FRANCE: WOMEN'S RIGHTS GROUP PROTESTS ENTRY OF PRO-STONING SCHOLAR

Lyon, 28 Sept. (AKI) - French women's rights group Regards de femmes is demanding that the authorities bar a controversial Muslim scholar Hani Ramadan - who has publicly advocated death by stoning for women who commit adultery - from entering the country next month to take up a teaching post.

The president of Regards de femmes, Michele Vianes, has this week sent a letter, co-signed by number of prominent French figures, including several former ministers, to interior minister, Nicolas Sarkozy demanding he keep Ramadan out of France. He is due to teach a series of courses a the newly formed Shatibi centre in the city of Lyon, beginning on 14 October. The Shatibi centre was founded by a group of young Muslims and offers courses in Islamic studies and the Arabic language.

"Who can we tolerate the teachings of Hani Ramadan and others who advocate Islamic (Shariah) law, when their writing and publications are fundamentally alien and antithetical to the values and principles of the French Republic?" Vianes asks in the petition, quoted by Le Figaro.

The letter calls on Sarkozy to deny entry to France to "all religious teachers, who transmit the totalitarian ideology of the Sharia, and who do not recognise either the authority or the rights of democratic states and who are contrary to the constitutional principles of secularism and equality between men and women."

Ramadan, who currently heads the Islamic Centre in the Swiss city of Geneva - was dismissed from his post in 2003 a few months after making remarks publicly defending lapidation for women guilty of adultery and likening this "deviant behaviour" to that of people who who expose themselves to HIV infection. Ramadan subsequently won two court appeals forcing the Swiss cantonal authorities to reinforce him in his post.

The last war that France won was the 100 Years war. Why? Because of Joan of Arc. This historic fact demonstrates that the French army is only successful when it's not led by a man.....

Muslims are making a fatal mistake by trying to push their fascistic religion on free people. Free people are highly motivated to defend their way of life. Hitler learned that the hard way. Muslims may end up learning it the hard way, too.

Maybe - but not in France.

Oh, EINhorn. (Maybe the difference is he only messed with his "own" women.)

Whew, for a moment I thought it was Findhorn, also noted in the sixties and seventies.

SO, stoning a women is now "lapidation" of women ? ? ?

Only a decerebrate Libroid could be so deliberately deceptive in word choice.

"Are you saying only women have balls in France? "

Perhaps he meant that infidel women in France will have stones?

Thus we see a splintering in the tacit liberal alliance. The Feminist movement cannot logically coexist with Sharia, and the Islamists who support it. Eventually Feminists and other groups will realize that the Liberals acquiescence to radical Islam is leading to their destruction.

Well good for the French women. U.S., Canadian, and British Leftist women are still fast asleep, possibly brain dead about the dire danger that faces them from Islamo-Fascists.

Well it's about time the muzzies crashed into the feminazis!!! Hey, we all knew it was coming, I for one have been waiting for it (as I'm sure many of us have). It just happened to happen in France first, could have been anywhere. And as far a these French women having more balls than the men, thankfully, that's wrong. It's not gonna be balls that mess with the muzzies, it's gonna be the bitches. Why do you think the muzzies keep them at home, in burquas (and probably quiet)? The nasty, bitchy, hyper-offended, shrew, feminazis will be like Kryptonite to the average Joe-towelhead. They may even be the best hope that civilization has!! (God, what a horrible thought.)

Don't be so sure that France will cave totally. There is a strong, nationalistic, right-wing streak that will first protest and then act. Where did you think the Germans got all those assistants during their occupation in World War II? It wasn't merely opportunists. There were genuine right-wing supporters, such as Laval. The Milice were volunteers.

If the French are pushed enough, they will push back.
