Trump's visit is being said to have sparked 897 cars to be set ablaze in Paris with 13 officials/police officers injured, concentrated in Muslim neighborhoods. Setting scores to hundreds of cars on fire isn't as rare as one might think across France and seems to have started in immigrant areas of Strasbourg in the 1990s. Bastille day often has immigrants and Muslims setting cars ablaze so how Trump's visit get much of the blame is surprising.
Quote:
"These people are told they are French, they are French on the passport, but French society doesn't view them as French," the source explained. "It's a conflict between the French state doctrine which says that French identity is based on common values of the republic and regular folks who say that French culture is linked to heritage."
The areas of violence did indeed have higher migrant populations, but these are mostly second- and even third-generation immigrants who have not yet assimilated into French culture, the source noted. The underlying cause might be more cultural than religious.
