  • I’m not saying immigration is the cause of the problem, I am saying that most people in most european countries blame it on immigrants and refugees.

    Actually, yes, you said that immigration was the problem, that’s what “we have an immigration problem” means. If you genuinely don’t see the problem with that sentence, picture someone in the 1930s saying “we have a Jews problem”. Does that mean that this person thinks that antisemitism is a problem, or does that mean that they are antisemitic?

    What we have is a racism problem, not an immigration problem.





  • If you aren’t Jewish

    Circumcision is also done by muslims. I have no idea how common it is, though, it might depend on the country.

    Riad Sattouf, a famous Syro-French comic artist with a muslim father, wrote about his circumcision in one of his comics. (It was done in Syria when he was already something like 9 years old, so he actually had memories of it. From what his says, it was a normal thing for muslims to do in Syria at the time. I don’t know about now.)

    On the other end, none of the muslims men I know here in France have told me they’ve been circumcised… but I haven’t actually asked them, so who knows.



  • If it’s the 6th Republic and new constitution stuff that make you think of populism, it’s not really the case. The current French constitution was more or less imposed by De Gaulle in very specific circumstances (the political crisis caused by the Algerian independance war). A number of people (among which Mélenchon) think it gives way too much power to the president and that we should go back to a more parliamentary system.
