Didn't know they had it in them. Wonder if there will be more riots as a result.

France has done a complete 180 with their new leader in charge......and I could not be more thrilled.

     their nuclear power program too.

     WTG  France!

Wait a minute.. did France resign from the multiculturel EU or is this some other france than the one below England and to the left of Germany?

No way that would pass over here, with the multicultural minority making our laws. I guess we also need to go through couple of terrorists, riots and honor killings before we get to that point. It'd be totally unfair to take the lesson and avoid having the same misery as the central european countries.

Hang on now.. I thought France was supposed to apply fundamental human rights (such as freedom of speech, or freedom of religion in this case) to a tee?

I liked it when France was kind enough to let former colonials move to France from their rathole homelands, the filthy savages set property and old ladies on fire in their cities, Bardot got abit indignant over the whole affair, and French officialdom decided the old gal was major embarassment and danger for her remakrs. You know, as opposed to the Granny-roaster who were PO'ed because their free public housing wasn't swank enough. That was classic.

Racist bastard.

Racist bastard.

Witty comeback!

But only half-true. I was conceived entirely legitimately, not that such things have any meaning for me.

Funny part is though, I'd still nominate Thomas Sowell for president over the Mcaniac, if I had the choice.

But you were using the standard NWO definition of racist, which is "anyone who criticizes any non-Whites for doing anything", so that explains the dissonance.

You need to check out the my "real life stats in expanded format."

Grannies roasted:    0
People murdered:    0
Property stolen :     0
Property vandalized:0
Women raped:        0
Fights: A few, but it was mutual and concensual. And they had it coming...

But I concede sir, you are right, me and Brigitte are the problem in Western civilizations, not the folks dancing around burning cars and the like.

[BnZ]

Oh btw, for the record:

I think the French are STUPID to let thousands of people who are unlikely to adapt to civilization into their borders, but I think any rules or regulations for citizens of said country about what kind of head-gear they will wear are assinine and incompatible with any thinking adult's right to personal freedom. Let us be honest: The problem is NOT the woman's veil. The problem is not even the fact that she wants to live by the bizarre edicts of a particular religion. The problem is that individuals from her region have shown a strong tendency towards trying to force other people to live their way by blowing them up. This fact makes her a poor risk for immigration. That people won't admit this is a sad sign of how cowardly and hypocritical the West has become.

Whether the head gear legislation in question involves veils,  or trying to force all the biker set to don helmets, I wish more people in the West had the self-esteem and the balls to tell their governing bodies to "shove it!" on stuff like this.

Right, it doesn't matter what actualy happened.  Only that what's reported sounds like what you want to hear.

BnZ, angered over last night's FSO decides to poke at a pile of rattlesnakes with a stick... er internet discussion involving race/religion.

It wasn't just the burqa or her religion: "France has denied citizenship to a veiled Moroccan woman on the grounds that her "radical" practice of Islam is incompatible with basic French values such as equality of the sexes, a legal ruling showed on Friday."

Glad to see France is sticking up for it's own national heritage and values. No doubt this will be decried as racist by many even though race isn't factor.

[hijack]The ACLU would be all over this if it had happened in the US. Even though they supported pulling the mic on a high school valedictorian talking about her christian faith. Their agenda becomes ever more revealed to those who would but look.

i guess im the only one that thinks this is wrong..If she wants to dress like a ghoul,it should be her right.

The separation of religion from politics i think should be paramount here.It is not the govt's job to judge religions..They are all whack imho..And who is qualified enough to rule on these matters?

[mietla]

She may dress up any way she wants in Morocco (or can she? ), but the French have every right not to let her into France. Citizenship of any country is not a right. Even a tourist visa is a privilege.
