Jealous over the fact that American flags seem to get all
the attention from fanatics worldwide, France has opened a bid to get their
flag burned with the publishing of inflammatory cartoons that purportedly
deride the prophet of Islam. The publisher of the magazine was quoted as
saying:
“Pourquoi est-ce que seulement le drapeau américain brûlé ?
La nôtre est les mêmes couleurs ! C'est encore plus facile à faire, avec
seulement trois bandes, comme la crème glacée. Nous voulons que cette
indignation à la fin ! Brûler des drapeaux français trop, ou sinon c'est la
discrimination !”
(Why is only the American flag burned? Ours is the same
colors! It's even easier to make, with just three stripes, like the ice cream.
We want this outrage to end! Burn French flags too, or else it's
discrimination!)
Hopefully soon they will see the glorious light from their
nation’s flag proudly displayed burning across the world side-by-side with that
of the country they helped win her independence from the British: The United
States of America; for we truly burn together, as a shining beacon of free
expression the world over!
