If you ever wondered exactly WHY you see very little representation from the Muslim community at elite level, world tour cycling, comments made by this high profile cycling agent -she represents ex TDF winner & former Team Sky rider Chris Froome- might provide some insight

Your posts read like you have only associated with messianic nut jobs and West Bank settlers. You would do well to mix more widely, read more extensively, and listen more intently. A subscription to Haaretz would be a good start.

It is not so much that they are strong but rather ill-informed and bigoted.

Never Again means Never Again for anyone.

This is factually incorrect, incoherent, and hateful. Shame on you.

It is not so much that they are strong but rather ill-informed and bigoted.

This is insane. Her comments are unhinged, ill-informed, and hateful.

5% of the French population is Muslim, including my next door neighbour who works and pays tax and makes a net contribution to the system as do so many others
