Assalam Alaikum,

There have been growing resentment of Muslims being ill treated in france, by mean of socio-economic problems faced by them. Last year's band on Hijab worn by Muslim girls to Public school is another hot issue. The recent riots in Paris are the sum of all these frustrations of Muslims that have resulted in sixth straight nights of clashes between police and the local youngsters. These riot has caused the Prime Minister of France to cancel his visit to Canada, and made him come openly into public to criticize his interior minister to tone down his rhetoric against the rioting youth. All this will certainly have some affect on this years Presidential Elections in France. By the way Muslims in France, if I am not mistaken, are the biggest minority combining all the different ethnic origins.
