Well, maybe I wont go that far, but this is encouraging.
French senate approves burqa ban
Paris, France (CNN) -- The French senate approved Tuesday a law banning any veils that cover the face -- including the burqa, the full-body covering worn by some Muslim women -- making France the first European country to plan such a measure.
The law passed by a vote of 246 to 1, with about 100 abstentions coming essentially from left-leaning politicians.
The legislation was overwhelmingly approved by the lower house of parliament in July and will go into effect next spring.

The law imposes a fine of 150 euros ($190) and/or a citizenship course as punishment for wearing a face-covering veil. Forcing a woman to wear a niqab or a burqa will be punishable by a year in prison or a 15,000-euro ($19,000) fine, the government said, calling it "a new form of enslavement that the republic cannot accept on its soil."

Let's see if they keep their "pair"....
-
Sounds alot like someone telling someone else that they can't practice religious freedom in public to me...
-
french grow a pair?
Until 200 militant muslims march on paris and they surrender that is, they have a history of throwing in the towel.
-
The french go down like a prom dress. I think that a bunch of girl scouts could take over that country.
-
"French military". ;D
"OMG! I am sooooo super fantastic mad right now!" Note: When you read that, don't forget to say it in your mind with a lisp. ;)

They have different bayonets and boots, and neither one will fit the weird ass rifle only one of them is carrying...Looks shot once, and dropped twice,... ;)
Hey, that's a nice multi-tool, and canteen pouch though,..... ::)
Viva le pan'zies!!!!

LOL! ;D Doesn't the guy on the right have the womens rounded soles on his boots that "tone your butt while you walk"?!? :(
Yeah, be afraid... Be VERY afraid!

Boy, are you a bunch of Dumb asses.
First, Sarcozy has been telling Obummer to MTFU for a while now, and France has not been as wimpy since he took office,
about 4 years ago.
Secondly, those aren't French soldiers, any one with eyes can clearly see the Legion Crest on their beret's
-
And the so-called "weird ass rifle" is a FAMAS bullpup, one of the better of the modern bullpups available to the military forces today.
And bayonets are knives too - they don't have to fit the rifle, especially on a bullpup.
I'm no Frencie-lover, but you need to remember, it was normally the leaders who surrendered. I have seen French military and police up close, and some of them are tough-ass MFers. Remember the French Resistance in WWII.

In WW1 my grandfather wasnt much keen on the normal frogs, but had a lot of respect for the foreign legion he served alongside with.
The italians on the other hand I cant really repeat what he said about them LOL Suffice to say that when they got moved to the frontline to rest our guys and the poms they always lost ground, after a little while they used to stay behind them with bayonets drawn and heaven help the first poor bastard that turned back to run or abandon their position.
That said, the old fella and his mates used to chat and have a drink sometimes with the germans LOL it depended which ones came up, if it was the normal german conscript they used to have a cease fire, if the prussians replaced them then it was on for young and old.
Weird tales can be had by listening to the older generation.
-
They both appear to be carrying the same bayonet.
The guy on the right is carrying a second knife on is left side. If you look under his weapon you can see the other one.
-
The French can always be counted on to make a good sauce...
That said, I started using BIC razors again after Sarkozy took over leadership. The dude's a bulldog... And his wife is hot. The French attitude has certainly improved under his leadership.
Offered for consideration by Crusader, who firmly believes Sarkozy is on the right side.
-
And the minute ANY foreign military steps foot on their soil... Watch the white flags fly.
10 minutes later, their kissing anyone elses butt who happens to pose a threat. Better look at those history books a little closer.

"Peace, through superior quiche."
-
Those are legionairs and that means they are not french. Probaly American, British or German. They have to recruit real men from foreign countries. (Ones that have either kicked their butts or saved them.)

Not too savvy on my uniforms, just making an observation. They like Bullpups, fine, wear bayonets and carry no rifle that fits it fine.
Legionaires, the only aspect of the French Military, (that's somehow not French troops), that has a pair.
Seems Sarkozy has some also. Good for them.
We'll see when the attacks similar to Britain and Spain, occur....
-
That almost looks like an AK bayonet. Bill T.

The AP and UPI reported that the French government announced after the London bombings that it has raised its terror alert level from Run to Hide. The only two higher levels in France are Surrender and Collaborate.
The rise in the alert level was precipitated by a recent fire which destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively disabling their military.
French Ban Fireworks at Euro Disney (AP), Paris, March 5, 2003: The French government announced today that it is imposing a ban on the use of fireworks at Euro Disney. The decision comes the day after a nightly fireworks display at the park, located just 30 miles outside of Paris, caused the soldiers at a nearby French Army garrison to surrender to a group of Czech tourists.

The french have to import real men to do thier fighting.
