Jihadist enemies of Western freedoms and democracy remain smug and emboldened. Following the slaughter in Nice, France when 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel mowed through a crowd going zigzag with his truck to kill as many possible while shouting “Allahu akbar”, a remembrance march for the 84 people he murdered and the dozens he wounded — many of whom are still in the hospital — was banned because of safety concerns. Jihadists have celebrated the slaughter, in accordance with Qur’an 8:12:
“I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.”
On a positive note, the French government has created a new civilian National Guard, following an appeal by the so-called “far right National front” leader, Marine Le Pen, who has dramatically surged in popularity since the series of jihad attacks in France.
The new National Guard is intended to protect citizens against jihad terror attacks. All “able-bodied patriots” are being urged to step up to join, with the goal of boosting the current 28,000 reservists by 12,000. According to the interior ministry, about 2,500 have already joined.
“Nice Attack Remembrance March Banned Due To Islamist Threat”, by Liam Deacon, Breitbart, July 28, 2016:
A remembrance march for victims of the Islamic State truck attack in Nice, France has been banned because of continuing safety concerns and stretched security services.
Two weeks ago, on the 14th of July, hundreds of people were mown down by a man crying “Allahu Akbar” as they celebrated France’s national day on the coastal Promenade des Anglais.
More than 10,000 people indicated on Facebook that they would attend the “white march” to remember the 84 who died and the dozens still in hospital.
“Given the very strong mobilisation of law enforcement and emergency and threat, the Alpes-Maritimes authorities have decided not to allow the white march that was to be held Sunday”, authorities announced today in a statement, Le Figaro reports.
The organisers, “who had duly filed a declaration”, were “informed yesterday (Wednesday)” of the decision, which was “made in consultation with the Mayor of Nice” the statement explained.
“March together to honour the victims of the attack on July 14, which killed at least 84 innocent people”, organisers announced on Facebook.
“A thought for their families but also the wounded still hospitalised in the process of fighting,” they added.
This Tuesday, just two weeks after the Nice attack, a priest was slaughtered as he gave mass in Normandy. It was just the latest attack in a year and a half of terror in France, beginning with the Charlie Hebdo shootings in January 2015.
French police have frequently found themselves overrun in recent months, and hundreds of thousands of troops have been deployed to the streets.
Also today, the French government will confirm the creation of a new civilian National Guard to help protect citizens and the nation from Islamist terror attacks.
Authorities are urging all able-bodied volunteers to step up with the aim of boosting the current 28,000 reservists by 12,000. More than 2,500 have already answered the call.

Adrian says
Now that their governments have failed them, will the French people be strong enough to vote them out?
Champ says
“…when 31-year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel mowed through a crowd going zigzag with his truck to kill as many possible while shouting ‘Allahu akbar.’”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I’m 1000% certain that Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel did NOT receive 72 virgins for his islamic jihad–instead he received JUSTICE!
jihad3tracker says
HERE WITH IS AN APOLOGY FROM ME — FOR NOT WELCOMING CHRISTINE WILLIAMS RIGHT AWAY SEVERAL WEEKS AGO — WHEN SHE FIRST BEGAN PUTTING UP EXCELLENT POSTS HERE ON JIHAD WATCH.
As a reader of Robert’s blog since 2011, I have often thought about who would assume some of his legacy as he deservedly becomes the pre-eminent American expert on jihad.
Ms. Williams is worthy of becoming a permanent participant !
Wellington says
I second you here, jihad3tracker.
DFD says
So do I
DFD
bytheway says
Hear Hear!
Jay Boo says
That last line of jihad3tracker’s apology was stated a bit immodestly but, J3T’s apology is worthy of “participation permanence” as well.
Good Move, jihad3tracker
mustapha crap says
Let the march go ahead and arm all of the non Muslims so they can defend themselves and their families against the Muhamadan filth launching JIhad attacks against them.
Arm the citizens of western nations against Islam and let us cleanse our nations of the infestation that is Islam
Wellington says
In effect another win for Islam, though I must confess I’m not into the remembrance, kumbaya, light-a-candle routine. Rather, I greatly prefer, let’s see here, something like “Slay the Islamic terrorists wherever you find them.”
Jay Boo says
Not a complete win however.
French authorities have in effect at least admitted there is a problem.
Even Merkel will have to do the same now as Muslim jihadis (and complicit Muslims) there step up their attacks hoping to strong-arm Merkel back to resume total compliance with full open door un-vetted admissions of Muslim migrants.
Defining the root of the problem will be more of a challenge.
The real problem of course is not ( Muslim jihadis ).
The real problem is Muslims (all Muslims) and their unfixable jihad ideology.
