France: "We want to help Morocco to have the special status it seeks in the European Union"

Eurabia Update: "France determined to help Morocco get advanced status in EU," from ANSAmed (thanks to Fjordman):

(ANSAmed) - RABAT, APRIL 18 - Visiting French Prime Minister, Francois Fillon pledged that his country is determined to help Morocco get an advanced status in its relations with the European Union. "We want to help Morocco to have the special status it seeks in the European Union," Fillon said on the sidelines of a dinner banquet held in his honor by his Moroccan counterpart, Abbas El Fassi, Map news agency reports. The French official, who started yesterday a two-day visit to Morocco to co-chair with El Fassi the 9th high-level Moroccan-French joint commission, added that "we seek to widen the cooperation with Morocco, given that the French government supports the wide-ranging orientations of the Moroccan policy in all fields". Recalling the various commitments taken by French President Sarkozy during his official visit to Morocco last October, during which the two countries signed agreements amounting to 3 billion euro on transport, justice, social security, mines and equipment, the minister stressed the importance of agreements to be concluded during the 9th high-level meeting. From his part, Abbas El Fassi said that the advanced status desired by Rabat is not only based on geographical proximity, but also on the adhesion to common values, namely the respect for human rights, individual and collective liberties, gender equality, justice and solidarity and the rule of law....

Uh huh.

Great. There's a real shortage of muslims in Europe at the moment.

3 Billion euro says it all. What about the French government's responsiblity to protect its citizens? How many cars have been burned by Moroccans? Has the Moroccan government disciplined these islamic thugs? No deal till that unfinished business is addressed.

Once Europe realizes it has handed its lands over the a medieval totalitarian religion, many will flee to North, Central and South America. I suspect this is already happening, since many wealthy British are retiring in Canada.

For the young, it might be worth investing some land in Central or South America, since there likely is coming a time when people will need to flee, convert or be executed for offending Muslims by their presence in Europe.

The Americas are still sufficiently Christian-affirming and low in Muslim numbers that once the chips hit the fan, the Americans will have understood clearly that Islam is a violent expansionist religion which tolerates no other vision than that of its Mullahs and Imams.

About ten years ago I met a friend of a friend who was from Morocco and worked in Boston driving taxi. He felt he was being talked down to by Americans all the time

But the real corker was when he kicked someone out of his taxi right in the Callahan tunnel. My friend swore it was true

I met this Moroccan guy once and he seemed tightly wound

Morocco Under Fire
By Olivier Guitta

“…according to Spanish anti-terror judge Baltazar Garzon: "Morocco is the worst terrorist threat for Europe." He estimated that the al Qaeda-linked cells number more than 100 and that at least 1,000 terrorists are now being actively sought by Moroccan authorities.”

Just a little note in favor of Fillon

Diviser pour regner. Divide to conquer.

France had 3 children in North AfriCA.
one named Morocco . the other Algeria and the third Tunisia.
When they grew up and took their independance, they took different directions.

Morocco is the most educated,the most open of the three.
Algeria is the worst. It is a breading place for radical Islam

Unfortunately . Morocco has been infiltrated by a lot of Algerians but the government is fighting radical islam and is trying to keep the country out of trouble.

I have met and dealt with many Morrocans.They are different from the rest in North Africa.
Most of them are refined , educated and easy going.
I cannot say the same for the Algerians and the Tunisians.
Franca has no choice but to try to deal with those 3 babies and it not easy.
Fillon is just trying to make the best out of a very difficult situation .

But regardless.. Sarko has been doing the EXACT OPPOSITE than what he promised before the election. It's "incroyable".

Sarko is definitely in the running for the Biggest dhmmi award this year.

And WHY does France have to take care of Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria?

Let's worry about EUROPE for a change!

Posted by: Ummah Gummah [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 19, 2008 9:32 PM

Ummah,

Oh I forgot, the Spamish government plans to build a tunnel from Gibraltar to Morocco.. Goodbye Europe.

They want to build a bridge across the Strait, not dig a tunnel.

Bridge. What an ironic word these days!

Posted by: boneshack [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 19, 2008 10:05 PM

While it is true that Morrocco is more advanced than most other Islamic holes, this can't lead to anything good.

Posted by: Dumbo [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 19, 2008 10:16 PM

Sorry if I got iot wrong re. the bridge. It's one bridge I'd rather tear down. Maybe terrorists will do it for me. They are pretty dumb when it comes to strategy at times.

Dumb and relentless.

Ummah Gummah
Why France has to take care Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. ?
Exactly for the same reason as the USA have to take care of Irak. They should never have gone there in the first place but now , if they leave , it is going to be a real disaster.

