I think some of our Western countries have become much too accommodating because we hold ourselves to different standards. Looks like it's gotten way out of hand in Paris I gather if it keeps moving in the same direction soon the native French will bending over for every demand from the Muslim immigrants.

I don't think we will let that happen. Some French are really angry with Muslims here. It will end up very badly no matter what I think.

With France's ties with North Africa it's even harder to do something.

Im a bit surprised so many people are taking this so seriously.

Go to any large city, and youll see a ton of crazy little things here and there all over the place.

Someone happened to record a Muslim in France overturning a table, and people are seriously over-reacting to this non-event.

People apparently like to talk of Muslims in France. To show that it's going bad over here.

Somewhere else it wouldn't do has much waves I guess...

That's not going to happen. Things have not become out control in Paris. It is still a normal city like any other. Radical muslims are a minority in any country including in France. Besides due to France's strong stand on laicism and secularism, I doubt that the native French will bend for Muslim immigrants.

Exactly! People are exagerating for nothing! I guess they must be bored.

Not really in my case I knew if I made a hyperbolic statement it would encourage a discussion. Good to hear that it isn't so bad from the people living in Paris.

But our city-data title says 'attacks diners'.
Also, the article says hockey stick. It's clearly a cane. Maybe it was his way of demonstrating man's inhumanity to snails.

There are people in every religion who prosletyze. Some of them are mentally ill or immature. We have a 50-year-old neighbor who claims to be Christian monk and sends each house a Christmas card with his personal message to convert.

My guess is that the diners were nominal Moslems chowing down in a café catering to North Africans. The guy then got irate. Ironically, if he is hardcore, he probably should not have been in a restaurant himself during Ramadan for any other purpose besides getting water.

Like Christians with lent, the Moslems that I have worked with approached the fast in any number of ways: Some did not fast at all, others fasted the entire time, and others sort of, kind of fasted on some days but- not on others.

Islam nonetheless brings some worrying tendencies to Europe and some of its aspects are highly controversial.
Unfortunately they can be hardly discussed since most of time people stupidly shout out "Islamophobia/Racism/-ism random word" and thus positions only get radicalised without any serious achievement.
To give you an example, how many people know Bosnia is getting increasingly infiltrated at all levels by radical Islamists?
How many people do care to discuss the fact that there have been cases of French mayors literally pork barrelling their elections with Muslim communities granting them terrains where to build mosques?
How many people do care to discuss the fact that Salafist presence is increasing throughout the whole Europe?
Little or no time is devoted to discuss to what extent European countries are meddled with ISIS and other fundamentalist factions, little is discussed about how little Europe and the US are doing to fight ISIS.
We are just toying ourselves with our poor and deceptive mass media.
