The editorial came in the wake of the Islamist attack on Charlie Hebdo magazine, AFP reported.
"Voices say that what Western developed societies have gone through is payback as it is their historical acts of slavery and colonialism which led to their current demographic structures,” said the Global times.
The French agency described the newspaper as "close to China’s ruling Communist Party," and as "often taking a nationalistic tone."
“When calm is restored, if the magazine holds on to its stance on Islam, it will put the French government in a difficult position and it will become a symbol of a clash of civilisations in Europe. The immigrant issue has bred ultra-extremist right-wingers in Europe, making conflicts largely insolvable,” the editorial was quoted.
The paper said that the recent solidarity rally in Paris “can hardly produce significant results despite its impressive scale," adding that it "looked like feeding a seriously ailing person with painkillers."
The official Xinhua news agency said in a commentary on Monday that the incident “should not be simplified as attacks on press freedom, for even the freedom itself has its limits, which does not include insulting, sneering or taunting other people’s religion or beliefs," and added:
“It is high time for the Western world to review the root causes of terrorism, as well as the limitation of press freedom, to avoid more violence in the future."
AFP said in its report that China "strictly controls its own domestic media and has recently launched one of its biggest campaigns to silence critics in years, detaining and jailing dozens of human rights activists, lawyers, academics and journalists."
According to the agency, "Beijing has both condemned terrorism and argued that Charlie Hebdo’s provocative cartoons were an invitation to violence."

"We have pursued policies of immigration at a rate that has made it frankly impossible for many new communities to integrate and for that I think we have to hold our hands up. Perhaps worst of all we have been guilty of weakness – lack of courage – of lack of assertion of who we are as people," Nigel Farage said during a debate in the European Parliament, as quoted by the Independent.
The UKIP leader insisted that "actually our [Western] political decisions have led to much of what has happened" recently in Paris. The politician pointed to the fact that the EU foreign policy in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria have resulted in "very deep resentments" among Muslims living in European states.
"We've turned a blind eye within many of our minority communities to practices that would not be tolerated in the rest of the population. Indeed, we've allowed preachers of hate to go around saying things that are totally unacceptable," he said as quoted by the Independent....................http://sputniknews.com/europe/20150113/1016854215.html
