Sociologist Olivier Galland has slammed many of his fellow academics for having a myopic view of radicalisation in France, saying that the effect of Islam is more important than social factors like poverty.
Finally, an expert in France is saying what Jihad Watch and other counter-jihad sources have been saying for some time. It is jihad indoctrination, rooted in calls for violence against infidels for rewards in paradise, that is behind “radicalization in France.” The greater the carnage, the greater the reward.
Let’s hope that more academics can abandon political correctness and follow the example of Galland, for France’s sake. Last week in Paris, 1,600 residents demanded action against the Muslim migrant street gangs that are terrorising them, and a new poll showed that a vast majority of French citizens overwhelmingly back the deportation of jihadi suspects, as well as “banning radical Islam.”
Yet despite all that, a French politician was fined $6,150 for mentioning the phrase “migrant invasion,” even though that is precisely what is happening in France and other EU countries. It is also known as the hijrah.
Sociologist Olivier Galland expressed the problem with jihadists adeptly:
We find a divergence and the existence of a cultural divide between young Muslims and their comrades. For them, religion dominates the secular world: this is what we have called ‘religious absolutism.’
“Religious absolutism” among Muslims is the Salafist paradigm. Proponents of this ideology do not want to integrate, but rather see France as part of the House of War to be subjugated by Islam.
Top scholar Gilles Kepel…..has warned that Europe could be heading down the path to civil war because of the formation of radical Islamic parallel societies.
“Expert: Islam, Not Social Factors, Driving Radicalisation in France,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, April 8, 2018:
Sociologist Olivier Galland has slammed many of his fellow academics for having a myopic view of radicalisation in France, saying that the effect of Islam is more important than social factors like poverty.
After the Bataclan attacks in 2015, Galland launched a survey of high school pupils on the subject of radicalism and found that Muslim students, in particular, were the most tolerant of violence committed in the name of religion Libération reports.
The results of the study, which were published earlier this week, showed that Muslim pupils were often much more illiberal than their non-Muslim counterparts and Galland has claimed that it is the effect of the religion of Islam, rather than simply social factors that drive radicalisation among them.
“We find a divergence and the existence of a cultural divide between young Muslims and their comrades. For them, religion dominates the secular world: this is what we have called ‘religious absolutism’,” Galland said.
“This conception of religion is linked to cultural anti-liberalism, which we measured with several questions, including one on homosexuality: more young Muslims than others do not see it as a normal way of living one’s sexuality,” he added, but stressed: “This does not mean, of course, that all are ultra-radical or that they are potential terrorists.”
According to Galland, the migrant-heavy suburbs of Paris contained the largest amounts of radicalism.
“In some institutions, the proportion of ‘absolutists’ rises to more than 40 per cent. There is also a ‘segregation’ effect: when the rate of Muslim students is very high in a high school, they are more radical than elsewhere. But everywhere, Muslim students are more religiously radical than others,” he said.
Galland also added that only 8 per cent of Christians in the survey advocated any form of religious violence, while the number of Muslim students was 20 per cent.
The study falls in line with what other radical Islamic experts in France have warned, including top scholar Gilles Kepel, who has warned that Europe could be heading down the path to civil war because of the formation of radical Islamic parallel societies…..

BREAKING NEWS: French intellectual declares “Islam has SOMETHING to do with Islam!”
What an INCREDIBLE STORY!! It seems that at least ONE French thinker has READ THE PRIMARY ISLAMIC SOURCE TEXTS BEFORE commenting on Islam.
What a concept for UNIVERSITY STUDENTS! READ THE BOOKS ON THE READING LIST … BEFORE YOU WRITE YOUR ESSAYS OR THESIS!!!
WOW !!!
mortimer says
ISLAMIC “ABSOLUTISM” requires a response of “ABSOLUTE” DEPROGRAMMING
“For them (Muslim students), religion dominates the secular world: this is what we have called ‘religious absolutism’,” Galland said.
“ABSOLUTE” deprogramming is dangerous and should be started by all Western governments to DESTROY ISLAMIC FAITH IN JIHAD.
Since Islam cannot be REFORMED (since it is ‘complete, perfect and eternal’), Islam must be DEPROGRAMMED out of a SELF-HYPNOTIZED ISLAMIC SUBJECT. Islam is entirely SUBJECTIVE.
Following is an example of ‘deprogramming’ ,,,

Cute cat.
Brilliant David Woods.
Carol (the 1st) says
David cheated. That cat is cross-eyed and his depth perception is faulty,
Carol (the 1st) says
And that cat is not likely a “true believer” in the “mysterious one”, We all saw him trying to round up toilet paper instead of relying on his water dish and left paw!
Terry Gain says
I was ready to convert to Islam until I saw that the cat would not walk on The Bible. So I guess I’ll remain a Catlic. But I would like to hear more about all those virgins Islam promises.
Keys says
“…remain a Catlic. …”
?
Tony Holland says
These comments always seem to have base sexual connotations,you seem to have an unhealthy and unnatural interest in ‘virgins’ and how many you might be granted for any given ‘outrage’.
Keys says
David Wood has lots of sense and will power.
He refrained from using pages of the Koran in the cats litter box to show how much cats respect the perfect, eternal word of Mohammad’s Allah.

