No red wine? That is too much, even for French socialists!

Hollande

Original headline: Lunch between French and Iranian presidents canceled: France refused request to serve halal food and no wine

The concept of “you eat what you like and I’ll eat what I like” seems to be outside the muslim functional zone.

I would have said: “the Bacon/Ham Sammiches and Wine are both Halal, they have been blessed TWICE by a Rabbi!”

[ The row recalls a 2009 incident, when the Iraqi prime minister Nuri Al-Maliki, declined a dinner invitation with former French president Nicolas Sarkozy because he did not want alcohol at the table”. ]

We need a new saying: You can lead a muslim to the table, but you cannot expect them NOT to drink....

It’s rare for me to say this, but good for the French!

So, France drew a red wine line which wasn’t crossed.

Simple solution - force a bottle of wine down the Iranian presidents throat and then hang him for crimes against humanity. After that, nuke Mecca and call it a good day’s work.

Eventually it’s going to come to this anyway. Might as well get it done now, before the Muslim animals kill off the whole world.

So Hollande had the courage to tell the towelhead savages to go pound sand!
The theocratic headwraps want to tell the rest of the world how to eat and drink.
Hollande, a socialist, deserves more respect than the guy at the head of our country.

I find myself in the odd position of agreeing with the French for a change.

A meal without wine is an insult to the French.
I'm enjoying this clash of culinary culture, I can root for the French for once.
I just hope they stand their ground.

The Iranians, A.K.A. Persians, have ALWAYS been HUGE pains in the rear. Always. They were the land of Aryans, “pure,” which is how Hitler described the Germans...which is odd because Hitler was born and brought up in Austria. He left Austria when he was 22 or 23 years old. He learned his virulent anti-Semitism in Austria. I guess they sang “other” songs besides “The Hills Are Alive With Music.”

The French should apologize for the confusion and send a gift as a token of respect.

I think a case of a nice burgundy would be appropriate.

It is a profoundly sad day when a French leader stands up to Muslims more forcefully than an American one.

If they want halal food and no wine, they can lunch in Tehran. But hey, didn’t Shiraz wine originate in Persia?

I guess that the religious persons in Iran have no clue that their food contains natural alcohol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumis 0.7 - 2.5 %, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kefir 0.08 - 2.0 %, then there are fermented vegetables etc.
