Well, Sarkozy's in charge. Now is the time for him to actually do something about this riot.
Arrest people, or learn their identities and arrest them later. Then prosecute them ... pile on every felony he can find for them, rush their trials through, and toss them in prison for years for their participation. Build prison camps if necessary to

I was talking about non-citizens when I referred to deportation. Obviously, one cannot "deport" citizens. I have a very strong suspicion that a good portion of the rioters aren't citizens, because they certainly seem not to identify with France.

I agree with everything else, except for the deliberate display of disrespect. Desecrating a fanatic's religion makes a terrorist into a martyr.

The point is to lure more fanatics out of the woodwork to commit Suicide By Cop, until the swamp is drained and the survivors are too busy thanking God they are still alive to cause any more trouble.

I think that we dealt far too leniently with the LA race rioters. There were "gang leaders" who came to negotiate under the theory that it was their gangs attacking the people -- if I'd been in charge of that city, after I got the "leaders" in to "negotiate," they would have been next seen -- very publicly -- being dragged off to prison in shackles. And I would have ordered the police to shoot to kill -- take advantage of the gang anger to eliminate some of the scum from the population.
I hate gangsters, and most rioters, and I don't think that people who do this once should be given a chance to do it a second time.

The "underlying cause" is Muslim hatred for the French. It has little to do with economics (though the French could improve things a bit by liberalizing their work rules), and everything to do with the preachings of Muslim religious fanatics.

No, because this would disrupt the groups behind the riots by depriving them of leadership (what happens when a gang is deprived of its leader? His lieutenants fight for the top spot), and because it would demonstrate that the tactic of rioting produced bad consequences for those who ordered the riots.
