At least 40 percent of those surveyed in France and Germany see Islam as a threat to their national identity, according to a survey published by the French newspaper Le Monde on Tuesday. The survey conducted by pollster IFOP found that 42 percent of French respondents consider Muslims “a threat”; while 22 percent of French respondents say they see members of the Muslim faith as “a culturally enriching factor.” The same figures for German respondents were 40 percent and 24 percent, respectively. A strong majority of the respondents in both countries said they felt Muslims had failed

...and the other half are Muslims.

They seem to be brighter than the Brits on this.

“...and the other half are Muslims.”

Naw ... 30% are Moose Limbs ... 20% are idiots. Which is low, for France.

[Baynative]

Too bad - they’ve already given up!

[freedumb2003]

So, 40% of French see the world as it is, and 60% live in fantasyland.

...and the other half are Muslims.

Exactly my thought. LOL.

Well... the first Crusade started in France. There’s a bit of history that needs to repeat itself. And how.

Interesting that it’s the French that are ahead of the curve this time. Works for me...

Missed it by that much! Still a genius line, even if you got to it first.

Where is our Charles Martel?

[Ramius]

Good question.

It’s past time for a ninth Crusade. Solve it once and for all.

[BenLurkin]

Only half?

What’s sad is that I don’t think half of Americans regard Islam as a threat.

Muslims, Social workers or the Elites who live in protected areas that are not-infected by this human disease.

Huh? I'm sorry dude, I was listening to my I-pod and texting on my cellphone, watching my friend play Halo on his X-box. What did you say?

[Berlin_Freeper]

What good has come out of the Muslim Middle East that Muslims can be proud of?

I said party-pooping Republicans suck, dude. Rock on!

Well... the first Crusade started in France. There’s a bit of history that needs to repeat itself.

To be specific, at the Council of Clermont, November 1095. Pope Benedict, take note.

I now live in Europe, all I can say is don't underestimate the French on this matter. They may have 8% Moslems, but they are pretty capable of being non-pc and pushing them all to the MAghreb. The French are very brutal in their ex-colonies but put up a fake facade of being civilised.

the poll showed that only 22% viewed Muslims favourably, 78% did not --> now minus the 8% Muslims and you see that only 14% of French are brain-dead idiots -- about par for the West.

Waddyamean? The Muslims have invented.. uhm.. wait-a-minute.. no, numbers were from the hindus, maths from the greeks, syrians, chaldeans, persians.... wait-it’s-on-the-tip-of-my-tongue.... I KEEL YOU, INFIDEL!!! :-P
