French Mosque Set on Fire as Soldiers Threaten Coup

Muslims aren’t a race

Neither is African, but when someone calls Africans underdeveloped savages we know they’re not talking about Afrikaners in Zimbabwe or Scots in Ghana.

You can’t conflate the cultural issues of the French Muslim community to racial issues. Plenty of non-white groups have well assimilated into French society, Congolese, Ivorians, etc.

This is an issue with Islam in France, not race, dragging race into the conversation is simply an attempt to dilute the waters and turn it into an American-style CRT narrative

If theres no racism involved why does the hate always get directed at anyone who "looks Muslim"?

Who knows, same reason why “priveldge” is applied to people who “look white”

Racism probably

...is that so? What metric of "assimilation" is being used here, may I ask?

Yes, so the French right are constantly telling us. I do wonder why they're so eager to downplay the possible effects of ruling over a massive multi-racial empire for decades! I'm sure it's not a self-serving project of denialism and suppression to shore up the French mandarin elite's self-image in the face of sustained criticism from a changed nation they're no longer in touch with...

And thinking that licking the boot will stop it stamping on their face when the civil liberties start getting curtailed.

They have not “assimilated”. Many remain quite distinct from French society.

Additionally, many sources put Côte d’Ivoire as majority Muslim.

Jesus fuck that is just outright racist

Muslims aren’t a race

I always hear "mUsLimS aReN't A rAcE" from people who think that would somehow fix all discrimination against muslims, sure muslims aren't a race but it's still prejudice

"does france have a problem with racism"
