In keeping with the national French policy of preemptive surrender, The Louvre Museum in Paris recently accepted a $20 million donation from billionaire Saudi Prince Alaweed bin Talal for a new Islamic Art Wing. 

Talal was at the center of controversy after the 9/11 attacks when he made disparaging comments regarding the United States Middle Eastern policies. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani subsequently turned down Talal’s $10 million offer to the families of the victims. Giuliani went on to make several unprintable comments regarding Talal’s mother, some spoiled hummus and a swarthy goat.

This artistic alliance represents yet another change in preferences for the historically fickle French.

“Traditionally the French have always given ‘preferential capitulation’ status to Germany,” noted one expert on Gallic matters. “However, over the past fifteen to twenty years there has been a subtle yet steady shift towards the Middle East when looking for a most-favored-aggressor. This new Islamic Wing further demonstrates the cementing of that relationship.” 

Indeed, a recent Le Opinion Francois poll shows that when given their choice of aggressors to cede to, nearly seven in ten Frenchmen chose Islamofascists. Germany locked up the nostalgia vote and came in at second with twenty percent.
