Ah, the 'ol French surrender jokes !

These old English racist jokes have been revivified since 2003 by the hate of american warmongers against France, and this hate still persists even in ZH.

All this ugly disdain and nasty jokes come from the firm refusal of the French to join America in Irak, in 2003.

Since France refused to go to Iraq, American warmongers and neo-cons made French army look like cowards – as a punishment.

But History has proved the French were right, and that the WMD were only a dirty trick to serve as a pretext.

Nevertheless, the hate of American warmongers against France remains still there, well alive, even in ZH.

This stale hate still shows through "innocent good jokes" about the “surrender monkeys” and their white flags

As for the rest, the French can be proud of their Military History:

According to the British historian Niall Ferguson, since 387 BC, France has fought 168 major wars against such badasses as the Roman Empire, the British Army and the Turkish forces. Their track record isn't too shabby, either: They've won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10 times.

This makes France the most successful military power in European history - in terms of number of fought and won …

The French have succeeded to conquer and guard the largest country in Europe.

Agreed that the joke doesn't have a strong basis in reality.  But right now the better question is - why does France allow the immigration of so many peoples who have no desire to assimilate into the French way of life?  Seems like that's a recipe for cultural destruction.

 

Yes, the same thing is well underway here in the US of A as well.  I'm still hoping that enough white folks will eventually realize the very real downsides to uncoontrolled immigration, as well as the H1B bullshit that's going on.

The French look like cowards, not for refusing to go to Iraq, but because they are. The last time they put up a good fight {on their own, without assistance} was during the Napoleon campaigns. Sorry if the truth hurts.

For you just one advice: Read History books not bad cartoons, you will learn the truth !

 

For instance: "The French fought well in WWI" - And you probably don't know at what cost :

More precisely World War I cost France 1,697,800 dead and 4,266,000 wounded (of whom 1.5 million were permanently maimed) and 537,000 made prisoner or missing - exactly 73% of the 8,410,000 men mobilized (for a total population of 40 million).

This means that 60% of men between the ages of 18 and 28 died or were permanently maimed.

You can have an idea of what these figures woud represent for the present population of the US:

13,412,000 dead and 33,701,400 wounded (of whom 11,850,000 permanently maimed) and 4,242,000 made prisoner or missing. Can you imagine US reaction to casualties on that scale?

And the French DID NOT SURRENDER (The stupid Jay Leno's style jokes are really not funny) …

In fact, these jokes reflect the hate of american warmongers against France. It remains still there, well alive, even in ZH.

They have not forgiven the offence of the firm refusal of the French to join America in Irak, in 2003, and their stale hate still show through "innocent good jokes" about the “surrender monkeys”.

I asked a day or so back.  WHY are many of these refugees wearing face masks?  And has been asked over and over why a huge number of "refugees" are able body and single men?  Why the raping and stealing?  This is so sad but also so predictably inept.  Create the monster and now we watch it come back to haunt.

To force nations to bypass immigration screenings?  I am of the opinion that people fleeing violence have a right to shelter.  But the hoardes of face-hiding and aggressive able bodied younger men was a disaster in the making.

The French get their asses handed to them because they dig in {trench strategy during WW1 and the infamous Maginot Line of WW2} and wait for the enemy to come and kick their ass. To attack is just not a French trait. Almost forgot the same strategy cost them victories when they lost to the Prussians in 1871, and the Vietnamese in 1954. Then there is that whole mess called "Waterloo" a word that has become synonymous with defeat and disaster. It must be a French thing, because nobody else has defeat down to a science like the French do. And no, the French did not fight well in WW1, THEY DIED WELL, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. The French should stick to the three things they do best: Wine, cheese and prostitutes.

You conflate a huge butcher's bill with "fighting well"?  That, monsieur, is horse crap.

There are solid and verifiable reasons that the French ground forces have been sent far, far, away from the action (consider 6me Para in Desert Storm, if there had been more land to the West, they would have been positioned further West).

And we should be looking at current circumstances.  We shall see how well CdG Group performs.

Not ALL French are cheese eating surrender monkeys (note to the culturally illiterate Frog above: the cowardice cliches certainly predate Iraq 2.0), but after the damage done by Napoleon and Poincaré's generals, the surrender monkeys made up an abnormally large percentage of the ethnic French population.

But to El Vaquero's point, most of us are 'Muricans... and the sun never sets on our casting of aspersions towards our fellow countrymen.  If the Frogs can't take a joke and run with it, then perhaps they should seek help from zee Germans with improving their sense of humor.

The Royal Marquis de Lafayette not only became an honorary official citizen of the U.S.A. in 2002, (a title only awarded to five other people in history), but he also had originally been counted as an American citizen before America was officially established. Historians point out that in 1784 he was registered as a New York City citizen and in 1785 he was also registered as Maryland’s citizen; so technically upon Maryland’s entry as a state into the new United States, Lafayette became a U.S. citizen automatically.

