l'Islam. (Islam in France)

So this article discusses the migration of Muslims from colonized territories of France into France over time, to escape oppressive governance and in search for income. Immigration of Muslims greatly increased during the industrial boom in France, which fueled the demand for housing, or HMLs. Since then many industries have failed, factories shut down and some say that Muslims are to blame. This has lead to a great deal of discrimination in France against Muslims, making it very difficult for Muslims to gain a legitimate standing in society. I'm starting to see an intrinsic pattern here, one that may be better explained in something a little more close to home.  After the Reconstruction Era in the former Confederate states one party ruled unanimously , the Democratic party. The Democratic candidate, with only a few rouge exceptions, carried every former Confederate State for nearly 100 years. Political Scientist call it the Solid South. The reason Southerners put aside their many differences was for one reason, to keep the African-American population subordinate to Whites. I believe this is what is we see occurring in France in this exert.
