My guess is that arabs are treated as mexicans are treated in the US. It 
has nothing to do with the place or time but with the people.

You import people because they make you rich with their cheap labour but 
after 10 years or so they have installed thmeselves and their kids are 
going to schooll. When depression hits, guess who the easiest victime is.

Arabs are put into ghettos, like black in the states. Generosity is low 
(I'm not talking about money) and when an angry arabs makes it up, you 
have on angry son of a b.. that is going to show he goes for. Fortunately 
what you can't muzel with force (France is still the country of free 
expression and freedom and (I'm no french remember) the US has a a few 
generation before it before it reaches the same level of politic 
maturity)) so what you can't muzel with force you can bribe with money (by 
the way the most intelligent move of the US during the Irak war (if there 
was any inteligent move that is) was to bribe officer in the Iraki army.

Well arabs are not _very_ badly treated by the French. (did you mean the 
people or the government). If it's the people you meant, there are 
frictions but since the arabic community is rather large, you can't just 
go and lynch . The governement does what it can to make everybody's life 
painfull. France is France you can't put people in camps, you can't 
discriminate in the legislation, etc... but it could definitely be better.

Now I haven't live in France the last 10 years, things might have changed 
but I doubt it.

A propos France, I there was a mistake Bush did and the americans were 
stupid enough to do, it was to think that France was the ennemy of the US 
(hopefully this has taught a lesson to the French and they'll keep kicking 
you ass in the future). French have always been a true friends to the US a 
friend that dare to say when things go too long. Your lose.
