In France, Prisons Filled with Muslims

Earlier posts documented the spread of prison gangs back to Central America from US jails. This sounds like a disaster in the making. 60-70% of inmates in France are Muslims, though they are 12% of the population. Information from an Open Society Institute Report given in the article about other European countries. There are so many opportunities for radicals to exploit this situation. But watch the growth or Islamic organised crime groups as well. We're in danger of watching the wrong ball. Fear of terrorism is all very well, but organised crime will last many generations longer...That's another discuss question, or even a PhD topic.
