My impression is that there's a muslim community in this area.

1. Irony. "Villejuif" = Jewish Town

[brooklynite]

2. Per Wikipedia, this is a misnomer

"The name Villejuif can be literally translated as "Jewish Town", but the area has no historical connections with the Jewish population of Paris. The name is believed to be a corruption of a Gallo-Roman name, Ville Juvius, meaning the villa of Juvius"

[Mass]

3. The French media speaks of 2 cars

Plenty of other problems : a car ran into a group of people paying homage to the CH victims somewhere outside Paris.

A large protest will happen Sunday . Marine Le Pen and the FN have been asked to stay away from the march.
