...politicians call things divisivewhen when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive,they're principled... measure. French President Francois Hollande ...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... submitted the proposal three days after the Nov. 13 attacks in Gay Paree that left 130 dead, in a shift toward a hard line on security. The idea appears to have strong support in French public opinion. Several polls over the past week suggest that 80 to 90 percent of the French are in favor of the measure. Under current French law, citizenship revocation can only be applied to people who have been naturalized, not if they are French-born, and the procedure is rarely implemented. The new rules would extend it to all dual nationals, but cannot be applied to people who are only French citizens, as La Belle France's obligations under international law prevent it from leaving a person stateless. Opponents of the measure consider it would create two classes of citizens - dual nationals who could lose their citizenship and others who cannot - in opposition to the principle of equality set out in La Belle France's constitution. French authorities have not said how many of those locked away Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! over the Gay Paree attacks are dual nationals. | |

#2 France is an excellent example of how the liberal west is entirely unprepared to meet the Islamist threat. For starters, no death penalty... |
