Islam is a cult of death. Everywhere it goes, death, mayham, violence, and slaughter follow.

You put your finger on it. And as usual, when things fall apart in Europe, someone has to come in to save their skins. France has nukes and extensive nuclear power plants, so the US and Britain can't afford to allow Muslims to take over.

LOL. I've been looking at some of the domestic reporting, and while my French ain't as good as it used to be, the French media doesn't seem to be using the word, either.

I did not know that expression of the tiger. I shall have to use it....it seems so appropriate.

France is paying for its weakness....
Were France to have follow America in its war on terror, the Muslims would be behaving...they saw France stand against America as weakness not strengh. (hope i make sense/)

This evening is supposed to be the night the Islamists go on a rampage. The last few days were only an appetizer of what is to come.

This is the end of Ramadan

Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush...
        Surah IX:5

And slay them wherever ye find them ... Such is the reward of disbelievers.
        Surah II:191

Yep. The press makes it sound like it would all be better if Radio Shaque, Sept/Onze and Super Huit had better paying jobs.

The French media can not say the words "MUSLIM TERROR" as the French media has been a great supporter of the Palestinian Intifada, the Iraqi insurgency and other Muslim murderous activities.

There is an expression i learnt while learning English which to me seems appropriate...."WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND".

THe French media TF1 has stopped all forums about the riots, ooops , the minor vandalism in France.
TF1 was being innundated with messages against Islam and they could not allow it to be printed for fear of MUSLIM retaliation.
Defending MUSLIMS does you no good, an infidel is an infidel at the end.

What's worrying is the fear that in the short run, France will continue to yield to Muslim demands and threats in hopes that all this will just 'go away'. But if this isn't positive reinforcement, I don't know what is!

Someone wrote an essay published in a French newspaper a while back and posted on FR...It could have been, and probably was T. Dalyrymple...detailing the demographics of an increasing Muslim population, the drop in the French birthrate and belief in Christianity, and French blindness to what all that meant. The author said he expected those with means to flee. We're already seeing this in the Netherlands, where many with the money to do so are leaving the country. It's mind-boggling. At first glance you'd think France would simply put a stop to Muslim takeover attempts, violent or not. But they've made so many mistakes with their immigration policies.

It's telling -- empty French cathedrals and Muslim rage when a tear gas canister explodes near a mosque. You have to wonder what it will take for the French to wake up and put a stop to this. They have to care deeply about something.

I suggested to a colleaugue of mine ( a lefty) that Ariel Sharon should offer to support the Muslim Intifada in France .
Would be such a kind gesture of Israel to financially support it, after all, France and the rest of Europe were generous to Arafat.
Will therefore put an end to the belief that Israel is anti-muslims......

I like the way you think.

It must be Americans doing all this, afterall the French told us American Imperialism is their greatest threat. Islam extremist are a peaceful bunch.

It's hard feeling sympathy for cowardly, multiculturally brain-dead, liberal Frenchmen. I'm trying, I'm trying.

They are demanding that the Imans and Clerics take charge of the security.....Which seems to have the approval of de Villepin."

This sounds a lot like what we allowed in Fallujah--let the insurgents police themselves. And we all saw how well that worked.

Unfortunately, I think appeasement will win the day in France and elsewhere for the near-mid future. Because the measures you need to take to solve this problem are pretty ugly. But by not paying the Piper now, France is guaranteeing that it's children will have to fight a civil war later.

Cathedrals are empty all over Europe. I spoke to a young man in German whose wife recently had a baby. I asked him if they were getting the baby baptized. He said no and told me they're atheists. He was matter of fact about it.

Like good little socialists, all they care about it their health care and retirement benefits.
