#3 Cockroaches, no. Festering, blood sucking parasites, yes.

So they want to wait until they kill someone to deport them? Brilliant Holmes. Stap a nuke to his back and watch him blow up Paris. Then deport his remains. Kick them out if they so much as condone the horrific actions of the zelots. Don't wait until your countrymen are lined up in a gutter, blood flowing from their shattered remains before you do anything, you asswipe.

#4 "Muslims are not cockroaches."

Off course they aren't. That would be demeaning to cockroaches

#6 is this al-guardian looking for a politically correct way to support blair's ban, by saying "it's ok, the french do it already?"

#7 Reminds of the old Star Trek joke: An Arab asked Gene Roddenberry why although the crew of the Enterprise was so ethnically diverse with blacks, Russians, Scots, Chinese, etc, there were no Arab characters. The response, "Well, that's because it is set in the future."

#9 'Muslims are not cockroaches'

At least cockroaches will survive the 2nd Nuclear War [stated on the 60th Anniversary of the 1st].

#10 nothing in what france has one is anti-muslim. They have identified SPECIFIC mosques, SPECIFIC preachers, who are problems - implicitly recognizing that the remainder are moderate.

The Algerian who complained is probably a radical, and so identifies France's justified campaign against radicals with a campaign against all muslims.

#11 Of course they're not. One of them is an unwanted pest that infests apartment buildings, breeds like crazy, and makes the neighbors move away. The other is an insect.

#12 Cockroaches?

What about the term al-Qaeda being close in how it sounds to Cicada?

#13 As much as I dislike the French, I must admit that here is a case in which the French are on the right side more than the Brits.

In fact, the French position is also better, in many ways, than the policy of the U.S. We have not been able to use our hate crime laws effectively because it requires showing that hate motivated a tangible crime (e.g., raising funds for Islamic terror groups) and the penalty for the 'hate' part is so minor compared to the crime itself, it is usually not worth prosecuting.

#14 As a member of PETA, I protest comparing muslims to cockroches. I mean, I ask you - which would you rather have more of in your house, your country? I'll take the cockroches.

#15 So they want to wait until they kill someone to deport them?

This is better known as the law-enforcement approach, where they wait 'til someone commits a crime before taking action. Unfortunately, the end result of this is that victims are created, the worst cases being people who have needlessly lost their lives.

#16 If you ever want to read about a tough French cop, I highly recommend a biography of Joseph FouchÃ©, who was chief of Napoleon's secret police. Nicknamed "The Unprincipled Patriot", he turned his remarkable skills at villainy to the service of France. I suspect that his biography is required reading among the agents of the modern French Interior Ministry.
