The Associated Press reports today that the French Immigration Minister is proposing a national debate which may lead to the ban on full-body burqas on French streets. You can read the whole article here. This is an attempt to crack down on Muslim fundamentalists in France. Kudos to the French for having the guts to raise the subject! They may not be brave enough to defend their country with arms when facing a military invasion, but right now they are the only Western country which is not intimidated by political correctness to protect itself from the insidious spread of the radical Islam. It is reported in the article, that earlier last week some illegal Afghan immigrants were sent back to Kabul on a charter plane. We in this country are so beaten into submission by the aggressive Civil Liberties Union that we don't even dare to publicly raise those issues. Well, I don't think that the proliferation of radical Islam is such a problem in the US as it is in France, so we may be more tolerant just until it endangers our survival. But it is still good to see that a Western democracy is capable of fighting back and assert the principles on which it is based without being too scared to "offend" the newcomers who have no interest in assimilating into the culture of the country kind (stupid?) enough to let them in.

Yes, this is quite a daring statement from the French Immigration Minister. Can't imagine anyone in the US government ever mentioning anything like that.
