Claimant: Donald Trump and other Republicans
Claim: Migrants of Muslim heritage are responsible for most of the rioting and destruction in France and Italy.
Rating: FALSE
Explanation: French authorities have not identified immigrants or Muslims as responsible for most of the rioting, nor has any single group been established as the primary source of the violence. In Italy, police said some participants were naturalized children of immigrants or foreign nationals, but officials said further investigation was needed to determine their backgrounds and motivations.
