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

France spends $40,000,000 on new fences around the Eiffel Tower

Jun 17, 2018 1:13 pm By Robert Spencer

Everyone knows these defenses are meant to safeguard the Eiffel Tower against Islamic jihadis, but of course no one would dare say such a thing. That would be “Islamophobic.” And so France is a country under siege, a country at war, against an enemy it dares not identify, while regularly importing massive numbers of people among whom will be an unknowable number of enemy combatants. France, in other words, has gone quite mad. And it is not alone.

“Eiffel Tower perimeter fence built to stop terrorism,” BBC, June 15, 2018:

Paris is to unveil its newly built perimeter defences around the Eiffel Tower to protect against terror threats.

Temporary barriers were placed around the tower in June 2016, and are now being replaced with more permanent measures.

Set to be completed in mid-July, the fences cost nearly €35 million ($40.1m; £30.1m).

More than 240 people have died in terror attacks in France since 2015.

Bernard Gaudillère, president of the Société d’Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel (SETE) which runs the iconic monument, said the new walls were “rock-solid for absolute security”.

Glass walls measuring 6.5cm (2.5in) thick will form two sides of the square, with the other two blocked off by 3.24m (10.6ft) high metal barriers, exactly one-hundredth the height of the tower.

To prevent vehicle attacks, 420 blocks will be placed in front of the glass walls as an added protection.

The forecourt under the Eiffel tower has been closed to the public since June 2016, with anti-terror troops regularly patrolling the site….

    Regarding those Muslim migrants who were allowed to enter the different countries of Western Europe with result in them not only being ungrateful but even worse yet many of those Muslim migrants becoming so very arrogant to the point that they became criminals . As in some of them engaged in rioting and even rapes of the European girls and women. In addition to this vile brutal behavior by the heinous Muslim who were kindly permitted to enter the nations of Europe to live, As the countries of ,for example France, Germany Sweden, Denmark etc. This unthankful Islamic spirit on the part of those lawless violent Muslims who immigrated to the countries of Europe may be explain, in part, by the fact that the Muslim fundamentalist group that even had the president of Egypt assassinated in the month of October of the year 1981 has a fifty –five booklet that is was written only for Muslims fundamentalists but was later discover by non-Muslims. This booklet’s title is THE NEGLECTED DUTY. One scholar, Johannes Jansen who had thoroughly investigated Islam and Islamic terrorism has even discover that those Muslims, who had entered Europe of behaved in violent and heinous ways, are actually action out what they view and a sacred individual duty of the jihad as by engaging in awful violent criminal action in non-Muslim lands . As Jansen revealed that jihad booklet of Islam, THE NEGLECTED DUTY “contains all the ideological material needed to justify the attacks of 9/11 or any other acts of terror committed to frighten non-Muslims. And he thinks the document explains the criminal behavior of suburban and center –city immigrant youngsters in many European cities; its author clearly ‘sees Islam as license to kill rob and commit arson.’ “ [1] Nevertheless, many of the apologists for Islam still have that blatant gall , in spite of all the facts of reality, to actually make the claim the Islam is a “peaceful religion.” What a totally false to make that Islam is “a peaceful religion “What Bull! A “peaceful religion” indeed.

      This proves one thing only: that the government of France is interested in protecting a piece of old iron. It is not interested in protecting the people of France. There is a special spot in Hell reserved just for them.

        And the French counterterrorism police. They are twiddling their thumbs all day long (?). They are doing what they can with the tools that they have.
        Bravo to our police and gendarmerie.

        I have used this many times before.
        There are no tanks grinding their tracks in the streets. There is no sound of roaring aircraft engines overhead dropping bombs on the cities. Citizens aren’t being dragged from their homes and shot or imprisoned…yet the people and cities are under siege. why?
        WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY FACE TO FACE…and WE ARE IT!

      Well in Tours, where he battled, is now one of the biggest mosques of France. And his grave in the Cathedral of St. Denis in Paris, that quartier is now mostly populated by muslims. Just wait and his grave will be blown up or the Cathedral will become a mosque. Just a matter of time.

      marble he’s one of the problems they have today.. Back in the early ’60’s he was heard to have said,,,,, “We have to get these American’s out of France”….. Dean Rusk turned to him and said,,,,, “Does that mean all of the ones buried here also”…. You could’ve heard a pin drop.. SO,,,,, the mooooooooooooooslim diaperhead thing was in the making back then..

