He's dreaming, Hollande might be able to stir a bit of support for French boots on the ground in Syria and Iraq from this bloodbath but it would soon dry up, and no-one else in the west is going to get involved in that quagmire. As for an all inclusive government in Syria involving Sunni and Shia representatives...well...I guess it would be worth a try but it would probably end in disaster. You'd need very special representatives in order to prevent it breaking down immediately, and I don't think that these special people existing in the Middle East right now, or indeed anywhere in the world.

It can't be easy, especially if you are obviously Muslim in regards to clothing and the like. Likewise, thanks to ignorance, if you're a practicing Sikh or Hindu, you will have to be extra vigilant just in case someone thinks you're a Muslim and comes for you. It's already happened quite a few times, even know Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims have never gotten on.
