Edit - It' false that 100 people where involved in the violence. Everybody here was claiming that the police overreacted and the police just hyped up the numbers.

All details aside, two thing worry me a lot:
1) About 100 youths clashed with police at the Gare du Nord station after a dispute over a train fare.
2) Rioters smashed windows and attacked vending machines and shops, after objecting to the treatment of a man arrested for jumping a ticket barrier.

I mean, for crying out loud... a dispute over a ticket growing into a riot! There is something terribly wrong in France.

For example, I know a few arabs who are born in France and speak French. They are educated but never seem to be able to find jobs....unemployment is high in minorites....

Originally posted by der schwarze RitterWell, seeing that only 10% of the Congolese population is islamic, the chances are that this has absolutely nothing to do with the M word at all. Isn't it?

Originally posted by UbersuckThat is a sweeping statement.. I take it as meaning no country, but my guess is that some countries deal with integration better than others, just as some races enjoy integration more than others.
Nobody does
I like to believe that peoples from overseas enjoy integrating NZ society.. we choose to celebrate ethnic diversity.
From the core, we have legislation which gives sensitivity to certain tribal based customs and rights to our native Maori (Tangatawhenua) population then legislation ensures all are treated equally.. For the most part our society works.
I really enjoy going out with friends from other cultures..a real treat. Attending ethnic celebrations and festivals..brilliant and standing by them if someone steps of toes comes naturally.
The French don't just riot regarding race matters they just love to riot...
Have a gander at this riot photographers pics...amazing http://www.flickr.com/photos/hughes_leglise/sets/72057594084915155/
