Tel-Chai Nation

Auguste Meyrat talked about the Muslim riots in France, and his arguments, unfortunately, are very weak:

Unlike the George Floyd riots, which were largely led by well-funded activist groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa, the riots in France are mostly a grassroots phenomenon. Macron has some reason to take issue with social media because users have encouraged other restless young people to take to the streets and burn down something. Before social media and high-speed internet, these outbursts of violence usually took place in sundry neighborhoods of Paris and seldom spread beyond. Now they have become TikTok challenges that go viral.

I miss the part where Islam's influence is brought up. How fascinating. "Grassroots"? That makes it sound like this is something indigenous French are doing themselves, and it's monumentally offensive to downplay the real issues at hand involving jihadism, or even Antifa's involvements. Indeed, that the writer's sugarcoating anything to do with Antifa, let alone Islam, is very grave. Even though north Africa's mentioned in the article, Islam isn't, and that's the most problematic part of this piece. And, it gets worse when they claim there's a difference, but remain muted as to exactly what:

The first difference concerns the rioters themselves. Some of them claim solidarity with Merzouk and protest allegedly bigoted law enforcement, but their grievances stem from a general marginalization and lack of opportunity for French immigrants. The majority of these people are crammed in the banlieues, crowded suburban slums with some of the ugliest architecture imaginable. Similar to the urban ghettos in the U.S., these communities suffer from high unemployment, rampant crime, and general decay. One could find many boys like Merzouk growing up there.

Wow...do they know how repulsive this would sound if they said anything remotely similar about Israel and the "palestinians" in Gaza? The reason the bad apples they remain ambiguous about in terms of identity are there is because, not only have they turned the neighborhoods into no-go zones governed by Islamic sharia, they also imply we should award them with jobs they don't deserve when their adherence to Islamofacism makes them otherwise unemployable. This is one of the most shamefully pathetic, uninformed "viewpoints" I've ever seen.

It's not even the first time anybody writing for the Federalist did this sugarcoating, recalling last year, there was another one who did the same regarding New York City. If this is the kind of writers they consider perfect, it's very dismaying, and only prolongs the problems yet again.
