So, after the latest case of France deciding in the midst of the outbreak of a new wave of Covid 19 (which as someone from the USA at least assures me that the USA isn't the only willfully stupid society that expected a virus to vanish into thin air, and I suspect that Hurricane Laura is the only reason my hometown didn't slide right back into no. 1 outbreak spot in the USA again) to get into yet another kerfluffle over its selective standard of secularism.....

An old fart in Malaysia who was its PM decides the most helpful idea here is to say that Muslims have a right to kill millions of French people with impunity. He looked at the mess in France, decided the thing that would help French Muslims is to go on Twitter and literally try to incite a wave of mass murder and civil war in France

......

With this it's easy to see why I hope he lost his job and that I hope it stays lost.

Shouldn't he be prosecuted or something?

France has a largish Muslim minority. This is an incitement for a small, nasty, racist, and toxic France to emerge and join the UK, US and Russia heading the current pantheon of small, nasty, racist, and toxic nations.

It is very true that France won't take this sort of stupid shit. But what will this sort of stupid shit inspire France to become?

I am reminded that during the Second World War helping a Jewish person in occupied Europe was helping a terrorist and an enemy of the state.

New era, new victims. Same fascist shit. And the fucking religious nutters are worse too; beheading ordinary folk because insults as the modern grammar would have it.

I recall that the British Colonial forces were less than nice about things. I guess that using the same sort of ideas France could nip this in the bud. I suppose they could ensure all the armed policemen's bullets are greased in pig fat. That way if a chap wants to die under a hail of bullets after beheading a couple of women and old men, he isn't going to get to heaven being unclean. No virgins for him, alas.

Maybe that would be a completely barbaric response to terrorism; but beheading folk for perceived insults to your prophet... That's pretty fucking barbaric.

Dailyquote:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
