I have gone to France repeatedly and have always been treated with politeness and decency. It is a beautiful country with great food, wonderful scenery and interesting history. The problems in Paris are mostly due to many of the young Arab men from Algeria and Morocco (the older folks are mostly in business and fit in well) who have no desire to be French, are often unemployed and are concentrated in high-rise hovels in the ring suburbs of the cities. They make inviting targets for the Islamofascists, who by the way, are funded by Saudi Arabia.

A least somebody with a clear picture of the situation. It is really refreshing.
Bashing is a pretty useless exercise. It sometimes can be funny and even witty in certain cases but most of the time, it is just repeated cliches by people who have never been abroad.
The same uneducated people that bash America in France, bash France in America.
