#1 "We feel as if weâre being pointed out as the guilty ones - even we Muslim people living here in France feel as if we are somehow held responsible for the climate of insecurity which prevails in much of the West now," she tells me.

That's becuase, well, you are.

#2 Might want to have your hubby get a few like minded buddies and put a bullet into the head of the new imans and his thugs. After awhile it wont be cool to be on that team.

Or you can pout and do nothing while they bully their way in.

#3 Perhaps if they stood up to fight agains the militant Islam the rest of the French would look a bit more kindly upon them.

#4 "Ten or 15 years ago, we were living a peaceful form of Islam in France, and all of a sudden foreign influences came in and are changing things. Imams are coming from Afghanistan or Pakistan, going in to the little mosques in Marseilles, preaching another Islam, an Islam we didnât know before," she says.

Ah, so they did recognize the problem back then and did nothing about it? Sorry ma'am, but I'm all out of sympathy here.

#5 B-a-r - exactly! She identifies the complaint, and the cause, but just seems to be whining impotently. Like there's nothing she can possibly do about it. Does Allah help those who help themselves? If not, maybe she needs to find herself a new god.

#6 preaching another Islam, an Islam we didnât know before

But were all-too-happy to embrace, apparently.

#7 B-a-r and bulldog - let's not to forget to add, that whatever "peaceful form of Islam" that they were practicing must have left someone wanting, otherwise these Imams wouldn't have found a receptive audience with which to take root.

If these Imams showed up with "enforcers" to put down anyone who objected, and they threatened the moderate Muslim's way of life, then it would be time to learn that sometimes you have to stand up to the bullies, even if it means a bloody nose. But, if they just rolled over at the first sign of intimidation, well hey, they do live in France.

stop whining that you're different than them, even while you passively get into bed with them.

#8 Ummm.... that last sentence was directed towards Nacera, not you guys. I just read it and it didn't come across as clear as it seemed when I was writing it.
