" the French are perfectly capable of responding ruthlessly when they feel threatened."
Right, just like they did against the nazis. OK so maybe they will go in and kill a few. Do they have the balls to get rid of the problem? No way. Would they rescind the citizenship of these muzzies and deport them to the ME? No way. Will they eventually surrender? Yup.

Muzzies? And a lot of these people aren't from the middle east, they are from North Africa and they are not all religious fundamentalists

These riots are like to the Rodney King riots in LA.

You're letting your biases get the best of you. I'd rather base my opinions on what they've actually done in the past.

Look at French colonial history, especially in Algeria. You'll find that the French can be amazingly brutal when they set their minds to it.
