Some November afternoon in Warsaw... Poland Solidarity with France [44]
Earlier today I went to French embassy to sign register of condoleances. Inspite of very bad (rainy and cold) weather, there were a lot of people, huge lines, TV stations, including TVN... I was amazed, a lof of Poles came, both women and men, all ages, all walks of life, some could have some personal relationships with France but most probably did not, they were just p..sed and felt solidarity... Fortunately, real life Poles are most often very different from a lot of those met on the net, including PF ;). There were also foreigners, including just in front of me, some Russians, a Japanese couple and also (most interesting to me) a young Algerian. When the guy understood that I spoke French, he started to talk to me and I asked him where he was from. He told me from Algeria but he meant to show up at embassy and sign register because 1. France was the target 2. he had 2 (Muslim Algerian friends who as musicians played on Friday at Bataclan Theater in Paris and were shot dead by the terrorists (he reminded me that Muslims are by very far the no.1 victims of islamists, which I knew) and 3. to show that as a (moderate) Muslim he had nothing to do whatsoever with islamists. He told me that when he says that he is ... Muslim, people tell him "no, you can't be, you are .... normal" (....) and yes, because ignorants believe that all Muslims are dangerous terrorists... He also told me that he really liked yesterday Marine Le Pen's speech in which she clearly states that we all need to eradicate "fundamentalist islamism", which we all can agree to, including moderate Muslims who are of course (pure common sense but too hard for fascists to understand) respectable citizens and respect the laws of their countries of residence. Now, we know more about Friday's victims and of course a lof of Muslims, Jews, Blacks, or whatever you can think of were among them. Terrorists shoot at anyone.
Well, the Polish people have responded with compassion and solidarity. Thank you!
PS: no need for the fascists to vomit their racism and their lack of compassion to innocent victims.
