Arab youth are angry at white France and they take their anger out through mass civil unrest. The next major insurrection will involve the French army being deployed. Petty Irish drug gangs and their internal rivalries are not in the same league.

Hould yer horses, horses. When was the first "major insurrection"?

You are talking out your arse mate. The Arabs in France were and to a certain extent still are, treated like the Irish in England not so long ago. Sure they're angry and in certain cases have every right ot be. But the people burning cars and throwing stones at the cops are just low-life, knacker, thugs with ******************** all else to do. Fair enough, they'll play the race card or the religious discrimination card when they're caught, but all they are is waster scumbags just like you'd find in any rough estate in Ireland. They represent a very small percent of the 5 million or so Arab muslims in France.

Some people have short memories.

insurrection-an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government

Exactly what happened in French back in 2005 that didn't stop until the government caved in and offered a bribe of millions of public money to the rioters.

It was a series of uncoordinated riots, urban poverty being the main problem.

Can you show some evidence of this.
From my memory the problem was solved by a curfew and thousands of police and CRS (riot and crowd control police) patrolling everywhere.
