Well the French have no problems on firing on unarmed crowds in the Ivory Coast, how about combative islamics in Paris?
It's worth pointing out that the government of the Ivory Coast is Christian, whereas the rebellion in the Ivory Coast is Islamic.
The French have sided **against** the Ivory Coast's Christian government and with the Islamic rebellion there.
Thus, the Radical Islamic insurrection has now spread to France, ungrateful as they may be, they pounce on weakness.
These crowds aren't unarmed.
