The French have nothing to do with it. Islamic garbs (raghead/beards...) is something new. It is like: OK America: you want to fight the Moslem terrorists, I love the Moslem terrorists, and I identify with them so openly, and I defy you to touch me - I will scream religious oppression! The reason we are in this mess IS SIMPLY because we failed to recognize the incursion of the Islamic movement as a fifth column throughout the West. Our government is very STUPID to defend people who are rubbing salt in our wounds.

Islamic garbs (raghead/beards...) is something new.

It really is not all that new. I remember seeing them around before 9/11 too.

Be careful about letting your anger towards one group turn into hatred towards an entire population. I can sympathize with your sentiments, but I also know that this is the type of knee-jerk reaction that can bite us in the backside later on. We must be cautious about small things such as this personally. It gives our enemies fodder to label us as bigotted reactionaries, which in the end only hinders our cause.
