I begrudgingly agree that I think Europe is going to take in the shorts with this... if it does come to civil war in France... that I feel will quickly digress into a Continental war...or guerrilla warfare.. which I do not think the french are really prepared to handle... the Brits on the other hand would have a tough go of it, but they are use to fighting a guerrilla war... heck they did for 30 years with the IRA...

there is one real wonderful silver lining to all this happening in france right now. just imagine if france needs fellow eu help. who would send police, troops etc etc? GERMANY. id actually think of going to paris if i could see german forces of any sort doing an official work on the streets of paris, that would be so dam cool.

This is scaring the pants off me -- a scary thing in and of itself! Am I overreacting?

A question for you all -- in all seriousness. How does a free society handle this -- other than dealing with the actual criminals and crimes? If you start to limit the freedoms of all Muslims, who's next? Yes, the Baptists, Lutherans and Amish may seem peaceful and harmless, but I recall reading some "definitions" of religious extremists during the Branch Davidian episode, and the definition could easily have been applied to me or anyone who puts God first in their lives. If we look at Islam as the enemy, what is to prevent Judaism or Christianity from being the enemy tomorrow?

How can we secure our safety without destroying our freedom?

It wouldn't have to be that hard. But they would have to be willing to become politically uncorrect and actually profile muslims. Instead of waiting to be attacked and attack back.
