The French have long prided themselves, not completely undeservedly, on their acceptance of other cultures, but even gallic tolerance has a limit, and that limit has been reached.
France's President Mr Carla Bruni, aka Nick Sarkozy, is introducing measures to put the French back into France. His right-hand man is Eric Besson, Minister of Immigration, who said:
...it would be good for all young French people to have the chance to sing The Marseillaise at least once a year.
Besson is half Lebanese and was born in Morocco. That should alleviate part of the backlash. (Naw! Muslims can find hate anywhere.)
Kids will be taught that France has a Christian history. New arrivals, as they are called in France, will be expected to learn French! And native Frenchmen are encouraged to make sure new arrivals speak good French.
Also, Mr Carla Bruni plans to ban the burka and other offensive clothing.
At the time these goals were announced, it was also revealed that deportations continue at ever increasing rates.
Lower immigration quotas are also in the offing.
France is about to engage the enemy. There is NO certainty that these measures will work. At best it is a plan for a generation of educating little French heads full of mush and finding the political guts for this over the next twenty years.
A few days ago, Paris police could not enter a Muslim tenement, despite a barrage of tear gas and a small army of French SWAT members. The police had to retreat. Muslims 1 French cops no score.
Stand up sing The Marseillaise!