France just has to try to learn how to cohabite.
Thanks to a glorious idea of a former president,Algerians were allowed to bring all members of their family and with their french citizenship, they enjoyed the benefits of all social programs . one of them "les allocations familiales". You are paid if you are pregnant , paid when you give birth, and paid every month an allowance according to the number of children you brought to this world.and many Algerian families had enough children to make a soccer team,
Morocans stayed home and took care of their own people and country . Just a few of them left.
and instead of supporting radical Islam, they are fighting it.
Maybe , it sounds like Sarko and Fillon are not doing enough but one thing is certain, Sarko is still swimming in Chirac 's mess and it will take time to clean it.


Posted by: Tartine [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 19, 2008 11:51 PM

France has been bankrupt for a long time. A mystery how they hope to find 3 billion for Morocco.

On the other hand, its just jiziyah, going back at least 600 years.


Tartine sez:

"I have met and dealt with many Morrocans.They are different from the rest in North Africa.
Most of them are refined , educated and easy going. "

Hmm. Likewise. I also know quite a few, but we could argue about refined, educated and .......going.

But when it comes to Islam, they are not easy going. They take their Islam rather seriously.

Even more so when they live amongst the Kuffar. You mean like the 'secular' Turkes? One of them, a young Turk, wealthy, London educated (LSE) with a very young (clueless) Danish model in tow, got very agitated and shitty with me when I asked him about the re=Islamization of Turkey during a recent encounter in the Far East.

No. When it comes to Islam they are more like Churchill describes them. Repeat after me:

"Dreadful are the curses..."

They want to build a bridge across the strait of Gibraltar?

Oh well.

If Europe in future, per miraculum, decided to defend itself against the Jihad, bridges are a. easy to hold and b. easy to destroy, if necessary.

MOROCCO: FAITHFUL VERY LOYAL TO ISLAM, BUT TOLERANT, STUDY


(ANSAmed) - NAPLES, JANUARY 10 - Moroccans are strongly attached to their religion, which they practice with devotion, but at the same time they are accustomed to being tolerant and understanding to non-believers or those who are not practicing.

As much emerged from a study on how religious the Moroccans are, carried out in the North African country by human studies and sciences foundation 'al Saud' and published in the latest issue of the 'Al-Maghrebiya' monthly, a newspaper in Arabic published in Italy.

The poll, a statement of 'Al-Maghrebia' reports, was carried out for about a year in Morocco with the cooperation of 1,156 people coming from all areas of the country who answered to 146 questions. The work done by the researchers from Casablanca Muhammad Touzi, Muhammad al-Ayadi and Hasan al-Rashiq, tried mainly to understand the relation between the citizens and their religion.

It emerged that 73% regularly perform the 'Salat', the Islamic prayer, even though only 65% affirm they pray every day.

Only 15% admit they never pray. Most of the latter group are young people.

As regards the Islamic fasting during the month of Ramadan, the overwhelming majority of Moroccans follow the precept, although 60% believe it is wrong to consider those who do not fast 'non-Muslims'.

The data that emerged in terms of relation between men and women and of the rules dictated by the Sharia are different.

A total 80% say the Sharia principle according to which the woman has the right to inherit half compared to the man is just, while as regards polygamy, only 44% support it, 60% of whom are elderly people. (ANSAmed).

If insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting a different result, then this can be called insane. In fact on that basis, most of politics can be called insane.

Posted by: Brett_McS [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 20, 2008 6:52 AM

Rothari, Mark Steyn made a similar point: That the Muslims in Europe are much less fun than those in the general Islamic world, with whom he felt far more relaxed while researching his book. Of course that doesn't mean they would stay that way once the all so obliging Europeans have put them in touch with their inner welfare drone.

Hello,Sheik
"
France has been bankrupt for a long time. A mystery how they hope to find 3 billion for Morocco."

What about the USA? Finances are not in the best shape either and Bush is sending money to the Palestinians and is offering 25000 student visas to the Saudi and last year Harvard sent a group of students in Egypt in order to help more Egytians to come and study in the USA for free.
et cetera...et cetera
3billions is not a gift to Morocco.It is not even a loan.It is the amount of money that will be generated by doing business.

and as far as I know , I did not see Fillon neither Sarko walking hand in hand with the Moroccan colleague.

This is what I think.

There is a say "God give me the strength to change the things I can change, and to accept the things I cannot change.


We cannot change the fact that Islam is a real threat.
but we can change the fact that Islam is a legal doctrine and we let its followers free to do what they want in our country .
We can argue forever how to change the Koran, how to work with moderate Muslims, we are not going to go anywhere until they are forbidden to practice and prosper in our borders.
Both France and the USA must clear their homeland first and let the Muslims do what they want in their land.....
Remember Afganistan.... they were all united in order to eject the russians but when the russians left. they fought between tribes

Those people don't know what peace means. They have to fight.
Let them kill each other They are auto destructive.

