In the scene where the fires were raging on the dark street, there were cries of Allah Akbar, it is true.

But did you not also listen to every interview with every person there? Young, old alike. They didn't speak about Islam. They spoke about treatment. And Sarkozy, darling of the right, when asked about radical Islamists, he said that they would have a problem with the police and the justice system, but that what this was about was rebuilding communities.

Once again, perhaps you are hearing what you want to hear, and I am hearing what I want to hear. But I do acknowledge that yes, Allah Akbar was yelled in one scene of riot. I have not heard acknowledged, in turn, that all of those Beurs interviewed, young, old, alike, didn't speak about religious belief or desires, but about anger at concrete injustices, and that the hardest hardliner in the French government echoed the sentiment that what's needed is rebuilding.
