| EU vows to help France fight ISIS ‘barbarity’ | |
| 2016-07-28 | |
...the Socialist president of La Belle France, an economic bad joke for la Belle France but seemingly a foreign policy realist... after a church attack claimed by ISIS. "More than ever, all over Europe, solidarity and cooperation will be essential in the fight against barbarity and to ensure that our shared values prevail," Jean-Claude Juncker wrote. "The European Commission is fully mobilized, along with other European institutions, to provide all the support it can to La Belle France in these painful moments," he added. In a statement, the EU’s foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini also expressed solidarity and offered her "condolences to the families of the victims, to La Belle France and the Catholic Church." "Targeting a man of faith, of any faith, is always a crime against our common humanity because it means targeting the deeper essence of our lives, believers and non-believers alike," she said. | |

| #4 how much religious freedom do you allow to a religion that is determined to stamp out religious freedom? How do you tolerate the intolerant? Both good questions. |

| #3 how much religious freedom do you allow to a religion that is determined to stamp out religious freedom? Ah yes the conundrum of moral relativism. How do you tolerate the intolerant? This has been obvious and ridiculous since day 1 but still the preachers preach and force you to comply. |

| #1 If you need help with the paperwork or some strongly worded declarations, the EU has your back, France. They are "fully mobilized". Yeah, baby!" As for "Targeting a man of faith, of any faith, is always a crime against our common humanity...", what do you do if a man's faith requires him to kill you? Or asked another way, how much religious freedom do you allow to a religion that is determined to stamp out religious freedom? |
