France: Burka Rage

A bit of a clash of civilizations...

Hat tip to Infidel Bloggers Alliance, citing the Telegraph's article "France has first 'burka rage' incident: A 60-year-old lawyer ripped a Muslim woman's Islamic veil off in a row in a clothing shop in what police say is France's first case of 'burka rage'":

The astonishing scene unfolded during a weekend shopping trip after the woman lawyer took offence at the attire of a fellow shopper resulting in argument during which the pair came to blows before being arrested.

[...]

At one point the lawyer, who was out with her daughter, is said to have likened the Muslim woman to Belphegor, a horror demon character well known to French TV viewers. Belphegor is said to haunt the Louvre museum in Paris and frequently covers up his hideous features using a mask....

A spokesman for Trignac police said that two complaints had been received, with the Muslim woman accusing the lawyer of racial and religious assault. The latter, in turn, had accused her opponent of common assault.

The Muslima who had her veil ripped off is a twenty-six-year-old Muslim convert.

Being offended is running both ways now. Bound to happen as Muslims throughout the West are forcing Islamic supremacism down the West's throat.

And make no mistake: wearing Islamic garb, particularly the burka with the slits for eyes (aka "the black bag") is a political statement of political supremacism and, according to apostates of Islam, akin to wearing a swastika.

Sarkozy: Obama Is A "Mad Lunatic"

From this article in the European Union Times (hat tip to Gateway Pundit):

A new report circulating in the Kremlin today [April 9] authored by France’s Directorate-General for External Security (DGSE) and recently “obtained” by the FSB shockingly quotes French President Nicolas Sarkozy [photo top right with Obama] as stating that President Barack Obama is “a dangerous[ly] aliéné”, which translates into his, Obama, being a “mad lunatic”, or in the American vernacular, “insane”.

According to this report, Sarkozy was “appalled” at Obama’s “vision” of what the World should be under his “guidance” and “amazed” at the American Presidents unwillingness to listen to either “reason” or “logic”. Sarkozy’s meeting where these impressions of Obama were formed took place nearly a fortnight ago at the White House in Washington D.C., and upon his leaving he “scolded” Obama and the US for not listening closely enough to what the rest of the World has to say.

Apparently, as this report details, the animosity between Sarkozy and Obama arose out of how best the West can deal with the growing threat posed by rising Islamic fundamentalism....

Who Said It?

A little quiz to start off the week (hat tip to Infidel Bloggers Alliance):

Who issued the statement below? The answer is below the fold.

"I am for a legal ban of the burqa, which has no place in France, a country where women have been voting since 1945....The burqa is a prison for women, a tool of sexist domination and Islamist indoctrination....If they want to wear the veil, they can go to a country where it's the tradition, like Saudi Arabia."

Answer: Hassen Chalghoumi, Tunisian-born imam of a mosque in northern Paris.

Read the above-cited article HERE, worth your time.

Learn more about Hassen Chalghoumi by doing a Google search of his name.

So, what do you think? A moderate Moslem or a taqiyya talker? From the bit of research I've done on this man, I haven't found any duplicity.

Predictably, Hassen Chalghoumi receives death threats from other Moslems.

Semtex Explosive Missing

Check out this BBC News article:

French search for stolen Semtex

French anti-terrorist officers are searching for 28kg (61lb) of Semtex explosive missing from a depot in the suburbs of the city of Lyon.

France's interior ministry confirmed an investigation was underway, saying the manager of the site had been suspended.

Semtex is a powerful explosive favoured by terrorist groups as it is odourless and difficult to detect.

Police said detonators were also missing and that they are treating the theft "very seriously".

The depot, in a disused 19th century fort at Corbas, is used for storing explosives by a civil defence unit charged with the job of blowing up bombs and ammunition left over from the two world wars.

Police said the discovery that the Semtex was missing was made on Friday but admitted the explosives could have been taken up to a week ago.

In a statement released late on Friday the interior ministry said there had been "security failings" which had made the theft possible.

Police sources have declined to confirm a newspaper website report which said that the store had been unguarded.

Semtex, which was first made in the Czech Republic, is used in mining and demolition work.

A bomb containing about half a kilogram of the explosive caused the blast which brought down Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, in 1988, killing 270 people.
