MUSLIMS' OMINOUS WARNING TO FRANCE

March 17, 2004 -- France is investigating terrorist threats from a shadowy Muslim group vowing to retaliate for a national ban on wearing headscarves in schools, officials said yesterday.

France's interior ministry said it was taking seriously a letter, sent to several newspapers, that vowed "to plunge France into terror and remorse and spill blood outside its frontiers."

[RJL]

And when the murdering fanatics take out say the louve and we turn our backs on france and say so?

We’ll stand by France as they stood by America.

The US will proudly send "inspectors" to France for 12 years and give them continuous criticism advise on what they are doing wrong.

[Bonaparte]

"What really shocked me here is not that people choose to vent their anger of frustration at my country by saying "Oh, boy, I hope there'll be a bombing". It's that they were ready to condone and even enjoy a terrorist act, anywhere, and actively wished for it."

"...I'd gladly see Mr de Villepin ousted by a furious mob, and then rolled into tar and feathers..."
_________________________________________________________________

You are shocked that others might condone and enjoy a terrorist act -- then, in the very next breath, you state that you would be glad to see a lawless mob seize a man and subject him to the second- and third-degree burns of tarring.

Even a child could see the contradiction.

[Atlantic Friend]

And I'll gladly see the Foreign Minister exposed to a severe allergy to feathers, too. That's how bad I am. I'll send him your regards, Bonny.

[gatorbait]

Oh ,I've not seen it in awhile..Bet they do beat Jaques Chirak to death, don't they? Hey, the Gendarmes still cracking down on the Roumans?

[Bonaparte]

I share your disdain for Monsieur Vilepain, but to subject a man to feather allergy seems excessive, even by my standards.

[dr_who_2]

The ban on headscarves is wrong.

I agree with you. As for France being a pushover, my theory is that they're a pushover only when something that really matters is at stake.

[Roy Tucker]

So would I like to see them resist, but they didn't resist in the face of the Nazis and they won't in front of this wave of Islamo-fascists. Let us wait and see and keep our powder dry.

[Roy Tucker]

God bless your fruitfulness and your contribution to civilization. May the Lord protect your sons in this time of peril.

[McGavin999]

You have the NERVE to come here and say that after what you have done to us? You're right, we don't give a damn what happens to you. Because of your cowardice we have lost soldiers we didn't need to lose. Because of YOUR lack of moral fibre we had to go to war when it could have been averted if you had just stood firm. But no, you sold out. Do you think for a minute we aren't aware of the corruption of the french politicians? Do you think we don't know that while you preened about how pure you are you were stealing the Iraqi people blind?

[Atlantic Friend]

I have the nerve to come here and say that, yes. As for morality, I think this issue is settled once and for good. People who actively wish for (and sometimes have declared they were ready to pay for) a terrorist act are definitely NOT in the position of debating MY moral fiber, thank you very much...

[Atlantic Friend]

We could make him wear a colored costume with lots of little bells on it ? Of course, you'd tell me that NOBODY will ever see the difference and you would be right, naturally. Damn.

[DeuceTraveler]

Since we were all interested what this means for the future of Europe, I decided to play with a timeline for the next month or so. I guess I'm just bored:



March 11th, 2004 – An Al Queda backed terrorist group detonates multiple bombs in Madrid, Spain killing more than 200 people and injuring more than 1,400 others.

March 14th, 2004 – Socialist Jose Zapetero, who promises to pull Spanish troops from Iraq, wins the Spanish elections in a surprise upset. Before the Madrid bombings the conservative party was expected to win. Notable quotes of the time:
Chief of the European Commission, Romano Prodi, told Italy's La Stampa, "It is clear that using force is not the answer to resolving the conflict with terrorists."
"The war in Iraq was a disaster, the occupation of Iraq is a disaster," Zapatero.
And numerous quotes by the Spanish man-on-the-street hoping that with the Socialists in power Al Queda would stop their attacks on Spain.

March 15th, 2004 – The “Servants of Allah, the Powerful and Wise One” threaten France with promises of attacks if the ban on headscarves is not rescinded. The government asks the populace not to panic. Theories begin to brew on the socialist left that Bush allowed the attack in Madrid to win the conservatives their election, but that his plans backfired. Other theories in France abound that the French conservative party is behind the headscarf threats in order to scare people into their party.

March 17th, 2004 – The “Servants of Allah, the Powerful and Wise One” begin to test French anti-terrorist procedures in Paris by planting suspicious objects around the city and observing law enforcement agents.

March 18th, 2004 – Secretly, the Spanish Socialist party and Al Queda representatives begin to test the waters on a future cease-fire agreement.

March 19th, 2004 – An explosive device is found outside an administrative building in Paris. It is easily detected and disarmed, but the French government gets the message. News of the bomb does not reach most major news outlets in France as the government tightens control of the story in its nearly state run media. Because of the regional elections in two days, French officials contact “Servants of Allah, the Powerful and Wise One” sympathizers in the French Council for the Muslim Religion (CFCM) and agree to rescind the headscarf ban in the following months if there are no attacks that can threaten the elections.

