@beowulf: how many high-ranking members of the Obama administration have ethnic or religious ties to Israel? Now you know why the US still is in Afghanistan, and why it was in Iraq for so long…
Now you know why France is removing their troops from Afghanistan.
Based on what can you make such claims ? The only person among the three who has made in the past statements about religion is Yamina Benguigui . The other twos , I am not sure about their religion. It is not because they are linked to North Africa through family that they are muslims. North Africans come with many religions too and a lot of people are atheists too.. Unless your claim has something to do with the name but them again in North Africa the governments impose on you the name with an arabic sounding version
whether you are muslim or not.
The new French minister for woman’s rights is a Muslim. Lol
Yes and you can lol at it cuz you don’t know about the rights of women in Islam..
Everyone knows they have no rights under the barbarism of Ismam.