Wellington says
I agree, Jay Boo, that respecting this particular dark cloud there is indeed the silver lining that you mentioned. It’s getting harder and harder for Western elites to deny the inherent pure evil that resides in Islam———all of it and not just some faux distinction between radical Islam and Islam or Islamism and Islam. Nope, in ALL of it.
The rank and file in one Western country after another have been taking note of this. Boy, have they ever and thus I am encouraged here. But, damn, we certainly need a new set of Western elites. Big time. As for the current ones, they elicit from me dripping contempt, as they should from anyone who knows what Islam is really all about.
David A says
It is a heavy price to pay for common sense.
epistemology says
Yes Wellington, that’s the best way to answer, we’re at war. I’m very disappointed that the French authorities act in the same way as the German. But the French people love their liberté, égalité, fraternité they’ll persevere.
Take care my friend and please think of Europe the sinking ship
Wellington says
“…..and please think of Europe the sinking ship.”
I will not ever not think of Europe, epistemology, since it is the continent which produced the greatest civilization of all time——-Western Civilization. My country, America, has been a magnificent extension of this civilization but I never forget that my land is what it is because of Europe (and particularly because of England, which European country most resurrected the experiment in freedom begun by the ancient Greeks).
And so it saddens me greatly to see Europe, at least Western Europe, presently committing slow suicide and for no good reason whatsoever (Eastern Europe, respecting which I cannot include Russia because Russia, well, is not really Europe but only half so and a bad half so at that, is showing the way right now——-in Hungary, the Czech Republic, Poland, Estonia, et al.). Perhaps Western Europe will come to its senses in time and rescue itself from itself. Perhaps. But it can’t do so as long as completely underwhelming people like Merkel, Pope Francis and May are the leaders of Western Europe. Western Europe right now needs Churchills, Benedict XVIs, Adenauers, DeGaulles and other metaphorically muscular people like these. Few in sight. Wilders is one. And there are a few others. But right now Western Europe needs a plethora of them. In droves.
But, again, I will forever think of Europe, as I do of Israel, because we’re all tied at the geopolitical hip if freedom is to be preserved against the freedom-crushing monstrosity which is Islam.
Take good care, my friend. And wax and not wane optimistic like. After all, it serves no purpose to ever give up. Good-bye for now.
BC says
Europe survived Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, I am sure they can survive Islam.
Islam is in no way organised except for aberrations like IS. Which is on its way out as we speak. All its promises of world conquest have come to nought. Yes the atrocities happen but achieve nothing except to trun more aginst Islam. Those who do not believe their leaders that is.
The greatest danger I can see is if Turkey is allowed into the EU, under the present leadership that is unlikely, but with Merkel virtually running EU one never knows. Turkey in EU would be a complete disaster
Gungadin says
Wellington……….I LIKE your STYLE !!! KILL the bastards !!
Mr Flagio says
This shows that the French authorities cannot protect anyone and they are scared to assume that responsibility.
The French need a LePen government. And then its bye-bye muslims.
Angemon says
“Stretched security services”? Not something you want to hear.
Georg says
A short time ago a “March Against Fear” had to be cancelled due to jihadist threat. A German author who was going to have a book meaning “Islamic Fascism” published in French had a publisher back out over fear of jihadist attack. Charlie Hebdo had to throw in the towel on lampooning Muhammed. Sadiq Khan is having advertisements which aren’t Sharia-compliant taken down. In the UK churches are told be be on alter while soldiers are urged not to jog alone. France is having difficulties monitoring 10,000 individuals deemed a potential security threat, requiring almost a quarter agents.
It’s not going well.
Gungadin says
Georg……….I think it’s long overdue that France and Germany and the rest of Europe too start EXPORTING the vermin they have in their midst……..that’s why I LOVE the TRUMPSTER !!! He wont tolerate this kind of BS here in America !!
GO TRUMP 2016
Georg says
* churches are told be be on alert
** requring almost a quarter million agents
steve brown says
The French and German people must both do what the Egyptians did when a Muslim Brotherhood Operative and his cohorts seized power of Egypt’s government.
Victor Redlick says
If you keep doing the same thing over and over again, and expect people to do the Remembrance thing, just because you arrogantly and with futility do nothing but conduct plaintive Memorial encores; not only doesn’t anything change for the better, but actually reprehensibly and inhumanly for the worst; as attested to by the recent multiple sabotages of France (along with the entire EU) and the slaughter of hundreds of innocent people without letup. Elected leaders of most EU nations are as guilty as the wretched Islamic terrorists. A pox on these dilettantes and frauds for their ignorance, incompetence and naivete; all buttressed by greed.
linnte says
It’s not going well at all and not in the USA either. Hillary’s VP nominee is in the pocket of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Gungadin says
Does THAT surprise YOU?
