2004-01-16
EFL
Protests also are planned Saturday, mostly outside French restaurants consulates and embassies in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., and in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto in Canada, organizers said.
ok dammit, where’s my hardhat?
A few thousand people are expected in all, said Shaheen Kazi, national office manager at the Muslim Students Association of the U.S. and Canada.
of course, something going on in france prompts protests in the U.S. any questions about the global reach of islamocraziness? they’re playing with fire if things get out of hand here in The Heartland©, hope they aren’t working themselves up into a spit-flecked frenzy in the local mosques

#3  I hope that the FBI gets lots of digital facial images of these folks to add to the Islamonutcase database. Can't be too careful, ya know. PC can kill.

#2  I saw one such protest yesterday on my Florida college campus. I think they could've done better by getting non-Muslims involved. I happen to think the Muslims are right on this one; there are massive Islamist problems that France must address, but instead Chirac is ignoring the real issues and boldly tackling the hijab. Even if he succeeds, it won't do anything useful, and all it'll do is piss a whole bunch of people off. Stupid, useless maneuver. Typically French.

#1  Can't get away with protesting in France so the protest here in the US. Well, at least they're protesting the French and not us this time.
