You are correct. But how does Paris quell this uprising? In earlier times, the police would be instructed to "shoot to kill" if attacked. I'm not sure the French police are even armed. You saw what happened when the French police chased the Muslim youths into the electric power station. They had 10,000 cars a night torched. Outside of going door-to-door and deporting all non-citizens, what can they do now that they have let this boil fester?
Yes, it's a terrible situation but it's one that requires a show of force and authority.
What can they do now you ask? Plenty if they have the will. Here's a few off the top of my head...
1) Stop the welfare checks.
2) Halt immigration fron muslim nations
3) Prosecute mulsim leaders who foment this rebellion
4) Deport illegal immigrants
5) Give police orders to shoot-to-kill if attacked
6) Condemn, raze and redevelop the worst of the housing projects, providing relo support for legal, law-abiding folks.
7) Support foreign allies, like the US, in WOT to show commitment
