I am living in Poitiers aeras, so I know my country history

the problem with you foreigners, you see us as we were still living in your history books and not for real.

the surburbs aren't of islam problem, more of poor uneducated families that are not yet connected with our rules. yes there has been a comtempted regard on them from our different governments ; though, at the beginning this magreb immigration wasn't meant to stay in our country, they had always thought to return in their country for retirement ; it appears that the nowadays given parameters are different, there have been islamist threats in their own country too, (gia in Algia for more than 20 years) and AQ is also threatening the whole world.

I provided a link above that is of an US governmental study, where it says that the majority of our muslims want to integrate, though that the sirens of AQ may sing to the poorests, kind of revolution replacing the former communist one.

this is also why the US governmental associations are courtising our banlieusards, inviting them to the US, make them constat that the US aren't that devil depicted by the radical muslim propaganda... give money for their formation etc... (CIA is also on the ground)

I am tired of seeing my country depicted as if she was overwelmed by your mirages.

We aren't that dumb, that is why we made laic laws, that are respected, that's why we created an university degree for the foreign imams, in order that they master the french language and the laws of France , other than that they are reconducted to the border, that is also why in each mosquee there is a french rapporter, (from the secret services) that is also why freedom of speech isn't allowed : no calls for hate are tolerated...

if you think we are doomed, this is because you transfer the anglo-saxon system of comunautarism on our society, which it isn't, but more like a forced integration, that had worked since 2000 years so.

Thank you for the warning, but you should look inside of your own society how to manage the muslim integration, my canadian sister in law doesn't see that it is so idealistic...
