@ Frown and Jansz: what you say may all be true, but unfortunately it's all in the perception. People in France are more likely to trust a neighbour named say Dupont or Chevalier than they will one named maybe Abdullah. Remember what happened in WW2 with the Japanese Americans? People are bound to start re-evaluating people they know who have Middle Eastern names, and that's definitely going to bleed into the recent goodwill towards immigrants, and change people's mind, especially in France and Belgium. It will probably also, as Batty mentioned, give some extra weight to the nationalist/far right parties in Europe, as they use this as an excuse, be it informed or not, to deny "bloody foreigners" entry across their borders.
