"The French searching for God. I did not realize this was happening."
I didn't either. Perhaps it's because nothing else has worked for them. Or perhaps it's concern about Islam taking over what's left of their culture.

Wake up Europeons:
It seems to me, that in some ways, Judaism and Christianity are more "feminine," "passive," and "victimhood" based religions. But they're also the religions that built civilization and the modern world. Whereas Islam in it's aggressiveness is "masculine," "domineering," and the antithesis of civilization. Let me explain...
Go back in time for a moment, to an unspecified past. Islamic hordes go out to rape, pillage and plunder, to conquer in the name of Allah. Islam, started out very much as an Arab Imperialist Movement. In war, the men get killed and the women get raped. If a Muslim grabs and rapes a Jewish woman; according to Islam, the child born is a Muslim, the aggressor's religion. But according to Judaism, the child is Jewish. The same thing happens when the Muslims attack Christendom. When a Muslim grabs and rapes a Christian woman; according to Islam, the child born is a Muslim. The woman might be forced to repeat the Islamic mantra of "Allah is the only god, and Mohammed is his prophet" and be formally converted, but if the woman wants to, she can still secretly adhere to Christian belief, and raise her child as such, because Christianity is "belief-oriented".
There you have it, Islam, the imperialist ideology, with the "who is a Muslim question" perfectly suited for conquest, whereas Judaism and Christianity follow an approach that preserves identity in the face of aggression.

To: jimbergin
Most secular? France is something like 80% Roman Catholic
To: orionblamblam
Ethnic Jews, whose hearts are now Christian.
It's really not that hard to understand.
Ethiopians for Jesus. Canadians for Jesus. Koreans for Jesus...
See?
Shalom.

You still don't get it John. Islam is the religion of peace and don't you forget it before it eats you alive.
To: auburntiger; John Lenin
Christianity's past wasn't always so peaceful...
Any religion can be perverted by man-
