Anti-Muslim demonstrations have broken out in France
By SELINA SYKES - Sun, Nov 15, 2015

CROWDS of extreme right-wing protesters have disturbed a solidarity march in France as news breaks that at least one of the terrorists responsible for the slaughters in Paris was a Syrian refugee.

A peaceful demonstration taking place in the centre of Lille, northern France, was interrupted by right-wingers appearing to belong to the Front National.

The unrest came as Front National leader Marine Le Pen declared French people “are no longer safe” and called for France to take back control of its borders.

Many people have taken to the streets across France today to show their solidarity with Paris despite the French government banning demonstrations from taking place for security reasons.

Banners of peaceful protesters read: “We are not afraid”, “Pray for Paris” and “Je suis Paris” in homage to the terrorist attacks on Charlie Hebdo in January.

Mourning Parisians have laid flowers and candles at the six locations where the gruesome attacks took place.

4. Wow, Europe is melting down big time

The jihadis have decided to go for it and Isis has enough idiotic young people who will blow themselves up and kill mercilessly since that is what they've been taught.

Next year at this time I sense they'll be reduced in number, it just can't continue..

5. And we persecute our Mexican neighbors who only want to work in our fields

6. Marine Le Pen: "Take back control of our borders." Maybe the Donald can build a wall for France.

Conservatives seem to view borders as a kind of magic that will protect them from the rest of the world. Newsflash to conservatives: Walling off problems does not solve them. We are all part of the world. And the world is a part of us.

Help solve the problem. Don't create them or make them worse. Use the money that you were going to spend on that wall to feed someone somewhere.

Unless these terrorists strolled in from Germany, Spain or Switzerland, a stronger border would not have prevented it. Heck the US has strong borders (no open borders here) and terrorists had a bit of success here too.

That says it all.
