"A recent string of racist incidents in France has shaken the political establishment"

And you believed them?

The French can portray the Holocaust as something imposed on France by the Germans, while the slave trade was robustly transacted by the French without prompting from anyone. They still treat Blacks in ways which would result in physical injury if Whitey were to do the same in the US.

The obviously non-Muslim Dieudonne' is just a racial huckster of little importance. But the French really are at a loss to understand how to deal with the Muslims, especially those underclass Muslims in the banlieue. Every other immigrant group that has come to France whether Romanian Jews or Ukrainian miners or Vietnamese dockworkers has made an effort to 'become French.' All French students learn about how the brave Senegalese of the Legion Etrangere fought the Italians to a standstill in the Alpes-Maritimes in 1940. By contrast, the Muslims insist that France become like them. The French, first of all, cannot understand why someone else wouldn't want to be French. Then, when they realize the situation, they are compelled to think in un-French ways. Do we deport the Muslims? If so, then what do we tell LePen when he wants to deport Jews or bar Protestants from public life? Do we limit the behavior of Muslims, regulate the content of Islam? Then, what happens when PETA wants to bar kosher slaughtering on 'humanitarian' grounds or when the Catholic Church wants to bar Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses from going door to door? Where do we draw a line that doesn't force us to do something that would shock the conscience? Since the French get stuck in this mental masturbation they refrain from doing anything.

Due to the mountebank Rousseau, the French believe in the 'Noble Savage,' that we are only evil because we have been taught by 'the Man' to be evil. The notion of a fall from Edenic grace, or even a Darwinian killer-ape, is as relevant a concept to them as sunspots. So, this makes it even more difficult to regulate the behavior of the savage detritus from the Maghreb. They are a form of a 'more natural' man and if they behave badly it must be because the State doesn't do enough for them or some other cause foisted on them by Civilization, like those dirty, rotten Israelis.

Getting the French to give up their theories though is tougher than prying Bill Clinton off a dumpy, fat intern. So long as the main victims of the Muslim scum are Jews or others who can somehow be pictured as un-French or to use the Vichy formulation, anti-France, the situation can be safely ignored.
