Will Obama dare to take train to Pakistan with Muslim workers doing maintenance or working on tracks? it's common sense. liberals just simply yell "discrimination", "free-speech", "apartheid" over all issues....

#1 Mary_of_bethany, you don't have to be a liberal to see this reeks of discriminaton and no it doesn't make common sense,I am sure that if Peres knew of this before hand, he would have condem this action.
3. Not exactly a big problem

the French railway didn't do something really serious like draw a cartoon or misname a teddy bear. Compared to that this is nothing.

French Moslems have made their feelings quite well known about the Jewish people and about the State of Israel. There is a litany of vandalism, desecrations and murders to prove it. If the Moslem community in France feels offended, perhaps they should consider changing their ways.

#6 WilliamDiscrimination is the prejudicial and/or distinguishing treatment of an individual based on their actual or perceived membership in a certain group (in this case, Muslims) ,harassing them because they belong to or assoicate with a particular group.

No, it was a prudent decision on the part of the French rail firm. For all you know, perhaps they had information that someone was planning to disrupt the visit. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

The french know what they are dealing with vis-a-vis Islamists, and very prudently banned what the know are possible terrorists from gaining any possible access to President Perez. Well done, France.
