What will it take to make France wake up?

Marie-Claude,

This is a europhile and francophile French Canadian speaking for himself, and not as a Canadian, so please you or anyone else, don't serve me the "no lesson to give" speech...

Marie-Claude, I have read recently a blatant example of your country's dhimmification...

At the site of the battle of Poitiers where Charle Martel stopped the muslim invasion in 732 AD, the exhibit there could have been entitled "FRANCE SINCERELY APOLOGIZES FOR HER VICTORY".

In the exhibit, almost only the dark side of Charles Martel is depicted while his ennemy, Abd al-Rahman is depicted in a much more positive way... So as the Muslim world in contrast with the Christian world... Unfortunately, history being history, an explination had to be given for Charles Martel's victory (the Franks were better organized)...

Later, it is written that the Christians and the Muslims could have shared so much etc...etc...

A year ago, in your country, it was made taboo again to even suggest that there might have been some positive effects of the French colonization on the colonized people...

So in one side you apologize for having colonized the more primitive people two centuries ago while also apologizing for having resisted their colonization while you were the primitive ones?

Political correctness in its most pathetic form!

Muslims are still a minority in France, and French are already so afraid of them that they now accept a muslim-biased version of their history!

We are really not far from the moment where you'll have to bow the head in the presence of Muslims as some Muslim thugs are already yelling at the infidel folks in some of your towns...

Also, you said in a previous post that a lot of British come to live in France. But what you don't say is that those British are either retired or have already made their fortune... There are also a lot of young French graduates who go live in UK to launch or even do all their careers... In other word, the British come to France to rest, the French go live in UK to PRODUCE... I wonder who is the biggest loser... And to this French elite I can add the Jews who are also moving from France (to UK, Canada, Israel, the US) fleeing the physical aggressivity of the Muslims and the the verbal agressivity of the white Frenchs .

So my point is: could you or someone else finally explain me why the so desparate young suburb Muslims of the suburbs just don't do the same and don't leave France for a more prosperous (and hungry for labour force) European Nation such as United Kingdom, as their french citizenship allows them to do?

There they would have jobs, future and an ideal place for French-bashing! You are losing la crème de la crème of your country as well as member of a law-respectful community but you keep the Thugs... I would not be surprised they stay because ,as future Muslim Lords, they feel entitled to live by the Dhimmis taxes...

Americans and Jews are not the ones that set your cars on fire, so you're not convincing anyone by criticizing them in order to "wag the dog"...

Sofia and Marianna may have a US-bias way to analyse the last century's history along with a tendency for a Jay Leno's style French-bashing but in their analysis of the actual France and Europe situation, sorry, but they are darned right!

Respectueusement vôtre!

Germain.
