    Why do you people always require a preface with a disclaimer, before every fuckin' sentence?

    Because white people love to get offended on behalf of other races. Once they find that much-desired "offensive" statement, they can spring into action telling everyone how not every single Muslim is a terrorist (although that's obvious). Then, they can relax in the knowing that they have made a difference through awareness.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    if you had read my posts you would have realized that I was trying to raise awareness in behalf of the French state rather than the "Muslims"...I tend to go with things that have been previously neglected...
    and who tells you I'm white?...does my demeanor suggest it to your expertise?:)

    and for some people this fact doesn't seem to be so obvious...otherwise obama wouldn't have to repeatedly state that he is no muslim(=terrorist in many people's mind)...

    I found this story disturbing and wondered if there is more behind this or if this woman was denied citizenship based solely on her religion.

    It is pretty disturbing yes. Usually in France, if you want the nationality, the council in charge does a background check on several things, including terrorist support (groups, money etc.) but not the way of life.
    The current government is currently doing a lot of political borderline shit on cases such as these to appeal to the extreme right fringe of the populations. The current government sucks.

    as a matter of fact, this "kind of supreme court" is the Council of State which is headed by the Vice President and is presided by the Prime Minister of France. Not the same thing as the Supreme Court in the US.
    Haha. No.
    1 - there is no vice president in france
    2 - the council of state is not linked to the government as it can be seized by the opposition to check the constitutionality of a law (so obviously, it can't be presided by leader of the government)

    France has always been a pretty racist country.
    Either you're talking about the people, which would be pretty ignorant (self explanatory). Or you're talking about the government, which would pretty ignorant considering the proportion of migrants accepted in the country since the end of the war. You choose which fits you best.

    This story is not shocking. We live in a very different world then what most of us have been led to believe the world should be. The very foundation of our country is that church and state should be separate, yet you can't even imagine such a thing now - both are so entangled.
    CONservative governMENt

    Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. - Louis Brandeis
