It seems that Sarkozy and his countrymen are not on the same page.
He was elected because he took a strong position against the rioters that were burning cars and businesses all over France. By the time they got close to Paris the elites said enough is enough.
As usual the elites don’t care a bit until it inconveniences them.
The French deserve everything that will come to them eventually unless they wake up. Maybe when they make the Eiffel Tower or the Arc d’ Triumph an open air Mosque their eyes will open up.
