They’re afraid Parisians will mistake actors for actual terrorists? Does this mean that French filmmakers actually make movies about Islamic jihad terrorists? If they did that in the U.S., the Hamas-linked terror organization the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) would be on them faster than white on rice with charges of “racism” and “bigotry.”
They’re also afraid that real jihad terrorists will target the actors playing law enforcement officials. And so they curtail their activities out of fear, which is just what the jihadists want.
“Paris stops action movies being filmed around the city due to fears locals could mistake actors for terrorists in wake of Charlie Hebdo massacre,” by John Hall, MailOnline, February 5, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Paris has banned action movies being filmed in and around the city over concerns that locals could mistake the actors for genuine terrorists following last month’s Charlie Hebdo massacre.
Filming outdoor scenes with police, army or security services was quietly banned in the aftermath of the attacks in the French capital that left 17 dead, along with the three gunmen.
Police officials responsible for granting permission for outdoor filming in the city said the ban is intended to prevent passers-by confusing chase scenes for authentic police incidents – and may even prevent actors and crew becoming an easy target for terror attacks themselves.
Speaking of the decision to ban action movies, Sylvie Barnaud, the police official who grants outside filming permission in Paris, said: ‘There’s a problem with these action-type scenes, as the actors in uniform could be targets for terrorists.’
‘Also, the actors could pose confusion for the general public during this highly sensitive period.’
She did not know how long the ban could last, but there was not indication it would be reversed anytime soon….

So long as the arrests of Jihadi sympathisers gathers apace France is making progress that the rest of Europe can emulate.

It’s always the second reason, isn’t it?
Don McKellar says
Imagine that you live in a country where the Islamic jihad terrorists are so all-enveloping on a national scale that you can’t even have a movie filmed in your capital city because the populace will panic, thinking they are moslem murderers committing yet another koranic slaughter!
Even worse, imagine you live in a politically correct 1984 police state — with a government of cowering leftist retarded cowards — where you can’t even make a movie out of fear of offending Islamic supremacists who control eveything that happens there.
Welcome to Paris, France, 2015.
A lot to be proud of there, frenchies. What are you going to do about it come next election? Or are you as weak and cowardly as your surrender monkey “leaders” are?

A movie and people afraid actors would be taken as jihadist Well what can you expect. The world knows who and what terrorist look like so guess that makes a statement.

IIn a sane word, reprisals against islamic terrorists should be so severe, that Muslims should be left terrified at the very thought of attacking the west- but the leftist socialist western governments are so passive and enabling to these Islamic fascists, that they are welcoming this Islamic barbarity
M S case says
We only have ourselves to blame in the west for allowing these murdering imports into our countries. We try to be the good guy and allow people to migrate into the west on compassionate rmtersmce because supposedly they are being oppressed in their own country so we let them in and guess what they try to take over our governments bend our laws to theirs Demonstrate and form prayer lines in our streets and block traffic kill innocent people, complain about islamophobia,, racism and everything else.
Of course this is all part of a plan for world domination with their murderous so called religion. IT’S NOT A RELIGION IT’S A CULT. IF THE GOVERNMENTS WOULD ADMIT THAT IT IS A CULTAND SEEING WHAT THEY ARE PREACHING IN THEIR BOOK OF HATE THEN IT COULD BE OUTLAWED BY PASSING LEGISLATION.. IF THERE WERE ACTUALLY GOOD MUSLIMS OUT THERE THEY THEMSELVES WOULD PUT A STOP TO ISLAMIST JIHADIST DOGMA
COME ON ISLAMIST, PROVE ME WRONG BY GETTING RID OF THE TERRORIST….IF YOU CAN’T DO THAT THEN YOU ARE ALL TERRORIST. COME ON PROVE ME WRONG..

Dhimmitude with a capital D. If you’ve ever been a spectator or onlooker of a movie set filming action scenes in a public venue, you’d know that the whole thing is controlled, people are kept from wandering onto a set for safety and other reasons, and anyone with half a brain (are there any of those in the French government? Plenty, I’ve observed) will know the guys with the guns are actors carrying fake guns with blanks, and the actors are usually surrounded by camera crew, explosions are rigged to other equipment, grenades and the like are fake that can’t blow up anyone or anything, because props are implanted with explosives and everyone is cleared from any possible danger.

I live near a small town that has been taken over by movie crews several times.
And your right, it’s tightly controlled…

And more cultural censorship for Islamic interests in France and Europe-
” European Culture Grovels Before Islam.
“Fear is a potent factor in cancelling cultural programs that have any reference to Islam.”

What utter nonsense.
All that would be needed would be for the msm, the press, and the film companies, to make sure the whole thing was highly publicised, and for flyers to be posted in people’s post boxes.
This is just a weak kneed, wimpy, cowardly excuse. The real reason is they are terrified of the mohammedans, and haven’t got the guts to confront them, let alone stand up to them. ”Je suis Charlie” my backside. *That* went down the tubes, double quick time.

Paris stops action movie filmings for fear locals will take actors for terrorists
They’re also afraid that real jihad terrorists will target the actors playing law enforcement officials…
…………………………………
And so they’re shutting down all public filming of action movies in the nation’s capital. My God, how Orwellian.
And this *is* exactly what Jihadists want. More spineless dhimmitude…
And this won’t make any any safer. It will just further embolden the Jihadists.
