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/)
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.
