Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader of France’s National Front Party, called today for a ban on the public wearing of veils by Muslims and yarmulkes by Jews, thereby inflaming the existing religious tensions caused by the earlier publication of offensive cartoons of Prophet Mohammed in the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Far-Right Politician Wants to Ban Yarmulkas in France
Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader of France’s National Front Party, called today for a ban on the public wearing of veils by Muslims and yarmulkes by Jews, thereby inflaming the existing religious tensions caused by the earlier publication of offensive cartoons of Prophet Mohammed in the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Le Pen has said that religious head coverings should be barred “in stores, on public transport and on the streets,” adding that “it is obvious that if the veil is banned, the kippah is banned in public as well,” according to a report in the Le Monde newspaper.
She also reiterated her position that public prayer and government funding of mosques should be outlawed, and that kosher and halal foods should no longer be served in schools.
President Francois Hollande condemned Le Pen’s remarks, saying, “Everything that tears people apart, opposes them and divides them is inappropriate and we must apply the rules, the only rules that we know, the rules of the Republic and secularism.”
Le Pen’s party won nearly 18 percent of the vote in the first round of this year’s presidential elections.

Time for Jews to leave France and all of Europe. Maybe time for us to go to Israel and help them out. The clouds seem to be getting darker for us. This is not a doomsday message chas veshalom. Moshiach must be coming.

Better Idea
Why not require everyone to wear kippas?

“Everything that tears people apart, opposes them and divides them is inappropriate and we must apply the rules, the only rules that we know, the rules of the Republic and secularism.”
I agree. Lets all agree on monochrome, one-size-fits-all, outfits for everyone too! Who needs individuality? And don’t forget your earphones and weights, a la Harrison Bergeron!

Jews can just wear hats or caps in public, as everyone used to do until about 50 years ago.
Even the Rambam
When the Rambam was still in Spain, when the fanatical Almohades Islamic sect was taking over, he dressed as an Arab to avoid being murdered.
Equal in the grave - by Kurt Vonnegut
Everyone Will Be Equal is based on the short story Harrison Bergeron by author Kurt Vonnegut, 2081 depicts a dystopian future in which, thanks to the 212th Amendment to the Constitution and the unceasing vigilance of the United States Handicapper General, everyone is finally equal… The strong wear weights, the beautiful wear masks and the intelligent wear earpieces that fire off loud noises to keep them from taking unfair advantage of their brains. It is a poetic tale of triumph and tragedy about a broken family, a brutal government, and an act of defiance that changes everything.
G-d bless America
In an interview with a Moslem, originally from Turkey, he said,“ I found it easier to be a Moslem here, in America, then in Turkey.”
