Two French festivals have dropped Eagles of Death Metal from their bills after frontman Jesse Hughes made inflammatory remarks about Islam being responsible for last year’s terror attack during a concert by the band at The Bataclan, in which 90 people were killed.
“It’s okay to be discerning when it comes to Muslims in this day and age,” he told Taki magazine, adding that Muslims in France “[celebrated] in the streets during the attack.”
In response, organizers of two French festivals said Hughes’ remarks were irresponsible and further fanned the flames of hate.

Hiding and pretending everything is alright is a road to certain death.

France is continuing its time honored tradition of surrendering at the first sign of adversity.

intolerance of Muslims is certainly the biggest problem Europe faces right now.

Do you have any concept of French military history before WW2?

It's like the entire continent of Europe is experiencing Stockholm Syndrome

They should have an impromptu concert in the streets in front of the entrance.

They have already lost and now they are just trying to gain favor with their new overlords.

In other words, times are back to normal and a blind eye rules the day.

It's funny. It's never the people killing others that are responsible. It's always just someone talking.

They hit their peak at Austerlitz. I think getting their asses beat in the Franco-Prussian War, 1914-17, and WWII pretty much substantiates every joke made at their expense. (Dien Bien Phu following Dub Dub Two doesn't help their cause.)

Yeah, God forbid a band that saw half it's audience blown away by Muslims right in front of them have something bad to say about Islam.

There was a massive thread on here the other day about this. Quite surprising/informative honestly.

That was bad, admittedly, but obviously the true tragedy is people looking at Muslims with disdain on the street in the weeks after the attack.
