France: A war of Civilization

Quote:
....two flags on which were written the Muslim profession of faith.

Valls told French television on Sunday that the world was engaged in a "war against terrorism".

"We cannot lose this war because it's fundamentally a war of civilisation. It's our society, our civilisation that we are defending," Valls said.

imho this statement by a political leader is a important declaration.

It is a truly sad commentary that the French are demonstrating more courage and conviction on this matter than is the present US administration.

Closer to home for them with the huge Muslim (Algerian) immigration they 'suffered'....otoh, Obama keeps importing more 'refugee's ' that come for radically exposed backgrounds with little to no education or skills....perfect petri dish material.
