Q&A: What is the current status of the global economic crisis?

Question: Where does the global economic crisis currently stand, which began in the USA and engulfed Europe and then the world? Answer: To shed light on this subject, we will mention the following: 1. The collapse of the real estate market in the US spread across the world resulting in the collapse of many banks, which lead to unprecedented government intervention to halt global economic collapse.

The French President Francois Hollande has stated clearly whilst visiting the Gulf States that he will not permit the establishment of an Islamic State in Mali. France's hatred towards Islam is well known and just recently Francois Hollande during his visit to Algeria made it clear that neither he or France would ever apologise for the slaughter of one million Algerians at the hands in the second half of the 20th century in addition to the thousands of rapes and horrendous acts of torture committed in the name of the Republic. Although this hatred is blatant the real reasons for this attack is for France to maintain its inf
