I'm sure that if the people responsible for the violence and destruction in France were for example skin heads they would receive the same condemnation from members of this forum , would you then call that "an excuse for skin head bashing" ? . The fact that the criminal element in this instance happen to be mostly from immigrant families should not shield them from our disapproving comments regarding their current behaviour . As I stated earlier in this thread , yes they are disadvantaged ,yes they are marginalised in french society and certainly their government needs to address the issue but commiting arson and murder are criminal acts and any right minded person should condem them without hesitation or concern that they might upset the sensibilities of those in here who consider our disapproval of such activities as no more than "an excuse to bash immigrants " .
