Please correct my japanese?

I'm trying to say, "why isn't there a reaction against english loanwords in japanese, as there is in countries such as france or germany?"

なぜ、フランスとドイツのように、日本語に使って英語から借用語に対して抵抗がありませんか。

I know my version is horribly wrong, please help if you can...

Thanks x

Update:

It cut my sentence off! Anyway the end of it was

抵抗がありませんか。

    Perhaps なぜ日本では、 フランスとドイツとは違って、 英語の借用語について反対がありませんか [naze nihon dewa, furansu to doitsu towa chigatte, eigo no shakuyougo ni tsuite hantai ga arimasen ka]

    I kind of changed your sentence around because it seemed kind of wordy. Mine is more like "Why in Japan, unlike France and Germany, there isn't opposition toward English loanwords?"
