I do not think Europe has any lessons to learn from Islamic countries.

Kristopher.

Yeah so to get back at those racists French who treat OUR PEOPLE so badly, we;ll blow up a Hotel or 2 in Jordan.

(And they wonder why Isralies are at the forefront of Medicine, Engineering and Technology and they are at the forefront of NOTHING but blasse terrorism).

The message I read? "Muslims follow a religion that preaches that anyone who disagrees with them can be enslaved or killed, so it's probably a good idea not to let any into your country in the first place, much less allow them access to cheap housing and the dole so that they can charge YOU for the opportunity to lay the groundwork for your own destruction in the name of so-called 'injustice.'">

I think that pretty much covers it. Did I miss anything?

But Iran has taken a more provocative slant, blaming anti-Islamic sentiment that it contends is widespread across Europe.

Heh heh. But rioting is sure to reverse that trend.

[Mr. Mojo]

Discrimination? Obviously the French weren't too discriminating when they gave millions of Islamics French citizenship.

"Restrictions imposed on the Islamic dress code in France are an official policy there and the government has suppressed minorities' beliefs and humiliated them openly," the hard-line Jomhuri Eslami daily said in a commentary.

Like this?

Saudi Arabia - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bibles are illegal. Churches are illegal.

Yemen - Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims and forbids conversions. The Government does not allow the building of new non-Muslim places of worship.

Kuwait - Registration and licensing of religious groups. Members of religions not sanctioned in the Koran may not build places of worship. Prohibits organized religious education for religions other than Islam.

Egypt - Islam is the official state religion and primary source of legislation. Accordingly, religious practices that conflict with Islamic law are prohibited. Muslims may face legal problems if they convert to another faith. Requires non-Muslims to obtain what is now a presidential decree to build a place of worship.

Algeria - The law prohibits public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam. Non-Islamic proselytizing is illegal, and the Government restricts the importation of non-Islamic literature for distribution.

Jordan - Has the death penalty for any Muslim selling land to a Jew.

Sudan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death.

Pakistan - Conversion by a Muslim to another religion is punishable by death. Bans proselytizing by non-Muslims. Christians regularly put in prison for charges of blasphemy.

There are a couple dozen muslim paradises close at hand for them to choose from. I suggest that France begin sending them to paradise now.

Amputations and beheadings are reserved for after prayers on Fridays.

They have urged the French government — and the Western world at large — to take concrete steps to rectify the problem.

I can't say I was expecting a period of introspection.

So do the French. When will they learn? Will it be too late? The French have nothing to learn from these Arabs, but they should take a lesson from the US, Australia, and others willing to fight the terrorism. And soon.

First they should remove the plank in their own eye.

[fhlh]

Notice it's never 'their' fault...

I believe the zero, like "arabic" numerals, is a Hindu invention.

No they didn't.
