AULNAY-SOUS-BOIS, France (Reuters) - With every night that France's rundown suburbs burn, officials grow increasingly convinced that drug traffickers and Islamist militants are using frustrated youths to challenge law and order here.

Many people who watch their cars, shops and schools go up in flames, however, are not buying it. They blame unemployment, racial prejudice and widespread youth boredom for the outbursts.

France is in denial.

"They blame unemployment, racial prejudice and widespread youth boredom for the outbursts."

Blame, blame, blame, blame, blame.

They should be blaming themselves for not sticking up for themselves. Silliness.

If there was any form of prejudice involved it would be Jews and Christians doing this, but of course they aren't, because Christians and Jews don't do this when persecuted. The french have been moving more and more in an anti-Semitic /anti-Christian direction every year the pasd decade. The persecution of Jews and Christians in france is legion, so the mention that this has to do with the french being prejudiced against muslims, and that offending westerners is really offensive to me. Where the heck was all the disgust in the western world with the well known prejudice attitudes of the french against Christians and Jews the past decade? THAT sure hasn't seemed to bother anyone. But heaven forbid anyone be prejudiced against muslims. Things like this make me sicker and sick of islam. The sooner the arabs run out of oil and they no longer have anything we want, the BETTER!!! ;|
