Here's the trick that noboby's figured out: what do you do to stop them? In any country with a significant number of Muslims living a Muslim culture this is a problem. In a western country it's not so much simply because many of the immigrants came for the money and were willing to give up some culture to get it (even the riots in France weren't that bad and were quickly contained). In a Middle Eastern country you start the feedback loop: 1.) Muslims stage anti-western protest 2.) Protest turns to riot 3.) Police trying to control riot shoot Muslim 4.) Muslims increase intensity of riot with new death to rally around 5.) Police shoot to protect themselves 6.) Muslim child is killed. 7.) More Muslims come out to protest "murder", bring more kids 8.) More police come out to control crowd 9.) More Muslims killed 10.)
