With 10% unemplyment and a poor Muslim population largely confined to grim suburban housing estates, the ingredients for social explosion have long been brewing. In fact, vehicle-burning has become the suburban crime of choice. Last new year's eve some 333 cars were burned, a figure the police celebrated as "stable".
Show me where and why this problem has not been simmering; only made worse by French national denial and accusations of Islamic extremism?
I'm curious about this segment of the french population "largely confined to grim suburban housing estates". Are these people oppressed because they are Muslim, undereducated or simply not french?
