They need the muzzies to provide the productive tax base for their gold plated pensions, but expect them to come in and start acting like Frenchmen (or Frenchwomen, as the case may be). This won’t end well.

LOL The French are big talkers but not much on action. Even if the jammies are banned, they are not going to enforce their own law. It’s rather like believing obamination’s “transparency” jive.

Maybe the French are not so off the mark.
The person pictured here may be a man.
Might be Bin Laden.

Just curious....Aren’t the little kids frightened when they see someone dressed in a black burqa??? Must be scary for the little ones.
