French Commies wake up to threat of Islamism
The New York Times (via The Astute Bloggers) reports:
André Gerin, a Communist Party legislator and mayor of Vénissieux, a Lyon suburb with many Muslims from North Africa, began the affair in late June by initiating a motion, signed by 57 other legislators, calling for the parliamentary commission.I'm glad to see that even some of these type of leftists are coming to their senses. They might also think to reconsider their communism, and definitely socialism, something that Islam often supports as well.
“The burqa is the tip of the iceberg,” Mr. Gerin said. “Islamism really threatens us.”
In a letter to the government, he wrote: “It is time to take a stand on this issue that concerns thousands of citizens who are worried to see imprisoned, totally veiled women.”
