Reactions to the Riots

I found a good summary of Arab and Muslim reactions to the rioting in France.
Two of the reactions were especially interesting:

Events Prove that Western Ideas Will Not Improve the Middle East
In an article in the Kuwaiti daily Al-Siyassa, titled "Freedom, Equality, and Fraternity are Not for All," columnist Dr. Khaled 'Awid Al-Jinfawi wrote: "This obvious failure of some of the immigrant societies in Western countries to integrate culturally and socially again sheds 'historical' light on the degree of success in implementing many Western ideas of progressivism, such as 'liberty, equality, and human fraternity,'... in the Middle East.

"If the ideals of equality, justice, democracy, human rights, and fraternity, which emerged in the West and were adopted by the French Revolution in the late 18th century, have not managed to eradicate poverty and inequality, and have even increased the marginality of the [immigrant] communities, deprived [them of] their rights, and denied them many opportunities in the economy, in education, and in development – then how can these ideas... improve the lot of many in the Middle East?..."

Well first off, it's a two way street. The immigrants have to want to assimilate
into their adoptive country. In the US many from the Middle East have taken advantage
of the offered 'liberty, equality, and human fraternity.' Others have not. In France, I'm not
entirely sure it has been offered. I suspect this next guy's got it right:

Leading Iranian Daily: "The Politicians of Paris Can No Longer Hide the Country's Ugly Face of Racist Discrimination"

The conservative Iranian daily Jomhouri-ye Eslami wrote in an editorial: "In addition to the historical claims to being defenders of human rights that the French have engraved on their brows, and in addition to the medal of pride they have awarded themselves for implementing democracy and freedom, the French politicians have tried to install their name at the forefront of the defenders of human rights in the world, and to [have France] renowned as the cultural center of Europe and of the world...

"The killing of two youths by the French police... ended the patience of the people who had for years suffered from the racist discrimination of this country [France]. And their quiet movement has now turned to overt and violent rebellion.

"engraved on their brows," I love it. It looks like the French are happy to pay
lip service to these high ideals but lose their conviction when it comes down
to doing the real work. Wasn't it the compassionate and caring French that
lost 15 thousand of their grandmas and grandpas to heat wave because the
kids were off on vacation and couldn't be bothered? "We take care of our
elderly, except, you know, when it involves doing things for them."
So yeah, maybe the French aren't providing a place at the table for
their Middle Eastern immigrants. What goes around, comes around, I guess.
