Good question, C-Dub. Looks like those two will be celebrating Bastille Day (from the inside) early this year.

The very serious situation unfolding in France at present is not merely a national problem for the French - its possible consequences are multilateral.
Parallels can be drawn with Britain. Although the causes are different there are common denominators of insufficient inclusion of ethnic minorities, which fuels the frustration and sparks the aggression.
The lack of sincere intergration of ethnic minorities is a Europe-wide issue that needs to be addressed by Europe's leaders. Britain, holding the Presidence of the EU, has a particular duty to show leadership and willingness to deal with the European diversity agenda.

They can't coordinate or flame riots from the internet unless those poor people living in one room appartments with no food, no water and 30+ kids (or something like that) have a comp and connection.

"Although the causes are different there are common denominators of insufficient inclusion of ethnic minorities, which fuels the frustration and sparks the aggression."
Wrong. Wrong. And wrong again. The causes are not different, but rather exactly the same: Backward, uncivilized, third-world savages expected to behave in a society of laws. If you traveled back in time and brought a Neandertal man into the present, he would likely have little more difficulty than arabs and africans assimilating into a modern culture. These peoples' understanding of anything more complex than a molotov cocktail is severely limited.
There can never be sufficient inclusion of ethnic minorities who still see the tribe as their highest social authority. We have had two millenia to become what we are, yet we expect them, they who live little different from their ancestors of a thousand years ago. Aside from the suicide vests, Kalashnikovs, and molotov cocktails, that is. The frustration is fueled by their total inability to assimilate into society without having their hands held the entire way, and the aggression is sparked by anything, because only civilized people can solve their problems without violence.
The first mistake was letting cavemen into civilized society at all; the second was to do so in great numbers; the third was to naively expect them to drop in seamlessly to society and assimilate. We reap what we sow.

Paul,
I want to know how one can be assimilated into a European culture that they want to destroy. The Muslims in France do not want to be part of that culture. They hate it. They attacked the French earliar this year when the French teens marched about a student problem. The Arab and African students beat the hell out of the French, and the government did nothing. Thus, you have the riots.
These riots will calm down. The French will pay huge sums of money to these people in an attempt to buy them off. But I submit that they are calm and know exactly what they are doing. One of the tenets of jihad is to make the enemy pay out huge sums of money for such things as extraordinary security, along with welfare and other subsidies. The suicide bombers who blew the tubes and a bus in London were all on the public dole. Do you not see a pattern?
Britain is also subject to the same problem as France, and the US would be to were it not that most people in America are armed and would shoot the rioters. Hurrah for the 2nd Amendment!

'Zactly, Joe. Only a fool seeks a job in a factory to support his family and uses some of the money to build bombs to blow up the factory.

Yes, they will pay the Danegeld, in hopes that they will be dead long before their children and grandchildren are enslaved or annihilated.
