It amounts to a Clinton apology. :rolleyes:
You decide.
"Clearly there was never an intention to show disrespect to any religious group. [The opening ceremony] tried to celebrate community tolerance," the Paris 2024 spokesperson Anne Descamps told a press conference. "We believe this ambition was achieved. If people have taken any offense we are really sorry."

I did not watch this but have seen and heard about this on the internet. What little I have seen looks like something the demented Roman Emperor Caligula would have come up with, no wonder his own imperial guard slaughtered him. Meanwhile the boycotts begin to mount. :thumbsup:

If the goal was to celebrate community tolerance, let's see them depict Muslims in the same light. Personally, I can not justify mocking anyone's religion. These people were evil.

Agree! This whole debacle has been about targeting Christianity. The French have a very different history with the Catholic church than we do. But that's no excuse to use the Olympics world stage to insult anyone's beliefs.
It exposes just who they are, Unenlightened Heathens!
