I wonder if many people like him still live in France.

a Europe without France is like a bicycle without a chain

And a Europe with France is still, at best, a bicycle, when the rest of the world has moved on to autos, aircraft, and spacecraft.

France is a perpetual thorn in the side, an nation of never ending nit pickers, who take the other side of any argument just to be French.

[Billthedrill]

France has had gangs before - nasty ones. The Apaches, for example, and no, I'm not talking about American Indians. They have had crime before. They have had violence before.

They have had the determination before to deal with it. Do they now? I wonder, in an off-hand sort of way, but I don't really care much if they don't. I don't disdain the common Frenchman at all, but his government and his universities have been taken over by pretentious fops who persist in the illusion that the greatest threat to France is McDonald's and Disneyland. Would that it were.

I'm personally sick of the French snotty-a$$ed attitude, but an islamo-fascist european nation would be bad for all of us.

I imagine the French historical record of xenophobic brutality will repeat itself...then again, France is now a secular nation...hmmmmmmmmm.

France needs to bring back the guillotine for these islamo scum . Start with Mr. Chirac .

An interesting bit from The Corner at NR on how all the French are now dhimmi:

WHY AN INTIFADA IN FRANCE? [John Derbyshire]
An acquaintance of mine -- French, currently resident in North Africa -- sent a long post about the French riots to an email group I belong to. It is a fascinating post, but much too long to paste here. I did think, though, that the following passage would interest NRO readers, so with his permission, I pass it on.

It is from a passage headed: "Why an Intifada in France?" It is among a long list of reasons given as answers to the question.

"The Iraq war: as I had noticed very strongly in Tunisia a little more than 2 years ago, the opposition of France to intervention in Iraq has been perceived as a sign of weakness, and French are since considered as Dhimmis. The change of attitude from Arabs against French has been dramatic: now I know problems of security in Tunisia, and even in the French planes to go and come from there, and in Nice (French Riviera) Airport! This opposition, probably motivated by the money earned in Oil For Terror program and by threats from Saudi Arabia and Iran, has marked the end of France as a Western country (whatever one thinks about the Iraq war per se!)."

"France has contributed so much to the velocity of our civilization. (Now, a Europe without Italy, on this analogy, would be like a chain without the bicycle.)"

My---how ridiculous. Italy was contributing to European civilization when the French were still wearing bear-skins.

There was this little organization called the ROMAN EMPIRE, and later the CATHOLIC CHURCH that made just "slight" contributions thereto.

And no, I'm not "of Italian heritage".

[samtheman]

The solution of the old Catholic France was, over the centuries, that of Charles Martel: victor at Tours in 732 A.D., where the advance of Islam on Western Europe was stopped. It consisted in a frank realization that two civilizations were clashing, where only one could prevail. The choice was relatively simple: victory over the invaders, or death and servitude.

What is the percentage of the French population who probably believes that the current choice is victory or death? Can the question be answered by looking at various election results?

Ah, yes, the good old days -- when the French countryside was warmed and lighted by the fires of burning Protestants....
