| France's Islamic suburbs 'separate communities in a divided nation' |
| 2011-10-08 |
| France's run-down city suburbs are becoming ‘separate Islamic societies’ cut off from the state, a report has warned. Arab communities are increasingly rejecting French values and identity to immerse themselves in Muslim culture and lifestyle, it was found. Muslim pupils often boycott school dinners if the food is not halal and most Arabs oppose marriages to white French citizens, the study by respected political scientist Gilles Kepel revealed. As a result, France – whose five million Muslims make up Europe’s largest Islamic population – was turning into a ‘divided nation’, the study called Suburbs of the Republic found. Dr Kepel wrote: ‘In some areas, a third of the population of the town does not hold French nationality, and many residents are drawn to an Islamic identity rather than simply rejecting or failing to find a secular one. ‘French schools, which are rigorously non-religious, have traditionally been seen as having the role of training young citizens of the republic. But local officials say Islamic pupils are heading home for a halal lunch. ‘Most people in France do not object to mixed marriages, but in the suburbs we were surprised to find a very large proportion of Muslim respondents said they were opposed to marriages with non-Muslims.’ The study was commissioned by the Institut Montaigne think-tank. It will make recommendations to the government in January. |

| #4 The study was commissioned by the Institut Montaigne think-tank. It will make recommendations to the government in January A real Planet Chiron mind-worm that one. The Mind Worms get their name from their primary method of attack. After finding prey, they assault their target with a barrage of terrifying psychic attacks, paralizing them with fear. After the victim is paralyzed in terror, they burrow into the still-conscious host's brain and carefully implant their ravenous larvae. They are also able to burrow through most substances that are softer than Plasma-Steel. Only the most disciplined soldiers can resist this horrific attack long enough to trigger the Flame Guns that hold them at bay. |

| #3 because solid walls = "Ghetto" = PC/actual bad. If they impose internal walls, it's "diversity" and "cultural heritage" non-dilution = "PC good". You wouldn't understand |

| #2 Build walls around them, with manned (armed) gates. If you come out, you can't get back in. And why should any of them want to come out, since they don't want to mix with the French? (That way, the women who don't want to live in the 7th Century can leave, and the clowns who want them to can't follow and murder them.) "we were surprised to find a very large proportion of Muslim respondents said they were opposed to marriages with non-Muslims" Then you're dumber than a box of rocks and shouldn't be let out of the house without close supervision by someone with a clue. |

| #1 I hate to inject math into such a lovely day, but how often can you subdivide a nation until it no longer is one? |
