Good Price discount mini-market in Colombes has been told by the local housing authority, from which it rents its premises, that it has not followed the conditions on the lease that stipulate that the shop must act as a "general food store." The authority argues that all members of the local community are not being served properly if there are no alcohol or pork products in the Good Price store, which is run as a franchise and which last year replaced another small supermarket. “The mayor of Colombes, Nicole Goueta, went there herself and asked the owner to diversify the range of products by adding alcohol and non-halal meats,” the mayor’s chief of staff, Jérôme Besnard, told The Telegraph. He said locals, particularly older residents, had complained that they could no longer get the full range of products at Good Price, which replaced a regular supermarket, and had to travel some distance now to do their shopping. “We want a social mix. We don’t want any area that is only Muslim or any area where there are no Muslims,” Mr Besnard said, adding that the town’s reaction would have been the same had a kosher shop opened on that spot. The Colombes housing authority argues that the store breaches French republican principles by prioritising a certain group within society rather than catering to all categories. It has taken legal action to bring an end to the lease which would normally run until 2019. The case goes to court in October. Soulemane Yalcin, who runs the shop under franchise, said he was merely catering to the demands of his customers in this area of large public housing estates. “It’s business,” said Mr Yalcin. “I look around me and I target what I see. The lease states ‘general food store and related activities’ - but it all depends on how you interpret ‘related activities’,” he told Le Parisien newspaper. He has hired a lawyer to fight the housing authority’s bid to get him evicted. The row in Colombes came as another town - this time in the south of France - decided to take action to stop another perceived breach of republican principles . The mayor of Pennes-Mirabeau, near Marseille, is seeking to ban an event at a water park that is open only to burkini-clad women and children. The event organised by a local community group said the need for modest swimwear was because there would be male lifeguards on duty at the Speedwater Park venue. Burkinis are banned at municipal pools in France, as are women-only events, but private venues are in theory allowed to host them. But the mayor of Pennes-Mirabeau said he was outraged by this “provocation” and that he would use a bylaw to ban it on the grounds that it is likely to cause public disorder. By selling 'pork' the city becomes at ease again?? What a world wide view of what 'good' and 'peace' is... At any given time, if all goes as the world turns, the whole world will be as the US is with all of its' yes's and all of it's no's. Peace is good. Godly Peace is better. Allowing individuals 'true' freedom to worship without fear is also better... Luke 1:68-75 (The words of Zacharias, the father of John, <when he> was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying, 68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 The oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear, 75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life. Revelation 22:16 "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." In The Name of The Son of God. Amen. Edited March 28, 2017 by delade3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Islam has been doing Jihad - Holy Wars for 1400yrs. The Crusaders learned the term "holy war" from them as a matter of fact. THe US Navy was formed to fight the marauding Barbary pirates to protect the American merchants against them, the Barbary Pirates were Muslim soldiers. That is a false comparison & a false argument that is always used , and the Catholic church is responsible for much less then Islamic Jihad has done. It is not an equivalent in number or moral equivalent to bring up the Catholic church and pretend islam is a religion of peace the fact is Islamic Jihad has been going on for the last 14ooyrs to the present and it is still going on now, it has not stopped. The Spanish Inquisition lasted 356 yrs. Look up the scholar Bill Warner and his video on Jihad vs. the Crusades https://www.politicalislam.com/trilogy-project/statistical-islam/ Mr. Warner's video displays a Dynamic Battle Map of Mediterrean & Europe where the Islamic Jihad was set out to conquer Classical Civilization which led to the Crusades. Transcribed from his video -> Bill Warner Phd, states , "There were 548 Jihadi Battles against Classical Civilization which doesn't include Africa, India, Afghanistan. Islam burst out of the Arabian Pennisula and immediately started attacking the Middle East , Southern France & Spain, The Navy of Islam would attack coastal towns, kill, rob, rape, and take slaves. Over a million slaves were taken out of Europe into the Islamic world. Over 200 battles fought in Spain alone. This ongoing fight that lasted over 400 yrs, the Christians are going to push back the Muslims, Constantinople has fallen and the Jihad now comes to Eastern Europe It's pushed out now out of Spain, Northern Africa is now completely Islamic, the Middle East is now completely Islamic. This is all Jihad, relentless Jihad , And why is it so relentless? because Mohamed was relentless & they are good students of Mohamed. It was tradition when a brand - new Sultan would come to power , he would immediately try to launch new wars.Because he was going to be noted in his Islamic history as to how well he fought against the Kafir. So that is what the Jihad looked like over those 548 battles. Jihad has been with us for 1400yrs. The Crusades were defensive wars. The Crusaders were trying to free their Christian brothers and sisters from Islamic Jihad. THere is no comparison between Jihad and the Crusades. The motivation behind the Crusades was freeing Christians the motivation for Islamic Jihad was enslaving Kafirs." Well now, SaudiArabia is Muslim, and the most brutal, repressive regime in the world..yet GWBush had no problems kissing and walking hand in hand with one of these despotic leaders...I guess greedy business interests override everything else right? https://melaniekillingervowell.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/bush-kisses-saudi-prince-4-15-09.png?w=455 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EQUALITY people not about if I want to drink alcohol or eat pork !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
