Hello Richard,
Well the riots are organized by young radical muslim gangs.
Its not happening in central Paris, luckily
but its in the suburbs of Paris.
This is going on usually at least twice a month
and then month after month
in many other places in France where there are suburbs
We are talking about radical Islamists
some are even traveling to Pakistan to learn how to make bombs
The world is crazy.
Thanks for your message Richard,
Bump....
Without even reading the rest of the thread, I know that's Clinton's 1998 speech of the day that Monica Lewinsky testified before the grand jury.
Oil for food scandal proves that Saddam and money corrupted people in many governments who also participated in the obstruction of intelligence and WMD inspection.
Those same governments, and the UN, were leading opponents of the War on Terror when it included Iraq. They were afraid their underhanded corruption would be discovered subsequent to the invasion of Iraq, which they have been identified with more to be named.
The freedom of millions of Iraqis, and the exposure of corruption which undermined UN sanctions intended to suppress Saddam is just some of the benefits of the prosecution of the war against Iraq.
Liberals just don't get it. The media wants us to forget it and give up. They say too many soldiers have died in vain.
Remember........ if a nation harbor terrorists they are just the same as a terrorist state on the attack. America will fight them to the last suicide bomber. When they die in vain, taking women and children with them satan laughs.
There is no desire in a virgin to serve a splattered body that murders randomly. They are all scumbag barbarians.
Pigs. Their death is not worthy of celebration.
Bump ping. I just wanted to do that.
Actually in France, there's no need to even attempt to disguise this. They all KNOW that this is a battle between disenfranchised and isolated Muslim youth, mostly of Northern African origin (Algeria).
There's a real crisis there on the separation of society. And it isn't entirely economic. It's also cultural as the Muslims do not embrace European society and vice versa.
It's very bad. Unlike the suburbs here, the suburbs there are areas to quarantine the poor Muslim. And they are not liking the indictment which is a life sentence. They do not act like conservative Muslims either.
Now about Paris. So beautiful. In all my trips there, nothing but a pure pleasure. None of the anti-Americanism I've heard about and my French is very bad. (One time a woman asked me for directions in French. Had no choice but to tell her I was from New York.)
France is no where near living up to its credo: liberty, equality, fraternity.
It has however been replaced by socialism, political correctness and corruption.
They are in deep trouble. But they do have a strong element that will not roll over to this element.
This Hungarian leader who may become the National leader is their only hope.
Yes... he is the ONLY hope : Mr. Sarkozy
There is quite a lot of French-bashing on Free Republic. Sometimes I'm amused by it, sometimes I find it annoying. People act like France is the only country in the world that is mis-managed by short-sighted politicians. It would be tragic if French culture is destroyed and replaced with an Islamofascist slave society.
I prefer Hill/Billy as two are one.
As for France, it seems to me it's a good example of style over substance - beautiful cities, lovely music, fantastic food and fashion, wonderful intellectual philosophizing - but shocking insensitivity and indifference at best to essential human values and aspirations - starting at least as far back as the guillotining of tens of thousands, through the bloody history of their attempts at colonization, including their collusion in the deaths of hundreds of thousands in Rwanda, through the deaths of almost ten thousand elderly a few summers ago in Paris and the brewing trouble with their Muslim population, its almost as though the French love of the finer things in life mesmerizes them into numbness when it comes to reverence for life itself....
Still, my wife spent some time in Paris forty years ago and agrees it's a great city - to visit maybe, but I wouldn't want to live there.....
On a personal, selfish note: Is there a brand of calvados you would recommend?
