France can keep it's soul
America is a different kind of country than France,unfortunatly,we seem to let everyone in,even the illegal aliens. We have lost our soul. I have nothing against people of other cultures than my own,but they shouldn’t impose their culture on another country. When people immigrate to another country the least they can do is learn the language andassiulate. They ofcourse, can keep their religion, but must practice it peaceable. France should learn a lesson from the events of this last summer and fall. There’s an old saying, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." I say When in France do as the French do. If you don’t like French laws and culture move some place else. Come to America, we take anyone!

The writers say the violence sparked by the publication of cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad shows the need to fight for secular values and freedom.
The statement is published in Charlie Hebdo, one of several European papers to reprint the caricatures.
The images, first published in Denmark, have angered Muslims across the world.
One showed the Prophet Muhammad, whose depiction is banned in Islam, as a terrorist bomber.
Many newspapers defended their decision to reprint the cartoons on the grounds of freedom of expression.

Hi
I’m looking to get into Paris from Calais on the train, specifically the Calais Tunnel Terminal.
I will be travelling with friends near Le Touquet. They are returning to the UK on the Eurotunnel service (with their car). I want to go as far as Calais and leave them to make my way to Paris.
Is it possible to get a train at the Eurotunnel station? Is that Calais Frethun? Should I reserve ahead or can I get a ticket there and simply get on a train?
My thanks in advance for all help.

The French government had a simple solution for any lack of respect among the young – send in the riot police.
Or at least that was the ambitious French Interior Minister Nicholas Sarkozy’s solution.
Back in October last year, he announced plans to deploy hundreds of riot police in difficult neighbourhoods to crack down on crime, and offer reassurance to householders.
“Do you want us to get rid of this trash?” he asked a housewife as he toured the tower blocks of the Paris suburbs, referring to youths who had been causing trouble in the area.
A miscarriage of justice calls an entire system into question
IT HAS been a landmark case in French judicial history in more ways than one. Since mid-January, a parliamentary inquiry has been studying one of the country’s biggest post-war miscarriages of justice: how six innocent people, jailed for years in connection with a paedophile ring, were acquitted on appeal only last December, after it turned out that key evidence against them had been made up; and how seven other innocents spent months behind bars. The testimony of the acquitted has been televised live, gripping the public.