March 21st, 2004 – The French center-right party of Chirac maintains power in the regional elections despite a slight bump to the socialist popularity coming from the Socialist Party victories in Spain the previous week. No terrorist violence is reported.

April 1st, 2004- The Abu Hafs al-Masri – Zapatero Armistice is secretly conducted. The Spanish Socialist Party plans to remove all support on the war against terrorism and actively follow an anti-American, anti-“Imperialist” foreign policy position. Abu Hafs al-Masri and Al Queda agree to cease their attacks “while they maintain satisfied of Spain’s compliance” to their demands.

April 7th, 2004 – Musharraf in Pakistan evades another assassination attempt on his life. At the same time, the joint American-Pakistani operation along the Afghan border grinds to a halt with little success and an only an angered, mobilized to show for it. There is suspicion that sympathizers in the government tipped off Taliban and Al Queda members. All but three dozen sought militants easily evade capture. Many more tribal supporters and twenty Pakistani soldiers are killed in clashes.

April 20th, 2004 – Clashes with non-Iranian regime enforces and civilians erupt in Gorgan, Iran when enforces attack a woman for revealing her face. Five civilians are killed and many more injured. A peaceful protest demonstrates against the deaths in Tehran and consists of nearly 100 people. The demonstrators disperse within an hour and before the regime can react, causing fear in the administration that the protests in Tehran are becoming better organized.

April 23rd, 2004 - The French government opens talks with the French Council for the Muslim Religion (CFCM) to discuss rescinding of the ban on religious symbols such as headscarves. Muslim leaders among the CFCM will soon accuse the French government of not taking the issue seriously and stalling.

April 24th, 2004 – Several Syrian publicists are arrested for distribution of pamphlets demanding reform in the government.

DO NOT TAKE THIS AS STANDING UP FOR FRANCE!. while france is a country beneath contempt, i feel they will get hit, and i offer my condolences to them. the french will strike back..the difference is this tho..and this is important...they will blame the US in their twisted french way, then make a side deal with the terrorist after a lame show of force. count on it!

As long as you support the freedom for kids to wear swastikas to school also --- they wouldn't need to wear them --- it's a freedom of expression thing I guess --- but if one can be banned the Muslim radical symbols can also be banned. Islamics are just a different form of Nazis.

[AppyPappy]

Four words for France: Cap it u late.

[Physicist]

As long as you support the freedom for kids to wear swastikas to school also

That's a very telling question: the key words there are "to school". Schools are not the same thing as society at large. They are populated by children who do not have the same rights as adults in society. Do I think kids should be allowed to wear swastikas in school? No. Do I think adults should be allowed to wear swastikas on the street? Yes, I do (the sons of bitches).

Do you think that every citizen, in ordinary society, should be treated by the State as it treats children in a classroom?

[FITZ]

I guess France isn't at war --- when we were at war with the Nazis, I doubt we allowed swastikas to be worn on the streets by adults or by children at school. The head gear shouldn't be the big issue though --- immigration from hostile countries would be the bigger issue. Same goes for us --- it shouldn't be about limiting freedom for our enemies after they get here but about not letting them come in the first place.

[Mamzelle]

I'm afraid I disagree about this one. The hijab works as a kind of "marker", like grafitti does for gangsters. Law enforcement concentrates on covering/cleaning grafitti when it is sprayed--and it is surprising how controlling the symbols also helps control the gangsterism. When the number of veils in a community reaches a critical mass, the Muslims are emboldened. The more veils, the more power. Eventually, like in Belgium, the unveiled women are harassed by Muslim men for being unveiled "whores"--and these are not Muslim women.

We could run a betting pool on how soon Chiraq will surrender, but I would like to see the veil banned in public schools in the US, too. Any in your high school? There are two in mine...

[FITZ]

Actually I agree with you --- if we ban Nazi swastikas, then the same should go for the symbols of Islamic radicalism. There are Muslim women here --- from Iran --- who will agree the chador and burka are only symbols of the radicals --- they are required when they return to Iran for a visit to dress in brown rags and cover their faces because that country is controlled by radical Islamics ---but here with freedom they dress in modest western clothes and aren't afraid to show their faces.

Now that you have finished dessing France and Europe, take a deep breath, and look in the mirror! 1) Bush calls Islam religion of peace 2) Bush refuses to curb Moslem immigration 3) Bush comply with the Saudis taking over our prisons; proselyte to our prisoners and converting them to Islam, yet we are not allowed to even enter their country with one bible. Jewish Americans cannot even step in Saudi Arabia. In the American Saudi relation, guess who the bitch is. Sometimes the truth hurt.

It is funny how all the bravado that we display turns into mush one it comes to the real enemies, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.
