French minister says polygamy to blame for riots

The Financial Times reports:
France’s employment minister on Tuesday fingered polygamy as one reason for the rioting in the country.

Gérard Larcher said multiple marriages among immigrants was one reason for the racial discrimination which ethnic minorities faced in the job market. Overly large polygamous families sometimes led to anti-social behaviour among youths who lacked a father figure, making employers wary of hiring ethnic minorities, he explained.

The minister, speaking to a group of foreign journalists as the government stepped up efforts to improve its image with the foreign media, said: “Since part of society displays this anti-social behaviour, it is not surprising that some of them have difficulties finding work ... Efforts must be made by both sides. If people are not employable, they will not be employed.”
We did a blog entry on this subject some months ago.Does polygamy plus the combination of the welfare state lead to the destruction of private property? It appears so.France seems to be in the middle of the long process of total societal decline.From Marx to Allah.
