Multiculturalism is disgusting.

France is hardly multiculturalist, and fortunately the rest of Western Europe begins to follow the suit. We have already started banning circumcision of boys, halal/kosher slaughter of animals and soon wearing of a religious-mandated garb in public will be prohibited. What else would you like us to do???

Read your own article, it's not the (conservative) mayor who asked for the French army but a (socialist) senator. Senators have not that much power or things to do, incidentally.
As for Marseille, it has always been a messy place (Hitler and others wanted to destroy it or at least some criminal neighborhood) and I can't see that changing.

She's A mayor of Marseilles, not THE mayor of Marseilles, and I never claimed that she was.

What an outrage! Marseille is the auspicious conjunction between Celts and Hellenes! It is a gem of culture and malaise! It has a special place in the firmament of yukkuri existence.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Misleading headline. District mayors have not the same powers as the mayor.

Go there and/or speak to a local and see how much of the Celtic and Hellenic culture remains nowadays.

 If it remains at all, I might find them to be lazy, standoffish, and possessed of a superiority complex.

Are you really so sure it disappeared? But then, also, to be go pleasantly into decline fits the culture as well..

Are those the stereotypes of Arabs these days?

Says the Sefardi Jew living in the United States.

I really love his idiocy.

Considering you're a Pole who tries to act like a Westerner though you still live in Poland, you don't have much room to talk here.  :P

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I also like how that mayor goes "OMG 14 dead in 8 months, deploy teh army!"

While in many U.S. cities those numbers would be heralded as a miraculous improvement. :D

And as U.S. cities in general are a far cry from being lawless zones of anarchy, I think she's a bit too nervous for her job.

Yep. You got a good head on your shoulders kid.  :)
