It&#x27;s completely possible that the message sent here was not aimed to anybody living in France.<p>It&#x27;s also likely that certain large portion of French are not going to be satisfied unless something drastic is done. To them it&#x27;s not about the problem, it is about feelings and identity.<p>So this can&#x27;t be <i>solved</i> entirely. Best thing to mitigate the problem would be a knee-jerk reaction that does least amount of damage. Because in democracy you will have that knee-jerk, sooner or later.
