Meanwhile in France...

...while everyone gets their panties in a wad over the Confederate flag and jump on the bandwagon the media has happily built, notice that in Grenoble some Islamist psycho(s) behead somebody and raise an Islamist flag over a factory, no doubt all in the name of peace and love.

Anyone see this crap on the news? I sure hadn't seen a peep out of it except online.

Good thing they raised an "Islamist flag" so now the Europeans will move to ban it...right?

Yeah, I got a CNN alert this morning.  Scant on details though.

I can't help but think that, should there be an outright religious war between religious freedom and tyrannical Islam, the front-line will be France.

The front line is currently Iraq and Syria, but it's spreading in a way where there is no true "front line" anymore.

I wouldn't consider Iraq or Syria to have been bastions of religious freedom (or any kind of freedom) before the advent of ISIS.  So, as I see things, it is not the front line.  But it is the front line of an intra-Islamic war between the Sunnis and the Shiites.

That being said, the "Socialist" Iraqi & Syrian Baathist regimes were, at least on paper, religiously tolerant.

It's been all over the news here about the shooting of tourists on the beach in Tunisia :(  one guy threw himself in front of his girlfriend , he got shot in the back , but they both survived thank goodness .

When I heard about this , yet more targeting of tourists , it makes me think that the underlying reasons for terrorist attacks is just pure hatred of someone else's culture or beliefs . I think unless that's addressed terrorism is going to be around .

And when I heard about the confederate flag thing going on over in the USA , it made me wonder what are all the historical re-enactment groups going to do !! I know I'm making light of this , but seriously that flag is a part of history for good or bad , slavery has happened , it was bad , now it's over, it's time to move on I think . Getting rid of a flag will never change that . I think it's PC gone mad .
