No excuse
Reader comment on item: The 751 No-Go Zones of France
in response to reader comment: not quite as portrayed
Submitted by Octavio (Italy), Nov 25, 2006 at 13:03
If the Americans have got worse ghettos, that is their problem. There is no excuse for France to have such areas within its own territory.
St Denis de la Chapellle is a scary place, dominated by North-African Muslims. This situation cannot be tolerated by France and by any other EU nation. Furthermore, what is the point of saying that French Muslims are alienated by what goes on in Palestine and other Islamic places? As far as I know, French inner-cities have got nothing, whatsoever, to do with Gaza and Jenin.
I am not French, but I don't think that French politics should be related to the Paelstinian question. Europe should send a very loud message to the world: we don't want to have anything to do with Palestine and similar places. If Muslims want to live in France, they need to forget about Palestine and the middle east. You cannot have it both ways.
