Several French municipalities governed by communist and left-wing majorities are considering naming a street or a square after Yasser Arafat.
The French police intelligence service, Renseignements Generaux, reportedly warned the Ministry of Interior that such initiatives might trigger heated polemics and tensions between Jews and Muslims, especially neighborhoods ridden by ethnic violence.
In several suburban cities near Paris and Lyons governed by communist mayors, large Muslim and Jewish populations live side by side.

Why not? "Rue de Merde" has a nice ring to it.

Gee, why stop at Arafat? Why not name streets in honor of Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse-Tung, Ghenges Kahn, Ayetollah Rhuhollah Khomeini, Saddam Hussein, and Idi Amin.
To: solzhenitsyn
Shouldn't the French give Osama Bin Laden the same honor?Absolutely.
Then there's Adolph, Bottassa and Idi Amin... Heroes all.

Did you ever notice how much Arafart looked/behave like the character Peter Lori played in the Movie "Red Balloon?" The original German film where Peter Lori played a pederast and murderer.

C'est une blague ou quoi?(Is this some kind of a joke?)Name a street after a terrorist? Chirac es completement débile!(Chirac is a complete imbecile!)C'est quoi la différence entre ta cravate et la queue d'un chien? La queue du chien elle cache tout le trou-du cul.(What's the difference between your tie and a dog's tail? The dog's tail completely hides the a@@hole.)

Why stop at naming streets after Arafat? Why not also include Idi Amin, Osama bin Laden...and hell, why not Hitler, too?
Stupid frogs. Whoever invades their nation next has to keep them.

French consider naming streets after Arafat That's moronic! Next, some idiot is going to recommend we really embrace multi-cultural-facism and suggest that terrorist be honored with a Nobel Peace Prize!
