drugs, frequent prostitutes and listen to the same thuggish type of music as the American underclass. It's tough to find a link between them and Islam, other than that their parents or grandparents came from somewhere in North Africa.
"With cries of 'God is Great' bands of youths armed with whatever they
could get hold of went on a rampage and forced the police to flee"
This is from Independent Media Research, but it can be found all over the web. Now mind you, Christians usually are wont to say "God is Love", and Jews say "God is One". The bands of yutes in Paris didn't use these phrases. As far as drinking, taking drugs, frequenting prostitutes(in spite of being destitute. Does France have socialized prostitution?) and thuggish music are concerned, note that the 9/11 hijackers are on record as having gone to a strip club the night before qualifying for their 70+ virgins.
