Burka backlash
thesun ^

Posted on 07/02/2009 10:30:16 AM PDT by JoeProBono

FRENCH officials were on alert last night after a group linked to al-Qaeda threatened to retaliate over criticism of the burka.

The Algeria-based group issued a statement on Islamic websites vowing to “seek vengeance”.

It followed comments by French President Nicolas Sarkozy last week in which he said the veils would not be welcome in France.

Muslim robes may even be banned in public there. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said last night: “French authorities reaffirm their determination to fight terrorism.”

The Frenchmen sent a cowering apology letter begging forgiveness... “Please don't take our country. Please allow us to live and make our cheesy sauces”

In the French’s defense - at least they do not elect muslims to run their country.

Oh, they did? Can you post a link?

(Contrast Sarkozy’s response to the Burqa with our own Presidents in Cairo. We are being set up to take in all these “religious refugees” the Europeans are about to toss out of their continent.)

You’re describing Obama’s America more than France, so, the joke’s on you!
