France to open its first Islamic high school
By Paul Michaud, Special to Arab News

Published on 12 December 2002

PARIS, 12 December 2002 — Although France has had an important Islamic population (a lie or Muslim fantasy, you decide) that goes back to the start of its own history, the French Muslim community will be getting its own Islamic high school — the Ecole Averroes — only next year. Indeed, inscriptions will be taken as of January, and the school will start offering courses come September, at the same time as traditional governmentally-operated French schools.

Named for the celebrated philosopher whose writings on Aristotelian metaphysics had such an enormous impact on the thought of Christian France of the Middle Ages, the school is to open for the 2003-2004 school year next Fall and will occupy a full floor of the building in Lille, France, that has heretofore served as the headquarters of the Ligue Islamique du Nord, the Muslim League of the North.

Makhlouf Mameche, the man who has fought so many years to impose the idea and who will quite appropriately become Ecole Averroes’ first director, says that as far as he’s concerned, an Islamic lycee for France was a dire necessity, a way of telling the French that the country’s Islamic community was capable of establishing its own educational institutions, just as have, for example, French Catholics, who over the years have given France an important educational infrastructure, indeed attracting students from other religions, which is something that Mameche would like to do too.

“Besides offering the identical curriculum offered by traditional French schools of the same educational level,” adds Mameche, “we’ll also provide special instruction in Islamic civilization and religion.”

And just like the Catholics and other religious communities who have officially-recognized schools in France, Mameche says that the Ecole Averroes expects to sign a contract with the French government so that the degrees it offers will be just as legitimate as those proposed by the establishments of other religions.

“...we’ll also provide special instruction in Islamic civilization and religion.”

Once the crazed Islamic psychos...oops...er..."teachers" in this so-called school have finished explaining jihad, martyrdom, 72 virgins, embassy bombings, plane-jackings, filthy Jews, eradicating Israel, wife-beating, burning women to death for speaking without permission, camel-sodomizing, etc., the rest of the school year should last about two seconds.

half the population rolled over for the Nazis (though the French Underground seemed pretty tough) ... so there's no surprise they're rolling over for Islam ... this time, the Americans will not be there to bail them out ... and they'll regret giving America the finger and embracing the likes of Yasser Arafat ... c'est fini ... (ils est fini) ...

You know, we should have guessed that France would surrender first.

We have Islamic schools funded by the US taxpayers. In addition, Mr. Bush imported a bunch of Saudi clerics at our government expenses to teach Americans how Islam is a peaceful religion. The stupidity is not only in France.

Dennis: finally some good news.

Many times in France, Muslim Youths have been injured when their crudely made explosive devices have malfunctioned, gone off early, or blown up while under construction.

Now Alhumdoolillah Baby, they can make bombs in a safe, clean lab, with the best technical help la belle France can offer. In la classe d'Histoire they can learn all about Muhammed, may Peace be Upon Him, and how evil Westerners been puttin' our Islamic people down. In la Classe de la Mathematique they can learn the rate of fire for crew-served weapons, la computation of les trajectoires, how many kilos de la plastique are necessary to bring down la Tour Eiffel, and other valuable facts.

O mais oui, les braves français, c'est une chose magnifique, ne c'est pas?

Europe is dying in an orgy of self loathing and postmodernism.

Which is exactly why the lefties site EU as the way we should be doing everything.

Just got this email-- unknown if true

Subject: The Marine - True or not, this is funny!

Naturally a U.S. Marine would be the last to take anything off anyone ----especially a Frenchman.

>From a Marine in Bosnia.

A funny thing happened to me yesterday at Camp Bondsteel (Bosnia): A French army officer walked up to me in the PX, and told me he thought we (Americans) were a bunch of cowboys and were going to provoke a war. He said if such a thing happens, we wouldn't be able to count on the support of France.

I told him that it didn't surprise me. Since we had come to France's rescue in World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the Cold War, their ingratitude and jealousy was due to surface at some point in the near future anyway.

That is why France is a third-rate military power with a socialist economy and a bunch of fa*g*ts for soldiers.

I additionally told him that America, being a nation of deeds and action, not words, would do whatever it had to do, and France's support was only for show anyway. Just like in ALL NATO exercises, the US would shoulder 85% of the burden, as evidenced by the fact that the French officer was shopping in the American PX, and not the other way around.

He began to get belligerent at that point, and I told him if he would like to, I would meet him outside in front of the Burger King and beat his ass in front of the entire Multi-National Brigade East, thus demonstrating that even the smallest American had more fight in him than the average Frenchman.

He called me a barbarian cowboy and walked away in a huff.

With friends like these, who needs enemies?

Charles Martel is rolling in his grave. It is only a matter of time until they start blowing up the cathedrals.

Oh, they will turn the shells of the cathedrals into mosques no doubt, but first they will blow the altars and tabernacles to smithereens and steal the chalices. There will be blood of both Christian and Muslim martyrs to mop up as well.

Visionaries of La Salette in 1904:

"For a period of time God will not remember Italy or France for they will have forgotten the Gospel. The evil ones will display all their malice and there will be murders even in houses. At the first blow of the sword of God which will fall, like lightning on humanity, the mountains and all nature will tremble because the disorder and the misdeeds of man will rise to the vault of heaven.

"Paris will be destroyed by fire and Marseilles will be inundated by the sea, other great cities will be destroyed by fire and razed to the ground.

The just will have to suffer much: their prayers, penitence, and tears will rise to heaven; all the people of God will pray for pardon and sing misericords,

“Besides offering the identical curriculum offered by traditional French schools of the same educational level,” adds Mameche, “we’ll also provide special instruction in Islamic civilization and religion.”

In other words, they'll teach them that Jihad is right, America and Israel are criminal states which deserve terror attacks, and that Muslims should never be ashamed of themselves, no matter how horrible their crimes. And it will teach them to lie and believe wild conspiracy theories--pretty much everything Osama teaches people at his camps, short of actually showing them how to fire the AKs.
