Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

More than half of French population lives in constant fear of jihad massacre

Nov 12, 2016 8:52 am By Robert Spencer

They should be less fearful than determined and resolute, but they have every reason to be afraid: the jihadis are growing more aggressive by the day, while their government remains in denial and willful ignorance about the nature and magnitude of the threat, and continues to exacerbate it with its immigration policies. The French people have every reason to feel betrayed, abandoned, and helpless.

“France gripped by TERROR FEARS: More than half terrified of being killed in ISIS attack,” by Romina McGuinness, Express, November 11, 2016:

MORE than half of all French people live with the constant fear of a looming attack, and strongly believe they could become the next victim of terrorism, according to an opinion poll conducted by the Red Cross.

The news comes in the wake of the one-year anniversary of the November 13, 2015 terrorist attacks on Paris, where a heavily-armed and highly-trained ISIS commando stormed through the lively La République neighbourhood, leaving 130 dead, hundreds injured, and millions mentally scarred.

The shocking poll, which was carried out by the market research institute, Ifop, shows the terror threat to France has crept its way up to the top of the country’s priority list in recent years: only 38 per cent were worried that a massive terrorist attack would hit France in 2010.

An Ifop spokesperson said: “Some 70 per cent of French people said that the wave of ISIS- and al-Qaeda-led terrorist attacks – mostly carried out by homegrown jihadists – to have hit France throughout 2015 and 2016 has only served to exacerbate this fear.”

But, despite being “extremely” worried about the extremist threat, only around one third – 35 per cent – said they would know what to do and how to react in the event of a terror or bomb attack, he continued….

    Those pushing for open doors to muslim migrants really need to reflect on that poll. In fact if you needed a case study on what happens to a Western country that has a rising muslim population, France is a perfect example. Forty or fifty years ago, the reality of what France has become would have been unimaginable.

      Those pushing for open doors “migration” from muslim countries are mostly either complicit or so ideologically driven that they’ll consider those numbers an expression of “islamophobia” and that the best way to dispel “islamophobia” is to bring in more “migrants” so people can meet a nice muslim and change their minds. It makes a great study case for other countries though.

          I wonder-however- how firms that punish/fire people (or ask for their resignations, as one firm did-publicly the other day) (saying that if the person was a Trump supporter, they should resign immediately)- will do financially. POORLY, I expect.

          There is (probably soon to be extinct, I think) internet jewelry co. One of the Trump women (not sure if Mrs. Trump or one of the daughters). saw their catalog. AND ORDERED $50.00–FIFTH DOLLARS (possibly a bitless-) of their jewelry, to give as a gift.

          Rather then thanking the woman, they (I am not on either-so going by what I heard- Facebook or Twitter– not sure which, possibly both) said that they are sending the jewellry, and donating the money to some illegal refugee fund; the Clinton campaign and some other left wing nut group.

          The result was a massive amount of people blasting the co., some people vowing never to buy, etc.

          Pure stupidity
          Could have taken the Trump lady’s purchase and used it for good publicity (Look,Mrs. Trump or Ms Trump- thought so highly of our jewelry EVEN SHE bought some to give as a gift).

          Mary: You are correct. If these people can murder 57+ million babies in the USSA, even live babies to sell their undamaged parts, they will gladly turn old people into soyliet green. Also Mary, Us old people already got a foot on the old banana peel. What a better way to go than to Speak Truth to Power!
          .
          Oliver: These people are so bitter and have Satan in their hearts they have no concept of civility. Look at the Left burnin and trashing for LOVE. Or Clinton saying she understands the fear Muslims and Gays have with Trump President even though Muslims will and HAVE murdered numerous GAYs in the USSA!
          .
          We need ALL the irreconcilable deplorables to boycott as much a possible these flaming Lib companies. Unfortunately that would be most, so a list of the MOST to be avoided should be made and a list of those American friendly should also be made so people can make appropriate choices when an opportunity exists.

    The robotics revolution will soon make the need for cheap imported labour completely obsolete and given how much Islamic immigration costs the modern world in costs for upkeep, extortion rackets, subsidized housing, criminal enterprises, increased police and security services, health services, etc… Islamic immigrants overall are far more of a burden on a non-muslim society than any other group on the planet. Send them all to a region outside of Europe and only allow back those who can demonstrate the ability to fully intergrate into modern civilization.

