Dear Editor, France made a great blunder in admitting the Muslim population as they are guided by orthodox and militant muslim leaders. Unless the ordinary Muslims are given best education they will never mingle with the society and they will be deprived of their privileges and rights. The so called Mullahs are still living in the 8th century and they do not want any rational and radical changes among their community and they still want to impose the outdated and barbaric laws. The Muslim community creates problems everywhere in the world including USA and other western countries. This is not applicable to other communities who migrated to other countries from India as they respect the laws of the nation. However, once the Muslims receive modern education and they will respect and accept others until then we have to face all these problems.

Mr. Thomas How can u say that Musims are guided by orthodox and militant muslim leader?
how can u blame that Musims follow barbaric laws This is simply ridiculous to post a message like this..
If you have courage to write a religion barbaric and you believe in your religion than as accept a challenge from me
Go through our religion Islam deeply with an un bias mind than compare Islam with any other religion in this worldI know you will definitely change your view and you
Will be shamed of what you have written.
And if dont you accept this challenge, simply belive that you follow a religion that is only followed by foolish and crazy people.
Keep in mind just because of few misguided Muslim u cant blame whole community.

Ok sadia You dont follow barbaric lwas. Fine. Can you tell the reason why even the muslim personal law board endorsed the fatwa issued to imrana??????? she was raped by her father in law and instead of punishing him they told her to marry him. How absurd is that?Every religion has it's own crappy laws which not relevant in modern days. But if u guys says all these are what id said by god and follow it then sorry you are living in dark

I fully agree with Mr. Thomas, these people will give 1001 excuses like attributing their failure in education etc to society. I want to ask that if some Kind of discrimination is stopping them from progresing, then why don't Muslims progress in countries like Saudi Arabia and other Muslim Shiekhdoms which are 100% muslim nations? They can feel discriminated as they claim, only in those countries where they do not have a majority, but where they are in majority, there too their condition is the same when it comes to education. Gulf countries have no skilled labor force, they have to import it from India, and it's really a shame that inspite having so much money they can't invest it for the education of their people. The truth is that Muslim people don't have any appetite for education and they have invented many excuses to defend their failure. Don't fall in their trap! How does Israel-Palestine isssue stop a Muslim, say from Bangladesh or Indonesia from progressing? This one liner Palestine-Israel argument has become too trite now or better I should say it has become jaded by it's excessive prostitution.
Go and look for some new excuse to defend your callousness towards education.

I like the way people like Thomas generalize the entire muslim population as barbaric and outdated. "France made a great blunder in admitting the Muslim population; "The Muslim community creates problems everywhere in the world including USA and other western countries." Isn't it fascinating that USA is the home to a multitude of gujaratis, many of whom have praises for Chief Minister Modi who was solely responsible for mass murder in Gujarat. If we take Modi as a representative of the Hindu population along with right-wing fanatics like Bal Thackeray or anybody from VHP, Hinduism could be classified as the most intolerant faith and hindus, the most intolerant and insensitive people in the world. So where does your logical sense of drawing parallels disappear when you see discrimination of the most extreme type occur in broad daylight in India? Religious fanaticism extends from Islamic fundamentalists to people like Thomas who in spite of carrying the title of Dr are still full of hate for others. Shame on you and everyone who thinks like Dr. Thomas!

Thank God, Mr.Thomas holds some rational views along side his irrational and concoted ideas. The rational views being giving modern education to Muslims. People like Mr.Thomas fail to understand that masses/people, when isolated from the mainstream and being discriminated tend to become frustrated and violent. The actions of some misguided Muslims in other parts of the world should not be considered while dealing with Muslims in this part of the world. The major inspiration to terrorism is the non-addressing of Israel-Palestine dispute. Why the so called super powers don't address this dispute first, instead they prefer to attack innocent countries like Iraq.A small fraction of time,money and effort spent by US, UK and other aggressive nations to attack and justify the aggression on Iraq would have been sufficient to address the Palestine issue.A small fraction of the amount and efforts spent on AGGRESSION and MASS COLD BLOODED MURDERS and other shameless acts of indecency perpetrated by American & Britons would have virtually wiped out epidemics and diseases like AIDS, Tuberculosis from the face of the earth if spent otherwise.It has to be a human heart to think in the right way.

What does israel palestine conflict have to do with the terrorism????? There are conflicts every where so? should everyone kill others? there are conflicts even in muslim states. The fatc is you guys are capable of pointing fingers at others but dont look at yourselves. Most of the guys who come to teach quran to muslim kids teaches many "other things" too. Please dont deny it coz iv personally seen it
i have been in france for the past two years,married to a french,yes there can be a bit of rasicm ,maybe i didnt have to face it much as my husband is french.language was and is a problem,i am a business graduate and had to take up a teachers job teaching english but i was happy as i could carry on with english then.my colleagues were very supportive,all in all rasicm exists everywhere in the world .moreover many of the french people i know are very much attracted to cultures of countries like india,morocco,china etc.
i am surprised to read the views of this so called professor .he has very definite views that solution to this problem is Marxism. He is also so knowladgable that he knows that present gov is ridiculous and may emulate germany, he knows that lots of ppl are angry. but suddenly when he is aksed why muslims are rioting inspite of france working harder for thier integration he becomes 'incompetenet'.
looks like a wrong selection to get the right picture. The professor was trying to be politically correct throughtout the interview and never gave a hint of the unrest & its reasons currently faced by the french society.
what has happened in france is pathetic..everyone knows that racial discrimination is very high in europe compared to the US..but stated that its also the fault of the new generation who want to succeed in life without any effort..How many of the rioters do u think can make a difference to the world by becoming Mother Theresa or Mahatma Gandhi?.Its high time that necessary steps be taken to prevent such unrest happening again in the future...where is the world heading???only time will tell...

The presence of so many people from North Africa in France is because France went and colonized countries in North Africa. So, I guess the French need to come to terms with the consequences of their action. Labelling people as "scum" and quietly supporting far-right parties and groups is not going to fix anything.
