Seems to me that not so long ago our own government, MSM and other elites were asking the same question.
La belle France is reaping what she has sown. Tuff chitski for them.
Until they grow some b@lls and crack down on the Islamonazis in their midst, they will get NO sympathy from me.
jb6, is this a vanity post?
Read "Our Oldest Enemy: A History of America's Disastrous Relationship with France" by John J. Miller, Mark Molesky
And no, France is NOT a Christian nation... she is a secular socialist nation. Good riddance.
Wee, we should not jeer or jibe. Nay, these Frenchmen are our betters in oh so many ways...Their wine, how it breathes...And they and so much more appreciative than moi in ways multi-cultural and diverse, no?
So are we, to a large degree. What's your point?
Exactly!
The last I heard, wealthy Dutch were leaving Holland in droves.
Your sarcasm she stings...:)
We could build it in our image?
Unfortunatly Europe gave up Christanity years ago, it is part of the reason they are in this situation.
Not hapy about this, but given the fecklessness of the French, this jihad is entirely predictable.
How long till they surrende?
"I do have a concern the Islamic community in the US will watch, take notes, and then alter their strategy based on what is obviously working in France."
Riots like these only happen in slums (LA riots...etc).
There are fAR too many legal firearm owners in the small towns and suburbs of larger towns / cities in the US for this to ever happen here.
The moose-limbs would be cut in half in no time flat.
Not going to happen. The outcome is certain. God wins.
If they were headed to France they may be making other plans at the moment.
I don't know who is cheering? The press is mostly ignoring it because it doesn't fit into their tidy little liberal world view so they can't explain it away ergo ignore it is the next best thing...
After reading what is coming out of this summit in Argentina I have a strong intuition that we are really on the verge of breaking out into a major world war... everyone blames America and in the case of South America I don't get it; they made great strides only to make a major fall back in most Southern countries.
Remember Germany was considered a Christian nation too, but they were still our enemy because they allowed an evil man ,Hitler to rule.
Read carefully thought the "parisriots" keyword links and I don't think that statement is that far off.
Do not listen to the MSM, they are completely and totally clueless. Read the quotes from the Muslims themselves from the articles
Yes, and we will reap the same whirlwind if we don't learn from this.
THAT is my "point".
"French society/culture/philosophy is evil"
You are, of course, aware of the fact that the Founders got the idea of three balanced branches of government from an "evil" French philosopher named Montesquieu. The beautiful center of Washington was designed by an "evil" French architect, who was inspired by other evil French architects. How much evil there is in Gothic architecture (the riots are taking place near the very first Gothic church, St. Denis). The great 20th century Catholic novelists, Mauriac and Bernanos, were evil. So is the powerful and sublime music of Poulenc, Saint-Saens, and Faure. (I hope your church bans the evil "O Holy Night", written by Adam).
The Vichy government was evil, the collaborators were evil--but were those who resisted, at the risk of their lives? How evil were the citizens of Paris--frivilous,decadent Paris--who in 1870 ate rats rather than give in to the Prussian siege?
Chirac is evil, but would you condemn all of the US because of Bill Clinton?
