The thing is, you do not know French, have never been to France, and so discussing this with you would be a waste of time.
The French have a democratic system, with many more parties than the US, and the French are perfectly capable of running France. I imagine that they do not actually NEED some know iot all from Dallas telling them that they much panic and expel the Muslims from their country.
I HAVE been to France and DO speak French, and actually, stayed in the 21 Arrondissement in Paris where my ex-girlfriend's retired brother lived. He lived in a fairly small house surrounded by apartment buildings. Most of the tenants in the apartment buildings were Maghrebis, which means "Westerner" in Arabic, since they are from West of Mecca and are actually Tunisians, Algerians and Moroccans. I visited there in 2003. It was in late December and was colder than I have ever been. The Sun went down around 4:30 PM. The buildings were gray and gloomy, with some graffiti in both Arabic and French. We saw a lot of Algerians, who I suppose were Muslims, on the subway. Only a few women were wearing scarves of the Muslim sort, but it was cold and everyone was wearing something on their heads.
I encountered no problems with anyone. One hotel we stayed at was run by a very short Chinese woman, who insisted we pay in advance, which is not the custom in France, where one pays when one leaves. We had couscous in an Algerian restaurant, since my ex girlfriend was a widow and her deceased husband was a pied noir, that is, a European (he was French-Italian) who lived in Algeria, and she insisted that I try the couscous, which is a Moroccan dish made with wheat. It was indeed delicious. The staff in the restaurant were Moroccan, and very attentive.
We flew out of Paris on New Years Eve, 2003. The night before we stayed at the Hotel des Belges, near the Gar de'Est, the railroad station, where we could get to De Gaulle Airport. The Hotel des Belges was not run by Belgians, but by some Turks. There was no heat, and the room was barely above freezing. There were lots of blankets.
I highly recommend France as a really great place to visit. It is not, however, advisable to visit Paris around Christmas because it is very, very cold. Actually 2003 was a record cold year. We also stayed at a country inn owned by her ex-husband's brother and his wife, it was near Pau, in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The Inn was called le Tire-bouchon, which means the Corckscrew. It was in a town so tiny the priest said mass there only once a month. We met Monsieur Le Maire (the mayor) picking up trash that inconsiderate citizens had strewn around the town dumpster. He said he thought they transgressors were swine, but was very friendly.
There were two things people could do in this town in the winter: stay at home and watch TV or go to le Tire-bouchon and smoke and drink. I met a lot of interesting people. There were no Muslims in that part of France.
