Is France About To Take Sensible Action?

[anotheoldgit]

FRENCH Prime Minister Manuel Valls says the country is to shut down certain mosques, cut foreign funding and police the content delivered in sermons in a massive crackdown on Islamic fundamentalism.

Meanwhile, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has demanded every person suspected of being involved in terrorism be placed under house arrest.

And he said accessing jihadi websites should be made a crime similar to that of paedophiles who view and distribute content online.

France is also considering legislation that will allow it to remove and expel dual national citizens.

you said that already Andy.

[andy-hughes]

I know, but I am still waiting for someone to explain it.

[RandyMarsh]

ok

Less mosques
Less muslims

I am not saying i agree with it but there, i explained it.

[andy-hughes]

RandyMarsh - //ok

Less mosques
Less muslims

I am not saying i agree with it but there, i explained it. //

How could you agree with that - it's utterly without logical foundation.

So if anyone has a reasoned argument, I would be interested to read it

Thanks Randy but as someone has already said we don't need a mosque/church to pray.
It's a bit like saying fewer hospitals means fewer ill people

[fiction-factory]

Andy- you need to put the right pair of blinkers on and then everything becomes so obvious

Three participants in this debate have inferred or stated that they think that no more mosques should be built - one has confirmed that the reason is obvious.


I'm in favour of not building any religious based buildings.

//Have you contemplated how keeping hundreds, possibly thousands, of terror suspects under house arrest would work? //

Lock em in the Mosques, and surround them?

It is nothing like it.

[RandyMarsh]

I thought we were talking about new mosques?

Which i presume are build to meet demand, demand from more muslims?

Maybe they won't come if they are not allowed to build mosques, seeing as praying is a pretty big deal for them. This seems pretty simple to me, not sure if it has logical foundation like.

I hope it never comes to this again.

That expands your point - but it does not explain why you think that - ?

[fiction-factory]

that was a selective quote. What about the bit where RM suggested:
Less mosques
Less muslims

I assumed he meant fewer mosques= fewer muslims

It doesn't. Ands even if it did, what kind of society would we be if we refused people the right to worship as they choose simply because it is a different form of worship to that of the indigenous population.

Have you been to Abu Dhabi? Christian churches everywhere - and why not?

[youngmafbog]

If you are closing down problem Mosques it makes sense to alos restrict the opening of new ones or the problem will simply move 2 doors up the road.

Whilst it is supposedly true for the Christian faith to be able to pray anywhere I think you will find the devout (and the extreme ones) insist on Mosque attendance. Therefore restricting the opening of Mosques could result in the reduction of Muslims in some areas.

As for where to put the suspects i think they are looking at house arrest, meaning they are 'imprisoned' in their own home.

[youngmafbog]

What has Christian churches in Abu Dhabi have to do with it? Do they preach hatred and annihilation of the 'Muslim infidel'? I think not.

I have read back and you are quite correct, so I can only apologise for my sarcasm and wrongly assuming that you were referring to Mosques.

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, if churches in this country had been built thousands of years ago that would have been when Christ was a teenager.
