The repeated attacks, heavy immigration of refugees...I'm hoping for the best, but I feel like there is a powder keg here. Whether or not it is based in any fact, how this is handled and plays out is a serious concern.

How many refugee camps does France have? Let me answer you: 0

Refugees are victims of the war. If they wanted to involve violence, they would not be refugees looking for home. Why to see them as potential terrorists ?

I don't know the views and concerns in France, I've only followed the responses to the Charlie Hedbo shooting and other media incidents in France. That said, the views and conversations with in-laws in Germany, it's interesting hearing what are otherwise inclusive people being concerned about things and not supporting the refugees.

The events are most likely unrelated, but there is a habit to generalize. And escalation of that generalization is what is a concern to me.
