I think it's an unwise policy. By doing this, they are simply alienating groups that they want to modernize, precisely what they don't want to do. I think it's very short-sighted if you ask me, but then again I've been *very* cynical about France's attitude towards immigrants ever since I read about the ghettos where, through economic realities more than anything else, they are forced into either a pitiful subsidized life or a life of crime.
