On Sunday night, tear gas from a police canister filled the air in a Muslim prayer hall, sending worshipers out into the street gasping for air—and enraged at an act of desecration for which the police denied responsibility. By Wednesday, after five nights of violence, more than three dozen arrests had been made as the rioting spread from community to community—one official even warned that it threatened to become an "insurrection." And France's political class was embroiled in a fierce debate over how best to put a lid on their boiling banlieues." 11-05 Education in France (Wharton Group and Mills) Provides information on French education, language, and culture. 12-99 France (CountryReports.org) Provides a profile by topic, including Economy, Defense, Geography, Government, People, National Anthem, Lyrics and Related Links.