So now deprogramming is not enough, and we need absolute deprogramming?

“The study falls in line with what other radical Islamic experts in France have warned, including top scholar Gilles Kepel, who has warned that Europe could be heading down the path to civil war because of the formation of radical Islamic parallel societies…..”
Civil war?
So now how can 45 million Muslims fight against 700 million non-Muslims in Europe?
Muslims don’t have a hope in hell unless all become Jihadi suicide attackers and even then……………………
The more likely scenario could be a pogrom, mass incarceration, mass deportation.
Or worse. Some form of Hitlerism.
Terry Gain says
Chand
How many of those non-Muslims are willing to fight? How many are men in their 20s and 30s. How many will be men in their 20s and 30s in 20 years? Most Europeans aren’t even willing to vote to end the Islamic Invasion. How far is the end of your nose?
Keys says
Agree.
Most are fiddlin’ away …
Lots more to add including:
Infiltrate the schools, the government, the military, the media …
Foreign Islamic support in the form of ….
Lawfare ….
Bribery ….
More immigration … … … … …
Beware, the fiddle becomes a violin secretly playing a sad tune.
Rufluc says
I think what you’re forgetting Chand, is the 700 million non-muslim individuals you refer to have been literally ‘paralysed’ from taking any action against the Muslims …….by their own treacherous governments.
Tommy Robinson of the EDL tried, and was jailed for his brave efforts, as were Paul Golding and Jayda Fransen of Britain First, and there are many more like them. And with Muslim appeasing Western leaders like Trudeau, Merkel, May, Macron, Löfven and Wallstrom in power, things aren’t going to change much either.
Our own governments are literally legislating against their own people by creating pathetic one sided ‘hate laws’ that prevent free speech, or any form of opposition against Muslims. However, and as we all know, these laws are not invoked so readily when Muslims spout out their vile hatred of the West.
They also do their utmost to cover up the truth when Muslims commit their heinous crimes against non-Muslims. They are that far up the backside of Islam!
Terry Gain says
Chand
This will be decided by men in their 20s and 30s. How many of those 45 million are men in that age group. How many will there be in 20 years as compared with Muslim men.
Europeans aren’t even prepared to vote to end the Islamic Invasion. It is pollyannish to think they will risk their lives for their country.
And the government will side with the Muslims. As they are doing now.
gravenimage says
The appalling Muslim apologist Chand is so full of crap.
There is an epidiemic of Muslims raping and murdering Infidels, and he pretends that the civlized victims are genocidal nazis. Just sickening calumny.
von says
Here is Alexis de Tocqueville on Islam:
“I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.”
Rufluc says
Does it REALLY need an ‘expert’ to state the bleeding obvious?
If it wasn’t for the loony left and limp wristed liberals, who constantly suckle from the teat of political correctness, then this fact, which the infinitely more intelligent right wing has known from the year dot, could have been acted upon to stop the Islamic plague that is infesting the West!
Only when Western governments openly declare outright war on the treasonous left, instead of capitulating with them and their madness, will things ever change for the better!
Buraq says
Proof positive that arguments to support Islam are sCATological! Clowns!
Savvy Kafir says
Excellent! Good for him! We need many more like Olivier Galand.
This really is encouraging news. Maybe the wall of political correctness that protects Islam is beginning to show some cracks.

Europe’s Civilizational Exhaustion
Article excerpt:
‘In a prophetic conference held in Vienna on May 7, 1935, the philosopher Edmund Husserl said, “The greatest danger to Europe is tiredness”. Eighty years later, the same fatigue and passivity still dominate Western European societies.
It is the sort of exhaustion that we see in Europeans’ falling birth rates, the mushrooming public debt, chaos in the streets, and Europe’s refusal to invest resources in its security and military might. Last month, in a Paris suburb, the Basilica of Saint Denis, where France’s Christian kings are buried, was occupied by 80 migrants and pro-illegal-immigration activists. The police had to intervene to free the site.”
