This is just a summary of some of the previously included links with news/commentary on the Paris riots, plus some new ones. (Coincidentally I'm currently in the middle of reading a book about the French Revolution and am right around the Storming of the Bastille). The similarities are arguably superficial, but then as now, the status quo can't last for long and France is going to have to do some serious soul searching about what kind of country it wants to be.

I'm honestly stunned by the american media's naming the riots in France as a war of religions. that's ridiculous. The causes are above all ghettoïsation, discrimination in employment, racism, locative and social apartheid.
I suggest you to read
"The corrosive division in France" by Soumaya Ghannoushi published in Aljezeera.net.
Fore more insight of the problem and the danger of islamising a socio-economic problem, I suggest this article published in the site of the Centre for Islam in Europe, University of Khent, Belgium,
Les banlieues brûlent de désespoirs
(translated partially in my blog too Riots in France)
