Terrorism is the use of force against innocent people to inflict fear upon them and to influence public policy. This is one of the definitions of terrorism used by ItsTheRightWay.com. If we apply this definition to the rioters who acted violently and with brute force the past couple of weeks, then we can conclude that the Paris rioters are terrorists and not rioters. Call these perpetrators of violence what you want. The media can call them rioters but I prefer to call the criminals (who were predominantly Muslim) who burned Paris businesses and damaged property. This may sound harsh to you but the people who inflicted hate and violence on the people of Paris are definitely criminals and terrorists. These criminals have spent the greater part of the last two weeks burning and destroying city businesses and property. The terrorists claim that the French government is racist because they cant find decent paying jobs. What do these criminals want? The French government is already providing immigrants with social welfare assistance that many experts are calling some of the best in Europe. How do these terrorists repay the generosity of the French government? They pillage the city of Paris. Im not a big fan of French policy and Ive been a critic of their extreme socialism. To call their generosity towards African and Arab immigrants racist is ludicrous. I believe that these terrorists will never be happy. They want to intimidate the French government and exert their will on the French public. These criminals must be stopped. The French government must stop negotiating with these bandits. I believe in a zero tolerance program when it comes to dealing with terrorists. If the French would deal with these rioters as terrorists, then they would stop negotiating with that group. The French government may feel handicapped to adequately deal with the rioters. Muslims make up roughly 7,000,000 people of the nearly 60 million inhabitants of France. Muslims have political clout and the French government may fear retribution by Muslims if they come across as being too tough. The government needs to send a clear message that they will not tolerate the behavior demonstrated by the rioters. If riots start again, then the government must use all the military force available to squelch the rioting. Once the terrorists realize that their illegal actions arent tolerated, they may be more inclined to utilize legal channels to get their message across to the French public. I personally dont agree with the rioters message, which I believe is for them to receive more government handouts and assistance. Hopefully the French public will demand an end to the horrible actions by the rioters. Its time for the French people to stand up against terrorism, no matter what group is behind it. |
