My original thought on this was that it was pretty stupid to say that just having Muslims that practice their culture is destroying France, etc., and I still stand by that. I can't see calling this feast or whatever it is a destruction of culture because they kill some sheep. Civil rights are a good thing.

If she were railing against people for trying to set up their own court system that bypasses the what the Europeans already have in place I think it would make a lot more sense...

And look how well Chirac--a suspected crook and known socialist--and his former government handled Muslims in France in recent years:

6/4/2008 4:07:58 PM

Obama is the United States version of Chirac. We are screwed.

6/4/2008 4:20:21 PM

^^That wasn't just immigrants. That was also younger Frenchies upset with the economy.

6/4/2008 4:23:33 PM

^^ Yeah, many continually howl that we should be more like Europe--the Chirac-Schröder Europe. But upon closer inspection, I say no thanks. In addition, parts of Europe are becoming more conservative to deal with the mess left behind by the socialists.

An example:

French ruling party demands end of 35-hr work week

Quote :

"PARIS – President Nicolas Sarkozy's ruling centre-right party demanded on Monday the abolition of France's 35-hour work week, taking aim at the controversial labor law 10 years after its introduction by a Socialist government."

And if you want to pay around $10 a gallon for gas, simply adopt the ways of European socialists:

Quote :

"By comparison with North America, Europeans have a lot to protest. The Economic Union's 37 countries impose a value-added tax (VAT) of 19% to gasoline prices, which is in addition to local government taxes, making for a total government take of more than ¤0.60, or 90¢ per litre. In Britain, the price of gasoline is £1.20, or $2.40 per litre and more than $9 per U. S. gallon. Imagine the protests in North America if we were paying those kinds of prices, with more than one-half of the price going to governments."

^ Tell that to these guys, you socialist scum:

France stunned by rioters' savagery

Quote :

"IN retrospect, it was not a good idea to have left his pistol at home. Called to the scene of a traffic accident in the Paris suburbs last Sunday, Jean-François Illy, a regional police chief, came face to face with a mob of immigrant youths armed with baseball bats, iron bars and shotguns. What happened next has sickened the nation. As Illy tried to reassure the gang that there would be an investigation into the deaths of two teenagers whose motorbike had just collided with a police car, he heard a voice shouting: 'Somebody must pay for this. Some pigs must die tonight!' The 43-year-old commissaire realised it was time to leave, but that was not possible: they set his car ablaze. He stood as the mob closed in on him, parrying the first few baseball bat blows with his arms. An iron bar in the face knocked him down. 'I tried to roll myself into a ball on the ground,' said Illy from his hospital bed. He was breathing with difficulty because several of his ribs had been broken and one had punctured his lung. His bruised and bloodied face signalled a worrying new level of barbarity in the mainly Muslim banlieues, where organised gangs of rioters used guns against police in a two-day rampage of looting and burning last week. Not far from where Illy was lying was a policeman who lost his right eye after being hit by pellets from a shotgun. Another policeman displayed a hole the size of a 10p coin in his shoulder where a bullet had passed through his body armour. Altogether 130 policemen were injured, dozens by shotgun pellets and shells packed with nails that were fired from a homemade bazooka. It prompted talk of urban 'guerrilla warfare' being waged on French streets against the forces of law and order."

What the fuck are you on today? You make broad range generalizations. Jesus, Old Man, is Alzheimer's setting in this early?

^^^Anyone left of Jesse Helms is a Socialist to him.

^They eat at night, so it tricks the birds into thinking it is night time.

And just to prove how much of a fascist (if you can throw socialist around with impunity, I can do the same) hooksaw is, here is another link about the STUDENT protests

http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/0,1518,406865,00.html

Quote :

"Student Riots Shake France to the Core By Mathieu von Rohr It's youth against the establishment in France as university students battle a planned labor market reform. Just as in 1968, the revolt threatens to paralyze the entire nation. With a sluggish economy, though, France desperately needs labor market improvements. The demonstrations on Saturday began largely peacefully. Over a million people took to the streets of France to voice their disapproval of labor market reforms pushed through parliament and set to go into force in April. Though much bile was reserved for the man most responsible for bringing about the reform -- Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin -- the demonstrators were largely peaceful. At the beginning at least. By the time the last protesters had gone home, the streets in parts of Paris were once again trashed with cars still smoldering, shops burned out and dozens of protesters receiving treatment in local hospitals. Some 59 were arrested in the French capital -- with police seen beating youths before the famed Sorbonne University in Paris before throwing them into vans."

^^^ I say yes. It's all relative, of course.

Quote :

"His economic policies, based on dirigiste, state directed ideals, stood in opposition to the laissez-faire policies of the United Kingdom, which Chirac famously described as 'Anglo-Saxon ultraliberalism'."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Chirac

Quote :

"As a young man, Chirac was a communist activist, and of course, this was used against him in his early political life. Before he became a prominent French leader, his ancient commie connections cause him some difficulty getting past U.S. Customs and visiting the United States."

I love how you take all the riots in France for the year and associate them only with the Muslim cites

6/4/2008 6:21:03 PM

^so you are saying it wasn't the muslims causing the problems in those riots?
