The true cause of Parisian quagmire

Introductionary summary: Three youths hide from the police in an electricity station, two get fried, the third claims they knew the risk. Nonetheless whole gangs of socially and economically challenged citizens riot against the police for a week. Mostly immigrants and, considering the surviving victim acknowledges the risk, not the brightest amongst them.
And now it looks like severe quagmire is breaking out in Paris and other French cities.
Small, mobile groups of youths hit Paris' riot-shaken suburbs with waves of arson attacks, torching hundreds of cars, as unrest entered its second week Friday and spread to other towns in France.
In the eastern city of Dijon, teens apparently angered by a police crackdown on drug trafficking in their neighborhood set fire to five cars, said Paul Ronciere, the region's top government official.
Another 11 cars were burned at a housing project in Salon-de-Provence, near the southern city of Marseille, police said.
I was about to sarcastically blame the American invasion and occupation of June 6 1944 or possibly the more recent humilation by Lance Armstrong, but The American Thinker cautions against schadenfreude though, despite French sneers in response to the New Orleans riots:
If the French ever lose their country to the Islamofascists, as demographic trends indicate they might someday, we will face an adversary with hydrogen bombs.
I doubt we're at that turning point just yet, but it's safe to say that these developments aren't exactly cheerful either.
The New Orleans riots stayed didn't spread across the country. The Parisian ones did and show there's more at hand here than a local disruption of order. In New Orleans people rioted because they lost their homes. To be frank, in France people seem to have lost their minds.
Update: not just cars, but also a handicapped woman was set on fire. Let's kick this banana republic out of the EU, shall we?
