"Friss" means 'Fries' and it's the official language of the Province of Friesland.

In English I believe it's called Frisian. A Low German dialect that stands somewhere between Dutch and English, Frisian has the distinction of being the nearest relative to English in the linguistic family tree.

Yes, it's Frisian in English.

It could never become a law, it mostly done for the people I think, to show that some one is listening to them. And also you'd be punishing others for action of other people. I'd prefer a ban for these imams, just like in Morocco or Syria, where they come from and were banned because of their radical comments.

That does seem to be the best course, since the fish rots from the head.

[knighthawk]

Good one.

Im basically a libertarian but Islam need to be stamped out even if it means "initiating force".

We should treat Islam as Germany treats Scientology, as a "dangerous cult".
