France's Permanent Intifada

Submitted by aramkr, Oct 27, 2006 21:13

I 'm beginning to think Australia is the only country left with a will to survive. They have, in several instances, laid down the law to their muslims; THere is no alternative to adapting to western values if you are goin g to live in the West. I wish someone in the US would just come out and say it.