I know I blacked out a little bit after that fourth shot of Jägermeister last night, but I don't remember... I know we went through the Wendy's drive-thru to get one of them "Freschetta" sandwiches that looked so alluring on the commercial, but then we ordered it and realized we had no money, and we had to ditch out before the second window, and those douchebags in line behind us with the bass music probably got our order and we laughed about that. But I don't remember savin' the French. At all! I went through the last ten calls on my cell phone and there's nothin' incoming or outgoing to the French, lookin' for muscle on a project!

@gladius17  " if we hadn't had saved their ass in two World Wars ..."

WW1

Don’t exaggerate the impact of US involvement :

While France was fighting since August 1914, the United States entered in the war only in April 1917 (more than 2 years and 8 months later), not to rescue the French or the English (who by the way were not at all defeated), but because, President Wilson judged it was the US national interest to do it in response to the declaration by Germany of a total submarine war against US ships.

The United States came significantly in action (1 division) at the battle of Seicheprey in April 1918 (only 7 months before the end of the war)

 

WW2

In 1939 and 1940 France was let alone (apart from only 8 British divisions, which succeeded to quickly re-embark at Dunkirk thanks to the sacrifice of the soldiers of the 1st French Army of the North ).

France was let alone facing a nazi-fanaticized country with a population of 80 million (vs. 40 million in France), a particularly well prepared war-industry, and an air superiority of 5 vs 1. 

At the same time the “US ally” refused to sell planes on credit to France !

The landing in Normandy didn't occur before June of 1944 (5 five years later), after other landings in North Africa, Sicilia and Italia. And only because it was better to fight US enemy in Europe than in America, after the declaration of war by Germany and Italy. And the US never faced mor than 15% of the Wehrmacht80% were in the East -  when France had to face alone 100% of Hitler's war machine in 1940.

But, on the way they liberated France, and most Fench are still grateful for that. It is why they invite American representatives every year to the memorial in Normandy for the remembering of D-Day June 6, 1944.

On the other hand, the 5,000 sailors of the French Navy who died for US Independence at the battle of the Chesapeake are still waiting for their memorial in Washington And I have never heard that French representatives were formally invited to the celebrations of the Yorktown victory (where not less than half of the fighters were French soldiers led by the Comte de Rochambeau), or at the 4th of July celebrations … Pitiful lack of memory.

Don't imagine the French surrendered so easily in WW2 (as it is often said by some haters) :

Contrary to what has often been said, and is also a result of the Nazi propaganda of that time, and the neo-cons hatred in 2003, the German advance (Blitzkrieg) encountered serious resistance from the French troops. In the six week Battle of France, from May 10 to June 22, 1940, the French lost, in military personnel alone, 260,000 wounded and 108,000 killed. A total of 368,000 casualties in six weeks is not something to pass off lightly.

This is 5 times more than the losses of the American army in three months of battles in Normandy in 1944 (21000), and nearly the same amount than the US deaths in 7 months of WW1 (116700)!

It is the air superiority (over 1,000 Stuka bombers knocked out the troops defending Sedan) and the intelligent use of the German panzers that broke the defences and made ineluctable the defeat.

In 1939 and 1940 France was let alone (apart from only 8 British divisions, which succeeded to quickly re-embark at Dunkirk thanks to the sacrifice of the soldiers of the 1st French Army of the North).

France was let alone facing a nazi-fanaticized country with a population of 80 million (vs. 40 million in France), a particularly well prepared war-industry, and an air superiority of 5 vs. 1. 

At the same time the “US ally” refused to sell planes on credit to France!

Kinda like - if you are male over the age of 10 and you have no passport or papers to prove where you come from, you get shipped off to Syria, being as you are claiming you are a refugee from there.

Hell, even if you can prove you are Syrian, you are male, and over the age of 10, you get shipped back there anyway.

So..Kalashnikov is "sword" in French?

The fuck? Don't remember that one from my French Language class. Do remember it from Russian history though.
Is it a play on words....and if so....is that why it may have been targeted? Or was it just shit luck and they attacked at random?

Sat, 11/14/2015 - 01:47 | 6790780 Archduke
Archduke's picture

no, "by the sword" isn't literal.  it's an example locution where "by" is a method or means instead of a place (ie not 'by the bookshop').

english has the same double meaning for by.  here, 'by' as in death "by kalashnikov" would be the proper translated locution, not 'at'.

it's just that google lingua or whatever the bleep translator is being used sucks and can't tell the different semantic meanings of  à.

 

Sat, 11/14/2015 - 02:08 | 6790782 Archduke
Archduke's picture

also note that in french slang kalashnikov has come to mean any battle rifle, machine gun, or automatic firearm.

it really doesn't mean a literal AK-47 or even any russian gun.  it just means a frigging big military assault weapon.

