Hey, Anyone Up For More Rioting In France?

More

No worries though, because the foreign policy experts at FP are pretty sure that the root cause is police brutality. So as soon as the French cut down on that everything should go swimmingly:

As The Guardian says in the article, the riots are merely the latest clash in a long-running fight between urban minorities and the French police. Numerous reports in the last year have shown the police force using ethnic profiling and human rights violations against minorities, and racial problems are not just limited to law enforcement, either.

And yet it's weird, because these same communities also saw violent, anti-Semitic riots during Cast Lead. And that doesn't have anything to do with French racism. In Paris youths of indeterimate religion spent a solid week torching and flipping over cars. All of that has a much more global, ideological feel to it.

And when you add in how French doctors are issuing certificates of virginity to Muslim women and how Jewish men are being stabbed by radical Muslims - well, it almost seems like that ideology is religious in character.
