#1 This will work.... until the "youths" start blowing stuff up and beheading people. Then the little dhims will fall in line.

#2 I'm not so sure, DV. I think France has just about had enough of its Islamic "citizens". The Government may give in, but the French people can do some serious damage when they get angry enough. They may have reached that point.

#3 Based on the headline, I was expecting a story about Congressional Democrats.

#4 I don't actually have a problem with this, so long as the stores that make this choice clearly mark it -- everything I've read says halal meats may be holy, but they sure aren't hygienically prepared, starting with the slaughter. The many who object need merely take their business elsewhere, leaving the submitters to go out of business in peace.

Sometimes letting the market handle things is the most efficient way, no matter how tempting it is to legislate one's preferences.

#5 These places are most likely in the banlieues -- 'no go' areas for the average Frenchy, who are mostly arrogant, pompous hypocrites who are too busy navel-gazing and criticizing us for the "Palestinians" and GITMO.

Too little, too late...the cowards will (once again) raise the white flag and this time they'll end up on the ash heap of history.

France sucks.

#6 A good point about the banlieues, Gomez Threter7450, which would mean those particular stores won't lose business from their decision. However, this may be a sign that France is not totally lost. I mean, a Socialist (!!) mayor threatening to sue about favouring Muslims?