 

to clear this up, no cafe called kalashnikov was attacked;  google lingua helped by a braggart with a few semesters' french

misguidedly translated 'at' into a place and postulated this.  there was a cafe carillon that got attacked.  with assault weapons.

which are highly illegal in france:  all military weapons and even all military calibres (5.56 Nato, 7.62 russian, etc) are banned.

apologies for all real casualties involved,  here is the correct version of Muslim prayer :

How Muslims Pray and What They Say

A web page explaining Muslim prayers for non-Muslims

Call to the prayers

A Call is made from the mosque, indicating that it is time for the obligatory prayer. There are five obligatory prayers in a day. On hearing the Call, people start preparing themselves for the prayer. Appearing below is the transliteration and translation of what a caller to the prayer says.

(click here to listen to the call of prayers)

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
[God is the greatest, God is the greatest]
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
[God is the greatest, God is the greatest]
Ashadu an la ilaha ill Allah
[I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but God]
Ashadu an la ilaha ill Allah
[I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but God]
Ashadu anna Muhammadan rasoolullah
[I bear witness that Muhammad is the prophet of God]
Ashadu anna Muhammadan rasoolullah
[I bear witness that Muhammad is the prophet of God]
Hayya'alas salah [Come to prayer,]
Hayya'alas salah [Come to prayer,]
Hayya'alal falah [Come to success,]
Hayya'alal falah [Come to success,]
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar
[God is the greatest, God is the greatest]
La ilaha ill Allah
[There is no deity but God.]

Who do Muslims pray to?

Muslims pray to One God without associating any partners with Him. They pray facing the Holy Mosque in the city of Makkah. Facing this mosque is simply for uniformity and homogeneity in the prayers of all Muslims around the world and not as an act of worship to the mosque itself.

What do Muslims say and do?

Muslims stand before their God by making the intention to pray, leaving all other chores and concerns aside.

While standing

While standing, the first chapter of the Quran is recited. This chapter can be translated as follows.

“In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee (alone) we worship and Thee (alone) we ask for help. Show us the straight path. The path of those whom Thou hast favoured; Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger nor of those who go astray.” (1:1-1:7)

After the first chapter, any other passage from the Quran is recited. Following is a translation of one such passage.

“Say: He is Allah, the One! Allah is He on Whom all depend. He begetteth not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him.” (112:1-112:4)

While bowing

Muslims then bow to God and glorify Him. This glorification can be translated as follows.

“Glory be to my Lord, the Almighty.”

While Prostrating

To express complete submission and humility before God, Muslims then prostrate and place their foreheads on ground. According to the prophetic traditions, at this moment of humility, the worshipper is closest to his/her Lord. While prostrating, Muslims glorify God as follows.

“Glory be to my Lord, the most High.”

Other than glorifying God, it is also a moment for Muslims to ask God for His forgiveness, mercy, blessings and bounties. Muslims then sit for a few seconds and prostrate one more time before standing up again.

Depending on the time of the prayer, Muslims repeat this cycle once, twice or thrice in each prayer.

While sitting

In the end (and also in the middle for some prayers) Muslims sit as shown in the figure. At this point they testify before God that there is none worthy of worship but Him and that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His slave (meaning creation that is subject to it’s Lord’s commands at all times) and His Messenger. Muslims then ask God to send His peace and blessings on His Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) as He did on Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him). The translation is as follows.

“All service is for Allah and all acts of worship and good deeds are for Him. Peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you O Prophet. Peace be upon us and all of Allah’s righteous slaves. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
O Allah exalt Muhammad and the followers of Muhammad, just as you exalted Abraham and the followers of Abraham. Verily you are full of praise and majesty. O Allah send blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, just as you sent blessings on Abraham and upon the followers of Abraham. Verily you are full of praise and majesty.”

At the very end, Muslims turn their face to the right and the left, sending God’s Peace on those surrounding them. This greeting of peace can be translated as follows.

“Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah”

With this greeting, the obligatory prayer ends.

We hope that this brochure was beneficial to you in understanding how Muslims pray the obligatory prayers. In addition to the obligatory prayers, Muslims may supplicate and glorify God at any time. It is commendable in Islam to be in a habit of unceasingly glorifying God and supplicating to Him.

We all knew that this was bound to happen.  Just last night, I said in a conversation that an erruption from the 'refugees' can happen any time. 

One would have to be a truly blithering moron of a monumental level to think that allowing a free-flow of millions of Muslim men aged 18-40 would end well.

So, there's a very simple solution to a simple problem:  Europe should be united and take itself back.  If people want to play nice and accept that European countries will be run by Europeans, not bizarre Tribe interlopers brainwashing youth into hating themselves, then we can all just live our lives like normal people.

If, on the other hand, people want to play the Fifth Column with Barbara Spectre, George Soros, et. al... Well, then we may have to consult what the saintly Queen Isabella did, as did Edward I, and other leaders elected to do to protect their people and realms.
