France's image
People should stop throwing stones at a glasshouse. France may not be a perfect example of racial harmony and integration but where does one find one? There is no excuse for immigrants to riot and destroy public properties, this achieves nothing. The trouble has instead hardened public attitude towards the immigrants. Ironically, these troublemakers have more rights in France than their country of origin. Who can blame the French if they started identifying their immigrants? People should not expect that a host country should quickly accommodate every wishful thing that an immigrant wants. People have to work for it! There is no free lunch for immigrants or for France's own citizens. The choice is simple. Follow the laws of the land and work within it or move elsewhere!
