] Date Posted: 21:13:15 05/09/13 Thu I want to start a NEW PRECEDENT. Whenever drawing reference to a link, please include the original material on your website. This way; the facts will be protected, just in case the 404 message appears. For example: Here's an interesting paragraph regarding former President Nicolas Sarkozy. [2007: Nicolas Sarkozy, of Hungarian and Greek Jewish descent, is elected president of the French Republic after a campaign that focuses on law and order and economic development. Despite tough talk, Sarkozy engages the Muslim population in politics and promotes “positive discrimination” (known in America as affirmative action) for immigrants.] --- Note: When visiting various websites; you'll often see links to outside sources. I cannot understand why people continue this, knowing that most links will eventually break. SO, from now on: Include the material on your website, along with the link. Certainly, regarding legal repercussions, there's no need for concern. Let's review additional material on the page: 2003: • The French Council of the Muslim Faith (Conseil Français du Culte Musulman) is established. This umbrella institution is formed with the goal of bringing Islam into the political process by recognizing it, alongside Catholicism, Protestantism, and Judaism, as one of the organized religions in France. • President Chirac nominates Bernard Stasi to head a commission of 20 experts (the “Stasi Commission”) to investigate the application of the principle of secularity (laïcité) in France and the best ways to protect it in the public sphere. Of all Stasi Commission recommendations, President Chirac asks the French legislature to adopt the suggestion to ban “ostentatious” religious symbols in public schools. The recommendation is widely seen as directed against the Islamic veil. • During the Stasi Commission deliberation, the “Lévy Sister Affair” breaks when two high school students in the Henri-Wallon high school in the Parisian suburb of Aubervillers. refuse to lower their veils according to their school’s rules. Daughters of a secular Algerian mother and an atheist-Jewish father, the two sisters are expelled from school. 2004: • On March 11, 2004, an al-Qaeda-inspired terrorist cell orchestrates a series of attacks on the Madrid commuter train system, killing 191 people and injuring more than 1,700. • On March 15, 2004, President Jacques Chirac signs a law banning the display of large religious symbols in public schools. The law, widely understood as a ban on the Islamic veil, is supported by a majority of the French public. 2005: • On July 7, 2005, four militant Islamist suicide bombers strike in central London, killing 52 people and injuring 770. • In October 2005, the banlieues of Paris and other French cities see unprecedented riots, violence, and arson. The rioters, most of them second- or third-generation children of Muslim immigrants from North Africa, protest against high rates of poverty, unemployment, and racism in the suburbs (banlieues in French). ---- by the way: this website is told from the Left perspective. So, it's necessary to read between the rhetoric. http://civicdilemmas.facinghistory.org/content/timeline-france-religion-and-secularity-headscarves-debate Also, notice how they speak of French territories. It's ironic how Society condemns French imperialism, yet approve of inter-continental empires. In other words: We NEVER hear about tribal conquests or civil war. But instead, The Media only condemns The British & French Empires. ALthough Ironically; They were more humane than virtually any other conquests. Stop and think about that. Thank God for the British Empire. Sure, I don't actually approve of imperialism. BUT, since the dawning of civilization; it was inevitable to expect an eventual World Power. And luckily; it was The British (and, French). You've never looked at things this way, before. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
