Many workers feel the change would be a first step in eroding France’s social benefits — which include long vacations, contracts that make it hard for employers to lay off workers and a state-subsidized health care system — in favor of “American-style capitalism.”

Europe is in a dangerous situation. On one hand, we need democracy preserved for the sake of world security. On the other hand, if the muslim immigrants neither assimilate nor are controlled through the democratic process, the nationals have too much pride to allow their countries to be destroyed, which could eventually lead to dictatorship or monarchy. I can’t imagine ethnic French, German, and English nationals allowing barbarians to take over their nations if they cannot be stopped through the democratic process. The next 10 years will be instrumental to the future of Europe as we know it. Charles Martel and Pope Urban II are rolling over in their graves.

It would not surprise me if the unspoken fact is these are mostly, if not a large proportion, of Muslim rioters, using the protests to do their work. It is a yearly happening there, especially around New Year’s. Hundreds, if not thousands, of cars are torched during that holiday...
