France's image crisis

Besides, the administration alienated the Muslim people banning "Hizab", that is an innocuous custom, under the pretext of secularism and squeezed the religious freedom. But the irony is that she could not uphold the principle of secularism for all citizens irrespective of race, colour and creed. The humble-birth marginal people could not enter the door of high rank jobs. They could not even cross the path going through aristocratic residence. The cop would misbehave. These blatant example of class distinction fanned the fire pushing their back on the wall inciting them the spree of vandalism with a surge of car-burning, arson attacks and rioting.

Their participation was spontaneous. The administration stumbled to check the riots as outpouring expression of public backlash that can perspire even strong government.

Jacques Chirac, the president of France did not repudiate the charges. Time will say, whether France wipes out the tarnished image or be further torn in civil war? We hope to see France as prestigious in solving the untoward incidents dealing with public interest cautiously, not by using whimsical force.
