This won't bode well for Muslims in France. France is pretty much one of the last places that there hasn't been backlash against Muslim immigrants.
I try to be a charitable guy, but when a religion's political weapon is immigrant minority to procreated welfare majority it gives me pause.
Personally, I don't have a clue what to do. I wish our elected leaders would put aside their partisanship and voter pandering to come up with an immigration solution and then have the balls to enforce it.

The brothers suspected of massacring staff at the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris have been killed and their hostage freed.
Gunshots and explosions have been heard at the Dammartin-en-Goele factory where brothers Said and Cherif Kouachi had been holed up with a 26-year-old male hostage for hours.
According to media reports in France the brothers - who came out firing - have been killed and their hostage was freed safely.
A helicopter which had been hovering nearby landed on top of the building during the raid.
Sky's Ian Woods, who is on the scene, said: "There were several bursts of gunfire that lasted about 10 seconds. Since then we've heard four or five explosions."
After this there was around a minute of silence, followed by further explosions.
Woods added: "Clearly this is the end game of this operation."
Several ambulances have been seen travelling at speed in the area of the factory complex following the explosions, close to the outskirts of Paris and near to Charles De Gaulle airport.
It came as six explosions were heard at the Paris supermarket where at least six hostages have been held by gunmen. Reports say some of the hostages have been freed, and the hostage-taker killed.
Minutes before the Dammartin-en-Goele operation, dozens of workers who had been trapped on the industrial estate by the stand-off were seen leaving the area in their cars accompanied by a police escort.
This was followed by a number of cars heading in the other directions towards the factory, filled with individuals wearing balaclavas.
The Kouachi brothers had been surrounded at the print works by special forces officers for several hours.
They took refuge in the building with a hostage after being forced off the road into Paris by a police roadblock.
Earlier in the day they broke cover from an area northeast of the capital and stole a car, before heading towards Paris.
A police chase took place and they were forced off the road close to the city's outskirts.

MUSLIM MAYOR OF ROTTERDAM TELLS ISLAMISTS TO F*** OFF ON LIVE TELEVISION
The mayor of an ethnically diverse European city has earned the praise of London mayor Boris Johnson after expressing exasperation with fellow Muslims who failed to appreciate the freedoms enjoyed in the Western world, telling them to “pack your bags”.
Speaking to the NewsHour current affairs programme just hours after the Charlie Hebdo shootings in Paris, Mayor Aboutaleb became angered by the failure of some Muslims to adapt to their new homes, as he himself had done.
Mayor Aboutaleb said: “It is incomprehensible that you can turn against freedom… But if you don’t like freedom, for heaven’s sake pack your bags and leave.
“There may be a place in the world where you can be yourself, be honest with yourself and do not go and kill innocent journalists. And if you do not like it here because humorists you do not like make a newspaper, may I then say you can f*** off.
“This is stupid, this so incomprehensible. Vanish from the Netherlands if you cannot find your place here. All those well-meaning Muslims here will now be stared at”.
Aboutaleb, a Moroccan-born Muslim and former journalist took up the office of Mayor in 2008 now presides over one of a number of European cities where ethnic minorities and non-natives make up over half of the population. Although his appointment as mayor was criticised initially by anti-Islam parties in the Netherlands, who demanded he give up his dual Moroccan citizenship, he has since worked to prove his worth.
Angering his initial power-base among the cities Muslim voters, Aboutaleb has been unafraid to speak his mind on the importance of Dutch values and integration. After supporting the firing of a Muslim member of his cabinet for apparently supporting the Iranian government, fellow Mororcan and Rotterdam citizen Abdel Hafid Bouzidi, 30, said of the mayor in 2009: “He goes too much to the right”.
In 2004, Aboutaleb told Muslims if they didn’t subscribe to Dutch values they should “catch the first plane out”.