"...also on the adhesion to common values, namely the respect for human rights, individual and collective liberties, gender equality, justice and solidarity and the rule of law..."
== == == == == ==

Sounds so noble and upstanding. Outright bullhooey, of course.

France is still pushing the Eurabia vision. Do they not see they're INVITING the cuckoos to come to their nest (their country)? This is suicide on a national level! (The cuckoo's instinctive drive is to find a nest built by birds of another species; it lays one egg alongside the original eggs. The cuckoo baby is bigger and more aggressive than those of the host species, so it pushes the other little birds out of their nest; the parent birds who built the nest then feed and raise the cuckoo as if it were their own, while their natural babies were "murdered" by the imposter they are raising.)

Announce it to the world: Fwance is suicidal (and is trying to get the rest of Europe to join in on the great rush to cultural oblivion) !

Posted by: A_Nonny_Mouse [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 20, 2008 1:31 PM

Talking about inviting the cuckoos.....they are already nested all over the States and already have destroyed a big nest in NY on Sept 11.
and instead of getting rid of the other nests. Bush is paying a fortune to have them watch by the FBI and Homeland security.
At least Sarkozy, maybe doing business with another country but he already has announced that 22000 owners of a cuckoo nest in France will go back home soon

Suicidal,,,really . with his friendship and love of the Saudis, Bush put this country economy and safety on the edge of a precipice... Watch him take a step forward.....he still has time before the next election to surprise us more.

Posted by: Tartine [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 20, 2008 3:22 PM

Im sure if the EU wont offer the olive branch to Morrocco the Arab League will swiftly move in and hand them a Scimiter and fanatical zeal.

I can see the threat on both sides of this issue and it all come from that sweaty armpit of the world known as ....

"France just has to try to learn how to cohabite."
Posted by: Tartine

...not quite...they have tried this and it is a complete failure (it is the other guys who do not want to cohabitate)..they need to learn to deport and to enforce a Ban on Muslim Immigration..

Posted by: pulsar182 [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 20, 2008 8:38 PM

Pulsar

I agree with a ban on Muslim immigration in France and in America too.

Posted by: Tartine [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 20, 2008 10:39 PM

islam is a highly contagious, deadly, communicable disease that must be quarantined in the middle east. Therefore, no further muslim immigration should be allowed to any country in the West, and deportations of all muslims presently residing in the West, to their countries of origin, or their families' country of origin, must begin immediately. They won't ever assimilate, they must dominate. They have to go...

Posted by: PatrickHenry [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 21, 2008 3:02 PM

Sarkozy was the Great Hope for some. But he was never the real thing. His belief in the efficacy of government-funded mosques, and supposedly tame imams (has Boubakeur at the Paris Mosques proved to be a good investment? Proved to be quite the moderate, just what the toubib ordered? Not according to any reasonable assessment) -- that is, his dreamy belief in the large-scale "integration" of Muslims, his sentimentalizing about Rachida Dati (the Muslims child, now obviously a Muslim-for-identification-purposes-only Muslimaha, one of 11 children of a Moroccan and Algerian, and it is the other ten who make the rule, not the rachida-dati exception to the rule, whose permanent settlement in France, and whose progeny, saecula saeculorum, are what need to be considered, and no one should be comforted, as Sarkozy the sentimentalist allows himself to be, by the existence of the well-dressed smiling, physically attractive, altogether outwardly charming, and completely misleading-as-an-example-of-anything, Rachida Dati).

Don't be so pessimistic! give the guy a chance .
He could not arrive in such a mess and clean it all at once.
He talked about an Islam de France. Maybe just in order to "reculer pour mieux sauter "
They are expelling everyday a bunch of Imams who preach crazyness.They sent 2000 policemen to enter a special ZOne in Paris,they cleaned it up and nobody knew about it.

As far as Dati is concerned, he appointed her when he was between 2 wifes and I read some gossips about a supposed relationship with her, but a lot of other names were mentioned too......
and at his age . over 50 . single and french, he certainly was on a diet made of Viagra and prune juice , so he did not know if he was coming or going ,,,,
Now , he settled so he will be able to concentrate on the job.
At least , he never took a walk hand in hand with a Saudi leader....

Posted by: Tartine [TypeKey Profile Page] at April 21, 2008 9:39 PM

The "EU" is a joke. How can you call it a "European" union when you invite non europeans into it? How many riots and murders must we endure before our governments realise that we face global islamisation unless they STOP cosying up to islam and its followers.

And as for France with their "youths" rioting. You'd have though they would have learnt their lesson. They are being played, we are all being played.

It may be different if this "religion" wanted to convince people of its rightness and convince them to convert, BUT THEY DON'T, they want to rule OVER the world, to enslave it.

From mohammed onwards islam has been about slavery and control.

Stop Islam. Save the world.
