Excerpt:
When police kicked in Mohamed Asbol's door at dawn and hauled away his son on suspicion of being an Islamist radical, he saw it as further proof that he was not considered fully French.
The 64-year-old was born in Algeria but came to France as a teenager, took French nationality, worked for decades as a welder, paid his taxes and quietly brought up his family in the northern city of Roubaix.
But, he insisted, as a friend arrived to help him fix the door on his modest red-brick terraced house, he is still seen as an outsider and he believes the policies of President Nicolas Sarkozy are reinforcing that prejudice.
