The French may be pompous twits and eunuchs in most matters of importance, but when it comes to nipping Muslim anarchy in the bud some Frogs are showing that they are indeed endowed with at least partially-functioning Cajoles.
At issue was a recent proposal to ban the burqa-style Islamic mask that Muslim women favor.
As reported at yahoo.com, in part:
“PARIS – The French Senate on Tuesday overwhelmingly passed a bill banning the burqa-style Islamic veil on public streets and other places, a measure that affects less than 2,000 women but that has been widely seen as a symbolic defense of French values.
“The Senate voted 246 to 1 in favor of the bill in a final step toward making the ban a law — though it now must pass muster with France's constitutional watchdog.
The bill was overwhelmingly passed in July in the lower house, the National Assembly.
“Many Muslims believe the legislation is one more blow to France's No. 2 religion, and risks raising the level of Islamophobia in a country where mosques, like synagogues, are sporadic targets of hate. However, the law's many proponents say it will preserve the nation's values, including its secular foundations and a notion of fraternity that is contrary to those who hide their faces.”
Imagine that—the French Senate is leap years ahead of the U.S. Senate and House when it comes to preserving national identity and values!
Hmm.
Wonder how a similar bill, say, about English being the official U.S. language would fare in the haunted House of the Wicked Witch from the West, or in the U.S. Senate?
How would Barack Obama react to legislation designed to preserve and protect American values, traditions, and culture?
The One would no doubt deliver an eloquent speech in which the “English Is US” bill would be portrayed as racist, discriminatory, and unconstitutional.
Then he would veto the bill, blame W. for the bad economy, strained relations with China, the gas pipe explosion in California, and the bedbug crisis in New York City.
All in the day’s work of a clueless Progressive, in over his head!
