What’s wrong w/ the French? If their ambassador has been asked to leave, he should leave! That’s a part of the Geneva conventions. Guest countries don’t get to force their diplomats to stay in a country where they’re no longer welcome

Oh for God’s sake. This has nothing to do with Islam. Why are they buddying up with China and Russia if this is an anti-infidel thing.
