A symbol agains another symbol........
againsts.... sorry
perhaps it has to do with the illegal deportation of the Roma gypsy's from France
No, they wouldn;t blow it up. They would toss it a baby and run off with its luggage.
Why would you make a comment like that about someone? That's very rude and uncalled for
The fact that the police press said it was 'routine' sounds a bit strange. I mean, theres always the crazies, but to say that this situation is routine just seems out of place to me.
I bet Muslims are behind this because of that pastor in FL.
Really? Maybe you should check the news again...France has banned burkas...btw, why would they take anger about an extremist man w/ 50 followers out on France of all places?! LOL
@ Gretchen LOL didn't you watch the news sister ? They rioted all over the world.
In the name of Allah,,,,,,, why don't the muslims all form their own country where burkas, sword branishing, death by stoning and other acts in the name of Allah are a way of life. Oh yea sounds like IRAN, All rag heads on the boat to IRAN.
Well, IF its muslim related, they certainly aren't helping their image any.
Lets take up a collection and send them OUT.
Eh, I'd rather deport stupid ignorant people.
America F yeah! go in and save the mf'ing day now, yeah! Send in Team America.
Derka. Derka derka.
Don't agree with the burqa ban? Plant some bombs!
I think the mood of the American people is "we're mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore" we know who we're at war with.
yip... its 100% because of the Burka ban. Unless it is actually about to fall.. and the only way to get insurance money is to scream terrorist threat.
This just in.....threat called off after entire French Police surrendered to the Muslim nation at the first sign of conflict.
Michael, the French are pretty hard core on their stance with their laws. The more violence that comes from the radicals is just going to do one thing, and that's turn the ENTIRE non-Muslim world against ALL Muslims, whether they're moderates or not. They really need to show the world that they're against the rads, or it's going to hurt all of them.
i'm pretty certain that was just a French surrender joke.
Hey Michael...maybe you know. What happened with the guy in Australia? He supposedly was rolling cigarettes with bible pages and koran pages, and smoking them. Now we all know is ok to burn the bible....but the KORAN????????!!!!!!!! Has anyone killed him yet?
Rise of Cobra!
It's either their way or the high way– violence especially in the Middle East will ensue. That's the Muslim way because they believe they are always right. They are above all other people and religion.
The same thing is happening in NY. The Imam said it's boon for Al Queda if the Islamic center is relocated. So it's either his way or the high way– violence especially in the Middle East will ensue. That's the Muslim way because they believe they are always right. They are above all other people and religion. Now they are dictating what governments in their host countries will do.
I gained some respect for Donald Trumpwhen he offered a small fortune to one of the partners in that deal so that they could get property elsewhere. He saw the conflict and wanted to end it. good going Donald!
Wow...
Not a mention of who did it and already you pinheads are using it to lash out against muslims and islam in general.
SHUT UP, Muslims are not "nice" people, they are not a peace people. I have not met any muslim that has any joy or peace or is willing to help another person of non muslim. ISLAM IS NOT GOD, IS THE VERY OPPOSITE.
@LB ~ Then you need to get out more. I've known and met MANY muslims who were perfectly "normal" people without the hate and anger element. I agree that perhaps people are rushing to judgement on who's responsible, but it's not a big leap to think it's Muslims behind this since the burqa ban has passed in parliment.
I'm a perfectly normal American teenager. I go to school, I listen to music, I go to the movies with my friends, and I go grocery shopping with my mom at Wal-Mart. I watch football on Sundays and I love dr.pepper. My dad reads the newspaper, my mom cooks fried chicken, and I chat with friends on facebook. I'm also extremly terrified of terrorists.
Did I mention I was a Muslim?
