Now, tell me, Tejek, if 2006 France/Europe is but the modern-day avatar of 1956 America, what of her Muslim Wrights, Baldwins and Gibsons? I'm not aware of any exodus of France's Muslim luminaries to the Disneyesque Gulag, the so-called Land of the Freak --how come? No Muslim intellectuals have fled France to find solace and freedom in America --quite the contrary... Just see what happened to our would-be-intellectual-refugees: There are a whole host of reasons. In part, they would not be well received here......not after 9/11. Secondly, they are from Algeria......much like the Mexicans here, they like to be able to go home for visits from time to time. Thirdly, they would have to learn English. Fourthly, it takes money to emigrate. If they can't get jobs, how can they get the money to leave? But all that aside, it does not change the fact that the French are racist and that Muslims face discrimination in that country.
