While it is necessary to have a police and military response to the tragic events in Paris, there must also be a plan going forward to make Muslim (and other marginalized) youth feel more incorporated into French society.

Addressing these issues, if there is a desire to do so, can help reduce the numbers of people joining extremists groups of all sorts.
