France did not relent (in this particular case) to “cultural submission” ....... unlike Italy, which did.

so America is the biggest financial donor to terrorism now.

Cruz was right.

None of this happens without obama’s pushing it through.

and when the government goes so far left and so far corrupted, you get a nationalist leader who grabs the opportunity, which is Trump.

I’m hoping that I can interpret this as a sign of strength. That not every world leader feels it necessary to make accommodations for these freaks.

Can’t the Iranian just politely refuse wine?

I’m not really a wine drinker but then again I simply don’t order it.

Can’t the Iranian dude just request that HE not be served wine?

Of course not. Sharia means EVERYONE must refuse wine.

Perfect example of why leftists love Islam. They both think that if they don’t like something it should be banned. Where if we don’t like something we don’t do it.

“Of course not. Sharia means EVERYONE must refuse wine.”

Then all the Muslim poobahs drink alcohol, visit prostitutes and look at pornography on the sly. Biggest hypocrites on earth.

Muslim refugees in Germany are demanding that Germany ban alcoholic beverages. How long will we put up with this sort of behavior?

As long as we allow suicidal, liberal multiculturalists to run our countries.

This is why leftists love the muzzies so much:

They think alike, if they do not want something, they want to make sure you are not allowed to have it either.
