I am all for their ban. France especially, has more problems with Islam than the average person in America knows, and it's coming to a town near you.
When the wife was visiting her family, in Paris a few years back her sister told her NOT to wear ANY religious medals etc when walking the streets. Her sister told her that some of the Muslims may literally cut your throat or attack you. Don't tell me about the tolerance of this violent belief, they ARE TROUBLE in France, and other locations already and have been for years.
They use, many times not all, intimidation,bullying, threats to others that are not of their belief. Depends on how much 'backup' they have in numbers.They do just what this Imam in NYC is trying to do, "social' building as close to Ground Zero as possible, why? Because with our laws they can, Islamic rads attacked America and now watch our brothers build OUR Mosque or "Social Center", (right), as near the zone of attack and murder as possible.
Wake up and read the Qur'an folks, and then come back and post your comments.
I still hope for a last minute solution to this issue. Hoping that someone in this belief will stand up and try getting along with the rest of the world in peace. The ball is really in their court, IMHO.
