State-Sponsored Terrorism, Crimes, and Lies - Collection 13 (France)

State-Sponsored Terrorism, Crimes, and Lies - Collection 13 (France):

France was one of the major colonizing nations that used to occupy large areas of Africa, the Middle East, Indochina, and the Caribbean. Its atrocities and trails of blood in its colonies - especially in Algeria, and Western and Central Africa - are well documented. After suffering heavy losses in its wars in Indochina (Vietnam) it tricked and dragged the U.S. to take its place there; and the rest of the story is history.

Interestingly, this great colonial, nuclear nation feels threatened by a piece of cloth called "Hijab or Veil", that is part of the Muslim woman dress. Special laws to outlaw the Hijab were issued, and those women who wear Hijab were hunted, expelled from work or schools, inflicted with heavy fines, and sometimes were put in jail.
