If the French thought those places were good enough to colonize, control, extract resources from, etc., then certainly they would have no problem with their former subjects "returning the favor", eh?

So what happened in the FAR PAST gives invaders the right from today to invade France...um no. That's like saying I owe some black money because my grandfather owned his great great great grand daddy.

It doesn't give them the right, but the French shouldn't be entirely surprised.

That's funny considering she is leading the Poll for votes by 28% which seems to indicate your saying "Most" French are "Right Wing Nut jobs."

If a "Nut Job" is one who doesn't want to be slaughtered in the street some day, by radicals trying to make a point, I am glad to join that group.

Self defense is a "far out right wing nug job" concept? For real? That's a genuinally frightening opinion....

To some leftists/progressives, political conservatives are much more dangerous and threatening than violent radical Islamic jihadists. It's truly bizarre.

France doesn't track the religion or ethnicities of it's citizens during the census so I don't know how you would revoke "Muslim" passports. Under French law, if you're a French citizen, you're a French citizen regardless of race or religion. Also how do you differentiate between someone who actually follows the Muslim faith and someone who might have had parents or grandparents from North Africa or Lebanon but is basically agnostic when it comes to religion? Do you take their word for it? How much infrastructure would you have to devote to determining who is a devout Muslim? It would take, I don't know some sort of inquisition...

Yeah, I bet France would quickly revoke the citizenships of Thierry Henry and Tony Parker and Zinedine Zidane. There's been a good number of Africans and Arabs in France for several generations now, and there's plenty of politicians and businessmen and celebrities with ethnic descents from cultures outside Europe--hell, the chairman/CEO of Renault is of Lebanese descent. Your suggestion would not be taken seriously by anyone in France.

Also, Le Pen talks about shutting down certain mosques or deporting illegal migrants or deporting and revoking the citizenship of those who join groups like ISIS, but I've never heard them advocate mass deportation of French citizens.
