"Feeling Bleu"

Letter below in International Herald Tribune, the international edition of the New York Times.  Roger Cohen is a reliable dhimmi, who never met an apologia for Islam he did not like.  For example, he was recently on an Intelligence squared debate (around May) about the US policy in the Middle East and managed to talk for an hour or more without once mentioning Hamas.  Rather like talking of WW2 and not mentioning the Nazis.
In this article he talks of the problems of immigrants in France,....
......in contrast to immigrants in the US, with the implied or explicit criticism being for the French hosts, not at all for the immigrants.  Whereas there is plenty of evidence that Muslim immigrants are taught, preached at, to remain separate.

Roger Cohen reports that Les Blues’ left-back Eric Abidal converted to Islam on meeting his wife of Algerian descent and then “took the time to read the words” of the French National Anthem, upon which he decided that he would not sing it, as it had the words “To arms, citizens!”. (“Feeling Bleu”, Globalist, June 25).

One assumes that Abidal’s conversion to Islam was because his wife, a Muslim, could not marry a non-Muslim according to Shariah law.  And one assumes further that Abidal did not do the same due diligence on his new religion’s key tenets as he did on the French national anthem. Otherwise, would he not be equally — or indeed more —  disturbed by calls to “... kill the unbelievers wherever you find them” (Surah 2.191), or one of the many other Koranic verses calling for violence to be done to non-Muslims?

This is the same Eric Abidal, by the way, who pulled himself out of the last match with South Africa, because he was "not in the mindset to play", the poor dear....