        Degaulle had his reasons, he did not want France to be vassalized by the US.
        He wanted a united Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals.
        We cannot ignore Russia, they are European too, Americans by definition live on another continent.

          This does however not mean that we are expected to obey the US leaders without discussion.
          As I have already said, France is an European country but we have a coast along the Mediterranean. So we cannot ignore North Africa and Middle East, and as Europeans we cannot ignore Russia too.

    The loss of the beautiful open park setting surrounding the Eiffel Tower is a sad marker of what has become of our once free societies. Freedom, safety and openness lost to the death cult of islam.

          Jun 18, 2018 at 4:37 am

          Hi gravenimage,

          France is one of the least religious countries in the world. Islam is perceived as a medieval sect. In France civilization = philosophy. We make fun of the gods that man keeps inventing.
          This is not the first time “Muslims” want to settle in France, at that time they wanted to leave the Ottoman Empire. The king said they could stay if they converted to Roman Catholicism, what they did. Many French, especially in the south, have probably North African or Middle Eastarn ancestors.
          Nowadays “Muslims” can stay too, but they must accept French secularism.
          French secularism is directly derived from Roman Catholic theology and philosophies from the Age of Enlightenment.
          Amitiés.

        This stupid American joke does not amuse me. My father fought the Nazis. Do not forget France is the European country with the best military record.
        We are not bigots, and we hate sectarianism. Islam is a sect, and many French “Muslims” reject Islam. They are liberal as many Jews in France.
        France as many other European countries, needs great leaders.

    As someone pointed out elsewhere:

    A fence at the border would be for the people; this one is for the politicians.

    The closest historical parallel to this idiotic madness I can think of, is when the German dictator in 1945 commanded his armed forces to destroy Germany’s infrastructure completely. Because, he remarked, the German people were treacherous, as they had failed to secure German military victory.
    Was it not the Roman insane emperor Caligula who once wished that all the Roman people together had but one head so that he might cut it off with one blow?

    Is the forthcoming destruction of the judo-christian culture of Europe of the same nature?
    Did the Europeans really fail utterly to satisfy the European Elite’s expectations of European world supremacy by not becoming united – and the Elite members are honourable men?
    Maybe the Elite have a point – the alien people which is to replace the European people is much more warlike in appearance and performance than the civilised Europeans. It has been demonstrated time and again. Americans should beware when Europe turns caliphatic.

    This is obscene! And it would be entirely unnecessary if there were no Muslims in France. And everyone knows it. And that SHOULD mean something to the politically correct Friends Of Islam.

    That money would be much better spent on rounding up Muslims and deporting them back to the savage lands that created them.

        Laveritétriomphera — With enough money, guns, and determination, the French could send them back to Algeria, or to someplace in the Muslim world. That $40 million would be a good start.

    They might as well paint a red bulls-eyed on it, because that’s exactly the effect the new fence will have on the jihadis. Everybody loves a challenge. Kiss it goodbye.

    I’d say something like “simply unbelievable”…because in the world i remember just a few years back, that’s exactly what it would be.

    But it’s all too believable at the moment.

    Loonies are running the nicest countries ever created, and all they want to do is destroy them in the name of the insane ideas they are fixated on.

    Unbelievable a country in lock down full of growing ‘ sensitive urban areas ‘ . How can we cope with such hatred against our civilisation , I know lets bring in more haters to live here .mohammed said it will not ztop till the i fidels accept Islam. Twenty thirty years from now , when we are all under dhimitude , do you think elderly merkel and Tmay will be oppressed ? No they and their children will be muslim converts. And burkas wont keep western women safe , just a little safer. The art we all love will be gone , we are under attack. And our governments cant let the invaders in fast enogh. what about the human rights of western women who are no longer safe from attack ?

    Wouldn’t it be more efficient to build a fence, and I dunno s”nk a few “refugee” shi[s, around France than to build fences around several thousand tourist attractions? Also, the message to those “outside the walls” is obvious. You’re on your own.

    “Said the new walls were “rock-solid for absolute security”

    You know what’s even far more “rock-solid for absolute security”? Yeah, that’s to stop importing terrorists! More effective, more secure, and virtually 0 cost.
    Why is that hard to figure it out?
