I think it safe to say that the American news media has not always
given a balanced analysis of what is happening. Many people
have agendas which are trying to cram the danger of Islam
in Europe into every occurrence.
The underclasses are always dangerous to the bourgeoisie.
Long before Islam appeared on the social landscape of
France, the middle class talked about "les classes
dangereux", the British upper class thought that
criminality was inherited and the populating of
Australia was use to get rid of them.
So times have changed and the moral panic is directed
towards those who are ethnically Moslem, even though
going to the Mosque or praying daily is a rare event
among them.
Plus ça change, moins ça change.
