Tell me: How could the French government countenance this art installation, which manages to be both juvenile and deeply insulting at the same time? :Go read the whole thing from Zombie.
Exhibit marks 67th anniversary of D-Day landingsI ask you: So, would the artist prefer that the Allies had refrained from committing any icky violence and instead not invaded Normandy, so as to preserve peace? In which case, France would to this day be called Frankenreich, the western province of Greater Germany?

COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France (AP) — French artist Rachid Khimoune has installed 1,000 sculptures shaped like sea turtles on Omaha Beach to mark the 67th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy.
The turtles’ “shells” are molded from American, Russian and German combat helmets, sprouting flippers and long-necked heads. The sculptures were arranged Sunday along the sandy expanses of Omaha Beach — where the Allies won a pivotal victory against the Nazis.
Vinnie at Jawa appropriately responds:
... of course he prefers that we had refrained. If you read his bio on his website that I won't link to it says that he was born of Kabyl parents. Kabyl is a region of Algeria.
So I'm going to go out on a limb and guess he's also Muslim, and we all know how well the Muslims and Nazis got along.

Pastorius,
If only you could meet this guy face to face, and could speak the same language. I have a feeling he never even thought about what would have happened it the allies had not invaded Europe. You also forgot the fact that many more innocent people, including many of his fellow countrymen would have been butchered by the Nazis had it not been for what the allies did on D day.
HAS THE EUROPEAN UNION HAD ENOUGH iSLAMIC INFILTRATION?
SCUM:
«Protesters occupied the Ministry of Finance building in downtown Athens, took down the EU flag, prevented employees from entering, and called for a general strike. All this occurred just as the “troika” — the EU, the ECB, and the IMF — announced that Greece had met its austerity requirements and would receive the next €12 billion tranche of bailout loans. One of the criteria required of Greece was to change the definition of its “border areas” so as to allow more foreign purchase of real estate. In particular, some of the islands in the Aegean coast area were reclassified so that Turks could buy property there.»
From the vile Nazi "comic" book in SF to this abominable piece of Muslim-Nazi crap masquerading as art, Julius Streicher must be laughing hysterically in his grave.
that's what happens when you let in too many immigrants!
Anonymous,
No this is what happens when someone who doesn't understand an issues chooses to speak their mind on it, via their artwork. I don't see what this has to do with the number of immigrants to France or anywhere.
