Yeah, Spiffor, I have the same conflict as they do. I support lifting the ban, but also do not want to cave into the terroists' demands. |
The best way is not to change your minds or your ways then. As a foreigner, there is very little you can do about the headscarf ban (just like I can do very little about American policies that displease me, like gun rights for example). However, what you are doing is the good, democratic thing to do: you discuss about it, you share your point of view.
French Muslims also use democratic tools to see this law change, and they will have more effectiveness, as they can vote and as they can protest. I hope they'll continue to do what they did until today: to democratically fight a law they oppose. And I hope the terrorists won't change anything about their methods, except maybe modify the timing.

Militants: 12 Nepalese 'killed'
BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- An Islamic Web site has posted gruesome still images and videos of what it says is the killing of 12 Nepalese hostages by a militant group in Iraq.
Footage posted on Tuesday showed one beheading and 11 others apparently shot from an assault rifle at the back of the head.
The video shows a masked man in desert camouflage apparently slitting the throat of a blindfolded man lying on the ground, The Associated Press reported.
The blindfolded man moans and a shrill wheeze is heard, then the masked man displays the head to the camera before resting it on the decapitated body.
CNN is working to confirm the authenticity of the images. The still images appear to have been taken from the video.
The Nepalese Foreign Ministry in Kathmandu said it had no official confirmation of what appears to have taken place.
"We have carried out the sentence of God against 12 Nepalese who came from their country to fight the Muslims and to serve the Jews and the Christians ... believing in Buddha as their God," said a statement on the site by Jaish Ansar al-Sunna.
The claims came as another Islamic group held two French journalists hostage, threatening to kill them unless the government of France revokes a law banning Muslim children from wearing headscarves in public schools. (Full story)
The Web site statement vowed to keep fighting the Americans in Iraq.
"America today has used all its force, as well as the help of others, to fight Islam under the so-called war on terror, which is nothing but a vicious crusade against Muslims," the statement said.
At the end of the four-minute video, a man reads another statement off-camera, vowing to fight the Iraqi government.
"We will work on exterminating them until the last fighter," he said.
Iyad Mansoor, director-general of the Morning Star Company, a Jordan-based services firm which had contracted the 12 Nepalese workers for jobs in Iraq, said he had no information on the beheading of the Nepalese captives.
"I'm shocked to hear such news," he told AP. "The last I heard was that the Nepalese government was in contact with Iraqi clergymen and others in an effort to set the 12 men free."
Journalist Akhilesh Upadhyay told CNN from Nepal that the news had been greeted from the men's families with shock.
Sudarshan Khadka, 23, the elder brother of hostage Ramesh Khadka, 19, told him he had just heard the news and was not sure whether it was true but was "stunned." He did not know how to break the news to his parents, he said.
Jaish Ansar al-Sunna said on August 23 it had kidnapped 12 Nepali citizens "for their cooperation with the United States in fighting Islam and its people" and described them as working for a Nepalese company that works under a Jordanian firm doing business in Iraq.
Last week a videotape was aired on the Arabic-language television network Al-Jazeera purportedly showing the 12.
Nepalese Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Prakash Sharan Mahat said then that his government had asked Al-Jazeera to help it establish a relationship with the militant group behind the abductions.
In that video, a masked man wearing military fatigues aimed a machine gun at the men. |

I guess those crusading, imperialist Nepalese just got what they deserved, huh?

Terorism attack Spain ---> Spanish vote a government that do everything terrorist demands without even asking anything in return.
Those days I´m ashamed of being Spanish "our" acts retiring from Iraq are telling terrorists that their methods (attacking innocent people) work.
Now the super Minister of Defense forbids Spanish soldiers in Afganistan to shot against prisonners that are escaping. How are they supposed to keep the prisoners?
