... However, the society they live in doesn’t have a very favorable view
of Islam. A recent survey reveals just 25% of people feel positively
about Islam. And over 60% feel Islam is incompatible in British society.

Several groups of “jeunes” disrupted the operation of the
Jaude cinema on Friday afternoon in the centre of Clermont-Ferrand. They
even caused the closure of the establishment for the evening following
attacks on the employees.
Between 4.30 pm and 6 pm, the cinema management was forced to intervene
in four of the seven screens in the complex. “Adolescents of 13 to 14
years of age were behaving badly. They were speaking loudly, using their
phones, even spitting on members of the audience”, says one of the
cinema managers.
A showing of the film “Taken 2” even had to be cancelled and reimbursed
“after these ‘jeunes’ were stirred up”. The police were warned and
turned up on site. Despite that, the pressure continued to mount. There
were several groups of ‘jeunes’, who didn’t necessarily know one
another. “Among those we had to order out of the theatres and those to
whom we denied entry, there was a small gathering in front of the cinema
doors.”
Around 6 pm, one of the managers went out, “I wanted to ask them to calm
down”. As far as calm is concerned, “he was insulted, threatened,
thrown to the ground and kicked many times. He was injured on the face
and body. A second employee who came to help him was hurt on the knee
and wrist. One of the doors was also broken,” said a member of the
management team who took the decision to close the doors around 7.30 pm
after having cancelled the 7 pm showing of James Bond. The economic loss
was significant: “We were expecting between 1000 and 1500 viewers”.
…The management of the Jaude cinema denounces what it called
identical problems “occurring repeatedly for several years now during
the two days of Eid, a festival that should be oriented towards prayer,
solidarity and joy”. The management of the Jaude cinema deny that
they are making inappropriate generalisations: “Don’t misunderstand, we
are not speaking about a Muslim problem but the lack of ability in our
society to manage this malaise in the urban estates which is overflowing
more and more from the suburbs.”
