What is this world turning into? It was UK then France and now Australia. It looks like globalization doesn’t work out as well as it looks in the paper. But one thing that is common in these riots is Arab or Muslim population’s involvement. Like thugged out mentioned, muslims don’t try to assimilate with their host country’s culture. When they immigrate to a different society they bring along their baggage and sideline themselves. Then later they start riots protesting they have been neglected by the government of the country they chose to move into. There are big populations of Chinese, Indians and people of other nations in these countries and yet they do not riot. Some cultures are just prone to violence.