Westman says
It’s a good political response in fear of Le Pen gaining power, however, increasing the National Guard size will be useless for anything but planned mass events.
Who will protect the women and citizens in everyday life? Who will provide an adequate escort for the women at night? Where are the real men who care what happens not only to the women in their own lives but also care what happens to all French women and the future generations?
linnte says
Increasing the military only increases the Police State.
Gungadin says
‘Bout time for Block Patrols…….
citycat says
@Linnt
Where are the real men?
I don’t think is a shortage of “real men”.
“Real men” may be arrested and called Islamophobic for defending their women, their culture, their country, themselves, and their children.
It seems that the “darkest hour” looms, and not too soon by the look of the mess that has been allowed to happen, by the leaders?
The law is not working for the people who are being sacrificed to the warring altar of Islam.
Where are the real leaders?
I have no disrespect to women, but i think as leaders, well, i’m not too confident in that regard.
Women’s power works best in conspiratorial circles, like witchcraft.
Maybe everyman should be a leader unto themselves. How can that work with the restrictions forced upon everyone with regard to the non-stop war of Islam?
linnte says
Oh! Did I say “real men?” Hummm. I will have to check and reread my comments.
Norwegian says
But…but…
They promosed that multiculture was enrichment, good for echonomy and a more peacefull world. And they said muslims was mostly good people like us…

From the article -” Also today, the French government will confirm the creation of a new civilian National Guard to help protect citizens and the nation from Islamist terror attacks.
**Authorities are urging all able-bodied volunteers to step up with the aim of boosting the current 28,000 reservists by 12,000. More than 2,500 have already answered the call.** [my emphasis – dda].
Unlike certain commenters above, I think this is a *good* thing. The more people do it, the more it will be a citizen army. Frankly, right now, what France needs is to emulate *Israel* and require that ALL young French men and women – INFIDEL French *ONLY* – go through basic training, straight after high school. Reinstate ‘national service’. Because France is going to need ALL of them to take back their country, soon enough. To retake the ‘no go’ zones and reassert French sovereignty and French law. (Dear French readers of this post: tell Marine Le Pen that this is what you want; an Israel-style national draft, **for homeland defence, for homeland security against the Jihad**… because that is precisely what the IDF is. Another model would be Switzerland).
And I would urge any French lurkers and posters here who are of military age – let’s place it broadly at 18-45 – and able-bodied – whether male or female – to seriously consider signing up. Because … the French national guard and army reserves *need* to be ‘salted’ with recruits who **know all about Islam**. Join up. Get training. Get weapons training. Get to know your fellow recruits. Train enthusiastically. Keep a *very* beady eye on any identifiable Muslims amongst your fellow recruits… do. not. trust. them. And, as you find opportunity, very quietly, try to find out how many of your native French fellow recruits *understand the meaning and menace of Islam*… and, very discreetly, point them toward Jihadwatch and toward the Canadian French-language blog, Point de Bascule.
Niccolai Sennels, a Dane who has ‘woken up’ to Islam, is a youngish man of fighting age. You know what he has done? As well as writing books and articles and trying to awaken people and help them ‘know the enemy’, he has **joined the Danish Home Guard**.
If you are too old to become a reservist or a national guardsman (or woman)… then you can encourage those around you, who *are* of an appropriate age and ability, to do so.
The Muslims are not rattled by tears, flowers, and candle light processions.
But they *do*, like all bullies, back off if they encounter a solid and unapologetic display and exercise of superior force.
That is why those 2500 French who have already joined the French reserves, are a heartening sign. That is worth more than 1000 weepy FB memes. Here’s hoping their numbers multiply tenfold; and that among them are many, many French who have worked out what Islam is, how dangerous it is and that what France is facing is a jihad waged from within, ‘human shielded’ by the Muslim ummah on French soil.
linnte says
I need to clarify my “police state” comment. It makes me fearful that police and law enforcement increases may become the snoop patrol and backfire on society by expanding their power to include average non Muslim citizens. I am all for more POLICING of Muslim activities and Mosques. (What I would really like is to see Islam eradicated!) I guess I can envision George Orwell’s 1984 all to clearly as evidenced by prohibiting conversation about Islam as islamophobia and hate speech. ?
Gungadin says
dumbdorseyarmy……….I think one ot the worst things that America did was eliminate the draft…..I’m pushing 80 and a proud US Veteran. The service makes men out of boys –at least in my time they did….that being said, there’s still a volunteer armed services. But most people avoid serving our country as if it was poisoned…..I’ve always felt that Israel had the RIGHT IDEA. If you’re a citizen there you MUST perform some type of service for your country. Seems to me its a damn good idea…..This world has gotten so politically correct that it makes me want to PUKE !! God we have men with less back bone than women !!! What a truly sad world………
