What’s the cause of Islamophobia, Yascha ?

[central_va]

Dear Europe, Hitler and Stalin were leftists, had nothing to do with the far right. Europe get your head out of your asses.

[hoosierham]

Hatred and fear of Muslims is entirely a rational response to the Muslim campaign to conquer the world.

[oh8eleven]

At no point in Europe’s postwar history has the far right’s influence been as pervasive as it is now.
That's because most European countries haven't been in as much danger of losing their country since the feckin' Nazis invasions.

The French are not waking the plain truth that they have clutched a viper to their breast. Likely LePen will be the leader of the right after the legislative elections.

Not giving Slute a hit to waste my time trying to glean a grain of fact from their usual Marxist agitprop.

Vive Le Pen!

"The reason is simple. In this election, France’s establishment has embraced Islamophobic ideas sanity to an unprecedented degree."

Fixed it.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Look for the markets to nosedive on Monday if this leftist wins on Sunday.

[mojito]

Yes, those Islamophobic French, how dare they react that way when some innocent Muslim just happens to find a gun and then uses it to kill police officers and little children standing outside their school. Or when peaceful mobs of bearded men just happen to congregate together for an impromptu prayer vigil and intimidate bystanders and close down Parisian streets.

Those French. They’re just a bunch of irrational bigots.

On Sunday, by almost every indication, François Hollande, who has been leading in the polls for months, will defeat Nicolas Sarkozy and become France’s next president. Hollande’s Socialist Party, which hasn’t ousted an incumbent president in over three decades, has every reason to celebrate.

France is already a socialist state, so electing a socialist will not solve their socio-economic problems. They cannot continue to give everybody everything they want by borrowing money, increasing taxes, and blaming somebody else (Bush?).

Has Spain's economy fared well with a socialist in charge? Socialists are good at spending someone else's money, but eventually they run out, vis-à-vis the economic collapse of Russia under communism.

Right-wing populism, once a fringe phenomenon, has been conquering the bastions of Europe’s political mainstream

Since the Nazi's were socialist also, I am not sure I follow the thinking.

well at least it can be said that things are Ducky in Denmark
