The Muslim Arab rappeur Medine, famous for his “violent lyrics,” which are full of pro-Islam and anti-white sentiments, has just been forced to cancel his two scheduled concerts at the Bataclan, the club where, in November 2015, Muslim terrorists murdered 90 people. When I googled the story, I was struck by the insistent appearance of one epithet:
French Far-Right Celebrates.
New York TimesFrench Muslim rapper cancels Bataclan shows after far-right protests
The IndependentMuslim rapper cancels Paris Bataclan concert after far-right protests
ReutersFar-right leader Marine Le Pen welcomed the cancellation of rapper Medine’s concerts at the Bataclan, where 90 people died in an attack…
Far-right, far-right, far-right….I think the world’s media are trying to tell us something. But in fact, they are wrong. The most important opponents of Medine’s pro-Muslim concerts at Bataclan were the enraged families of those who were murdered there, families who called his possible appearance a “sacrilege.” People in Marine Le Pen’s party participated in protests, and signed petitions, but contrary to the media with their unchanging epithet of “far-right,” the unifying theme of Le Pen’s party is nothing particularly far-right, unless “far-right” is to be the permanent epithet affixed to all those who are islamocritics. And many who had nothing to do with Marine Le Pen, such as the writer and journalist Eric Zemmour, were also against Medine’s appearance.
As for Medine himself, he has been described as “controversial” and “provocative,” as well as, more accurately, as an “Islamo-hooligan” who spouts “violent lyrics.” He claims to be not a Muslim propagandist, but just a misunderstood artist. But his first two albums were titled “Jihad” and “September 11.” His fans buy photographs of him wearing his favorite T-shirt, the one that reads “Jihad” along with a picture of a sword. “Controversial” and “provocative” indeed. One of his most famous songs is “Don’t Laik,” which is pronounced like the English “Don’t Like,” but here means “Don’t Laic,” that is, don’t observe the principle of laïcité, which refers to the secular ideology requiring the complete separation of religion and state. Medine doesn’t like that notion; he’s a Muslim who wants his religion to be very much involved in political matters. He repeatedly pours out his hatred for whites, calling they “porcs” (pigs), “pedophiles” (pedophiles), and “demons” (demons). His racism is apparently okay, however, because it is directed at whites, and they don’t deserve any better, especially if Muslims, a protected class all over the West, are making the charge. Medine likes to say that he is deliberately provocative in order to shatter stereotypes. What “stereotypes” are those? Would those “stereotypes” by any chance be those that describe him perfectly, a crowd-pleasing clown, menacing in his manner, denouncing non-Muslims, calling down “fatwas on the heads of these [secularist] idiots” and threatening them with death, flaunting on his clothing a sword and the word “Jihad”? Would that stereotype cover Medine’s song “Jihad,” in which he calls for the murder, by crucifixion, of all secularists? Medine is an appalling singer of excruciating and murderous rap, condemned forever to being his own stereotype.
But what does the truth matter? How many of those who read the stories in the world’s media about Medine will learn about his lyrics, his calling down a fatwa on the heads of secularists, his demanding they be crucified (and with his impressionable fans, some of them just might take his words to heart)? Very few, for this kind of information you have to go to certain small websites in French. Few readers of the New York Times, or the Washington Post, or dozens of other major news sites, will find out that he wears a T-shirt with a sword and the word “Jihad” on it. None will learn about his rants against white “pigs.”
Medine will not, fortunately, be singing at the Bataclan, the site of the worst Muslim murders in France. But he will sing elsewhere, calling for Jihad, demanding death for secularists, and damning all whites as pigs and pedophiles. Great stuff. Is there really no way — no laws on the books in France about inciting racial hatred? Doesn’t calling all white people pigs and pedophiles constitute inciting racial hatred? And what about Medine’s calling for “a fatwa on the heads” of secularists, and even for their “crucifixion” — is that not clear incitement to murder? The question is not why it was right to ban Medine from singing at the Bataclan, but why, given his lyrics and his total affect, he should be allowed to sing his malevolent and murderous songs anywhere.

So one is far right for being against Islam?
I’m against Islam because of my liberal values, because I believe in secularism.
How did it come to this, that if you’re against what is obviously a far right authoritarian and totalitarian ideology or system, that you yourself are considered far right?
Great article you’ve written, Mr. Fitzgerald.
Thank you.

