So, most people have by now heard about the rioting in France by the Muslim north Africans, with the burning of cars, the throwing of rocks, and the making of noise.

One issue that I have with the reporting is that while most people know that they are Muslim above every other detail about the situation, there religion, as far as we can tell, has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SITUATION.

The riots aren’t about religion, they are about class struggle, the age old battle between the haves and have-nots. In France, the have-nots, just happen to be North African immigrants, who just happen to be Muslim, which begs the question, why are they not reporting that “the poor north African immigrant populations in France is rioting.” My opinion is this: the media knows that Muslim makes people think terrorist, and that terrorism sells.
