French consider naming streets after Arafat:

I’ll just print the whole article since it’s so short…

Several French municipalities governed by communist and left-wing majorities are considering naming a street or a square after Yasser Arafat.

The French police intelligence service, Renseignements Generaux, reportedly warned the Ministry of Interior that such initiatives might trigger heated polemics and tensions between Jews and Muslims, especially neighborhoods ridden by ethnic violence.

In several suburban cities near Paris and Lyons governed by communist mayors, large Muslim and Jewish populations live side by side.

So let’s review. Various parts of the French government have…

…refused to hand over a murderer to the US until we promised to take the death penalty off the table. (Ira Einhorn)
…granted honorary citizenship to a convicted cop killer. (Mumia Abu Jamal)

And now…

…naming streets after the leader of the world’s most famous terrorist organization. (Yasser Arafat)

For a country that complains an awful lot about war, they sure do offer a lot of aide to murderers. No wonder they let the Nazi’s roll over them. They were probably welcoming their heroes.
