I think if the French government wouldn't tighten up security it wouldn't happen as much. They are really loose about who can come into their country compared to other places. If they would crack down a bit I think they would be able to stop some of these things from happening or at least have a little control over it. But as we all seen from history France never finishes what they start 😬 so either way they would pull in another country for help.

There are fires and stuff in Paris, Arabs are coming into France and starting hell. At least thats what I heard.
And where did you get that bit of information? Way to spread the misinformation.
The prime minister has blamed some of the violence on "criminal networks" but said much of it was carried out by "gangs of very young youths" who feel they have suffered discrimination and depravation.Asked who was causing the violence, the prime minister responded, "They are delinquents."
The rioting youths, many of whom are children of Muslim immigrants from Africa, have not given any demands. Many say they should simply have the same opportunities as other French nationals.
The unemployment rate for young people in some of the neighborhoods runs as high as 50 percent.
Young people in France, 57,000 of whom are on the rolls of the long-term unemployed, "must be given hope," de Villepin said.
The government is looking to implement a new plan. The first point, he said, was to empower mayors who had seen their authority eroded so that they "have the authority to restore order."
In addition, he said, training must be provided so that at age 14, children who no longer wish to continue in the school system can be trained to find jobs.
"I hope that we can meet them, assess their situation, and within three months offer a contract for training," de Villepin said. "Everyone must find a solution."
De Villepin said he had spoken with the families of the youths who had died and had promised them transparency in the investigation. He said that early indications were that police were not following the two.
Even before de Villepin's announcement, officials in the riot-hit Paris suburban town of Raincy said they were preparing to enforce a nighttime curfew. (Paris has simmered)
Don't make this an anti muslim thread.
It all started with the death of two boys who were electrocuted when they climbed into an electrical station.
Reports say the boys were trying to evade police, but local officials deny they were being chased when they died.
Unrest quickly spread to other parts of the city, mainly poor, run-down suburbs with large African and Arab migrant communities. Within days, the violence had spread to other towns and cities across France.

hello, my neighbor went to France on Vacation. she told me about it the other day. And why don't you leave me the hell alone. It seems no matter what I post you always have to criticize me. Whether I be right or wrong. you always got to give me a hard time. Frankly I am getting sick of it so knock it off.
Here is a link to a news report on the topic.
The point is they're revolting for no apparent reason.
This night they burned down 1200 cars and killed one person.
It is already spreading to my Country.
And they are 12-15 year old kids!
They say they don't get the same chances like the white men.
But they do, they get the chance to go to school and they don't.
They're just to lazy to work. and they think because they're 'mostly' immigrants we should help them. Well i have only one thingt say to them 'Study!' Get yourself a job!'
Then there are these guys who didn't study and then don't get a job and think it cuz they're called Ahmed, Abdel, Souffianne whatever.
Instead of annoying other people who work on their future find yourself a job!

Well if it was your neighbor then I am sorry. How silly of me to question a source as reliable as that.
As for the persecution complex, take a pill and relax, when was the last time I commented about what you had to say? It's interesting that I criticise you whether you be "right or wrong." I'd love examples.
As for getting sick of me, I made no personal attack on you, if you don't like how members respond to your posts, there is a simple solution.
I think there is been some serious issues ignored for too long:

Racism and discrimination in France? Both sides need to explain themselves.
