You could not be more wrong. Find out more about the FN. They are more conservative than most Republicans.

While US Republicans pretend that the immigration problem doesn't exist, the FN is on French TV and in the newspapers calling uncompromisingly for a complete end to Third World immigration, forcible defense of French borders from illegals and a reaffirmation of traditional French culture (Christianity, agriculturalism, integral families, rolling back of sexual license, etc.)

While US Republicans are in love with the federal government the FN, in a much more centralized society than ours, calls for local control over education, taxation, etc.

The Eurocrats will blame the Jews for all their problems as they did seventy years ago.

Yes, that is one possibility, and the most likely if Muslim rage remains fairly narrowly targeted on Jews and Jewish interests.

On the other hand, if the death and destruction spreads to venues that are clearly and uniquely French, then I can see a French response tries to take some very strong measures against the perps. And I'll be interested to see how effective they are.

You are correct. He bulldozed a McDonald's. Then, some imitators of his took it a step further: Communists in Northern France killed a woman working the drive-in window at a McDonald's in Normandy. Bove is a Syndicalist from Southern France.

He managed to live down the copycat crime by saying that while it was okay to destroy other people's private property it was not okay to kill people outright, maybe.

He is now idolized by the Chomskyan left in the US and the antiglobalism protestors (i.e. Maoists) in Europe. Apparently he's trying to extend his franchise into the Middle East to improve his speaking fees.

Two thoughts about this article:

1) You cannot allow your country to be overrun with immigrants from the third world and expect that they won't bring their baggage with them. France is now a battleground of the middle east conflict precisely because of their (and, for that matter, our) idiotic immigration prolicies. I have a really wild idea: how about France for the French?

2) The victims of this most recent wave of attacks (the French Jewish community) has been most vocal in its attacks on right wing Frenchmen who have opposed continued third world immigration. Every time a Le Pen rises to speak out against the tidal wave, the lefties (many of whom are Jewish) have a fit and start using the usual "racism, etc" catcalls. Looks like this chicken is coming home to roost.

Oh this is just too rich.

France--overlord of the new European Superstate--couldn't cut off ties with her cousin Austria fast enough a few years back when Haider's party was elected. Why? Well, "xenophobia" of course. You see, Austria simply wasn't "European" enough to participate in the EU.

And now France is the new killing field for European Jewry.

No surprise, given that more people attend Mosque than Mass in France now, anyway. I guess we should be grateful for this statement from the French. They may even beat out Turkey as the world's most moderate Muslim state.

Pascal was a Port Royaliste and a semiJansenist. Not precisely mainstream.

Of course, he had no desire to cause a rift in the Church and could not have foreseen the abuses which would arise after his death. He was within the limits of orthodoxy, but not in the mainstream.

Descartes never technically overstepped the bounds, either. One of the biggest problems modern critics have with Descartes, amusingly, was that he "remained trapped all his life in the Thomistic problematic".

Only France would consider a terrorist attack as the victim's fault.

You haven't looked in on DU lately have you?...

Let's see, in the past year there have been 400+ attacks on Jewish facilities in France. So, this is then a "Arab-Jewish Battlegroud"? One side is attacking, but it's still the Jews fault. Creeps.

Were those 400+ attacks by Muslims or by neo-Nazi groups or ??? Or to come at the question from another angle, does the current spike in reports of unrest represent a true deterioration or a heightened interest in an existing situation? Just asking.

You can only import one side of a party at war, not both. If you do you import the conflict itself. In a sense the attack on the WTC has everything to do with the US allowing the immigration of two conflicting parties into the US.

We have immigrants from both sides of several different conflicts within the US. Occasionally they go after each other but to the best of my knowledge, nothing that can be compared to 911.

That being said, it seems more likely to me that bin Ladin's real problem is with the House of Saud. Striking directly at the House of Saud is not feasible right now, but we support the House of Saud, so we become a target. And the Palestinian issue is merely a cover, sufficient for the naivete that runs rampant in the Middle East... Corrupt and despotic Arabic kingdoms are the real problem.

Right-wing pro-Israeli activists clashed \\

Reuters is too "objective" to use the word "terrorists" when referring to people who deliberately target and kill innocent civilians for political objectives.

But it has no problem using a slippery label like "right wing" in a context where it has absolutely no definable meaning. I mean, I we all know that Hitler was right wing (according to the leftists), so it amazing to learn that he would have been "pro-Israeli."

No bias here.
