I certainly dont agree with that. Colonies dont count, you do not become a multicultural country when you conquer some foreign land. You only become an empire.
You become a multicultural country when you deliberately accommodate the culture of your colonies in law.
Which France did.Learn what you are trying to talk about before you talk about it.Thats easy. In a country with a history going back thousands of years, something existing in just for a few decades, and especially rising significantly only after the turn of the millenium, is not traditional. It is a new development and long-term consequences are yet to be seen.
This is absolute nonsense. Tell me, then, how many of the traditions of any country genuinely go back thousands of years? How many of them are of wide public observance?
The various days of remembrance/memorial, let us start there. They date, and indeed many of them are selected based upon the events of, the First World War. That's about a hundred years.
Halloween as celebrated in the US/UK is a little bit older. It's recorded to 1895 in the UK and 1911/1915 depending on the source in the US. Still about a hundred years.
National governments, the greatest of all traditional institutions, date to their founding. Would you, perhaps, care to take a wager on how old the government of France is currently? Okay, pay up. The Fifth Republic dates to
1958.
How about celeberating Christmas? Well, it depends on where you go. In Japan, Christmas got popular in the 1960s through American TV. It's now almost as big a thing there as it is in most Western countries, entirely traditional. That's only 50 years. A successful ad campaign in the 1970s managed to so associate eating KFC with Christmastime in the Japanese mind that KFC continues to get slammed on Christmas Day in Japan up through this year. How can it be this year, when it hasn't even happened? They have to take
reservations at a fast-food place to have a hope of managing demand. Right about now they're running out of places. That's only 40 years for something to be a tradition.
Men used to wear undershirts in the US with
everything. But they stopped doing it in the '40s in cinema because it was considered edgy and sexy. By the '50s, nobody wore undershirts anymore. The tradition changed. That's sixty years.
You're posting nonsense, and you
know you're posting nonsense.
France is not screwing their muslim community at all.
And for the record, I dont agree with any bans on burka or burkini,
You posted these in paragraphs that were next to each other. I don't think anything more impressively demonstrates the utter incoherence of your argument.
You don't believe they're screwing with them, except you object to their actions, presumably because they are screwing with them?
I did not say muslims = nazis. I said that ultraconservative, extremist, burka-wearing* muslims = nazis.
Again, you demonstrate total incoherence in your views. Nazism is an ideology that has immediate, total impact on how someone interacts with the outside world.
A burka is not an ideology. It is not even a reliable indicator of an ideology. It is a fashion preference. It in no way necessarily speaks to one's behavior to others. If you wish to argue this point, recall that we are debating this subject because of the existence of the burkini, which is a form of clothing any truly fundamentalist follower of Islam would be utterly horrified by the existence of.
