I am aware of French Colonialism in the Muslim world, just as I am aware of American Imperialism there. My question was in response to this statement regarding french law ...."protecting individuals and groups from being defamed or insulted because they belong or do not belong, in fact or in fancy, to an ethnicity, a nation, a race, a religion,". I posed the question in light of the recent terrorist attack in france: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/03/24/us-france-shooting...

I'm not sure what you were referring to as what I "think is happening"? I'm aware of the history. I'm also aware that in response to such terrorist attacks western nations tend to abandon their tolerance of the associated religions, regardless of how loose the association may be.
