Altid positivt at de føler sig franske. Spørgsmålet er selvfølgelig bare hvad dette franskhedsbegreb indebærer for franskmændene på længere sigt (LFPC).

In 2006, 4.4 million people live in ZUS, which is 7% of the French population. The population of metropolitan ZUS has diminished by 2.3% since 1999, that is – 0.3 % on average per year; this reduction is less sharp than in the preceding period, namely 0.6% per year between 1990 and 1999. However the regions Île-de-France, Languedoc-Roussillon, Aquitaine, Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur and Corse have seen their populations in ZUS increase since 1999.

The characteristics of the inhabitants of the ZUS have changed litte since 1999. They are younger than in the surrounding urban areas; more than one in three is below 20 years of age in ZUS compared to 1 in 4 within their conurbations. The proportion of foreigners is higher: 17.5 % of the inhabitants of ZUS are foreigners (compared to 8.2% in their conurbations), of whom almost half originate from the countries of North Africa, and 10.2% have acquired French citizenship.

…According to the study “Trajectoires et Origines”, immigrants, that is to say persons born abroad and of foreign nationality, and the descendants of immigrants, that is to say persons at least one of whose parents was an immigrant, represent more than half of the people aged between 18 and 50 living in ZUS.

In the ZUS of the Parisian conurbation, they represent as much as 64% of the population. […]

…While, inside ZUS and outside of ZUS, almost 9 out of 10 express agreement with the proposition “I feel French”, only 57% of those in ZUS and 79% outside of ZUS express agreement with the proposition “I am seen as French”. 7% of the Population of France Lives in Muslim No-Go Areas ; billede: Charlie Hebdo’s Next Front Page

Belgisk fagforeningsmand: Israelere og lokale jøder ét fedt

A trade union leader in Belgium has threatened to take action against Jewish schools in retaliation for the Israeli government policy towards the Palestinians. Following the vote on Monday to grant the Palestinians full UNESCO membership and the subsequent Israeli government decision to accelerate settlement building and to freeze transfers of tax revenues to the Palestinian Authority, Hugo Deckers, secretary general of ACOD, the Socialist trade union for the education sector, sent an e-mail to the chief editor of the Jewish magazine Joods Actueel in which he welcomed the UNESCO vote and referred to the Israeli decision.

“If this is the (Israeli) reaction, I would be happy as union leader to bring the Jewish schools in Antwerp in the news. I fear you are going to scare,” he wrote. […] Trade Union leader threatens Jewish schools because of Israel’s reaction to UNESCO vote

90 sekunder og 12 kugler, og bin Laden var død

SEALS’ egen version af hændelsesforløbet der divergerer fra den hidtil kendte.

[…] The first helicopter hovered over the main house, where Bin Laden was known to live on the top floor. A team of 12 SEALS abseiled the 5ft-6ft down onto the roof, leapt onto a terrace and kicked in the windows.

The first person they saw was Bin Laden’s third wife Khaira. She fell after being blinded by a strobe light and was caught by a Seal who pinned her to the floor.

Bin Laden suddenly appeared in the doorway of a bedroom along the hall and then slammed the door. One SEAL radioed: ‘Geronimo, Geronimo, Geronimo’ signalling that they had spotted the target.

As people started moving in other parts of the house and lights were thrown on, Bin Laden’s son Khalid came running up the stairs towards the SEALS and was shot dead.

Two commandos kicked in Bin Laden’s door to find the al Qaeda leader who was cowering behind his youngest wife Amal.

As Bin Laden tried to reach for his AK-47 rifle, the SEALS opened fire. One round hit the mattress, another grazed Amal in the calf. They each fired again: one shot hit Bin Laden’s breastbone, the other his skull, blowing out the back of his head. His dead body slumped to the floor and he lay face up – just 90 seconds after the mission began. Earlier reports had suggested that Bin Laden was not killed until after a protracted gun fight.

The second helicopter had headed to a smaller guesthouse in the compound where Bin Laden’s courier, Kuwaiti, and his brother lived.

As the helicopter closed in, a man appeared in the door with an assault rife and began to fire. Someone on board shouted ‘Bust him!’ A sniper on board the chopper fired two shots and Kuwaiti was killed along with his wife standing behind him.
