Moroccan men

In the city where I live and I was born, 10% of the population were born in Morocco. If Moroccan men are more successful than myself with women, good on them. I don't mind. Maybe, Moroccan men have got that extra charm. However, if you talk about the immigration issue in France (but also Italy and Spain) just in terms of jealousy and sex, you are mistaken. I wish it was just a competition for who is more successful with women. It is undeniable that North-Africans have got a hard time fitting with French (but also Italian and Spainish) society.

I am not talking about who gets the prettiest women. I am talking about education, employment, political participation and representation. North-African Muslims are disenfranchised from French society. Sarkozky might be an idiot and he might have a chip on his shoulder. But he has got the right and the duty to tackle the issue, because French society is about to implode. I am not French. But I know the situation quite well. I can ensure you that it is not about women, or whether or not you are a successful playboy..........it goes deeper than that.