ARE THE GLOBALIST BANKSTERS who OWN and CONTROL the MEDIA not FAR-RIGHT???
If multi-billionaires are not FAR-RIGHT, then who is? What? Did BILLIONAIRES magically become socialists who want to REDISTRIBUTE their own BILLIONS to the TOILING MASSES??? Of is it all just BS? What is their REAL AGENDA?
Are the GLOBALISTS who are censoring FACEBOOK and TWITTER and removing INDEPENDENT NEWS COMMENTATORS … are those GLOBALIST BILLIONAIRES ‘MARXISTS’ ????
Impossible! The greatest disguise is to disguise something as its OPPOSITE. The GLOBALIST BANKSTERS are trying to misrepresent DEMOCRATIC POPULIST PATRIOTISM as FASCISM.
What the GLOBALIST BANKSTERS are doing is FASCISM… including ZUKERBERG at FACEBOOK … they are censoring ALTERNATE OPINIONS so they may seize COMPLETE CONTROL of the GLOBALIST “NARRATIVE”.
Roderick MacUalraig says
Can’t disagree.
Michael Copeland says
As Pat Condell puts it:
“I am opposed to Islam because Islam is opposed to me.”
Roderick MacUalraig says
Smartly put.
Lydia Church says
There are people from many walks of life, that for logical reasons… oppose islam and jihad terror.
And they are 100% correct.
But I will let you guys in on a little secret.
The globalists behind the scenes honestly don’t even care about who opposes jihad. They are just using islam and its advancement for their own goals, such as the migrant invasion, for many globalist causes which I can’t take the time to go over again now. They know all kinds of people will oppose the migrant invasion and of course jihad since all kinds of bad things happen as a result. But when it comes to people opposing jihad, they have a card to play in that too for their agenda. It gives them an excuse to single out those on the ‘far right.’ ‘Right wing extremists’ are at it again!!! …read the headlines. It’s not just from that direction. From many areas of society, they are sculpting out the term ‘right wing extremists’ to be viewed in the most hated and negative light.
‘Right wing extremists’ are being singled out to be aligned with all things bad. These people are Trump supporters, and Kavanaugh supporters, they are against women, immigrants, open borders, even other races than white, gun control… lgbt, abortion, etc. after all…. and so the rants go on… and the protests get more violent against us.
We stand for good things but the things themselves are painted as bad, we oppose bad things (like jihad), but the bad things are painted as good. In the end, good people are painted as bad.
The whole goal here is not so much to promote one thing (which they do and it does fit in with the bigger plot), but to slander us under the term ‘right wing.’ After that it is just one simple step to shift over from the term right wing to the term Christian, or all under that umbrella with a focus on us as Christians. It’s all just paving the way and setting the stage for their onslaught against us.
We can expect them to throw around that term a lot more in the future and in a negative way.

Is this another claim that Islam is not actually a threat?
Noel Anderson says
Why is this evil bastard still walking…..
mortimer says
Do those GLOBALIST journalists actually thing the GENOCIDAL Islamo-fascist rapper Médine is NOT a TRUE FASCIST ???
BREAKING NEWS:
MÉDINE IS A TRUE FASCIST… an ISLAMO-FASCIST.
JM says
The slogan on Médine’s t-shirt reads “Jihad Le plus grand combat est contre soi même”, (The greatest struggle/fight is against oneself,)
That is because, like many Muslims, he wants the kuffar to believe that Jihad is chiefly an internal struggle. The Qu’ran, the Hadith and the many terrible deeds done by Mohammed make it quite clear that this is not the case. Jihad is dar-al Islam against dar-al Harb – at war and for ever.
As usual, the slogan on the t-shirt is taqiyya. When will we ever learn?
Norger says
And Robert Spencer is banned from the UK, while this artist remains welcome to spout his overtly racist and violent Islamo-bile.
JM says
That is because the Muslim minority here in the UK is a large one and growing larger all the time. Politicians can’t afford to offend them.
It will not end well,

So this vile Muslim rapper can walk around freely with a Jihad T-shirt, complete with sword, but a native UK citizen would likely be attacked for wearing a “Make Britain Great Again” MBGA ball cap???
Arnold Jackson says
The very moment that any Muslim performs there, the Bataclan becomes a site of victory for Islam.
Brian hoff says
Miss Penn lost already by opponents his musical event etherway Islam win. If would have being better to support his musical event.

Is “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–trying to say that resistance is futile? Sorry, thug–we don’t believe that.
Norger says
We should celebrate the vibrant diversity of this Muslim rapper calling for the crucifixion of non-believers. Anything less would be “far right.”

……………………
So now if you oppose Jihad you are “far right”?
John C. Massam says
Western society’s religious leaders were too busy molesting children to read and digest the Koran, one of the accepted Hadiths, and The Reliance of the Traveller. If they had, they would have been back the truly decent leaders trying to stop the followers of Jihad from slowly winning.
