France will be the first islamic republic in Europe.

At least they didn't destroy it as opposed to Zorostrian and Hindu temples in Persia and all across the subcontinent, including Afghanistan.

Remember the Bamiyan Buddhas.

The Netherlands fund it's 33 islamic schools, it's mosques and islamic foundations, along with our friends, the Saudis.

High school? If it's an ecole, doesn't that mean it's an elementary school? Wouldn't a high school be a lycee or a college?

[swarthyguy]

Don't you fellow "peoples of the book" feel blessed. That should give you a nice warm glow.

They'll take Hindu, Buddhist, and Parsi women for slaves but the men are out of luck, i think, depending on the whim of the generalmullah.

If Europeans prefer to be blind to what is happening, it's their problem. It's not that they were not warned.

I mostly slept during French, so I don't know.

Ecole Averroes

Aptly named. In Hebrow "Averoes" is the word for sins.

The school of sins.

I'd prefer this teacher....

This may actually be a good thing.
It must be pure torture not knowing whether to blow yourself up or surrender...

[Nebr FAL owner]

This is not a good thing . Any bets on the time that will pass before the damands that France honor/obey sharia law?

How long before the riots start , the bombings of various landmarks like Notre Dame ,the Louve museum, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triumphe ?

Funny if the socialists in Europe are willing to fund private schools while the American left fights tooth and nail against vouchers.

[monkeyshine]

ROFL!

[monkeyshine]

dang you folks have made this one funny thread! ROFL

[Terridan]

Is it any wonder why the French are sooooooo opposed to the U.S. attacking Iraq, or any other "sister" muslim country?
Best wishes!

France has a death wish. Lets face it all the manly French were killed off in the Napoleanic wars and WWI while all the manly Germans got killed in WWI and yes fighting for the nazis.

The one comforting factor is that the smartest among them and most other cultures came here. At least the best aspects of these cultures will live on within us, even though the country itself has faded into obscurity.

*Yawn* It's early to start feeling sad about the death of these cultures. Now, what goes better on Cheerios? A nice Heffer-Wietzen or a Bock?
