The French city of Nice says it will not host the European Road Cycling Championships, planned for 14-18 September, for security reasons.
Mayor Philippe Pradal said the event required a large police presence, but the southern city had not "received any guarantees" about their deployment.
It is the latest event in France to be called off after July's lorry attack in Nice in which 85 people died.

Sadly, there are still jihadists living in Nice, France...All future public events are postponed until the Crusades begin.................. :(

No, I disagree here....

Diversity is a wonderful thing, particularly here in America, provided that immigrants who come here want to become Americans and appreciate our history, ideals and culture. Asians who come here make-up some of our best citizens. Wonderful people. They fit well into this culturally diverse society. Many of the Mexicans who come here are some of the hardest working people you'll find. Good people. They just want a chance at a new life. Those migrating from Central America are also grateful at being given the opportunity to have normal lives. Again, for the most part. Muslims also make ideal immigrants provided that they recognize the cultural difference between a Christian-based society and one founded on Sharia law. Most decent Americans have no problems with having a local mosque in the neighborhood. They are hospitable to all those who merely seek liberty, including Muslims. In America, ...they fit. We are a multi-cultural society that accepts all, provided there is respect for our values/culture in return.

It is only those who come to this country who wish to impose their culture on our way-of-life, and have no respect for our laws and customs that present the problem. Immigration is not a right, but an act of charity. We welcome everyone, provided they respect us. There are the criminal elements from Mexico that must be deported. There are those Muslims who feel Sharia Law is a logical fit into this society. It isn't. Liberals are terrified at confronting this fact. So they don't. Despite the fact of the extreme prejudice against homosexuals, women's rights, and marital relationships, Islamic Sharia Law is ignored by the liberals. The hypocrisy is staggering. Liberals will scream to high heaven about not having trans-gender bathrooms, yet completely ignore the hatred directed against homosexuals by the preaching of many of the Muslim religious leaders.

Nope, diversity is a good thing, provided that.....

Get real. Diverse NYC or multicultural London are dumps compared to homogenous Tokyo or Hong Kong.

Run the race... Show no fear.

When you give into Terrorists you make them bolder.

The French just raised another white flag and surrendered to fear...

Pathetic

Trump needs to focus more so on the male vote. He should have nationalized the Boy Scouts when they decided to admit girls.

Sort of like how cities and other places cancel events out of safety?

If the French cancel next Bastille Day, it would be like the USA canceling Fourth of July fireworks displays....These could be replaced by mass executions of jihadists, which are more relevant anyway........... :hooray:

so lets cancel everything... Boston Marathon? Nope.. Cancel it because it has been attacked before... NYC Marathon? Cancelled.. we had 9-11 here you know... lets ban all large events over 100 people because it's too dangerous.... Lets raise the white flag because we are scared.

I will stick with the Israeli model... Life goes on and we will never change or show fear. We will live our lives in the manner we want in spite of your attempts to disrupt it.

The French are cowards... if you change the way you live because of terrorism... The terrorists win.

I refuse to wave the white flag.

I will leave that to those who have experience in that department...


n'est–ce pas?

I've seen some people on forums like this suggest that fear of and reaction to terrorism is over blown based on the statistical unlikelihood of becoming personally victimized. In lieu of an actual argument, they submit spectacular non sequiturs such as comparing the number of deaths caused by terrorism to, say, auto accidents as though the two are in any way comparable.

In doing so, they completely miss the point. The goal of terrorism is NOT the body count. That's just a bonus to them. The real goal is disruption of our way of life, and we accommodate them by canceling events and taking our shoes off at the airport. I agree that we have to soldier on and hold those events, middle finger clearly upraised.
