Re: Paris riots spread, shaking French government
I don't agree on that decision, the intention behind it was well-meant though, as France saw an increase in religious hatred (mostly directed towards Jews). It was made in an attempt to cool these things down. Again, it comes down to French authorities being overstretched by these problems.

Re: Paris riots spread, shaking French government
I would like to see how when anti-semitism,"hate speech", and sexism is against the law in France. Questioning the holocaust leads to job loss and possible imprisonment. Even Noam Chomsky of all people defended French University professors accused of it when this was a big issue.

Re: Paris riots spread, shaking French government
>> The common American prejudices (in common I don't mean everybody) towards many other cultures are not very present in France. <<
Funny enough, we have millions of Muslims living in the US. They worship as they choose, and the vast majority are assimilated into the larger community to the extent they choose - economically and educationally. Funny enough, your comments expose your own prejudice and ignorance about life in America. You would do well to examine, sincerely, your own bigotry. Confront it. Acknowledge it. Become a better person.

Re: Paris riots spread, shaking French government
I have many American relatives and some American friends. I have had the impression of US as relatively open and tolerant to other cultures. However, the last years, I have seen so many prejudiced statements being uttered by Americans that I believe it is quite common. I put "not everybody" since I did not mean something like 80%.