      Most of these Muslim invaders are not working–they are just sucking up welfare. Here’s what is happening in neighboring Germany:

      That happened in Arizona. A farmer- who could not get migrants o work cheap enough, -either himself or he hired someone/some firm- to design a machine to do the job. Result- more productivity; less wastee, lower costs. AND MORE PROFIT.

    What this article does not mention is the unhappiness of the French police doing very long hours without the backing of the government. The country is still in a state of emergency. Also muslims in France make up 10 per cent of the population. The government know that if they crack down on the muslims there could be a civil war. The French have a large police force but even they are scared of the repercussions if the 6 million muslims take action. It’s fine for your correspondants to say “fight back”, “get rid of them” – but with the number of muslims in France that is now impossible. Beware America – it will be you next.

      C Watson, it is *not* too late. To cede France when it is 10% Muslim is madness. Taking the country back will be very difficult–but it is *not* impossible.

      The native Infidels took back Spain, Portugal, southern France, Sicily, southern Italy, Greece, the Balkans, and Israel back under circumstances that were more dire than this.

        gRAVEN-IN MY VIEW, THE FROGS HAVE NO GUTS.

        Look at how long it took them (1939-40) to capitulate to the Nazis. Was it 7 days or 10?

        (The Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto,WITH NO WEAPONS, HELD OUT LONGER).

        Read (I have posted before) Obermayer- SOLDIERING FOR FREEDOM (or SOLDIERING FOR PEACE- )- Mr. Obermayer was a privileged Jew, who enlisted in the US Army after Pearl Harbor.

        The book is from the letters that he wrote to his family.

        he was sent to France right after D day. His comments about the French are WHAT WAS NOT TAUGHT IN SCHOOL- how they basically helped the nazis, and were not that helpful to the Americans and British. (Univ. of Texas Press- written 2015 or2016). Mr. Obermayer became a journalist, and had access to many records- after the war. Great book.

          .
          Something like 8 thousand Frenchmen and women were executed by the Resistance as German forces pulled out. Many of the women got off with their heads shaved.
          .
          I lived in Germany in the 1980s for 3 years and flew allover Europe as an Army Aviator. Almost ALL people were very nice through Western Europe except the French in the major cities. The countryside French/farmers were also very nice like ALL over people. It was the Elitist EduMaKated city dwellers who were the slobs with attitudes. Perhaps just like in the USSA today!

    What a horrible meltdown of France. Will they finally comprehend when it comes to the next election that they can regain control of France before it is completely too late? Even as it is, the act of freeing France from this reign of Islamic terror will be bloody and violent and very nearly a civil war. They have to understand that. This is where their leaders have taken them to.

    If the data are true, Islam has already conquered France. Unless the French start fighting back, they will sink deeper into submission until they’re paying formal jizya or converting to their masters’ religion just to get a job or stay alive.
    As I recall, there were 5,000 soldiers to an ancient Roman legion. How many legions of wifeless, childless “immigrants” are in France right now?

    IT’s very easy to assume that Islam is “winning”. What you overlook is the difference of appearance from reality. Islam is in a crisis unprecedented in its previous 1400 years. There are now millions of copies of its “perfect” “miraculous” book, exposed for all to see as the pathetic idiocy it is. And more and more Muslims are now literate to read it. As a result more and more people of Muslim ancestry are rejecting the cult. Many are now speaking out and joining apostate groups. They’re no longer silenced by the death threats. A great many more are just pretending they haven’t apostatised. The fact is not lost on them that all the fancy tech they are constantly using (phones, cars, leccy) were invented and make by those lowlife kaffirs

    Islam is now the laughing stock of the internet. Muslims squeal and bite just as a cornered rat squeals and bites. It doesn’t mean it’s winning. The Greek/Roman gods only lasted about 14 centuries before the superior Christianity dethroned them. Islam’s appointment with the trash bin of history is also coming now.

  13. Cretius says

    Nov 12, 2016 at 5:56 pm

    At some point Christians will realise that a new Crusade is necessary to expell Islam from Europe. Each outrage proves Muslims are not fit immigrants/refugees to a western democracy.

I was driving, and had to shut the radio office-otherwise, i was afraid I would regurgitate. How effing clueless could someone be?

    No crusade is necessary. All that is needed is freedom of speech (which Trump will reactivate) and in the context of unprecedented information the stupidity of Islam will seal its own fate. Islam has only got so far because there’s not been any people in power other than the PC loons. Trump changes that.
