How's fighting Muslim sectarianism going for France?

[Cicero]

Do French politicians always go off the rails when they have a chance to win an election?

[SolidWood]

The French state is an extremely secular state and after the French revolution there was reluctance by religious communities, of course also the Jewish, to be placed under state regulations.

Napoleon also desired for the Jews to completely assimilate, while many Jews wanted to retain their distinctiveness and costums.

A rabbinical gremium had to assure Napoleon that the Jewish community would be in conformity with French laws in order to get equal rights.

Fillon is referring to this... I detect no antisemitism here. Who is going to deny that many religious Jews were and are vehemently rejecting assimilation? See for example the attitude of many Haredi Jews towards the Israeli state.

Fillon did not elaborate on when he believed French Jews did not wish to respect the law.

When a person makes a general claim, but refuses to cite specific examples to back up their claim, that suggests that their general claim is false.

We need to combat this sectarianism

Can start with napalm and TNT.

[arthurus]

To settle the problem with the Moslem jihadis France should expel the Jews?

[Hugin]

And they call Le Pen and anti-Semite?

[EinNYC]

Wow, this guy hit the Triple Play: Anti-semite, Liar, and Complete Moron.

Claiming that the Jews will not follow a country's laws or form a 5th column with the country's enemies is as old as the exodus from Egypt.

Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we.

Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so get them up out of the land.

Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses.

But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew.

I certainly hope that France regards this loser with the extreme scorn which he deserves.
