    I will definitely do that. Though I think I was wrong to say what I said about the other post being ignorant.

    All immigrants do want everything handed to them on a silver platter and none of them want to work. I don't know what I was thinking finding ignorance in that post. You are on a roll today.

    It's hard to be convinced by you when 95% of your posts have been defending these criminals. A one line criticism isn't exactly persuasive amidst the rest of your posts in this thread.

    "I am not excusing violence" reminds me of when someone starts off a sentence with "I'm not a rascist, but...".

    Well then the problem seems to be with your comprehension and not my statements. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

    95% of my posts have been addressing the problems that North African immigrants and their decendents face in France, and zero percent has been devoted to defending violence caused in the riots.

    But maybe it is because I am too dumb to see that quotes about immigrants not wanting to work, being ingrates and wanting everything handed to them on a silver platter aren't justified and completely accurate. I was foolish enough to believe that it was a generalization.

    Ok, i should have said a minority of the Immigrants are causing the Mayhem which is currently turning france into a War Zone. It's not fair to paint everyone with the same brush. i will Admit that the french Goverment might be at fault somewhat, but thats no excuse to creat Thuggary and Terroriaze Innocent Citizens.

    As a Person who has a Muslim Background, BRAVO. it's Hightime that the muslim Leadership started Preaching leadership, Tolerence and not so much hate and voilence. ordinary muslims get brainwashed by the messages of hate. both the west's failed policies are also at fault here.u

    I totally agree with you that no matter what the French Govt. did or didn't do, nothing excuses terrorizing innocent civilians. I agree with this entire post.

    I didn't realize just how f-ed up France really is. It sounds like a good place for Al Qaeda to do some recruitment.

    You assume half wrong. I'm half hispanic and half white. I am Christian, however.

    Thanks for judging before you know! :)

    EDIT: And before you say I grew up in an all-white Christian neigborhood, I grew up in Alief. If you don't know, it's probably one of the most diverse areas of the city.

    Oh man, another example of Muslims being oppressed and thus justifying violence.

    Next you know extreamist will declare France as part of the Holy Land and say that all infidels must leave France or there will be holy war against the West.

    Exactly, much like how the LA riots were about oppressed Baptists.

    so i guess you labeled all those black rioters in LA "radical Christians."

    but somehow, i doubt it.

    You have earned my respect. I wish there were more Muslims here who thought like you.
