MIM :If Islam and Muslims had nothing to do with French riots why is the French ambassador explaining that to two of the largest radical Islamic groups in the United States who hosted him at a forum to discuss both topics ?
Just to show that Islam and terrorism were 'separated at birth' MPAC's Salam Al- Marayati threatened the French by telling the ambassador that if the Republic didn't appease the Muslims in their country they would find themselves targetted by Al Qaeda. The French ambassador concurred with the leaders of MPAC and CAIR concurred that Muslims shouting Allahu Akhbar while rampaging through the streets of French cities burning people ,buildings,and cars, had nothing to do with religion, and certainly not with Islam or Muslims.
According to MPAC's Al Marayati,and Nihad Awad of CAIR , the eruption of Muslim emotion was the fault of the French failing to fulfill their obligations as dhimmis properly and cater to Islamist sensibilities. The heads of both radical Islamist organisations told the French ambassador that his country had better start accomodating Muslims or face the consequences, which Al Marayati intimated would be car bombs instead of just burning cars:
"...Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR, said the outbreak was a signal that discrimination has to be fought at all levels. He called on the French government to show the young Muslims that "society is with them, not against them."
"...Salam al-Marayati, executive director of MPAC, said "people want to live the French dream, the American dream, not the French nightmare...And while "we agree that this is not a religious conflict," al-Qaida and other groups can exploit these people if their social and political situations are not improved ..."

Ambassador Says France 'Back to Normal'
By BARRY SCHWEID, AP Diplomatic WriterMon Nov 21, 2:50 PM ET
The violence that swept predominantly Muslim communities in some 300 cities and towns in France for three weeks has abated and "we are back to normal," French Ambassador Jean-David Levitte said Monday. He said mostly teenagers had acted out of social and economic hardship. It's not about the role of Islam in France"."We never saw any link, direct or indirect," the French diplomat said. "Religion played no role."
"We know that jihadists are recruiting teenagers, but this has nothing to do with the general unrest in those neighborhoods," he said. The teenagers want to be considered 100 percent French, he said. "They want full equality."
Levitte also suggested "the word 'riot' is a bit too strong"The French have invoked those riots in the past, by way of criticizing U.S. policies. In 1992, then President Francois Mitterrand suggested that France would avoid such strife because of its generous social programs.
Levitte said that with job programs, scholarships and improved housing, the French government is engaged in trying to improve their living conditions. Levitte said that with job programs, scholarships and improved housing, the French government is engaged in trying to improve their living conditions.
He spoke at a forum sponsored by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR, said the outbreak was a signal that discrimination has to be fought at all levels. He called on the French government to show the young Muslims that "society is with them, not against them."
Salam al-Marayati, executive director of MPAC, said "people want to live the French dream, the American dream, not the French nightmare."
"We are not immigrants anymore," he said. "We are second, third and fourth generation."
But the Muslims in Europe are not regarded as full-fledged Europeans, he said.
And while "we agree that this is not a religious conflict," al-Qaida and other groups can exploit these people if their social and political situations are not improved, he said.
