French President Nicolas Sarkozy

Jewish Children Dept: Within hours of the shooting death of the gunman, who had murdered seven innocent people, including three Jewish children, French President Nicolas Sarkozy was threatening to pass laws -- if he is re-elected on April 22 -- making it illegal for anyone to have contact with Islamist radicals, as well as making it a crime to visit certain websites, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The country where ideas of liberty and equality helped inspire the American Revolution has banned turbans, yarmulkes and headscarves from schools and there are many lessons to be learned from the rampage of a deranged killer in France, but one of them is that a nation will be judged by the way it responds to sensational and traumatic events. The response was typical of the xenophobia and anti-immigrant hysteria that has gripped France's national psyche over the last 10 years. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
